are becoming more demonstratiVe. Some
speakers demand the arrest and trial of
hose who surrendered the city. The
Liberal Republican Committee has de-

On the Verge of Starvation.
Flour will be exhausted by Saturday
and Sunday Paris will be without bread
Great fears are expressed that Paris may,
after tomorrow, experience the horrors
of actual starvation. This, coupled with
fears of violence from the ultra mob
makes the more respectable portion of
the people long even for the presence of
the Prussisns' protection. The feeling
against Gambetta is much increased If
he pursues his revolutionary course his
arrest will certainly be ordered.
Deduction.
LONDON, Feb. THE Echo du Nord
has special dispatch from Berlin to-
day, saying that the contribution already
exacted by German commanders is to be
deducted from the amount of the war
indemnity; also the value of the railroads
of Alsace and Lorraine.
