THE ECAPITULATIoNNE NEG GoTIATIoNs.
The negotiations between Bismarck
and Fayre form one OF the most inter
esting chapters in the history Of this
memorable war The arrival of Fayre
was known to none except those imlne-
diately concerned in conducting him
through the lines. On his arrival at the
house occupied by Bismarck he was i'm
mediately admitted into the presence OF
tie Chancellor. After a few preliInin.
ary remarks, Bismarck said: @
"WelI, Monsieur Favre, what Is the
object of this visit 2" -
Fayre, much affected, replied: "Thc
object is to put a stop to the terrible
suffering in the country, for, now thai
all hope of relief from without seems
to be lost, Paris must needs seek peace
All We ask is such consideration as {
generous enemy might give without loss
disadvantage or honor
Bismarck expressed desire to do al
in his power to show his respect for tht
sufferings and gallantry. Of the French
nation, consistent with the safety, honor
and interest of. the United Germany. HI
said that this had been, from first to last
the object and desire Of the Emperor, ,ant
all his advisers, since the commence
meht Of this unhappy war, which was
forced upon them.
Favre first demanded the terms al
ready, reported. Bismarck replied; "I
is not my province to refuse to accep
the terms, but must say thai the pres
ent proposals are such that I can mo-
myself approve them, and / feel conf
dent that my august master will fejec
them However, it is my duty to sub
nit them to his consideration Favr,
was politely but strictly placed under
surveillance, and occupied an apartment
over the Police Bureau As. already
known, the first overtures were prompt
" rejected. s :,
After Favre's return with an accept
ance of the terms in substance denan
ded by the Emperor, great excitemen
prevailed at Versailles: The Mayor
went twice to police head quarters to en-
deayor to obtain an interview, but re
ceiyed peremptory order not to repea
the attempt, as such an act would rem
der him liable to Imprisonment.
An interview again took place between
Bismarck and Favre. The former af
terward waited on the King and Coun
Gil, when Fayre's acceptance on the par
Of the Provisional Government was sub
mitted. After Bismarck left the Emper
or, he walked into the Office of his Chiet
Aid, Gcmdorff, and began to whistle The
Prussian air which the trumpeter sounds
at boar hunts when the boar is dowI
and settled. After concluding the tune
walked out again, never having spoker
single word to any one present. Mex
