LONDON, Jan. 25.-[ Herald special. i
| There is tremendous excitement in this
| city over the rumored treaty for the capitu-
lation of Paris. Many doubt the truth of
the report, and this disbelief is infused by
| rumor that Favre is actually on his way
| to London to attend the conference. 1t is
said he is expected here ut 2.15 p. M. to-
day, but that is improbable. On 'Change
there is an ehervescing excitement. The
members are gathered in groups talking
eagerly, and editions Of the papers brought
| in are eagerly scanned. Everything is
rising. yet there is little doing, rs members
are too excited. The West End clubs were
crowded at an unusually early hour, and in
| the omnibuses and railroad cars the sub
| ject of the rumored capitulation is the one
topic. Among the French residents gene
raj satisfaction is expressed. Their opinion
| is that the rumor is well founded, and the
| fact of Trochu's resignation is accepted as
proof of its truth. = - =.
