The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1871-03-03

LONDON, Feb. 28.-A dispatch from
HaYre says the Germans, unaware of I
of the armistice, attacked /
that city to-day. Their operations were |
checked by the appearance of the flag
of truce from the city with the news, |
and hostilities at once ceased.
VERSAILLES, Feb. 2S.-Last night at
a banquet, the Emperor showed his |
guests preliminary treaty of peace |
signed an hour before, and accepted the
fluctuations of the august personages
present. The Emperor embraced Won
Moltke and Won Room, and expressed
ms deep gratitude for the invaluable
services of these officers. His majestv's
neaith VIII probably prevent his review
ing the troops on horseback, but he
certainly will review them on Champs
DE Mars. 1t is the intention of his
majesty to witness the entry of the
eleventh corps at the euciente Wednes-
DAY morning. The reasons for his do
ing this are obvious to all who are ac-
qualnted with the state of public feel
ing IN Paris and vicinity. The spot Sc
ieeted for the purpose is kept secret.
The eleventh corps viii have the hon
or of being the first Prussian force that
will occupy the French capitol. At ten

colors flying and band PLAYING in full
war strength 10000 strong, with SO field
guns. At the end of days they will
be relieved by another corps, probably
the guards. The procession will prob
ably involve the presence of 10000 Ger
man soldiers within the enciente at one
time. Each corps will remain 3 days
and be succeeded by another until all
have had their turn. The whole period
of occupation has not yet been determ-
ined. The Parisians seem to suppose
the occupation will last only few days.
This is not unlikely, but it may prove a
delasiVe hope, for the occupation may
last many months, which seems not i'm
probable from certain indications at
present.
PARIS, Feb. 2S.-Oficial notice signed
by NJ. Picard confirms the signatures of
the preliminaries of peace. He has also
announced that the armistice is pro-
acquisitions in the meantime are to
cease. The entrance of the Germans
into Paris was the price paid to save
Belfort. The Germans will enter Paris
on Wednesday and will eYacuate i'm
mediately on the notification of peace.
The consultation commission goes to
Bordeaux ON Tuesday, and the debate
upon the ratification of the treaty will
commence Immediately.
The Prussian army will occupy the
left bank of the Seine. No French
man in uniform is to be allowed to en-
ter the German portion of the city,
which will be surrounded by barri-
cades. There was much patriotic agita-
ton on Sunday night in Consequence of
report of the immediate entry of the
Germans, and guard was erected on
the ramparts in the Champs Elysus to
repel the enemy. However there was
no disturbance at midnight Sunday,
and quiet was restored. On Monday
morning crowds surrounded the notice
signed by NJ. Picard, and which had
been placarded in various parts of the
city, appealing for the preservation OF
order and for public dignity. The
crowd also invaded the prison of st.
Pelagie and freed the two comman-
dants of the guards who had been
placed under arrest there. The papers
will suspend publication during the oc-
cupation. 1t is believed there will be a
conflict.
The Germans may be requested by
the authorities of France to occupy the
city until anarchy and riot are subdued
and respect to law insured. The gov
eminent of which Theirs is at the head
is resolved to maintain its authority
and do its best to restore order. There
Il is reason to believe it is the intention
/ of the French government to disbano
the whole imperial army Immediately
after they are released from captivity
in Germany, and organize a new and
gigantic system of national defence
The old army will be swept away with
unsparing completeness, and the pro-
longed occupation of Paris by the Ger
man garrison may be an actual necess1
ty of these wholesale measures for the
regeneration of France. The first in
stallment of the indemnity will bt
twenty million pounds, and on pay
ment of second like amount, the eVac'
uation of the seine inferior will i'm
mediately take place. A treaty of com
merce between France and Prussia, Oh
terms accorded by most favored ma
tons, is one of the stipulations of the
treaty of peace.
NEW York, Feb. 1.-Foreign advicel
say it is estimated that in the recen
French election out of the whole quail
fed population of France, not above ;
third of SO many have taken the trouble
to express their opinion upon the mos
important question which a nation wa
ever called upon to decide. 1t is sale
100000 electors of whom tire fourth
would have voted in the moderate senst
left Paris without waiting to record
their votes.
The Journal de Bruenelles pronounce
the proclamation of Napoleon III, re
Gently published, to be spurious.
NEW York, Feb. 1.-The steamel
Parthia arrived in Boston Sunday, an(
brought three more released Fenians
VIM. Lamosney, Mortimer O'Moriarty
and Michael Sheehy. They seem desir
GUS that no excitement shall be occas
Toned by their arrival. Lomosney wa
sentenced to II years penal servitude
Morarity to 10 years and Sheehy to q
years. They refused to accept their dis.
charge on any condition, and were sem
to Liverpool, where after being placed
on board the steamer, their pardons
together with shilling for each were
thrown after them. The released pris.
oners would not take these pardons
They consider that they have received
their release Internationally, and
| Lomosnev intends to test the case by
going to Halifax.
The store ship "Supply" completes
the loading of her cargo of provisions
at noon to-day, and will sail tomorrow
for Havre. The relief Com. will send
another ship about the 18th to load with
provisions now collecting. The sloop
of war Saratoga" will probably be
placed at the disposal of the Com. The
frigate Worcester sails to-day for Havre
from Boston. More than 5000 barrels
of -four will be sent by national vessels
besides a quantity dispatched on mer-
chant ships. The next vessels are to
carry grain, if the farmers of the coun-
try promptly respond to the appeal
made upon their benevolent feelings
Grain is more needed, if anything, than
flour.
