irom the Count in regard to the misstate
ments and erroneous views generally spread
! abroad concerning his conflict with Prince
BiA- marck for, to use the language Of Hol-
zendor.', there are few men at this moment so
thoroughly misunderstood as Won Arnim.
nIEo.ED NrR1auEs IN FRANCE.
One Of the charges made against him is
that he endeavoredto hasten the fall Of NJ.
Theirs in France and,opposed the Bonapart-
lists, while at the same time he exerted his
utmost influence in favor Of the legitimists.
In relation to this the Count said:-
DID NOT OPPOSE THE REPUBLIC.
''There is not the slightest proof that I op-
posed the French Republic. never contrib
uted one iota toward the fall of NJ. Theirs.
What said was, that knew he must eventu-
ally succumb. knew M. Theirs was an OBJ
stinate little man, and I stated what fore
saw as the inevitable result of his obstinacy;
But never lent my assistance to hasten that
end
Suppose we take the case of dying man.
The doctors do not attempt to kill him, but,
on the contrary, generally proffer such ad-
vice as tends to sustain life. That makes a
great difference" continued the Count.
UNTAIRNEss OF THE COURT.
"Now, only part of my letters respecting
France has been published by the Court
which is certainly unfair, and allows the
world to pass Judgment on me from this par
tial publication. But the entire correspond
ence should be known before the final SEN
tence Of public opinion is passed. Moreover,
you know that the Court made no difference
between my secret correspondence with Bis
marck and the special instructions given me.
THE FRENCH INDEMNITY
''In regard to France and the indemnity
question, it should have been perfectly clear
that the French government would pay.
FAITH m FRENCH HONESTY.
Anyhow" continued the Count, speaking
of the charges of his intrigues against Bis
marck's plane, 81 always held the view that
the Germany money was perfectly safe that
the instalments would be forthcoming at the
proper dates; in a word, that the payment of
the indemnity did not depend upon the char
acter of the government.
,a NEVER OPPOSED BIsMARcK's PLANS.
II may say that this charge of intriguing
against the Prince Chancellor is one of the
most infamous legends ever spread abroad.
There is not one word Of truth in it would
scorn the idea Of lending myself to anything
of such nature. / cannot understand why
people should believe such utter nonsense
MISLEADING THE PRESS
''The entire German press has been led into
this erroneous belief, which has probably
emanated from Prince Bismarck himself, as
he has a great propensity Of distrusting all
and everything not subject to his complete
control. Be assured there is not the slightest
foundation for this rumor. But fear it will
be thankless task to attempt to deny these
stories, which, to all appearance, have been
accepted as Gospel truth
HERR HoIsrEM REFuTED.
Count Arnim most solernnly denied the
hoor l,k kI~k
slippery, mysterious individual Herr Hol-
stein, one of the Chancellor's satraps, who,
while eating at his (the Count's) table, wrote
slanderous letters to Berlin, reporting gossip
and scandal, relating to the pretended ire
CALL" Said the Count
II have documents in my possession which
show that to be simply impossible, while
they show at the same time how preposterous
was Herr Holstein's statement Such gossip,
however laid the foundation for numerous
threats that subsequently reached me-"
BULow's UNcoURTEoUs LETTERS.
GAS to my publishing State documents, or at
least the assumption to this effect, great mis-
takes have been made. Had Won BHlow
written differently or been as courteous as the
President Of the Criminal Court he would
have obtained all he wanted from me in

HIS RELATIONS WITH BISMARCK.
Count Arnim then explained that while
he blamed the German press to great ex-
tent, he also blamed himself for not sending
in his resignation after the receipt Of Prince
Bismarck's letters of an uncourteous nature.
"But," said he, Bismarck and myself
