has been made lion of-has been in
terviewsd by Herald reporter and
has leotured. lie talks freely about
himself and .the affairs Of France. The
following is his prediction and his
opinion about AacMahon and the near
future of France:
"MacMahon cannot last three
months; that is certain. He hasn't the
least idea about government and is
simply the most prominent incapable
in France. He doesn't know what to
do with his power, and the incapables
around him use him, poor man. An
Arab driver by nature and education,
what does he know about governing
the French? There is only one thing
to do--eleot new assembly. Eighty
departments will elect Theirs, and
when the new assembly finds that they
will have to make him president.
Still Theirs is old--seventy seven
aud he is conservative. Gambetta has
to come. He is statesman and would
make the reforms that the republicans
