tempt to induce them to consent to the dis
patch OF Pullman car to Paris which has
long been lying at the port Of entry. The rail"
way company declined to take charge OF it
without special permission from the govern

through the streets, even OF night to the Ex-
hibition, without special sanction from the

gave his sanction for the transit through
Paris, but the government had not decided on
the transit through France before the local
concession was lost through mere lapse OF
time. The project had named three days as
the extreme limit Of indulgence; the govern
ment came In on the fourth day. The fifth
was lost in endeavors to persuade the project
to renew his part Of the favor, and when all
was ready the railway company had fresh

nature before it would venture to start the
