PARIS, June 2l.-The news Of the
death Of the prince imperial was not
published in the morning papers and
it was late IN the afternoon before it
was generally known. 1t made a great
sensation, and among the Bonapartists
it created dismay. Prince Victor,
who, by political testament succeeds
to the title, is now a student at Lycee
Charlamagne Even if he is willing to
agree to his fathers exclusion, it is
questionable whether the deceased had
the power, on the Bonapartists prin-
ciples, to make such a change. There
will also be some difficulty on the part
Of leading Bonapartists to confer with
and guide che actions of the young
Prince without the consent of his
parents. Nevertheless, it is evident
the leaders intend to maintain a party
organization.
Last night at a full sitting of the
Bonapartist senators and deputies a
resolution was adopted declaring that
though the prince imperial is dead
his cause survives, and the succession
of Napoleons had not lapsed, and that
the empire will live. An address of
coincidence with ex-Empress Eugene
was drafted expressing the deepest
sympathy.
The Ordre, Rouhr's organ, makes
no political allusion to the death of
the prince. 1t simply expresses an
overwhelming sense of the blow in
fiicted on an ex- empress of France.
Paul de Cassagnac declares that
though Prince Victor is heir of the
lmperialist claims, the loss of the
prince imperial prostrates him ment-
ally and physically,
Granier de Cassagnac, in the Pays,
says "The blow is terrible for the
Imperialists, but it is not mortal.
lie is confident the selection of Prince
Victor will be indorsed by France.
The Legitimist organs, La Union,
Univers, Gazette de France, Monde
and Francais, express sorrow for the
dead and sympathy for the bereayed.
The Journal des Debats says: In
view of SO tragical an end, we remem-
Der only that the prince was French
man and has fallen as a soldier"
The Temps speaks of the prince
as the last incarnation of the imperial
idea and declares that the Napoleonic
system has no longer representative.
LA France says THE event is
equal in Importance to the death of
Comte de Chambord, whenever that
sail occur"
The L'0pinion Rationale expresses
respect for the grief Of the Bonaparte
family, but says that it cannot refrain
from noting the gravity of the disaster
inflicted by Providence on the enc
mics Of the Republic,
BERLIN, June 2l.-The news of the
death of the prince imperial has
caused a profound sensation here all
the newspapers express deep sympa-
thy. The conservative organ, the Post,
which fairly represents the general
feeling, says: " We never had any
sympathy for the dynasty which work
ed our fatherland such grievous woe,
but in view of the frightful fate which
has overtaken its descendant, such
antipathies must be left out of account
Human feeling will have its way
