TIE Paris correspondent says q ma
4 jority of the BonspsrtIsts is understood
to concur with M. Rouher in acknowl-
edging Prince jerome ,Bonaparte as
chief of the Napoleonic dynasty.
They argue that the will of the late
Prince Imperial, which asks the ex-
Empress Eugene to- co-epertts with
Prince Victor, was written on tue as
sumption that the testator would sur
vive Prince Jerome Bonaparte. This
reasoning however is considered a
transparent excuse for the non-observ-
ance of the Impra6 cability of the will
of the Prince Imperial. M. Rouher's
retirement from active politics is evil
IDENTIFY owing to feeling that he and
Prince Jerome could not act t,gether,
and tie latter could not be set sslde.
What, betwe cen Prince Jerome Bona
parties possible adhesion to the Re-
public and the impossibility of the
clerical section of the B Inapartists
choosing leader without either act
ing against the wishes Of the Prince
Imperial or provoking distrust and a
disavowsl from Prince Victor, the
Bonapartists are IN one Of the most
perplexing positions ever occupied by
any party.
