EFFECT OF THE NEWS ON THE EMPRESS.
LONDON. June 2I.- Empress Eugene
swooned when she henrd of her sons death,
and remained insensible a long time. She
rallied somewhat in the afternoon, but was
unable to see anybody. Many distinguished
visitors called, and many kilograms of con-
defence were received from all parts OF the
world.
THE EFFECT IN PARIS.
PARIS, June 21.-The news of the death of
the prince imperial was not published IN the
morning papers, and II was late In the after
noon before it was generally known. 1t made
a great sensation, and among the Bonapart-
lists it created dismay. Prince Victor, who
by the political testament succeeds to the
titles, is now student at Lycee Charlie
magne. Even if he is willing to agree to his
fathers exclusion, it is questionable whether
the deceased had power, on Bonapartist prln-
ciples, to make such a change. Ihere Will
also be difficulty on the part of the leading
Bonapartlsts to confer and guide the actions
of the young prince without the consent OF
his parents Nevertheless, 1t Is evident that
the leaders intend to maintain the party or
ganization. Last night at full sitting OF
the Bonapartist senators and deputies, res
olution was adopted declaring that though
the prince imperial is dead, his cause sur
wives and the succession of the Napoleons
had not lapsed. and that the empire will live.
An address of coincidence with the Ex-Em-
press Eugene was drafted, expressing the
deepest sympathy.
Paul De Cassagnac declares that though
Prince Victor is the heir of the imperialst
claims, the loss of the prince imperial pros
trates him mentally and physically.
THE FRENCH PRESS.
The O,.dre (Rouher's organ) makes no po-
litical allusion to the death OF the prince. 1t
simply expresses the overwhelming sense OF
the blow inflicted on the ex-empress and
France.
Granier De Cassagnac, in the Pays, says:
"The blow is terrible for the lmperiallsts, but
it is not mortal" He is confident that the
selection Of Prince Victor will be Endorsed by
France.
The legitimist organs, the Union, Uni
GERS, Gazette de France, Monde and the
Francais, express sorrow for the dead and
respectful sympathy for the bereaved.
The Journal DIES Dsbats says: I'm view OF
30 tragical an end we remember only that
the prince was Frenchman and has fallen
as a soldier.
The Temps speaks of the prince as the
last incarnation of the imperial idea, and de-
clares that the Nepoleonic system has no
| longer a representative.
La France says: The event IS equal
IN Importance to the death of Comte de
Chambord, whenever that shall occur. :"
l. Opinion Rationale expresses respect
for the grief of the Bonsparte family, but
saws that it cannot refrain from noting the
gravity of the disaster inflicted by Providence
on the enemies of the republic.
