the New York Tribune in regard to
the mystery Of General Sam Houston $

put forth n manifesto pronouncing
clearly In favor Of peace. The president
replies that France cannot thus ratify
the conquest Of Alsacs and Lorraine,

part would be null in effect, because
Alsace-Lorraine itself should be asked
whether she desires 10 be German,
French or autonomous. France and
Germany ought TO accept the answer to

dent advises Herr Buehlcr to recon-
mend this curse to Prince Bismarck.
