Anglo-PeFsfan Affairs - Beac0nsfield
 Asked to Explain Certain Rum0rs.
 LONDON, Feb. 10.-In the House of Lords tonight Lord Granville, leader of the opposi- tion, arose to put to Her Majesty's Govern ment what he said was a very grave and ssri- ous question, to which he hoped to receive 6 full and candid reply. The question, he said, was based upon rumors now in circulation to the effect that Her Majesty's Government had abrogated that portion of the Anglo-Persian treaty which bound Persia to take no steps to-. ward the conquest of Herat, and thus had vir- tually invited Persia to avail herself of the present disturbed condition of affairs in Af- ghanistan and to possess herself of this key to the country. His lordship asked the noble earl at the head of the Government to state whether these reports were true. Earl Beaconsield in replying manifested 8 real or affected hesi- tancy. He declared emphatically, however, that there was no foundation for the rumors as Lord Granville had stated them. Persia
 had made communication referring to the

Death of 8 Prominent Statesman.
 PARIS, Feb. 1o.-M. Isaac Adolphe Gre mieux died to-day. M. Oremieux, whose long life has been so largely of public character, was born at Nismes, France, April 30, 1796. During the reign of Louis Philippe he was for several years a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and invariably sided with the re- form party and voted with them against Nj. Guizot. His ideas of the purity of legislation and of civil service were Illustrated by his ad- vocacy of the policy of excluding from the chamber all paid functionaries with the sole exception of members of the existing ministry. In commercial matters M. Ore mieux was staunch friend of free trade in it's most comprehensive form. When the game law, which was originated in ths Cham Der of Peers, was discussed in the Chamber of Deputies, ne distinguished himself by op- posing it vigorously, but was unable to over come the influence brought to bear in it's favor by the ministry. On the memorable occasion when Count Duchatel made his declaration that no reform would be granted and that the Government had resolved to put down all re- form banquets, M. Cremieux exclaimed, 'sThere is blood in this!" On the Thursday of their flight from Paris he encountered Louis Philippe and his Queen in the Place de Ia Concorde and urgently recommended them to ensure their safety by departing at once, no hope for them being left, and immediately proceeded to the Chamber of Deputies, where he advocated the formation of 8 provisional government and was created Minister of Justice. He was one of the au- thors of the Code des Codes," which was published in 1884. After the coup detGt he was arrested and taken to Mazas. At this pe- riod he retired from political life and devoted himself to the practice of his profession as 8 lawyer, but in the early part of the year 1869, when new laws were passed respecting the right of public meeting, he emerged from his retirement and played an active role at various literary and political conventions at Paris. In the same year he attempted to enter the Corps Lagislatif, but was defeated by the off, cial candidate. Under the government of the national defenders, which was established in 1870, he was nominated Minister of Justice, and was one of the ministers comprising the Government delegation at Tours and subse- quently at Bordeaux. On February 14th, 1871, he resigned his office as Minister and was elected Senator for life by the national assembly on December 18th, 1875. Since that time, despite his years and failing health, he has taken an active part in the legislation of the republic, and has generally voted with the left or left centre. His funeral, which takes place tomorrow, will be attended not only by his fellow Senators and former col leagues in the Assembly, but by number of wealthy and distinguished citizens of the capital, by whom the deceased was held in high esteem.
