the Rfpublique FraReaise. Poor great Gambeta COM
mitted the final blunder in bringing prenaturely
the national question to head. Revolt was
fomented by France in order TO crush
all onnosition 10 the control OF the
European officials NJ. Ferry responded:
"What you say is perfectly true. Our action IN
1ssI.'s2 was premature. The situation we created
was born before its time. 1t has become, alasl
source of embarrassment to everybody and to Glad
stone more than to anybody else. cannot help
seeing that, and have the frankness to own it,"
We then conversed about Tunis. Measures are
being taken to provide that State with French
administration. NJ. Ferry is of opinion that all
French money sunk in it, whether by the Govern
ment of the Republic OF by private individuals will
return large profit He did not
anticipate opposition from any of the
great Powers save one, and she would not think 1t
expedient to openly stand IN the way of France.
On home affairs the Prime Minister took an on
timst view. France he said, liked 10 feel that she
was governed, and ne and his colleagues were very
active in giving satisfaction TO this desire. They

which the Anarchical movement had been kept un-

about her. But be thought it would be lmpoltlc 70

NJ Ferry denied TO me that he was trying to
eject Thibaudin. the War Minister, from the
Cabinet, There bad certainly been dissens la
at the Ministerial Council about
Gallifet Inspector General and Grand Master
of Cavalry. BillJt had prepared this instru-
ment three days before he retired from once,
and Thbaudm bad signed it on March %. d.
Ferry regretted that public feeling was so hostile
tc the cavalry general in question because he was
military distinction. Such man was valuable 70
France in the present situation Of Europe. Gallifet
was no carpet knight He was Injured to hardship,
daring and, though daredevil, also an extremely
clever man, and one who, in making dash. knew
what he was about. 49,.
What had been decided between the Prime Minis
lister and General Tbibaudin was TO allow Ten-
eral Gallifet TO be Grand Master OF cavalry wnue
the next autumn maneuvIes were gong on, oub
only then. Nor was he TO maneuyre along the
Eastern frontier. but between fontaneDleau'
Orleans and ChartTes.
