counties as possible. They have
at their head, an able an expert
enced leader, one who has al
[most uniformly been successful
lin all his contests and he will
Ficavc no stone unturned to
achieve o victory. He has IN.
domitable energy and persever-
ance and always goes into ?

to win.

ing the inquiry in the case of Prince Ma
poleon, states that sufficient cause is not
shown for further proceeding.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-Eugenie told a
reporter that she had neither seen nor
written to Prince Napoleon, nor attempted
to do so. Had no communication with the
French government, and no hint of her
departure was necessary. She returned to
London, having accomplished the object
of her journey, which was one of family
sympathy with Princess Mathilde.
PARIS, Jan. 25.-The ministers to-day
had another conference with a committee
of the chamber of deputies on bills against
the pretenders, and in reply to various
questions they promised to consider any
decision which the committee may come
to. After the departure of the
ministers the committee adopted
a proposition excluding from
French territory, Algeria and the colonies
all members of families having reigned in
France, depriving them of political rights
as citizens, declaring them ineligible to
any Office, and preventing them from be-
longing to the army. The
resolution of the committee fur
her provides that transgressors
of the proposed law should be amenable
to correction at their tribunals and liable
to one to five years. imprisonment, after
which they shall be again expelled. The
discussion revealed wide Emergencies of
views of the ministry and of the COM
mittee. M. Pronst inquired whether the
ministry would use permissive powers, if
granted. The only answer he elected was
that they would examine the matter.
Fallieres, minister of the in
terror, declared that no danger
existed threatening the republic, although
some troublesome desires existed, but they
had no chance of realization. No conspir-
acy, he thought, considering the general
feeling Of the nation, could become for
midable. The rumor which has gained
currency, that the charge against Prince
Jerome had been dismissed, having been
contradicted, it has been formally an
nounced from Frohsdorf that Count de
Chambord has no idea of issuing mani
festo under the present circumstances.
