DEATH OF DE CHAMBoKD.

Count de Chambord died at ten minutes
past seven O'Clock yesterday morning.
Henri Charles Ferdinand Marie Dieu-
dome d Artois, Due de Bordeaux, was
born in the Tuieries, Paris, September 90,
1920. He was the son of Prince Charles,
Duke de Berri who was assassinated in
March, 1920, and of the Princess of
the two Sicilies, the famous Duchess de
Beri In 1916 he married the oldest
daughter of the Duke of Modena. When
Charles Y. abdicated in favor of his grand
son, the Due de Bordeaux, the people in
sisted upon crowning the Citizen King, y
and the elder BoubOns were ban
ished After the capitulation of
Paris in 1871 the Count returned to
France The Legitimsts were at this
time strong enough to warrant their at
tempting to place upon the throne the last
descendant OF the old B0urbOns, but he
committed political suicide by refusing to
accept the throne under the tri-color, and
lost all rather than sacrifice his fidelity to
the white flag of Navarro. In 1878 a diff
ference between the two branches Of the
royal house was remedied by the acknowh
edgement OF the Count de Paris that Count
de Chambord was the head, and recently
De Chambori designated the Count de Paris
as his successor as head of the royal house
of France and of the Legitimist party.
THE PEACE OF EUROPE.
LONDON. Aug. IS
The Times this morning again comments
on the article against France recently pub
lished in the Berlin North German Gazette,
and which attracted much attention
throughout Europe. 1t says: The Ca
zette's article is gross and deliberate in
suit If it fails TO shock public opinion
in Europe, it is only because we are accus-
toned to hear Germany address France in
| terms wholly unknown to European diplo-
macy To prefer an untenahe charge In
| language calculated to wound and humiliate
| France is an outrage upon decency and
| courtesy. Diplomacy has abundant re-
| sources for conducting controversies without
| resorting to the language'Of vulgar menace
! " The Paris papers give various reasons for
| the article, including the recent unveiling
at Courbevoie of a monument i'll commemo-
ton Of the defense of Paris, the vote for
| fortress artillery, the tour of inspection of
| General Thibaudin, the Fr>ach Minister of
| War, and the completion of forts on the
| eastern frontier.
| The Paris National states the idea of
| mobilizing the French troops has been aban-
| doned.

OUR RAILROAD MANAGEMENT CRITICISED.
The Times OF this morning, in a leader
on the subject of the management of the
American railway system, says that its
character is such that it causes general dis
trust in Europe, weakenS the markets for
American railway securities, and can not
but restrict American enterprise when it
could well be aided by idle English capital.
EGYPT sCoURGE DYING OUT.
ALEXANDRIA. Aug. %.
The cholera is gradually leaving the Del
ia and working its way along the Nile into
| Upper Egypt Thursday only sixty-siX
| dnotbr NUare rapnTfad a nunb InSc haT
than had been expected in this city. This
would Indicate that the fears which have
been general that the infection would eX'
tend to the upper portion of the city are
groundless. The fact that but 200 deaths
were recorded Thursday for the entire in
fected district strongly supports this view
The rigid enforcement of the admirable san
itary regulations of the British authorize:
here has been largely instrumental in allay
ing the violence of the scourge.
