The London Times publishes an inter.
view its Paris correspondent had with
Prince Hohenlohe, the German ambassador
to France, respecting the recent elections
for members Of the chamber of deputies.
Prince Hohenlohe said: In my opinion,
the only possible way, under the circum-
stances, to form stable government is by
a union Of the two Republican sections OF
the chamber, as | am afraid the radical
Left minority will not defer to the desires
OF the moderate Left majority regarding
governmental measures. Europe has
hitherto been ena bled to live good terms
with the French republic, but the republic
OF tomorrow may differ from the republic
ofyesterday. Ifthc Conservatives use their
comparative victory solely in the interest
OF the country they may easily contribute
toward maintaining or even improving the
relations OF France with the rest OF Europe.
If, however, they should use their increased
forces to disturb the situation, and call in
to question the established order of things,
France would enter into a period OF
troubles and agitations, and would re-
quire the closest watching by foreign states
men. Every oscillation in France at the
present time makes sensible difference in
the political calculations which now occupy
the attention OF Europe.
