FRENCH POLITICAL DESPERATION
The mystery surrounding the revoca,
ton of the decree banishing the Duke
d'Aumale is explained by the Chicag e
Herald" which declares that it is a
blow aimed directly at Boulanger. 1t
was a weapon in Premier Tirard's hands
which he has known how to use at the
right moment, aid possibly with deadly
effect.
The Duke d'Aumale stands toward
Boulanger in the dangerous attitude of
an injured friend. 1t was he who urged
and secured Boulanger's promotion to
the rank Of general. In return for this
favor Boulanger, when Minister of War,
struck the Dukes name off the army roll
and secured his Punishment from France.
To %Boulanger's mind, it wa better to
sacrifice a patron than lose a chance of
securing more popularity.
The Duke d'Aumale is one of the best
and ablest of living Frenchmen. He has
been a soldier of solid achievements. He
is a scholar ripe enough to have attained
a seat in the Academy. His political
views have always been liberal and en-
l~ightened. He is by far the broadest and
most talented of the Orleans princes.
To be sure d'Aumale has shown that he
was not without political ambition. He
earnestly desired to be President of the
republic. 1t is not impossible that he
may have dreamed Of the crown. Yet he
has never been a plotter or an intriguer.
He frankly accepted the republic. He
has always been true to the country. He
not approved the efforts of his
nephew, the Compile de Paris, to stir upI
and by that means open a path
way for his restoration as King. Am
though d'Aumale may be, he NAV
trusted not to betray the republic.
His return after an exit of three years
means that a fresh and powerful foe Of
3oulanger, with a large and intelligent
'ollowing, enters in the arena of French
The Duke is not the man to sit
till while the adyenturer seeks to climb
lis way up. His literary talents, his So
idity of character, his power of speech,
lis wide social connections will be
at the service of those whose pa-
mission it is to balk the schemes
f the would-be dictator. 1t is probable
hat d'Aumale-who is 67-is too old to
ssume the direct responsibilities of
power. But his presence in
france, which was once thought to en-
anger the republic, is now more than

ness is practically suspended and thestreets
are thronged with idlers. The quarrel OF
the boys was assumed by the men, and a
general fight ensued.
The report was that Cinnamon had been
killed by the police. Immediately the en-
ragged mob attacked and burned the police
stations. Broadway was thronged with
30, 900 rioters who moved towards the
United States and British cO~nsulates.
When the situation became alarming 3OO
soldiers from the ~neighboring barracks ap-
peared upon the scene, but their presence

mob.
Undeterred by the soldiers, the gates OF

prevails as to how low copper will 60. The
New York reports show d gradualshrinkage

by everyone. fhequestion 10 how low will

by o reporter to q gentleman OF long ex-
perience in mining matters in the West.
s'How low will 1t Go2-Well, We on the
outside can hardly be asked to give a def
mite answer to such y question. But you
can bet that it won't be allowed to drop
to any ruinous figure. Why? Becauce
Haggin. Lewisohn and other producers
here will take care that it does
not. Do you suppose that the
predicament OF the Syndicate was not
known to them when they held their con.
ferencein New York lately? What conclu
zion they came to was dead eecret. and
the so-cslIed 'rumors' that have been cir
culated as to what took place then are all
guesswork, and idle guesswork at that.
The situation was az plain to them as

real Surplus on hand is. Il is somewh here
about 10000 tons. They know they
have to take care OF this surplus. It is in
the hands OF the financial firms who
advanced money to the Syndicate on it.
It has been hypothecated to them. The
Society OF Metals, otherwise the Syndicate,
has served the purpose OF its projectors
and has come to an end. The surplus is
there. Haggin and the large copper pro-
ducers Of this country have only one

Europe for. When they get there they will
arrange to take this out OF the hands OF

fact substitute themselves for the Syndi-
cate. The surplus will not be allowed to

tail a curtailment OF production at pres

worked of. The mines OF Butte can stand
reduction of price better than any
other in the world owing to the
perfection OF their processes here and the
amount Of silver in the ore. There will be

The accident at the Anaconda necessarily
limits work at their mines until the burned
