Cable-Special to THE BEE The Herald
correspondent interviewed Max ORell, yes
terday. In tho course of the conversation
he said:
~ don't believe in Boulanger. He is
merely a tool; his support depends upon the
conservatives and communists, two powerful
elements which will undoubtedly assert
themselves in the fall elections. But what
of that! 1t will not he Boulanger's triumph,
but the combined triumph of men who be
neve either in the government of a single
man, or of q committee of men. And neither
Of the elements would tolerate the govern
ment of Boulanger. France is approaching
one of her historical crises, which occur at
intervals, but the new master will rot
be Boulanger. The communists may tri-
umph for a time, then will follow Caesar,
but he will not be Bouanger.
''The Comto de Paris is the man, even If he
has TO wait ten or twenty years.
"Rochefort's hatred to England is based
upon the failure of the English edition Of La
Lanterne, which was started during his
exile after the late war. An English lady of
the highest circles said that Boulanger will
never move in the best English society," and
as an example says that Randolph Churchill
was invited TO meet him at a dinner, but re-
fused the invitation.
''As 10 Franco German war, France will
not take the initiative. Her millions of peas.
ants know too well what war means The
real danger lies in the excitable and erratic
character of the German emperor, whose
violent nature is apt at any moment to make
Europe burst into war. France is far
tb,p &c,
posed; her strength is particularly in her
great artillery, Certainly no nation has her
command of financial resources"
Referring TO his recent book on America
O'Rell expressed great dissatisfaction with
the conduct of the New York Worldsin an
tclpating its publication.
''There is something decidedly shady in
the so-called journalistic feat of the World
which has been taking to itself an immense
amount Of credit for doing something which
a dozen other newspapers might have done,
had they been willing to stoop to that sort of
thing. 1t is customary for publishers to
furnish the press with advance sheets of
Forthcoming works, and there is unwritten
law to the effect that only brief selections
from these sheets shall be used. In their
published review the World people, however,
saw fit to break the law and published every
thing they could lay hands on.
''There may be a question whether this
was very honorable thing, | have no rea-
son to complain of the sales of my book,
which amount, so far, to $1,000 volumes at
Sl50 each. / expect to return to the United
States next January, when | shall visit the
great west, possibly with view Of writing
another book. lam always treated so kindly
in America that it will give me great pleas
ure to go back this summer. / am thinking
of travelling with my family on the conti-
nent and, of course, shall visit the cXposi-
tion, although do not enjoy life in Paris at
such times. My headquarters will probably
be in Germany"
A number of members of parliament will
entertain John Sherman on his return to
London from Paris; Sir Lyon Playfair will
preside.
