to interfere with the legislation of for
eigu government, and the whole affair na
fizzled out rather ridiculously. The gov
ernments of Austria, Belgium, Italy ant
Holland sent responses to M. Ribot's coin
municatlons, which were generally favor
able in tone, and Germany replied very
obviously to the proposition, making

definite plan. England Immediately an6
decisively declined to have anything to

Germany to refuse to enter the project
With these two powerful nations out oil
it, there was little use in dong anything
further. and Austria and Italy alterward
withdrew, repenting OF their rather hasty
consent. The consequence has been that
NJ. Ribot has altogether abandoned the
idea of offering any combined protest.
