The Count de Paris Utterances
Fail to Enthuse ROyalists.


PARIS, June 14.-The speech of the
Count of Paris at Richmond on Thurs
day evening praising the action of his
son, the Duke of Orleans, in returning to
France in spite of tine decree of exile
against the Orleans family, and seek
ing to serve his time in the French
army, provokes no feeling here, not
even in government circles. Neither
has it aroused any enthusiasm among
the Royalists. Some of the Royalist
papers of the widest circulation and i'll
tfnence go so far as to say that for the
present, at lessf, all hope of the re-es-
tablishment of the monarchy must be
abandoned. The duty now incum-
bent on the Royalist party, they urge,
is to try and adapt itself to the
republic, to increase its influence in
politics and to gain control of the gov
ornment. The Figaro has recently
published several strong articles in
which it urges this policy upon the
Royalists. Indeed, the newspapers find
in speech delivered the other day by
nj. Constans, minister of the interior, a
disposition to take more favorable
view of the tendencies of the Royalist
party. M. Bursual, the French cleo
trician, hassbeen presented to M. Jules
Roche, minister of commerce. M.
Roche declares that NJ. Bursual is a
rival of Edison, and that he is the real
inventor of the telephone, having dis
covered and applied the principle
twenty years In advance of either
Edison or Bell. M. Roche has instructed
M. Bursual to undertake the improve
ment of the extremely defective tele-
phone service of Paris and the
provinces. The pictures owned by
the late M. Crabbe, Belgian
senator, which were sold in this city
on Thursday, brought unprecedented
prices. Morris K. Jessup and Cor
neliuS Vanderbilt, representing the
New York Metropolitan Museum of
Art; Mr.. Hutchins, president of the
Chicago Art museum; Mr.. William Q.
Whitney. and number of the most
prominent American art dealers were
either present or represented by agents.
The French buyers outbid the Amerl-
cans. Although the sale was the most
important since the sale OF the Secretan
collection, scarcely single canvas is
going to America. The vote in the
chamber of deputies this week in favor
of preserving the famous machinery hall
of the late exposition building will prove
final. This will leave three permanent
buildings, besides the Eiffel tower, as
memorials of the exposition, against
one permanent building left after
the exposition of 197S-the Trocadero
The recent debate in the German reich
stag to the continued eXactlOn OF pass
ports from travellers in Alsace-Lorraine
Shows that no relief from this vexatious
ANNOYANCE to Americans can be eX-
pected. The severity of the rule en-
forced on the frontier has within the
last wear or two more than doubled the
passport business of the American le-
cation here. Americans who have for
a long time been residents abroad and
who are unable to swear to any fixed
intention of returning home within a
reasonable number of years. continue to
find difficulty in getting passports un-
der the instructions issued by Mr.. Bay
ard, when secretary of state, which are
still i'm force. William G. Whitney, ex-
secretary of the American navy, and
his wire left Paris to-day on their return
to New York. Among the guests pres
ent at the banquet given In their honor
by WhitelaW Reid, the American min
lister. last night were Count HoyOr, the
Austrian ambassador to France, and
Countess Hoyor, Count and Countess
Pourtales, ViScOunteSs COurval, and
number of other noted people. Henry
Gardiner, of Niantiac, Conn.,, has been
awarded the highest prize for figure
drawing at the Ecole DIES BeauX Arts.
This is the first time in the history Of
the school that an American has re-
ceiyed this distinction.
