LONDON. September l5.-Thc Comtc

aud what he had to say regarding his

Il am entirely Indifferent 10 what the
newspapers may say Of me cor whether
it be in the form of condemnation on
adulation. Either is equally di>taSte-
full. You can say this as coming
from me-that can consider myself
justified in using any means that may
bc I'm my power or / can command
TO brake mp the Republic. It is am
unnatural form OF Government.

Sition is that of % leading monarchy.

nation is not dependent on the oiiic"

ones out. The Republic has treated me-
with disrcspcct IL can ask no more than

not see why the French press or amy
other press should make 10 "a subject of
comment.
General BOulIugcr was seen later and
at first he seemed reluctant to speak
upon any subject. least of all that
touching the recent unpleasant dis
closures. Finally. the General, rNi-
IDENTIFY annoyed Zoo his mind by thr incl
dents of the past fortnight. very warmly
said. IL don't consider 10 any rclaNa-
tion Of dignity % admit my chagrin az
the periidy and utter want oi honor dis
played by those who have been proud
heretofore tocall themselves my follow
ers. Despite these descrtious from me-,
my star is as bright as IL ever has been,

are morally capable OF playing the
traitor. and might do s0 at % tim" when

Notwithstanding these brave word,
OF General BouIaugcr', 10 is thought by
the public that his hopes for future
are blasted. His only reliance for
some time has been war between
France and some other power. when hr

The most astonishing language, how
ever. is used by NJ Mcrmicux, the Par
isiau journalist. who. when seen at the
Office Of the Fig0r0. said.

Ny opinion Of BouIauger is that hc is
fraud. and the Comtc de- Paris was using
him merely as catspaw for the throne.
