PARIS. Dec. Pain the Chamber OF Deputies
NJ. Millevoye. in commenting on the Bulgarian
affair. expressed regret that diplomatic action
in the matter had been transferred from Sofia
to Constantinople.
NJ. Ribot replied that Bulgaria could not on
her own authority eypel a foreigner nor take
measures to that end without referring to the
Consul Of the country to which the foreigner
belonged. The Bulgarian Government ought
to have made representations to France IL it
had grievances against French subject. The
French agent at Sofia had not failed In his
duty. but had declared his readiness to attend
to commu nications from the Bulgarian Gov
eminent and to transmit them to Paris AL! Of
that the order for the expulsion OF Chsdourne
be cancelled. France was certain to obtain
satisfaction. and the Government would do
what was necessary withoutrashness or weak
M MaiIiefeu held that the affair had been
much exaggerated. Bulgaria aimed at free

atrocities nor acts Of violence.

the charge of outraglng public morals. and
there Is q great demand for admission to

says that the authorities have no right to So
lect him as victim. and that his exhibitions
