through the Foreign OGice alarming
accounts of the position of ex-Empress

bring her away, and wired his sister to leave

When he joined the Queen at Portsmouth,
her Majesty was greatly excited, and was
heard to say to him: "What do you say {;

The Prince replied in low tone but the
Queen was visibly enraged and repeated
that it was impossible that any insult could
be offered her daughter in Paris. She
blamed the Prince for his injudicious course,
and threatened to countermand his tele-
gram. He protested earnestly, and finally,
the Queen giving in,' he sent another cipher
telegram to cx-Empress Frederick, express
ing his own and the Queen's wishes.
