PARIS, Nov. 30.-The relatives of
Baron Reinach, while opposing the dis
turbance of his body will, it is said, not
offer any vexatious resistance to the
authorities should an autopsy be deter

which it has sought to resuscitate the
scheme with reference to the reported
prolongation of the period of the COM

stiIl Angry Toward De Lessups.
Notwithstanding the sympathy of
many with NJ De Lessups. public opinion
throughout France is in favor of the
action of the government against NJ De

enterprise Even those who do not doubt
his good faith or honesty, say that he
carried his optimism too far and
