FRANCE IN PERIL.
Her Enemies Everywhere
Active.
SPEAKS THE COUNT OF PARIS.
The New President of the Senate Will
Support Carnot, and His Aid Is
Needed.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS, March 2S.-Challemsl Lacour, the
newly elected President of the Senate in
place Of Ferry, took The chair to-day as pre-
siding officer. There was a large attend
ance. and the Introductory address was lis
tened to with great interest. he said, in
part: France must ever find In the Senate
the surest safeguards against the agtations
renewed from time to time by parties hoping
20 turn them to their advantage. The Sen
ate. mindful OF the movements that are now
occurring in the economic and moral con-
ditons of society, ought to support he Gov
eminent IN dealing with those conditions"
This outspOken advocacy of the Govern
ment was not unexpected, in view of the
support given by the supporters of Presi-
dent CarnOt to Cha!lemel Lacour's can
! didaey.
In the Chamber of Deputies Admiral
Reunier, Minister of Marine. stated that
5000 troops were still required TO maintain
and enforce French authority in Dahomey.
The army In Dahomey was excellent, but
there could be no permanent security for
the French in that country until the ex-
King had been entirely vaDquished. 1t is
expected that the enemies OF the republic
will make an effort to turn this demand for
Dahomey into a weapon with which also to
assail President Carnot.
In fact, the foes OF the republic are every
where now becoming more active.
The Count of Paris has sent circular let
Ter to the monarchist committees throughout
France. In it he says Substantially:
"The present movement is most critical.
The Chamber has lost credit throughout the
country. The Government has no courage
10 act against the socialists. 1t is power
less at home and devoid of authority abroad.
The time has come for all right-minded men
TO unite in supreme effort TO restore the
honor Of France. The mOnarchists must
not repudlate any political alliance required
by the interests of the nation and for the de-
Tense of religious liberty, but at the same
time they must let France understand that
monarchy along can give her a strong, stable
| government, whose sole object would be the
| public welfare. My son seconds me in try
| ing to realize this object. We shall spare no
effort to place France upon firmer founda-
| lions"

interest in clearing up certain matters con-
nected with the late state trials, which
resulted in Mr.. Ashford's departure from
Hawaii:

''First-What was the effect produced by
the commission in the United States? Give
yo1r reasons.
'Second-What impression did the Ha-
waiian situation have upon you Oh your

"Third-What will be the probable result
OF annexation on Hawaiian 10 terests?
Though there is an interdependency In

the above. better results may be arrived at
by answering each as an independent
question.

lean tradition-the Monroe doctrine. But
as to just what this doctrine is there are ex-
Ieme differences of opinion. While many
contend that 1t meant American resistance
to the interference of European nations in
the affairs OF the weaker American nations
(as 1t undoubtedly did mean in the mind of
its promoter), large proportion, perhaps a
large majority, of Americans have per-
verted the doctrine into a policy Of nom
interference by the United States them

claim, under this version of the Monroe
doctrine, the right 20 annex, have thus far
