There is no doubt that If the claims of the
sons of King Jerome's American wife can
be set aside. Prince Victor has perfect
right to the title and dignity of Duke OF
MpHfort as tie eldest son.of the only son
of King Jerome by. his second ma rriage with
a Wurtemberg princess. Bat IL may he
questioned whether the title of Duke of
Montfort does not mucir rather belong to
Col. Jerome Bonaparte. of Washington.
The Almanaci de Gotha of the sos and
'IOs. which are the official guide to the
sovereign and princely families of the'Old
world. expressly declare that the first mar
riage of King Jerome to Miss Patterson. OF

The evening times., 1895-11-13

Under the. circumstances 1T is doubtful
whether Prince Victor's assumption of the
dignity will be recognized by the monarch
ical courts of Europe. especially IL any pro-
test is made by the American Bonaparies.
However. the. mere fact that. the prince

this title shows pretty conclusively that he

The Luciens owed their title of prince

They were not French princes, but merely

view in France. and according othe decis-
ion of the French council of state. occupy
precisely the same position as the Ameri-
