FRENCH INFLUENCE IN CHINA.
Madagascar-Egypt, Great Britain,
and Russin.

PARIS, March S1-In the Senate to-
day. NJ. Bardoux questioned Premier
Bourgeois in regard to the recent decline
of French influence In China. He also
demanded to know why the final treaty
between France and Madagascar had not
been placed before Parliament, and asked
the government to define its policy in
Egypt.
~ Bourgeois denied that there had been
any loss of French influence in China.
Madagascar, he said, had not been an
riexed by France, but the sovereignty of
the Queen and the foreign relations OF
Madagascar were controlled by France.
In regard to Egypt, NJ. Bourgeois re-
called the recent declaration of NJ. Berthe
lot late Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
negotiations with Great Britain were be-
ing continued. He was unable TO say
more than that Russia was cooperating
with France in regard to Egypt.
NJ Loubet President of the Senate, then
declared the incident closed.

these ills; 1t has been tried by thousands,
and has cured them; 1t will cure you.

Want the Golden-Rod Made the Ma
tionaI Flower.

The Colonial Danes held a called meet
ing yesterday afternoon at No. SlS west
Franklin street. In spite Of the inclem-
ency of the Weather there was large
attendance. It was decided to appoint
a committee, whose duty it shall be to
decorate with appropriate flowers the hall
at the Jefferson, where the Sons of the
American Revolution will hold their an
nual meeting on April 20th.
The question of having the national
flower changed from the pansy to some
other flower more appropriate was dis
cussed at some length, and 1t was the
sense Of the meeting that the golden-rod
would be more suitable for the national
flower. No definite action was taken.
but II was decided that q committee be
appointed by the president to confer with
the members of the Sons of the Revolu-
ton In regard 10 the matter.
Considerable routine business was trans
acted, and the meeting adjourned to meet
again or next Tuesday at o'clock when

tees, etc, etc.

II has official authority TO print the ac-
tual text OF the letter. which is as follows;
II am directed by the Prince of Wales
to thank you for your communication In
forming him OF his election as an honorary
member of the Thirteen Club. l am
directed to reply that the invitations ne
receives from different parts Of the world

cluded from Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 31.-J. w.
States legation, has made a vigorous pro-
test to the Porte against the action OK
the Turkish Governor of Bitlis in order
ing the immediate departure OF Messrs
Cole and Knapp, the American missiona-
ries, from that place. and threatened TO
sever diplomatic relations with the Porte
unless the order was revoked. The pro-
test was endorsed by Sir Philip Currie
the British Ambassador, and the Porte
yielded, and gave orders TO the Governor
of Bitlis to permit Mr. Knapp. ordered
to Constantinople to answer charges or
sedition and murder, to remain at Bills
until the roads are In better condi-
ton for travel. The Governor was
instructed to let Mr.. Cole act as he
pleases, and to perform his missionary
work without hindrance.
1t is regarded here as likely that the
action Of the Governor Of Bitlis was de-
signed to test the American pulse. An
encyclIcal from the Armenian patriarch
was read in all the Armenian churches on
March Goth, announcing the amount or
relief which had been given to the Arme-
MAN sufferers In Asia Minor, and asking
for more funds, at the same time warning
the donors against fraudulent collectors,
who the letter says are going about IN
considerable numbers, ostensibly collect
