Suggestive and Pertinent
Condolences.
President Faure in Role of
Royal Entertainer.
He Will Have the Pleasure of Riding
Beside the Emperor.

true. the constitutional Qneen Victoria,
completes her Goth year on the throne
and the longest reign of amp British mon
arch, or of any other monarch save Louis
XIV, who, however, inherited the crown
OF France at the age Of four.
The date that comedies with the land
ing In Fra nee of Nicholas and Alexandra
is tne 107th anniversary of the march of
the.market women of Paris on the palace
OF Versailles to bring back the King,
Queen and their children hostages of the
revolution. Their capture was effected
next day, October 8, 1889. on the annivsr-
sary OF which the Gar enters Paris for
the first time and with that spectacular
show which the French are so skilled In
arranging. The blind worms now in
power here are doing what they can to
divest the date, which is so far as nj.
Hanotaux and Prince Lobanoff (who
sketched the ceremoniaD were concerned,
OF its true significance. The severe les
son that II should incu,cate is being
hidden away. Despotic monnrchs are,
humanity speaking, assured OF impunity.
The Power that shapes the ends Of ne
tions as Of individ ual men and women
catches up such potentates In their pos
terity and often tho seemingly innocent
are made to pay for the guilty, as in the
case OF Louis XVI and Mari Antoinette.
This lesson should at the present time,
when, with the tacit completely OF
France and Russia, Armenians are being
massacred and exiled in tens of thou
sands. come home with awesome force to
the minds of Nicholas and Alexandra
and make them tremble for themselves
and for their infant daughter, the dar-
ling of their hearts.
The Car and Czarina will not be
escorted TO France by Russian warships.
The French governm ent was most
anxious that they should do 30 and give
an object lesson in the roads OF Cher
bourg of the naval strength of France
and Russia united. But Nicholas was
t)o much the gentleman to lend himself
to that game of brag, which oubtless
would have been most gratifying to tho
President, who wants to figure in the
eyes OF Europe as the Sea King and head
OF the French army.
nj. Faure hiss, however, been able to
secure the presence of the Car, in COM
pany with himself, at review of 10000
soldiers at the camp OF Chalons. lie

les of Versailles, and on the other to re-
vive the military glories Of the Empire

to say, "Prussia and the Germanic Confed-
GRAFTON Ia respect" M. Faure's depart
ure at the grand west-of- France manoeu-
vsrs OF last week prepared France to see
him on horseback along with the Gar.
The example set by Csrnot and Cassimir
Perier was thought to have bound him
TO appear in carriage drawn by six
andsrdden by artillerymen acting as pos
tilions. The Gar would mot have oh
jectod TO ride in q carriage with the
President. The difficulty would have
been what 70 do with the Czarina, who
is completely identified with the life OF
her husband.
M. Fauro will have the intense Joy of
acting as host to the Imperial visitors ali
the way from Cherbourg to Paris. and ou
giving them more than the eight hours of
his company and conversation that they
had agreed to put up with at Cher bong.
The original arrangement was that hsy
should travel in their own train, and he
in bis, a short distance before them. He
is to meet them at Cberbourg without
M idame Faure, and Is also TO meet them
unaccompanied by the ladies Of his fam
lily at the Palace Of Versailles the day

tional nor international rank and the pres-
envy he Is constantly arousing, have made
IL impossible for the Empress to ignore
n black page OF the good lsdy's family
history. About q fortnight ago they re-
turned to the charge and published the
sentence by default passed on Mr.. Beilnot
her father "a lawyer by profcssion), with
the contract OF marriage OF his daughter
and a journeyman tanner, who IL now
President OF the republic The first docu-
ment recorded twenty years of penal SER
vice on Bellnot, who had 6ed to Spain,
then out OF the reach OF extraditioD,
for robbing a client by forged paper; the
Second showed that M. Felix Faure got
as a dowry 100000 francs out OF the assets
Bcllnot left In dying. This exposure was
mean and spiteful. Bat the court OF
Russia bad to take IL into account. The
Empress. accordingly, Is not to associate
with Madame Faure in public.Sho Is only
TO see her when she calls at the ElJsee
and dimes there.
Great efforts are being made here 10
GET the fiat altered and TO bring ou, the

at the frsncais and Opera House. They
have arranged TO GO ~ themselves to

thither has central pavement of cobble
