The relations between the French
Legislature and the French navy are
considerably strained at the present
moment. The other day, during the dis
cussion of the naval budget, some of
the radical politicians held up to OBJ
loquy Admiral Duperre, the senior Of
ficer of the service, for having, during
the war of 1870, respected his word of
honor not to take any further part in
the conflict, after having been released
on parole, the speakers holding that
considerations of patriotism took pre-
cedence of those of honor. The Minis
ter of Marine thereupon in an impas-
stoned speech intimated to the men,
bers of the Chamber of Deputies that
they were not capable Of understand
ing or approaching the conceptions and
ideas of French officer with regard to
honor and to the value of a plighted
word.

According to the San Francisco
Chronicle the children of the late Jas.
G. Fair are likely to be confronted with
the unpleasant news shortly that their
inheritance has been heavily overall
ued. The truth of the matter is that
the Fair estate has deprecated in value
since the death of the man who made
it. To-day it is not worth over $4,000
600, and if put under the hammer
those converSant with the real condi-
ton of affairs say, it would not bring
$12,OOO,O00, and possibly very little over
$10,000,000. If this is the case, Fair
instead of being the richest of the bo-
nanza kings, died the poorest. Mackay
to-day is worth $40,00O,OOO. James L.
Flood died worth $20,000,000. O'Brien
had nearly as much to leave, while the
man who was the commanding genius
that paved the way to the gigantic
wealth these four amassed, in the end
was outclassed in the race. Should the
trust be knocked out the direct heirs
will receive about $3,500,00O apiece.
