lhe Greek minister at Constantinople,

Throughout the day there were scenes
OF extraordinary excitement here. The
| general feeling, how ever. is one of satis-
laction at the relief from the Irritating
tension OF the past few weeks.

tempt on the part of the Turks to hold
strategic position near Mount Analip-

The so-called outrage off Preyosa this
morning, when the Turkish batteries
theis sank the Greek steamer Macedonia
further justified Greeos in the minds of
the Athenians in waging war to the
death against Turkey. Ihe Greek row
ernment therefore is warmly commended
for recalling the Greek minister at Con-
stantlnople and not waiting according
10 the Greek version until Prince
Mayrocondato wasShanded hia passports.

morning ana that the Greeks hi We cap
tured fortified position in Macedonia.
According to the general understanding
here the Turkish plan Of campaign is
concentration of the Turks near the i'm
pertant Greek frontier town of Tyrnavos
with view of forcing the mountain
passes Leading toward Larissa.
Enc Greek plan Of campaign so far as
1t is understood by the Atheinns is found
ed on the defence of Larissa in the first
instance, an attack upon tnat place hav-
ing been anticipated and prepared for by
occupying and taking every possible adj
vantage of all strategic points. The
Greeks belief in ultimate success is
based on the expectation of universal
uprising of the Macedonians and Epi-
Iotes as Roon as the Greeks succeed in
winning brilliant victory anyw here
over the Turks.

PRINCE AND Her RETE NlGE.

Does France still cherish the idea OF regain.
Ing Alsace and Lorraine and avcnEing herself
upon Germany for the Terrible Year? Not long
ago to ask the question would have seemed alb
surd, and any journal in Paris which vcntured
TO do SO would have had It's offices wrecked by
an indignant populace. To-day Il is possible 10
discuss the matter without appearing ridicu-
lOus, and important journals In Paris can open
their columns to the expression of opinions pro
and con with entire lmpunity. Lending poti-
clans do not, of course, enter into the discus
sion, but other men of high standing do and
some Of them express opinions that sound nj
most like treason to the Fathorland. On the
whole, however, the sentiment in favor Of the
"revanche' is about as strong as ever
NJ. Camille Saint Saens for example declares
that any man who would shrink from taking w
arms to win back the provinces is unworthy To
be called n Frenchman. NJ Marcel Provost
thinks that for France TO accept the present sit
uatiOn as final would be 10 sign her own death
warrant. NJ. Alfred McZicres SAYS he can never
stoop TO acknowledge Gcrmany's right 10 the
provinces. NJ Albert Vandal thinks that "ap-
peasement as regards tie treaty of Frankfort"
would be more humiliating than Sedan or the
surrender Of Paris. NJ. Henri Toussaye reminds
his countrymen that although Jena had been
paid for at LEIPZIG and Waterloo, Prussia cher
ishcd her desire for revenge until 1t was fully
gratfed in 1870. There are many other cx-
rresslons no less uncompromising than these
On the other hand, there are some from i'm
portant sources, Of quite another tenor NJ
Jules Claretie is polite. He thinks the wound
of France will never be healed. Yet, time
"works wonders. Its influence is not merely
"pacifylng nay, soporfc. The wound hurts
"ess than 1t did" NJ. Henri de Rcgnier goes
much further. and declares roundly that the
question of Alsace and Lorraine is now mere
ly question Of national vanity. NJ. Seignobos
thinks the majority Of the people are opposed
to war with Germany. With this opinion NJ.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1897-12-21

Gustave Larrounet agrees. NJ. Edmond Harn-
court thinks Frenchmen are tired of playing at
soldering NJ. Jussot, in exaggerated end-or-
century manner, says: "Alsace? The Revanche!
The Fatherland? Dear me! Are those things
still extant? They must be very antiquated.
"Is there no room for them on the shelves OF
"the Museum Of Cluny?'
Neither Of these sets of opinions may have
any vital Significance, or ut any rate any po-
tency upon the current of political and diplo'
matte affairs. Yet the fact that the expression
of them publicly In Paris is accompanied by no
outburst OF Chauvnsm, or patriotism, or pro-
test. or any such thing, Is scarcely without It's
significance. 1t Is French saying that he who
excuses accuses, and IT may be variously

ganization Of the party In one united and har-
monlous body, with, Of course, Plat and Quigg
at Its head: one as Master the other as Man.
The purpose Of everything they are doing no

''licans OF every faction into a new enrolment

every thing but one; and that Is the essential
thing to satisfy party sentiment'-to step down
