to be present at the christening OF the
newborn son OF his brother, Prince Henry

made at the latter nice little speech,
in which he alluded to NJ Hanotaux. the
French minister of foreign affairs, as his
dear colleague" and then came away
Nobody here regards the meeting of Count
Murayieff with President Faure and NJ
HanotauX in Paris as having any particular
Significance, but, in any event, the en-
peror and Prince Hohenlohe will have the
last word with him.
Just now political and social circles in
Berlin abound with ScandaIouS rumors in
volving, among other names, those of Gen
Bronsart Won Schellendorf, formerly minis
