FRANCE ResENIs 1T.
The speech of Monson Has stirred Their
Anger.

Anger.
New York, Dec. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: Referring TO
Sir Edmund j.. Monson's speech be-
fore h British chamber OF commerce,
the Liberte says
to charge M Paul Cambon, who leaves
to-day to TAXI possession of his post in
London, to ask h Marquis OF Sails
bury IL IL Is by his order that the
British ambassador In Paris thinks
himself authorized, not only to repre-
SEN the British foreign ONCE. but also
to direct our foreign policy?"
GIL Bias says:
The menacing tone Of the speech
will be noticed. We certainly do not
wish To envenom the quarrel which Sir
Edmund Monson appears to seek. still.
perhaps we may be permitted to OBJ
serve that this one does not coincide
with his diplomatic charge. His mis-
sion Is a conciliatory one. Very well,
but the British ambassador has out
stepped considerably the rights he en-
joys among us. He is the representa-
tive of a friendly nation. We count
upon. NJ. Del Casse's firmness that the
entire harangue of Queen Victoria's en-
Voy receive the only sanction IL mer-
its-that is to say the Intervention of
London-so that in the future Sir Ed
nun Monson win employ more meas
ured language in France. II is true
that its role is trying to embroil France
with America"
The Petit Journal remarks:
while Sir Edmund was in this ex-
pansive mood ne might have told us
he thought OF the real probable
ity Of a nation, which, after having
solemnly promised several times to va
cate a certain country, establishes
herself there without ceremony. thus
depriving another nation of it's secular
rights which are enhanced by a gigan-
tic undertaking. and also what he
thinks of a nation which. after having
boosted alphabetically of its liberalism
and humanitarianism. c%ynically trusts
to the right of might. England in
Egypt. America in the Philippines.
Thus both receive a ~treacherous back
handler"
The Temps SAYS:
England breaches the policy of the
open door and then wants to shut it
in the face OF a French school for the
Soudan."
The Debats says:
"Sir Edmund Monson's allusion to the
pin-prick policy disturbing 1t. hints
hat whenever England encounters
other interests she declares she feels
the pin pricks. and generally replies
with h blow OF a b~ludgeon."
At the same time the Debats dis
vow any governmental support of the
proposition to create French schools at
Fashoda or khartoum. w have bet
ter use for our resources"
The Jour says:
France will never forget that these
words, strange from many points Of
view. were uttered in Paris by the am
bassador of a power with whom we are
at peace. by a man whose duty IL is to
try and smooth away difficulties. in
stead OF throwing oil upon the fire"
The Patrie says:
1T is impossible to convey a more
comminatory warning in a more often
sive form. Sir Edmund Monson. the
British ambassador. dares in Paris it
self to threaten us with the wrath OF
his countrymen. This language recalls
that used by Mr.. McKinley's mouth
pieces last year toward Spain. Doubt
less Sir Edmund has been allured by
the procedure of the new American
diplOmacy,"
