in their behalf. Consequently it occas-
stoned no surprise whenit was announced
that they Lad secured but 400 votes to
$50 for their opponents. The judges at
the election were appointed by Presi-

be paid by the bondsmen of the 1nsolv-

loss, from 81 400 to S., 900. The reason
for this reduction is to be found IN the
fact that out Of all the bondsmen Of the

Criticised by London Editor..

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Sir Edmond Monsons
remarkable speech in Paris last evening has
created a sensation here. Most of the pa
pers regard it as an unfortunate indiscre-
ton. pointing out that the American am
bassadors he referred to. despite their lean
ings to the new diplomacy, would never
have addressed such a warning to Great
Britain. The Times, which is almost alone
in expressing approval of Sir Edmond Mon
sons utterances, goes SO far as to regret
that he did not add to his excellent speech
an explicit restatement of the fact that the
principle Of the Fashoda expedition will
govern Bahr-el-Gazal basin.
The Daily News, which puts the matter
pithily, says: Sir Edmond Monson's speech
was either a great indiscretion or a DELHI
crate move in the diplomatic game. If it
was the former, the situation will become
is already graver than it seems"
There is little doubt that the speech will
be deeply resented in France. especially as
it was evidently carefully prepared and was
read in the delivery.

viewed by the whole body The opinion is
