Paris. Nov. 16.-As time goes on and
the senatorial examining committee
probes its work deeper. more and more
of the incriminated men are dropped
from the list of conspirators, and the
charges against NM. Deroulede and
and Habert have been modified from an
outrage against the state to plotting
conspiracy. This may lead to a
charge of venue and send the case be-
fore the assizes Upon the new wording
of the accusation. At all events the
whole matter. novel and solemn as it
may be in point of law and utterly
without precedent in this country, does
not, as yet. excite any interest among
the greater part of the people, not
even the educated portion, except
where there is a personal concern, or
friendly relations with one or the other
of the accused men. The average read
er glances over the columns of his
newspaper with Indifference, and looks
for metal more attractive. That they
find, and heated to a good, red-hot,
even white. temperature in the ac-
counts and comments on the war in the
Transvaal
The press seems to revel in the abuse
it can pour on England. The national
ist and anti-semite organs feel as if
they had an opportunity to pay back
what they consider the insults ex-
pressed in the English criticisms on
the verdict of Rennes. Even the 9TH
ers find daily reasons for denouncing
the war and Mr.. Chamberlain's policy,
accusing England of greed, showing up
the cruelty and rapacity of the two
AnglO-Saxon nations, the pretended
leaders of civilization by colonization.
They are called sanctimonious, psalm
singing hypocrites, and Mr.. Mckinley
is set down, or held up, for execratfon
as Mr.. Chamberlain's fellow"
Neither of these gentlemen is spared in
the handling they receive, and to COM
pare one thing with another it is very
much on level with the recent boxing
match between fists and feet. that took
place in a Partisan riding school be-
tween professors of the noble art of
self defense as practiced respectively
in France and England.
The climax of personal abuse, how
ever, seems to have been reached in NJ
Paul de Casa gnac's article in the
Buonapartist organ, L'Autorite, and
one is led to wonder how the ex-Em-
press Eugene and the two princes, her
nephews, the imperial pretenders now
visiting her, look upon this attack on
the aged queen, who is the exiled
lady's friend. Heaven save us from
our friends or political partisans, when
they foam in print, Here are a few of
NJ. de Cassagnac's modest remarks:
For that queen of crocodiles, all it
amounts to is shedding tears, because
she is afraid that the victory will be
too dearly bought. She sees neither her

for nothing, The good lady is touched,
because, forsooth, the spoilation of
country, the determination of a heroic

English blood. = And that excel
lent Victoria, without a shadow of re-
morse, her conscience at rest, her eye
dry. will come back to us one of these
days and go to the Azure Shores (the
Riveria) to digest the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State in perfect ease"
COrnely tries to be just, and explain
that the queen has no governing
power, a difficult thing to those who,
by their education, always conceive
royalty a la Louis Quatorze! What is
the use of being a king. if you cannot
rule? If you do not incorporate the
states The full current of opinion
goes to prove the hereditary animosity
of the two nations. So far 1 have
