Paris, Feb. 17.-Everything is very
quiet in Paris tonight. There is no dan
ger of a coup d'etat. The favorite can
didate for the presidency is M. Emile
Loubet, now president of the senate.
Still, the ministers whom 1 saw today
think Faure's death is a misfortune at
the present juncture, and this is the
conventional talk. They had all looked
forward to his having soon to resign
and they spoke today of the possible
effect of his death on the courts of Eu-
rope.

ssovereignss would soon transfer 10 him
their friendly regards. He is a good
unaffected, level-headed man Of hon
est, open life, and far more intelfectual
culture than poor Faure. he IS an
advocate and practiced at the Montile-

PRESIDENTIAL FATALITY.
Some fatality follows the presidents
of the French republic. Of the six we
have had. only President Grevy lived
through a full term of Office and he
was forced to resign by 4 hostile vote
Of narIiament Marshal MacMahon
found he could not remain president
with dignity. NJ Casimir-P eriers mo-
1ives for throwing up the situation are
stin a mystery. Carnot was assassi-
mated and Faure smitten as if by
thunderbolt.
NJ. Lockroy, who was present at the
death. thinks it was painless. DR..
Ianne-Longue shares this opinion, but
believes there was in the early stages
of apoplectic seizure agonlzing pain
The doctor attributes the breakdown
in the presidents health TO Fashoda
and thinks the consequent anxiety used
up his energy. President Faure had
foste~ed the scheme Major Marchand
was sent TO accomplish and he was
terrified at its possible consequence.
Dr. Lanne-Longue tells me that after
the Fashoda incident. NJ. Faure lost his
annette 1t was then he began to feel
80 limp in the legs that he could not
ride on horseback. Yesterday the feel
ing of lafneness was 50 keen that he
gave UP the idea of a canter in the
Ron de. BoulOgne. He usually went
there between 8 and 10 O'clock in the
morning. mounted on a thoroughbred.
He was fond of going to small morning
reviews at Longchamps, and of taking
up position beside the reviewing gem
eral.
a SURPRISED ABBE.
have been to see the Able Renault,
who gave NJ. Faure absolution in ex-
tremis Nine. Faure, on seeing that
death was Fastening. begged that mes
sengers should be sent to summon three
different priests and Dominican. All
the priests, she thought, would not be
out dining, the Dominican would surely
be at his monastery. She also begged
that if any messenger met a priest in
the streets he should bring him at once
to the Elysee.
Able Renault is the humblest of the
humble. being chaplain to the house of
detention, or lookup, at the prefecture
of police. Yesterday he had dined with
