man, formerly Italian ambassador to
France. 1t is alleged that. while he was
lying at the point of death, three persons,
including IN official of the Italian em-
bassy, rifled his rooms and took away q
quantity Of papers.

story with the Dreyfus affair. 1t appears
about fortnight ago, signor Ressman
had an immense quantity Of documents
destroyed, declaring that IL they were
left, they might charm various people"
1t is also suggested that the search may
have been instigated by Signor Orispi,
the former italian prime minister, who
practically dismissed Signor Ressman
from the italian embassy in Paris in 1895
because the dlplomatist had failed to
make the French press favorable to the
