ATTACKS IN NEWSPAPERS

by the Associated Press.)-The mild
weather prevailing here contrasts
forcibly with the cold weather in the
United States. For some days past the
weather in London has been summer
ike and the reports of the terrible
weather experienced are read with
amazement. The temperature over the
greater part of Europe is fairly high.
The Daily Chronicle epitomizes the gen.
eral feeling with the cry: 'God bless the
gulf stream"
The sudden death of M. Felix Faure,
president of the French republic, has not
affected the programme drawn for Queen
Victoria's trip in the south of France.
She will go to Cimiez unless civil discord
breaks out. The attitude of the people
in southern France toward British SUBJ
jects, however, is still far from cordial
and considerable indignation has been
aroused by the anti-British demonstra-
tons which have been occurring there
recently. An English visitor at Nice
writes that twice when he attended an
entertainment at one of the chief pleas
ure resorts, on the Jetee promenade,
where an actress, giving limitations of
well known women, displayed Queen Vic
tor1a and the band played God Save the
queen there was an Outburst of Kisses
and grOanS and shouts of down with the
English from the we'll dressed audience,
one man, 1T further appears, breaking
forth into a vOlley of invectiveS.
There is little doubt that the Dreyfus
crisis and the scurrilous attacks of a
portion of the Partisan papers are large
ly accountable to President Faure's sad
end. The gutter papers nave been con-
stantly raking up court incidents reflect
ing upon members of M. Faure's family.
though not affecting the honor of Presi-
dent Faure personally.
Only on Thursday last the Libre Parole
attacked the mother of M. Faure's SON.
ln-laW with reference to a house which,
it is claimed, she wants to force the city
of Paris to purchase at her own price in
order to prolOng the Rue Mogdar. The
city officials, it further appears, found
the price exorbitant and determined,
rather han pay the sum demanded, to
make a bend in the street, after Offering
her q larger and more valuable house a
few doors off, which she refused. The
matter was taken before the council Of
state, which decided against the PROPOSE
ton to make a bend in the street. There
upon the Libre Parole denounced the de-
cision as ''jobbery," implying that M.
: Faure exercised his influence in the in
terest of his sOn-in-law's mother. The
!, president was much upset by this at
tack.
The booklet, "Loveletters of the Brown
