fact. he has got into trouble. not only with the French authorities, but like wise with his own government. Lord Salisbury in particular being much irri- tated against him.
 It may be remembered that some two or three weeks ago the British Pre- mier was put altogether out of temper in the house of lords by a speech deliv- cred by the octogenarian Earl ut Wemyss of volunteer movement fame. who demanded to know whether the English war department was prepared for "eventualities." explaining that his questions were prompted by alarming information which he had received from q military attache to the effect that certain foreign nations were arm ing against England and making ar engagements which could only be con strued as having in contemplation an armed descent upon the English coast. Lord Wemyss declined to give the name of the attache in question, in response to the angry demand of Lord Salisbury. whereupon the latter gave way to such a display of irritation that he was talk en to task alike by Lord Kimberly and bv the Earl of Rosebery He subse- quently asceVtained that the attache in question was no other than Col. Doug las Dawson. who. in his capacity of military memberNf the English embas- sy at Paris. makes his reports. not to the foreign office. but to the secretary of state for war.

 The scene in the house of lords and the discussions which # carried Id t3 ,r-- f,, the past two months been sending a se- ries of somewhat alarming reports to the British war office. calling attention to the fact that not only are four French army corps to be m0bilized in the northwestern departments of France this autumn. but moreover. that all the serve officers ofthe sapper and mining corps of the army have been recalled to duty since the first of August, and that the regiments of rail- road engineers. who have not been mo- bif2ed for a number of years past have been called to join, while war depart ment officials have just completed T tour of inspection of all the military stations. sidinSs. etc, of the northern and western railroad systems These are only few. of the matters to which Col. Dawson has drawn the attention of his government
 The French authorities, much dis concerted by the fact that he should have been in a position to warn Lord Lansd0wne of their military move ments in advance thereof thus indica- ting that he had exceptional sources of information. has since then subjected him to such a Vigor us surveillance not only by war department agents, but likewise by the police, that his po- sition at Paris has become intolerlble in a social sense. and useless from an official point of view. No French of ffcer dares to be seen talking to him. Even his colleagues, the military at taches of the foreign embassies in Paris are disposed to shun him, lest they, to ,, should incur the i'll will of the French authorities. while at the French clubs to which he belongs and in Parisian soci- oty. he is treated with so much cold r-ss as to make matters exceedingly awkward for him. The result is that he is obliged 10 leave France under a c 'oud f having served his country too well, much in the same manner as Capt. Bo- TED. of the United States mission, and several well known military attaches were compelled to do.-Marquise de Fontenoy in Washington Post
