FIGARO FILINGS DOWN DEFIANCE.
Says It Will Be Delighted to Meet the Count
in the Law Courts.


Paris Jan. 23.-The Figaro publishes
Count Boni de Castellane's cablegrams
and says: I'VE disdain his insults,
which do not harm us. We shall be
delighted to meet him in the law court,
on condition that the trail be a serious
one and that nothing be kept back
which would throw the fullest light on
the matter. But owing to the profess
sional secrecy of stock brokers there is
only one means Of clearly establishing
the truth, and this means lies in the
hands of De Castellane.
LET him request the minister Of
finance to send an inspector to inquire
of the stock brokers-the minister of
finance can alone do this at De Castel
lanes reQuest-and then we shall
know positively if De Castellane has
been slandered, and if he never specu-
lated on the bourse. This is the only
course open to De Castellane. Every
thing else in his cablegrams Of threats
is what the Americans call a bluff"
