NAPoLEONIC MEMORIES.

By the generosity of an ardent
Bonapartist, NJ. Osiris, Malmaison
which after st. Cloud may be con-
sidered the very temple of Napo-
leonism, is to become the property
of the French nation. 1t will be
preserved as a Napoleonic museum.
perhaps the strongest proof we
could have that even in the minds
of Bonapartists the brief, brilliant
period of their worship is forever
consigned to the past. MalmaiSon,
or '1ll Abode" as the name implies,
was, the event proved, an almost
fatefully Greek gift to poor Joseph,
inc. Given to her by Bonaparte
in 1898, prior to his departure foI
Egypt, her fancy endowed it with all
the superficial beauties of period
in which, like ancient Rome, France
adapted to herself some superficial
aspects of the irreconcilable reli-
gions, the arts and PHILOSOPHERS OF
many conquered nations. Here she
lived in glory with Napoleon, who
played trictrac with her guests in
the brief periods of ease between
campaigns like those of Egypt, Ma
rengo and Austerlitz, and here aft
er her divorce in 1909 she lived her
long life of abandoned seclusion.-

A Troubled Conscience.

A strange case of bad conscience
is reported from Lexington, Ind. A
man there has just received a check
for SIS from a man in Washington,
and in the accompanying letter the
man states that about twenty years
ago he lived next door to him and
stole three of his geese. No charges
were ever brought, and no suspicion
was attached to him, but he claimed
that he had been unable to sleep
we'll recently, as flock of geese
haunted his dreams whenever he
went to sleep, and he thought that
it must be because he had never
paid for the geese he stole years ago.

Of Persia, his majesty was saluted by
battalion of the Palatine guards in
full uniform. Tattoo was given on the
drumheads. There was no music.
When the royal party reached the
grand staircase leading to the papal
apartment King Edward was greeted
by the Marquis Sacchetti, who acted
for Prince Ruspoli, the introducer of
sovereigns, who is ILL., Mgr. Merry del
Val and Prince Antici-Mattei. At the
upper landing there was grouped in
imposing array number of other &C.
clesiastics, who formed chara cteristic
and magnificent assembly. Behind this
group, attired in brilliant uniforms.
were the Knights of the Cape and
chamberlains in black velvet breeches,
blouses with stiff white ruffs and gor-
geously jeweled chains about their
neeks, giving touch Of brilliant col
or to the scene.
King Edward addressed few words
of kindly thanks in return for the
hearty greetings offered him. The roy
al party then proceeded between ranks
of the Swiss guards, whose halberds
cleaned in the sunlight that streamed
through the wide windows. The hum
of the busy city alone broke the deep
silence that reigned within the Vati-
can. At the Clementine hall, the party
was met by the papal master Of the
chamber, Mgr. Bisleti, who was at
tended by personages of the secret an
techamber.
King Edward remained with the pom
tiff for twenty minutes. A bell was
then rung, and King Edwards suit
was admitted and presented to the
pope. This little ceremony seemed to
please the pope immensely, At its con-
clusion King Edward took his leave,
the pope crossing the room at his side
and saying his last words at the door.
From the Vatican King Edward
passed through the piazza of st. Peter,
where he was warmly greeted in Eng
lish by number of Scotch pilgrims
now in Rome, who shouted, "Hurrah
for the kingp IL
Instead of returning to the British
embassy the king drove directly to the
Quirinal.
King Edward left at o'clock this
morning for Paris. King Victor EN-
manuel and the ministers accompanied
the British sovereign to the railroad
station.

Russia Misrepresented-Wi Protect
Trade interests In China.


Trade interests In China.
WASHINGTON, April 3O-Russia's
part in what has come to be known as
the Manchurian incident has been ex-
planned by Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, and because of the con-
flicting reports which have come to
Washington regarding the Russian-Chi-
nese negotiations at PelSiug Count Cas-
sini has consented to the publication of
an interview. For five years Russian
minister to China, Count Cassini is a
recognized authority on conditions
there.
Since the ambassadors call on Secre
tary Hay last Sunday afternoon, when
he could give only unofficial assurances
of Russia's intentions in Manchuria, he
has received instructions, from his gov
ernment and again called on the secre
tary to confirm officially the assurances
he had given already.
OF the Manchurian incident and more
especially of it's relation to the United
States and Russia the ambassador
said:
"Acting under instructions from my
government, | have officially assured
the secretary of state not only that
American. interests In Manchuria, trade
and industrial. will be thoroughly safe
guarded so far as Rissia is concerned,
but also of the unfortunate erroneous
ness contained in Minister Congers
dispatches several days ago from Pc
king relative to the course of Russia in
Manchuria
| 1T is matter of the keenest regret
to my government that unreliable par
ties should have informed your minis
ter at Peking on matter of which
they were evidently grossly ignorant.
And simultaneously with my call upon
Secretary Hay the foreign office at st.
Petersburg gave similar assurances to
your ambassador there, Mr. McCor-
mick.
Russia, who is doing all she can to
develop Manchuria, will be the last to
stand in the way of an increase in
American trade. We need American
steel, lumber, cotton goods and con-
struction material of all kinds, and this
fact, together with the traditional good
relations prevailing between Russia
and the United States, Is sufficient as
surance that American trade interests
in Manchulia will be protected"

Washington. Dec 14-The state de-

steps ha se been taken for the forma.
tion of permanent republican form
of government in Panama. The news
came in a dispatch from Consul Gen.
eral Gudger as follows:
Election for constitutional conven.
tion called for Ian. 4. The convention
meets Jan. 20"
This action is taken, il is believed
to meet suggestions from Panamans
here that criticism of the new repub.
lie would be largely disarmed and the
status of the new treaty improved il
the final ratifcations could be eX-
changed by the United States with a
permanent and regular form of gov.
ernment on the isthmus
The territory of Panama is so small
that, according to the belief here, the
elections can be completed within a
week after the date named-Jan. 4.
The convention is expected to follow
generally the outlines of the Cuban
constitution. which is regarded as the
most modern and complete model of
such documents.
