Friday afternoon TO consider plans as

Several methods have been suggested
as to the best way Of expressing the
feeling of the members Of the bar on
the retirement Of the Justices, but none
has yet been determined upon. From
what has been learned. however, it is

An Eclipse of Friendship.

That these cordial relations between

derwent q change, and. indeed, were
subjected 10 something akin to an
eclipse in connection with the Boer war,
II is impossible TO deny, Popular sen

aroused against Great Britain by the
attitude Of the English people, and the
utterances Of the British press concern

too. there was that unfortunate misun-
derstanding about Fashods. and the
necessary retreat Of the French expedi-
tionary force from a position which was

Until the outbreak of the B0eT war
there was no royal parsonage, either

EDWARD VII IN FRANCE.
Engands King Revves by His Promised Forthcoming Visit to Paris the
Extraordinary Popularity Which He Enjoyed Among

France against a republican regime OF
conservative tendencies. OF course, the
former intimate associates and compan-
ions of Edward VII will find him some
what changed As King he is Obliged TO
eomport himself withsa greater amount
Of dignity than as heir apparent, and
while they may fail to find in him the
bon enfant." the genial companion, and
merry comrade of days of yore, yet
they are likely to be favorably impressed
rather than disappointed by his altered
mien and manner For there is nothing
that a French ''gentilhomme" execrates
so much as bad FORM and it is bad
form for King TO make himself too
cheap or to invite that familiarity which
carries in its train contempt.

Quick to Forgive and Forget.

King Edward among his many ad-
mirable qualities. possesses that essen
TALLY royal virtue of being quick to for
give and to forget. He has accepted the
apologies and the explanations OF his
ungrateful kinsman, the Duke Of Or
leans. and received him once more at
his court. and is now going 10 Paris to
pay an official and state visit to the
President OF the French republic and to
revive his former friendships, demon
strating that all bitter memories in con
nection with the attitude Of France in
the Roer war have been entirely blotted
out and reIegated to oblivion. The
French. on their side, seem not only
ready, but even eager to grasp with the
utmost cordiaIity and with the most
sincere good will the hand which their
old-tim friend and admireF is extending
toward them. and it may safely be taken
for granted that Edward will receive q
welcome at Paris superior, as far as
public enthusiasm is concerned, even to
that of the Car, and will be greeted,
not only as the ruler OF friendly ma
ton which has been the ally of the
French IN many a war, but likewise as
