| So tho French, Canadians gradually droprcd
the beaver and the maple leaf from their
flag and ieadopted the French tricolor.
In recent years the policy OF the French
Republic toward the Church has alienated
from 1t the sympathy Of the great bulk OF
the people Of French Canada. They have
ceased to dream OF any future political
af1liaton with the France Of to-day and
are apparently growing tired OF the tri.
color, with the modern policy and system
Of government which 1t symbolizes.
1t is to get closer as 1t were. to the
old France OF the Bourbons, with its
white lilies, and also to adopt flag
which shall symbolic to them the separate
nation of French extraction. language and
religion upon the soil Of America. to which
they inspire, that the French Canadians
have adopted the new sacred heart flag

The French Canadians attach a great
deal more Importance to the choice Of flag
than is generally supposed by those who ara
not familiar with all their aspirations. That
they dream Of becoming an independent
nation, which will in time dominate the
northern part of this continent, few Of them
care to deny.
They largely base their hopes upon the
rapid natural increase Of their nationality
and the alleged race suicide which their
public men openly charge against tho
English speaking citizens Of both Canada
and the United States. And 1t is precisely
because they believe so firmly in their future
destiny as an independent nation that they
attach so much importance to the choice
of an appropriate flag which shall be dis.

ROJESTvENSKY A PESSTNIST.
a Characteristic OF Russia's
Defeated Admiral.

The Russian naval commander. Admiral
Rojest vensky. has always been looked
upon by his friends as one Of the most
pessmistic men in the navy. He felt in
tensely the sadness of life, and II one may
Judge from his own remarks he foresaw the
disastrous end Of his expedition.
His morbid feelings were exhibited In
some verses written by him In the album
of an English girl. at her request. He
selected the we'll known little French poem
-Ia Vie est Breve." and wrote this para
phrase OF it,
La vie est bete
Tn pcu de fete.
Tn peu dennui.
FL puis-bonnc mutt.
Life is stupid. A little gaiety a little
weariness and then-good night"
Admiral Rojestvensky has one daughter.
who looks far more English than Russian.
She was married to a Russian naval en-
gineer before the outbreak OF the war,
and followed him to the East as sister
of charity.
The work of nursing the sick and wounded
proved too much for her, and she returned
to st. Petersburg with the intention OF
accompanying her father to the East on
board the hospital ship Orel The Admiral
regretted his action in consenting to allow
her to sail with the Baltic feet and when
they put In at Vigo he sent her home

Paris. May 24.-The Journal today

Effects of Movement.
The statement says the most i'm

of the revolutionary movement; ex-
presses scepticism regarding govern

disaffected. While confident of the
success of the revolutionary movement
Gapon says internal rivalries and quar-
rels between the revolutionary forces
have delayed carrying ont their plans
