to court Gallo favor by the very best
behavior of which it was capable there
has been a feverish rivalry between the
representatives of the country's former
rulers, Bourbons, Orleanists and Bona
parties, to secure the center of the stage.
The Duke of Orleans has not been
lame contestant in this struggle to ap-
propriate the limelight. At the time of
the French alliance with Russia, when
it was being discussed pro and con by
all shades of political opinion, he came
out without reserve in a fiat footed
manifesto. against the measure In
stead of the contemplated alliance the
duke advocated a closer understanding
with England. This was not an unwise
move on his part, for at the time he
was in particularly bad repute through
out the length and breadth of the Unit
ed Kingdom on account of social slip
he had made. A Paris cartoonist had
drawn a rather broad caricature in
which Queen Victoria figured promi-
nently and grotesquely, and the duke
had been sufficiently indiscreet to send
the artist letter of congratulation.
The English queen had always been ex-
ceedingly kind to the young man, and
she resented his rudeness.
The duke succeeded in obtaining a
good deal of notoriety in the matter,
but it was not OF the kind that could be
turned to profit. The Russian alliance
was effected, and the English were un-
appeased. AS matters seem likely to
turn out. the French republic having
already lost prestige on account of the
alliance. the dukes attitude may do him
no harm eventually. If Russia should
be compelled to sue for peace the royal
ist cause in France would receive an
impetus that might set it on its feet.
All this the duke as well as every sym
pathizer with ousted royalty in the re-
public knows perfectly well. It is for
this reason, perhaps, that the arctic
project appeals to him and his friends
so strongly at the present time. The
Gallo political situation is sentimental
to the verge of hysteria. When the SUI
preme moment arrives for the restora-
ton of the monarchy, believe the Or
leanists. what more fitting and. above
all. what more picturesque than a ma
tional recall from the pole?

serve in the army as a private soldier.
1t was a youthful escapade and rather
audacious. 1t pleased the French ma
ton more than anything the Royalists
had done for long while. The young
mans father disavowed all completely,
and France was more pleased and
amused than before The duke was ar
rested and sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment. After four months deten-
ton in a fortress he was released and
sent home. If he had been wise enough
to profit by the popularity he had ac-
quired all might have been well.
But fortune refused to smile on him
The unfortunate connection of the Roy
alists with the i'll fated Boulangist
movement spoiled their chances with
the populace, and the final determine
ton of the pope to propitiate the re-
public has retarded the movement for
the restoration of the monarchy. In
the Dreyfus affair the dukes support
ers were strongly identified with the
army, and it seems to be the fate of the
party to choose the unpopular side of
all questions. In addition to all of this,
the dukes domestic infelicities have
! given great concern to his friends 1t

reputation for moral stamina to learn

become free from him as he is anxious
to permit her so to do.
The Duke of Orleans owns several es-
tates in England, the most noted of
which is York House, royal residence
endowed with wealth of historic asso-
citation. Both the duke and the present
queen of Portugal were born there. It
is on the Thames. opposite Richmond,
about twelve miles from London, and
came into the possession OF the Comte
de Paris when that gentleman was
obliged to find residence outside of
his native France. Although it is the

land, including a museum of natural

the same voyage, and he was put in
command by his fellow sailors and took
the ship and a valuable cargo safely
into port. For this service the owners
of the vessel made him captain and
supercargo. He spent the following
nine years in the merchant service, and
at the close of that period he was COM
missioned senior first lieutenant in the
new navy which the Continental con-
gress was trying to assemble.
He was placed in command of the
ship Alfred, which was a converted
merchantmen, and it was characteris-
tic of his fighting propensity and sug-
gestive of his future career that one of
his first acts after taking possession of
his ship was to nail to the masthead
with his own hands a flag of yellow silk
on which was the painted figure of
coiled rattlesnake and the legend Don t

presenting him with a gold handled
sword and decorating him with the
customary orders.
Congress also did everything it could
to show it's gratitude. 1t voted him a
gold medal, passed a complimentary
resolution, assigned him to the COM
mand of a new ship of the line then
building and proposed to create for
him the rank of rear admiral. General
Washington sent him grateful letter.
The British, however, always refused to
regard him other than a pirate and
disputed the validity of his captures.
When peace came Admiral Jones was
sent to France as American agent for
prize money. Later he visited Denmark
on claims mission.
But there was nothing on shore that
could wean Paul Jones from his attach
ment to the sea In 1888 the opportu-
nifty for which he had 1onged so ar
IDENTIFY came in the form of an invita-
tion to enter the Russian naval service.
He did not hesitate a moment. On ac-
count of a probable war with Turkey
the Empress Catherine had applied to
the king of France for the loan of a
flag officer of high rank, comparative
youth and established capacity to or
ganize and command her naval forces
in the Black sea- 1t was job which
the intrepid admiral was perfectly will
ing to undertake, and when the French
king asked Mr.. Jefferson to sound him
on the subject the American statesman
did not have to urge him to accept.
The astute monarch did not care to
involve himself in Russia's quarrels to
the extent of sending the empress a
French officer, but he was perfectly
willing that Jones should be the man.
AS soon as it was settled definitely
