consists of jumping straight up and

The jump Is not merely the raising OF

several inches from the ground.

How Paris Looks at 1t.


sulting from the publication in Germany
of the late Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's
"RecoIlectiOns" continue to make a
great stir in France on account OF the
sidelights thrown upon German pollcy
toward the republic, and in connection
with the centenary tomorrow OF the
battle of Jena, which opened the gates
of Berlin to the victorious French army,
the newspapers here are filled with artl-
cIes on the subject.
The general verdict is that Emperor
Williams action in diSmissing Prince
Bismarck for counselling intidellty to
Germany's ally, Austria, was highly
honora bic to the Emperor but neverthe-
less entailed grave consequences. ne
Republique Franchise points out that
Bismarck's object was to repair the bad
effects Of his policy at the Berlin con-
gress by insisting ON renewal OF the
secret reinsurance" arrangement with
Russia previously existing despite the
Austrian alliance.
Are Sure Something IS Up.
Emperor William, the paper adds,
threw Russia into the arms of France
thus becoming responsible for the diplo-
matte situation of which he now COM
plains, and which he vainly attempted
to modify by his bold stroke of policy at
Tangier.
The prevailing opinion here is that
there is some important secret behind the
publication of Prince Hohenlohe's
"Recollections, but there is dis
position to attribute it less to court in
trigue than to maneuver to advance
the anti-monarchical movement by dis
crediting personal rule in Germany.
