That Colonel Count Gleichen. the newly appointed
military attache of the English Embassy at Wash
ington, enjoys King Edwards full approval az
everything that he did while filling a similar place
at Berlin is demonstrated by the fact that he has
Just been gazetted 10 the Order OF the Bath. He
receives the cross Of a Companion Military Divi-
sion and it constitutes a notable addition 10 the
long row OF other orders and war medals which
already adorn his breast including the Order OF
St Michael and ST. George, the DISTINGUISHED Ser
Vice Order, the Victorian Order. etc The distno-
ton comes TO Count Glechen by way of response

Kaiser endeavored In vain TO silence by the very
marked regard and affection which he manifested
until the last to the count who is a first cousin
TO the Empress.
PRINCE LOUIS QUITS THE CARS SERVICE
Prince Louis Bonaparte is about 10 quit the Rus
sian service in which he holds the rank of gem
eral Of cavalry. and has applied for permission
his first cousin. King Victor Emmanuel, TO re-
enter the italian army 10 which he formerly be-
longed. and from which he resigned when Italy
definitely Joined Germany her ally in the Triple
Aliance-an agreement originally aimed against
Franco. 1t seems that Prince Louis is dlsinclined
from motives OF state and policy identify him
SELF IN the eyes Of the people Of France and IN
those Of the entire civilized world with that work
OF military suppression OF civil disorder that

superior officers Of the Cars army. The measures
Of repression in the Caucasus which he was
charged with executing. while in command OF the
Russian troops there. were repeent to him. and IL
is to this that must be ascribed the fact that he
insisted upon taking leave OF absence before order
had been entirely restored. Now Emperor Nicho-
las has assigned him TO another disturbed district

while IN military command will be assist the

much to ALLEVIATE sympathy abroad from the Car.
Prince Louis Boneparte on receiving hts new ap
pointment and on learning the nature of the work
expected OF him. declined TO accept IT. explaining
that If he had taken service IN the Muscovite army

that when he had entreated DO allowed to Join
the army IN Manchuria last year during the war
with Japan he had been forbidden to proceed to
the front even without command. and that police

duties required of him he need never EXPECT any
Hctive employment from the Gar again. Con-
fronted by this species OF ultimatum the prince

said that they urged him TO remain IN the Russian
army. But the prince has refused TO do SO. He
realizes better than they that Russias alliance
with France is TO all intents and purposes at an
end; that the Car has now thrown in his lot with
Germany; that in the case of any European con-
fagration Russia would be found fighting bv the
side OF Germany and possibly against France He
also appreciates the fact that nowhere have the
sanguinary encounters in Russia between the SOL
diery and the people excited & greater amount or
horror than in France, and that to identify his
name in any way Herewith IS TO destroy whatever
chances there may be OF a Bonapartist restora-
ton in France. In tbs no doubt. he is right. For
