special TtSpOliuenCe.
NT. PETERSBURG, MAY 1.-THE
farewell dinner which NJ. and
~ Nine. Izvolsky gave in honor of
NJ. ana Nine. Bompard was a
very amusing affair for the onlookers,
for every one was perfectly well aware
that the hostess had forced the French
ambassador to resign in order 10 avenge
herself on his wife. A charming story
about Nine. Bompard was told In St.
Petersburg almost as soon as the news
arrived that her husband had been ap-
pointed ambassador, 1t was said that
one of the attaches Of the Russian
embassy I'm Paris called on her TO offer
his congratulations on NJ. Bompard' s
Advancement and that she blandly re-
marked: We'll, we arranged affairs
IN Madagascar very nicely and / don't
see why We should not do the same
in Russia" Her visitor replied: You
win find the climate very different,
madame"
According TO her enemies I'm st. Pc
tersbnrg society, Mime. Bompard lived
up TO the reputation which preceded
her, and master stroke OF tactlessness
inConsed the wife OF the minister OF
foreign affairs and finally brought
about the downfall of the ambassador
French embassy Nine. Bompard made
up her mind that the rooms should
not be oVercrowded and she refused
to allow people who wanted 10 bring
their neces and cousins with them Ia
do SO A lady in waiting on the Grand
Duchess Vladimir wrote TO ask II SHE
might bring two nieces and was
promptly told that II was out Of the
question, ana similar demands We're
met with stern refusal. In this way
half the great ladies' Of the capital
were MORALLY offended But the ann
hassadress determined TO make no eN-
| captions, ana when Nine I2yolsNy
asked IN she might bring her niece she
Jared no better than the rest. How
| ever, that lady mentioned the matter
20 her husband, and the next time that
| the ambassador called at the ministry
! OF foreign affairs, NJ. Izyolsky laughing
| ly protested.
NJ. Bompard probably gave his wife
| a piece OF his mind when he returned
| home; al any rate. the lady wrote a
note 10 Nine. lzyolsky, asking her 10
bring her niece TO the bah. But she
ruined her chances OF re-establishing
herself in her good graces by supulut-
ing that the young lady should be
passed off as a daughter Instead of a
niece Naturally she did not come
10 the bah and Nine. IzVOlsky who
could not stay away on account OF her
| husbands position, arrived at the en-
| hassy IN Louis XIV costume with a
smile on her lips which was not en-
| tirely amiable'
A short time ago a private letter

frankly, condemned the Russian gov
eminent, shown up the rottenness of
ST. Petersburg society, dilated on the
extravaganza and viCiousness of the
grand dukes, and. worst Of all, said that
the French government should give
Russia no further supplies OF funds.
Nine. I2volslSy got wind of the letter
and saw her opportunity for revenge.
She persuaded Prince Meschersky to
publish a biting attack on the ambas-
sador in his paper, the Citizen.
The article appeared and was the one
subject of conversation in the capital
for n couple of days. Soon after it's
publication the ambassador and his
wife went to dinner party at the
house of NJ Branchaninoff, q wealthy
man who writes for the Liberal papers.
The hostess woman connected with
half the great families in Russia, told
the ambassador and his wife how
shocked she had been TO see the attack
made on him and the other guests eN-
pressed themselves in the same way 1t
was very unfortunate. NJ. Bompard
had made up his mind to ignore the
statements made by Prince Mescher-
sky but when the fact was forced on
him that everyone was talking about
them, he could not any longer pretend
to do 50, and he sent his resignation
to the French government.
This Is the inside history OF a diplo-
matte incident which made much stir
at the time, and has never been fully
explained before It sheds n lot OF
light on the kind OF thing that most .
ly keeps great ambassadors busy, You
can be assured that the French papers
win copy 1t from your columns

masters and men in every trade or
ganized, and In each trade there is a
permanent arbitration board consist
