ORLEANS LOSES HOPE

hold of those who still retain loyalty
TO a king of France is found among
the aristocracy, but even there the
sentiment is not nearly as strong as 1t
was a decade or even five years ago.
The Catholic church has always been
royalist in it's tendencies, but since
the separation of church and state this
influence is not as far-reaching as it
was.
Many officers in the French army
and perhaps the majority of those
holding highest rank in the navy be-
long to the old nobility or aristocracy,
but the new generation is quickly
crowding these representatives of the
ancient life of France into the back
ground. In spite of the Socialists eff
forts to decry militarism, the army is
intensely loyal to the republic.
In word. the old ghost, the restora.
ton of the monarchy, seems to be laid
definitely. Therefore the letter of the
Duke of Orleans, completely changing
his past plans. awakens interest only
among his few followers.

Up in the center of the Gulf of ST

generations of the same families have

"Pretender" Changes Plans in
Attempt to Form Monarchy.
RoyaIist Leader Attempts to Recon
Gle Few Warning Foliowers-Pop-
ulace Care Nothing for Restor,
alton of Throne.

Faris-The royalists, who are al
ways fervent in France, although their
political influence ceased to be i'm
portant long ago. were surprised and
rather dismayed to receive from the
Duke of Orleans an order that he will
have no direct representative In
France hereafter.
The Duke of Orleans. the royaliSt
pretender to the French throne, of
course, who is an exile In England.
writes an open letter in which be ex-
pressly says that any one assuming
to be his personal representative will
dc SO without authority.
In this way the duke hopes to end
the discord which began several
months ago after he changed his rep
resentative here. On the one side is
the newspaper known as Action Fran
caise. of which Leon Daudet is head:
on the other are individuals who OPP
pose the militant methods of this news
paper.
In his letter the Duke of Orleans
says he has undertaken to reorganize
his followers in an effort to decentral-
lie the royalist movement. as he has
always been opposed to Capitalization.
The political bureau is suppressed.
but delegates will be appointed who,
by means of committees, will carry on
the royalist campaign.
AS matter Of fact the cause of the
Orleanists, the most important branch
OF royalism in France, has shrunk to
a mere shadow. Tourists, particularly
Americans, visiting France, are prone
to discuss the possibility Of the mon
archy some day replacing the present
republic. But these discussions spring
more from romantic speculation than
from any knowledge of the situation
The French republic was never
stronger, more solidly placed OF its
foundations than at this moment. The
royalists proclaim themselves openly
in the senate and chamber of deputies,
but their number is Insignificant; they
fail-to hold even the balance of power
when the other parties are closely d.
vided

sire for the restoration Of the mon

true name was Ivan Fediounin. died,
and PopIavsky, who had taken the
others identity, drew the insurance
policy. Still keeping Fedlounin's name
he went to Narva and in a year had
spent the money. Then In 1901 he
insured as Fediounin with the New
York Life for $4,000 rubles and in the
following year lie took man from
the hospital who was incurably I'll and
equipped him with all the Feriounin

was buried as Fediorntn and once

T WOULD be easy to miss the
frontier of Montenegro if one were
not on the lookout for it. 1t is
marked by a row of paving stones
set obliquely across the road and
a post painted with the Austrian black
and yellow. Then We turned inland
and covered the level mile to Njegush.
This important village is the cradle
of the present dynasty and the birth
place of King Nicholas l. 1t is a GER

too high now for the vine. the olive

tants is the smallest capital in Eu-

The streets are wide and we'll met
allied. The houses are small, but they
looked we'll built and comfortable. and
there are wells at various corners,
where the people draw water in the
evening. None of the Montenegrins Is
greatly rich or greatly poor. The in
dependence Of the individual is as re-
markable as that Of the nation. We
only saw two beggars in Cettinie, a
crippled woman in a wheeled chair
and blind man who sang to the gusla.
This is the national instrument, one
stringed fiddle carved with horses
head.
There are villalille palaces for the
royal family and various rather impos-
ing legations, but in the main both
houses and churches are very modest
in appearance and do not lay claim to
any great antiquity. It was the people
who interested us chiefly.

Then Poplaysky married young
woman named Smurnoff and forthwith
insured her with the Kertch company
for 1900 rubes. Soon he found a fe-
male patient in one of the st. Peters

with his wife's civic papers. and when
she died he collected his wife's insur-
