his administration Of the Kingdom or the
Two sicjlies July 10 to February J.
1900. 1t is interesting to note that
when Napoleon created Murat King OF
Naples he made him return to the i'm
perial domain the superb residences OF
the Chateau de Neuilly, estimated with
it's furniture and works of art at $500
600. and also the Chateau OF the Elysees
NOW occupied by President Fallieres)
then estimated at $4,000. Altogether
the value OF the property returned TO
NAPOLEON I by Murat when he was made
King Of the Two Siciles was more than
g 600. 600 francs, or S1.2OO,OOO, q truly
royaI sum in 1908. When at Naples
Murat wrote on several occasions to Ma
poleon complaining that he declined to
give him friendly advice and appeared
ito regard him as stranger" He wrote
from Portici on November 20, 1908: IF
this GOODNESS on your part continues /
shall relinquish the kingdom. l prefer
your friendship to this crown" Many
odd and edifying glimpses into the lie
of the imperial family are supplied by
the letters from jerome Bonaparte,
Queen Hortense and the Princesses
Elisa, Pauline and Caroline and many
legends, such as are recounted in the
Marriott Memories, are dispelled. The
volume contains the reproduction of a
fine equestrian portrait of Murat when

The Agadr threat was made by the

what German diplomacy had lost at
Algeciras and securing port on the At

basis for retaining influence in that

Chancellor Won Bethmann and Minister
OF Foreign Affairs Won Kiderlen, who are
statesmen of far inferior mould COM

menace as a mere bluff. The result al
