Special Cable to The Washington Herald
Paris, March 29.-Opium and cocaine
arc reported to have been making raw
ages in the Latin Quarter. The young
students. not content with the natural
soporifics contained in their textbooks,
have been looking for more powerful
philters in the forbidden drugs stored
away in the medical laboratories. II We

dsnts and one ,"oung woman have been
arrested on the charge of selling the
drugs and. meanwhile. they may con-
tinue their studies in prison cells. One
o. the students paid frequent visits to
the municipal laboratory, not to secure
books. but to appropriate quantities of
cocaine, which he gave to the young
woman to sell. and out Of which they
both made a good profit. This is what
the police allege.
On the other hand. those who know
the Latin Quarter are astonished at the
sudden virtuous Indignation of the po-
lice. For years opium and cocaine have
owner of a brasserie says that all the
world knows that for ten years and
more nearly all the young folks who
spent their nights in the cafes INDUCED
in cocaine. For the last two years it
has been quite the fashion. Give me
some Coco" is a common request be-
tween young women and students. and
one Of them usually has enough of the
drug to satisfy the whole company. They
come to a cafe keeper and say: Patron.
have you cabinet where We can in
dulge in coco?' and the patron usually
has the place available.
As soon as a newcomer. often a girl.
turns up. she is made to taste the drug.
She soon gets to like it. and the stu
dents are never asked twice. 1t Is ter
rible how much more popular the CO.
caine dens are. compared with the lee

Rome, March 29.-The much expected
costume ball at the British Embassy. to
which large contingent of visiting
Americans have been invited. has again
been postponed owing to the assassina-
ton Of the King of Greece, which has
necessitated the diplomatic corps going
into mourning.
The ball, which had been planned as
mid-Lenten affair, was first postponed
from February 26 to March 26, owing to
the strong opposition made by the Vati-
can, and the forced absence from the
affair of the Papal nobility.
The second postponement resulted in a
great disappointment to the many visit
ing Americans who prolonged their stay
at Rome solely for the purpose of at
tending the ball. A few Americans who
have decided t. risk a possibility OF no
third postponement are remaining to
the first Of April, when the ball is now
scheduled to take place.
Holy Week, with its many church func-
tions and good music. caused a lull in

London. March e9.-Mrs. Lewis Har-

best dressed Americans in London. She
has just ordered an eyenirfg toilette of
the palest absinthe green brocade, en-

The jupe wraps over in front and is
cut away to show the ankles. while
great soft pleats are introduced on
hips to secure the pegtop effect so much
admired at the moment.
At the back the brocade is draped
under a leaf-pointed panel of net. pow
dered with minute emerald green beads.
while its edges are punctured with a
serried row of medallions worked in
beads of the same vivid green. The
train is cut in two points and slit up
TO the ankles. while a beaded panel
falls over it with charming effect.
The corsage is a pale absinthe green
chiffon, arranged in soft folds over the
shoulders and supplemented with a
yelling of beaded net, which is sus-
pended in a short gathered basque be-

Berlin, March "a sensational re-
port. which comes from st. Petersburg
and has been circulated in Berlin, is
that a great romance has amazed and
grieved the Russian imperial family.
As was announced semi-officially last
summer, the official engagement OF the
Grand Duchess Olga, the Cars eldest
daughter. to the young Grand Duke
Dimitri Paulovitch, her cousin. was to
be made during the recent Romanoh
tercenteuary celebrations. Now 1t ap.
pears that at the eleventh hour all
mert were Cancelled.
The reason, II is stated here, Is to
be found in the fact that the Grand
Duchess Tatania, the second daughter
of the Gar, has completely eclipsed
her sister in the grand dukes afec-
tions, and the alleged attack Of fever
with which Tatania Is said to be suf-
fering Is in reality the result OF the
exposure of her duplicity. The grand
duke has made a complete and dra-
matte confession to the Gar. and will
be exiled perpetually from Russia.
Only the fear of a greater scandal
prevented the Gear from taking even
more stringent action against his
nephew. II Is further reported here
that the Grand Duchess Olga. who has
been SO rudely deceived by her sister
and by her intended, now wishes to
finish her life in a nunnery. Both the
Czar and Czarina are said to be brok-
en-hearted at the outcome of what
was described as a love romance.

brother, Prince Henry. who Is grand ad-
miral of the fleet and commander OF the
second German squadron in case of war.
are trying TO use their influence on the
archduke in favor of a peaceful solution
of all Oriental difficulties, first, because
they do not want Germany to be involved
in war and, secondly. because they onlv
want Germany to be called to fight when
the armaments under the coming mill
tary law are completed-about the end
OF the present year.
As far as one can see, it seems most
probable that there will be war in Eu-
rope Immediately after the Balkan peace
is arranged. and the man responsible
for that war will surely be Archduke
Francis Ferdinand. for he and his mill
tary clique have never been so decided
about war as now.
