Par'S. Nav 26.-In connection with
the death of young Ninson Mclean,
lie Journal recalls the sinister history
of the celebrated blue diamond of
which the boys mother is the present
poSseSSor.
Brought from, India by a French
explorer in the seventeenth century
it was purchased by Louis XIV, as n
gift for his favorite. Fouquet. who
was soon afterward disGraced and
imprisoned. Marie Antoniette and
Princess Lamballe, whose head was
borne on a pike through the streets
of Paris. wore the diamond in turn
It's two next possessors, Dutch jew
eler and a French revolutionist, both
died in dire poverty.
The gem was bought by Lord Hope
of London, whose son married May
Yohe, the American actress, only to
find trouble instead of nuptial bliss.
May Yohe herself refused to wear the
blue gem.
In 1901 a French merchant sold T.:
for l5,000.00O francs to the Russian
Prince Kanisowsky. The prince lent
il to his mistress, a dancer at the
Folies- Borgerc. but before she could
appear in public with the ill-fated
stone he stabbed her TO death in her
dressing room, He himself was assas-
sinated by Nihilists two days later
In the mean while, Colot. the French
man from whom Kanisowsky ha
acquired the jewel, went insane and
committed suicide.
The next owner, Greek. fell down
precpice with his wife and chill
dren and was killed.
Selma Zubayba, Queen Of Abdul
Hamid's harem, wore the blue dia-
mond when the Young Turks invaded
the Constantinople palace. Sho was
slain by the sultan, who himself was
dethroned A Turk, who bought the
gem from Enver Pahsa's gang, died

dent Wilson yesterday by the Irish
American delegation follows;
Dear Mr.. President: Following the
interview courteously accorded by
you to the chairman of our delegation
on the 18th ult., Colonel House made
the following request of Lloyd George
that safe conduct be given by the gov
ernment Of Great Britain from Dublin
to Paris and return for Edward De
Valera, Arthur Griffith and Count
Plunkett, the representatives selected
by the people of Ireland to present its
ease to the peace conference.
"On the day following, Colonel
House conveyed the information that
Lloyd George was willing to comply
with such request but desired an in
terview with the American delegates
before doing so, and il was the desire
of Lloyd George that arrangements
for meeting him be made through
Philip Kerr his private secretary.
Request Is Repeated.
After two tentative dates had
been sent by Kerr for meeting him,
and, not yet having met him, we were
advised by Colonel House to repeat
our original request in writing TO Sec
retary Lansing, which we did on the
nth inst. At this moment we have
been informed by the private secre-
tary to Secretary Lansing that our re-
quest had been referred to you.
May we not therefore respectfully
ask of you that the undersigned. our
full delegation, be given an opportun-
ity to present to you in person. in as
brief manner as is consistent with the
Importance of the case. suggestions
which Messrs. De Valera, Griffith and
Plunkett have asked us to convey TO
you, together with certain facts of
grave importance now in our pos
session?
May we also take the liberty of
suggesting, in view of existing cOndi-
tions in Ireland which are rank and
will not be denied, that to foreclose
its case by refusing a hearing to its
representatives at this time would be
with the declared pur-
pose for which the war was prose-
cuted and out of harmony with the
common principles of democracy?
I'VE would greatly appreciate a re-
sponse at your convenience. and with
assurance of our continued high re-
gard, sincerely,
""FRANK p. WALSH.

Paris. May 26.--There is now no
further doubt that the president has
declined to ask for safe conduct for
the Sim Fein leaders to the peace
conference, owing to the manner in
which the Irish-American delegates
acted in Ireland.
Colonel House takes issue with the
account given by the Irish American
delegates of their dealings with him.
He says the president turned them
over to him, that he never had any
interview with the president respect
ing their mission, but he simply took
their word that the president had
asked them to see him.
The only request he made to the
British delegation, through liaison of
ficer Sir William Diseman, he says
was for an amendment of their pass
ports to enable them to go to Ire
land, He says he never asked Pre-
mier Lloyd George to see them, but
the premier expressed a wish to do so.
