Under the Anglo-Egyptian conven- tion of 1883 Italy was forbidden to for- tify that part of the African coast. France asserts that she is not 'bound, by the terms at this .convention, and now proposes to raise earthworks rind foatifications ' to counter -check the British forts on the Island of Perem. It had been supposed that the rela- tions 'between England and France, whicla were strained by the Ji ashoda incideat and other matters of terri- torial dispute in varioue parts of the world were rapidly being settled in the most amicable manner. RELATIONS AGAIN STRAINED. The latest protest from Lord Salis- bury shows that affairs betweentee two countries are again strained to a very serious point. The conetant ag- gressions of Franca toward what the English Government consider its ter- ritorial rights are arousing renewed. hostility toward France, among the English people. in diplomatic circles the reports of better relations between the two conn- trins arenow discredited.

SUDDEN DEMISE OF M. FELIX F'All RE ON THURSDAY NIGHT. lie Died From an tittnek of Apop1exy-- 011MS Consternation at Pairlim-Btf. et on the National CONN. A despatch from Paris, says :—M. Fe- lix Faure, sixth President of the third French Republic, died suddenly Henn apoplexy at ten o'clock on Thureday niget, lie had been slightly indispos- ed for a day or two, but he did not consider himself as really ill. The new of the death of the Presi- dent did not reach the public fOr 720.0re than an hour after it had occurred. It is impossible to describe the first ef- fect of the intelligence upon the pub- lic mind. The announcement whieh flew through Lie boulevards was sim- ply that M. Faure was dead. It was received with general incredulity. Con- firmation of the news followed swift- IY. and disbelief gave pleats to en- , citement, almost lel 101, for nobody be- lieved the statement that. his death had resultecl from natural causes. The pub- lic quickly leaped to [be conclusion that: another President had fallen the victim of an assassin, and a majority believed that the coup deetat which for weeks has been dreaded had fallen. It is no exaggeration to say that for an hour Paris believed that Fri- day's sun would rise upon some form of dictatorship in Frtmce preliminary to the restoration of a monarchical Government. The official news that the head of the State had been 'strick- en with apoplexy finally waned cred- ence and then the alarm, 'which was at most a panic, subsided, and the crowds, which had been momentarily expecting the trampling of the horses of the cavalry, and the, RATTLING OF SABRES. began to diecuss the effect of the sud- den tragedy an the raid..st of the great national crieie. , 11 must be admitted that. the .per- sona.1 feature of the calamity is sub- ordinated in most mieds,1 according to the comrnentSaaeverywhere heard on the boulevards, which, were still thronged at' midnight to -night, to the political situation, which it terribly complicates. This argues no lack at sympathy'•or respect for the demi President. The French people did not regard M. Faure as a great figure in their na- tional bistory. He was no popular hero. Perhaps he vvas not ,appreciated at hie true worth, but he commanded the confidence and respect of all parties and all classes. ale Was remarkably succeeeful in the dififeult and delicate task of keeping clear of all the compli- cations of the terrible scandal which now blights the •national life, al- though it was well known thee his sympathies were on the side of • those who oppose a revision of the Dreyfus case. He had sometimes been accused, in a value way, of aspiring to greater power than attaches to the office of President, under the present, eonsti- tution, but nobody seriously believed that he was seeking to overthrow the Repuedican Government. Thareday night, however, Frenchmen are risking eeels other With enbanced anxiety what is going to beppen.
