Diplomatists Believe That the Relations
Between France and Brilatit are Severe-
ly Strained.
A. despatch from London, says :—Lord•
Salisbury has sent a formal prbtest to
the French and Italian Governments
against the agreement whereby Italy
ceded a part of the Roberta coast in
East -Africa to France.
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.

English people.
in diplomatic circles the reports of
better relations between the two conn-
trins arenow discredited. It would not
be surprising if there was a renewal ef
the active military preparations,
which both nations made with so much
display het fall. Great Britain hae
not relaxed her work on her fleet, rind

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,

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. The ques-
tion not freg.uentaY asked is, "Wars
will be the next President?" and • the

questioners themselves is that of

But another question, or/Jimmie in ite

President?" None but hopeless pessim-
ists give 1 negative areswar to this
