PRANCE AND MADAGASCAR.
PARIS, November 15th. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has reported/favourably on the expedition to Madagascar and the special credit demands by the Government. M. Dupuy said that it was not a question of the extension of the French Colonial Empire, but that the expedition was TIPCTREATY if only as a means of opholding the existing rights of France lo Madagascar.
FRENCH PATRIOTISM,
The enquiries which are now being made in connection with the arrest of Captain Dreyfus on the charge of divulging State secrets to Italy and Germany have revealed the fact that there exists in Paris a widespread system of espionngo, whereby such information is regularly obtained for foreign Governments by collusion with French officials. Two Germans have been arrested in this connection.
