The Reuter's telegram in which it was stated that the French papers complained that France was the dupe of Russia, unless, In return for French support in the Far East France was to have Russlan support in the settlement, to her liking, of the Egyptian question vis-d-vú Great Britain, turns out to have been absolutely correct. Egypt, not Formosa, was the quid pro quo Russia was enabled to claim for being backed by France in her very disinterested objections to Japan holding the seaboard of Manchuria, It seems hardly likely that the greatly vaunted entente cordiale, supposed to have been completely established between Russia and England during the obsequles of the late Czar, was either to count for much or to last very long. And it is, in fact, extremely doubtful whether the much-talked-of entente ever existed except In the elastic imaginations of blatant and
