As Count yon Walderste's wife, who is an American, mixes a great deal with the American colony here, it is easy to ascertain that the action of the Emperor in forcing the resignation upon the Count was merely another instance of the Emperor's fondness for startling surprises.
The Sun to-day contains a brief interview with Senator Stewart, in which very pointed. the Senator's profound antipathy to the President and his silver policy. Mr. Stewart said: "I thisk the President will undoubtedly appoint some goldbag to fill the place made vacant by the death of Secretary Windom, but I hope that, whoever is appointed, Harrison will not kill him by forcing him to make speeches against free coinage. I am confident that Mr. Windom's death was due to the fact that he spoke at the Board of Trade dinner in New York. He appeared there at the argent request of the President, who knew that Mr. Windem was suffering from heart disease. The President was aware that the occasion would be a great opportunity to present the views of the Administration, and that no ore could give them as much force and effect as bis Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Windom was a full-blooded man, and the trouble with his heart was of course aggravated by any unusual exer tion. I do hope the President will not kill hie successor by making him uphold the views of the Administration in an unofficial way."

The evidence goes to show that the Assump- tion of universal supremacy by their Emperor represents à principle which expresses not so much a conviction of the Chinese as an instinct which is inherited and against which the facts and arguments of common life are equally impotent.
