DEATH OF THE COUNT DE CHAM#ORD—A SKETCH OF HIs CAREER. Acable dispatch from Vfenn& this morning re- Ports the death of the Count de Chambord at Frohsdorf. Henri Charles Ferdinand Mari? Dieu- donne, Count de Chambomt and Duke de Bordeaux, was the répresentative of the elder branch of the French Bourbon dynasty, and called by his partisans Henry V.. of France. | He was bornin Paris September 29, 1920, seven months after the assassination of his father, Prince Charles Ferdinand d’Artols, Duke de Berry wno died from a stab inflicted by a political fanatic named Louvel, whose design was to extit guish the race of Bourbons. ‘The act was com- mitted as the duke was leaving the opera with his wife, who subseq juently became the mother of the Count de Chambord. The title of Duke of Bordeaux was given Bim in compliment to the legitimist zeal of that city, and that of bord after the estate of that name presented him by his partisans After the revolution of July 1830, during which bis grandfather, Charles X., and his uncle, the Duké d’Angoulems, in vain resigned their rights 1n his favor, he lived in exile successively in Scotland, Austria, and for a short time in Italy, till 1645. when he established himsel¢ in London, where the fortune be- queathed to him by the Duke de Biacas enabled him to live in fine style, In 1851, after the death of the Duchess d’Angouleme, he inherited the domain of Frohsdorf, near Vienna, wher: he gen- erally resided, having sold his palace in Venice 10 1866. In the summer of 1871 he for the first time Teturned to France, but voluntarily left the coun- try afterashort stay at his princely estate of Chambord, in the department of Loir-et-Cher. ‘The Count de Chambord married in 1846 Marie Therese, Archduchess of Austria, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Modena. Her mother was @ great-granidaughter of Marie Theresa, and grand-niece of Marie Antolnette. sided is Diplomatic Immunity. PRIVILEGES OF FORRIGN MINISTERS AND THE MEM- BERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLDB—OUR OWN COURTS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS—AN EASY MATTER TO GET RID OF AN OFFENSIVE DIPLOMAT. In view of the.recent publications alleging abuses of the privileges accorded to representa- tives of foreign countries a STaR. reporter took oc- casion tomake inquiries at the department re- garding the immunities and tbe alleged abusea. In the first place, 1t may be stated that in every civilized country it 1s considered absolutely neces- sary that every properly-accredited representative of a foreign government to that country shall at all times be free and unhampered to represent his government, and that he shall, therefore, not be amenable to the laws of the countey in which he sojourns. This always has been so, and always will be until the laws of nations are changed and codified by the various civilized countries interested. If a forejgn representative should abuse the privi- leges ot Ms ofilce, and his actions make him lable to punishment by the laws of the country he is Sent to, the results, it ts considered, would not be nearly'so disastrous as if that reprosentatiye” should b prevented from performing the dui of hisofiice, by imprisonment or otherwise. Inevery instance where such immunity from punishment has been abused, it is said, the offender has inva- Tlably been severely dealt with by his own govern- ment. If the offense 1s of suffiélent importance to call for diplomatic intervention, all that 1s neces- sary to be rid of the offender is to Inform his gov- ernment that he has ceased to be a desirable rep- Tesentative, and he is at once recalled As to the complaint that !mmunity 1s granted not. only public ministers, but all connected with their households, tt 1s sald that our own courts are re- sponsible for this, on account of the latitude al- lowed by their interpretation of international laws. It ts evident that the recent midnight troubles of Seuhor Lamatx,the charge d’affzires of the Brazilian legation, orfginated the ventilation of the diplomatic immunity subject. It 1s stated that Senhor Lamaix is undoubtedly entitled to all the consideration and privileges of a public _min- ister, tor he 1s at present the representative of the Brazilian government. The circumstances of that occasion, however, in no way called for the inter- Yention of the Department of State. As stated in ‘Tne Star the request for a statement of what Occurred on that occasion has not bean made by the State department, but & nal request has been made in behalf of Senhor Lamat SS eee eee A Nice Pair of Swindlers. ADVENTURES OF AN ALLEGED WASHINGTON WHITE MAN AND HIS COLORED WIFE IN BOSTON. About a week ago a white man claiming to be Telated to one of the most respectable families of the District applied to the secretary of the Asso- ciated Charities—Mr. L. 8. Emery—for help, tell- ing him that he desired aid to get some clothing and fix up so he could call on his relations. He was given one night’s lodging, and it being ascer- tained that he was a fraud he was shipped. In- quirles made to the Boston, Mass., associated char- ities, brought back the following record: “January, 81, Charles F. —— and Fannte; man, white; woman, colored; no children; born in Washington; does not wish to go back, docs not lke {t; Was several years in a mill in Florida, but gave it up because he did not like it * * *. ‘ebruary, 1841, gave him coal and groceries; while sick be had moftgaged his furniture for $95,this the A.

In January, 1683, the police were called in to quell a disturbance in the famt- Wy, At this me they were living in Cam- bridge. ‘The man had beaten his wife and cut her head open; the doctor charged the city $8 to Sew up the wound, but the man seemed to think itor little account.

Other evidence of a corrovorative nature was heard and the court held the case for the grand jury, and the prisoner was committed in default of $1,000 bail lee SHOT IN A Que Asour a WoMAn.—At 91 o'cl last night Richard Hoop and Turner Alex- ander, both colored, had a quarrel in Proctor’s alley (between 12th, 18th, N and O streets north- West,) about @ woman, when Alexander drew a pistol and fired three shots at Hoop, two takin; effect, one in each arm, inflicting painful but not dangerous wounds. Dr. 'T. C. Smith attended Hoop,who was taken to his home by OMicer Geor E Sullivan.

He stated that they met in Proctor’s alley, be- tween 12th and 18th and N andO street:, last | night and had a row about a woman, when Alex- ander drew a revolver and shot him in both arms, Zhe police heard the firing, but falled to catch the ——._—_ Panic in Pensacola.
