This murder came at a vexatious moment, at precisely the moment when the Foreign Office was pressing for the indemnity -on the French subjects slain in Stamboul. | The very argument had been unfor- tunate. Stamboul must be made safe, and here was Paris unsafe! Here was Dernburg Pasha dead in the Faubourg: St. Germain. Monsieur Jwnquelle had made no reply to the Minister. He had come ‘down to the house in the Faubourg 8t. Germain of Paris; he had gone over it; he ‘had examined everything; but he had made no comment. Bither he had arrived at no conclusion, or else he had a large knowledge of the affair, coupled ~with some definite plan. It was an old house, maintaining in it sessentials a departed elegance. The floor of the drawing-room was of alternate blocks of white and black marble, laid dewn like a chessboard. fhere was a door at one end leading Into o small-walled garden. On the other side of the drawing-room, di- rectly opposite, there was another door of precisely the same character leading into a _sort of library—the reom in which Dernburg had been found in the morning,’ dead on the floor. o the Envoy of the Turkish Gov- crnment in Paris, this assassination had the aspect of a diplomatic flavor.
