THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

Russia is about to repeal the law permitting foreigners to enlist in the army. Prince Hohenlohe’s appeal to Russia for exemption from toe land ukase has proved fruitless. It is semi-officially stated that Flourens, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, in conversing with Count Von Munster, the German Embassador, on the subject of the frontier shooting incident, pointed out, first, that not a single stain of blood had been found on German soil; second, that Kaufman, after firing, fled, showing that he was conscious of having committed an illegal act The French official inquiry, therefore, argued Flourens, proved that the German agent knowingly committed the offense. Von Munster replied that the German inquiry had not been concluded, and he could give no pledge as to what would be dona The French Government will insist upon tho punishment of Kaufmann. The question of indemnity is of secondary importanca The Procurator of Nancy will meet the German law officers at the scene of the Incident for the purpose of making a joint examination. Several of the expatriated French princes, it is reported, have bought properties at Cracow, in Russian Poland, intending to become subjects of the Czar and enter the army. The place of Gon. Sir Redvers Buller as Under Secretary for Ireland will be taken by Sir Joseph West Ridgeway, recently at the head of the British Commission on tho Afghan bounday. A German court has sentenced Schnabeles, the French boy who crossed tho frontier and fastened a tricolor placard on a tree, to a fine •f 20 marks and three weeks’ imprisonment The Court counted the offender’s youth in extenuation of his offense Paris rumors say that the sister of Mrs. Bonanza, Mackay, who some time ago married Count Telpener, has finally separated from that ornament of society.
