MINISTER PATENOTRE.

The New French Representative to the United States Government. M. Patenotre, the new French Minister, has already made a good

impression in diplomatic circles in Was h i ngton. His brief hut pleasant speech to President Harrison indicated that he is in touch with American institutions and that he fully appreciates the honor his own

country has paid him in sending him as its accredited ’representative to a Government which has long been the admiration of all liberty-loving Frenchmen. M. Patenotre is a bright and pleasant-faced gentleman and full of that life and vivacity so characteristic of his people. He is a man of imposing presence, easy and graceful in his manners and -a fine conversationalist.

M. PATENOTRE.
