The passerby, however, grew cur ious, and mado a trip through the better parts of the city. TblB is what be found: Three better-cla?s cafes with from ten, to thirty .persons eluding out side or in the entrance-way, waiting for a table to become vscant. All other -wine or beer restaurants visited were to full that only one could a free'table for two be found. Twoj others where the doorkeeper an nounced In advance: "Alles? Besetzt."

ITT^Tl Centenarian?! Empress Eugenie of France as Now 90 and May Live ?o Age _* ?AA s . '-; < By Associated Press.) Famborougb, . Hanip.shlrc, Eng., June 2.?When Empress Bugen ie of France recently celebrated her nine tieth birthday at the residence where she passes exile from her native coun try she bade fair to fulfill a prophecy raado by a gypsy woman at Madrid in 1839?that she would live somewhere about a hundred years i She enjoys remarkable health, and is able to got r.heut tho house, although suffering somewhat frpm lameness1 for many years. Every day she is taken out In a bath chair to enjoy the open air, of which she is extremely fond. The Empress often entertains vis itore, mostly relative, and with her on ?er birthday were Prince Victor a ad their family'. In oue wing of her house she bas had apartments flttod up for a number of wounded British officers', and she paid a visit to them oh the day of her anniversary, end spoke to them of their experiences at the front, for she exhibits keen in terest in the war. On sevoral occas ions che has Invited small parties of the less severely wounded among them to dinner, nad their presence at her table appears to have had re markable effect on her spirit.. >The story of the gipsy's prophecv Is told in connection with a slight accident which occurred to tho little Spun I.u princess, when she was only th'rteen. She was a girl of very high spirit and one day when romp ing, slid down the stair bannister so fast thai she dashed her head ".K.inst a project ion and fell unconscious. A icipsy woman who was passing the doorway entered .and assisted inr re storing tho princess, whose mother was bewailing the accident. "There is no. danger," said the gip sy. "The llttld l*dy will live to about a hundred. She Was born under the open sky on the night of a battle. She will be ? queen." . As a matter of fact, whether the gipsy knew it or. not, the nirl .who waB, to bpeom'V ; Empress .of France was born at Oranda in a tent in the ualace garden where her mother had taken refuge during an earthquake. Tho princess herself was rather suporstitlous. and when she was af fianced to tho Emperor, Napoleon III, sho was found one day by b?r mother In the act of working ont a symbol of letters end figures, which on investigation turned out to be her own name Eug?nie with the initials ot'.her future husband, LouIb Nap ?'?on ??onatarte, added..

(By Associated Pr?as.) Peking, Juno 2.?So much contusion relgnB in 8outh Chi nr. thai it is im poss.'Me to determine exactly what the status of many of the Southern provinces Ib at this particular tlmo. Yun-nan, Kwei-chow and Kwung-at provinces not only declared their in dependence of the Peking govern ment, but havo not allied themaelvea with the other three provinces, in other words, Kwuug-tung, Che-klan? and Kiang-nt provinces have pro claimed themselves neutral. They aro protecting themselves agaluat botli iii-; go*orn>auni und ?h? robol troops, and their action seems to have served internal peace and proveuunlj clal transactions ot ordinary com mercial transactions rather than - to protosct against tho Peking govern ment or ahow sympathy with tho moVemont for a southern republic. When Kwang-tun gprbvince, with tho important city of Cauton, declared its independence, thto enemies of the .Peking government felt that Yuan Shi-kai's fate.was sealed. However, tbo revolutionary leaders In Kwang tung are so unfriendly to each other j and . have had so many diaaenBlona that Kwang-tung's soccaalon seem* to havo little effect on tho national situation. 4 . On April .12, representatives of tthe warring pollt'cal fuctlona in Canton held a g?n?ral, meeting to dls< the situation, i'he leadora .of the con ference disagreed so violently that revolvers. were drawn - and men out' side tthe conference zoom Jlred rjfles aide the conference room \ fired rifles - at the members. Uoh bors have been Inspired by the unset tled condition? to engage in looting the northern districts of Kwang-^ung and the province has been compelled to-issue a manifesto preventing both the government troops and tho revo lutionism from croaaing Its borders. Meanwhile , the 30 days' truce which war? arranged with Tsal Ao, the lead er of the Independence movement In Yunnan province, la- in effect, ami there iB no fighting in Sze-chucn pro vince, -which was the c?ntre of 'so much bloodshed early in the revolu tion. This armistice may be extend ed, it is indicated. Negotiations be tween Tsal Ao and the PcMng gov ernment are progressing satisfactory ily through the medium of Chap Yi, military governor of Sze-.chuen prov isoes. 8s?l Ao is quite willing that Yuan Shlh-kal shall remain as pres ident; Indeed, tie Insiste that ho must remain. ?b\t Ute conditions under which T/vai ao would hove him con tinue involves a complete change in the*present form of government under which all powcrB centres In .Yuan Shlh-kal. Tsal Ao demands that thure shall bo a popularly-elected, .parlia ment, a responsible cabinet represen tative of all the various provinces of China, and that the milUary troopa in . south China now, engaged in the .revolution' shall -be retained as gov ernment troops, but placed under tho direction ot the cabinet, rather than under, the personal . supervision. of the'president. There' le Httlo' cooperat'-m between the revolutionary leaders in Yunnan Kwel-chow and Kwang-sl, and those in the other provinces vfldcb havo de clared. their , independence. , ,Th? Kwang-tung (revolutionists ' 's.: are... In? sistent that Yuan Shl-koi must Abdi cate. In Klang-sl the.movement has been milder,, and apparently' tbero is no clamor for Yuan Sbl-kal's retire ment. Although Che-kla?g has offi cially declared its independence, mo?y Of its torom'nent officials hive, main tained their loyalty to the Peking gov ernment and insist there Is no demand for Yuan Bkl-lt?i's abdletton. Tang Shso-yi and other, radical . revolution ary leaders in Shanghai are unani mous in their demand, for Yuan Shi kaI'u abdication, and insist that peace cannot come to China while the ores ident continues in ofilce. The absolute lack'of coordl^ilon in - the efforts of the president's ene mtcjr.aad th? constant strife between .various ambitious revolutionary lead ers hove neutralized tho revolution ary - movement very considerably, and played strongly Into .the .hands of Yuan Sht-kaf and his jcoterie.
