Show Heard from Again. The New York Sun has heard from Train once more. Here is the telegram, and the Sun's comments' on it : We have, received from George Francis Train the following cable telegram tele-gram : Marseilles, Oct. 26. I haw just been escorted to my lodgings by ten thousand French citizens. .France is on tire. Peace is impossible at present. Prussia is checkmated. I shall beg ad to receive here at Marseilles Mar-seilles by telegraph proposals for ten thousand rifles, to be delivered here immediately im-mediately and paid for in cash. George Francis Traix. We are convinced that Mr. Train is right in his idea respecting the impossibility impos-sibility of peace. The war cannot end at present, f ranee will not submit to dismemberment. She will not yield Alsace and Lorraine. Of course, if greater disasters should come upon her, aud if the resources which she still possesses should be exhausted in the struggle without her gaining any adequate advantage over the enemy, she must at last make the best terms she can. But at present there is no sign of yielding among the people ; they are resolved to fight it out to the bitter end. This is why Mr. Train says that Prussia is check mated. It is certainly a great danger for her that she is obliged to make a winter campaign. As things now staud, she runs the risk of losing all that she gained by "her success in the beginning of the war. George Francis has been nominated for Commander-in-Chief ot the National Na-tional Guards, at Marseilles; but as the nomination was by General Clus-eret, Clus-eret, an inveterate "Bed" who is himself him-self repudiated by the National Guards, the nomination will not amount to much. Train keeps his name before the world, and that's something gained. |
