This is interpreted to mean that King Ferdinand’s condition is not so desperate as was reported, and also that the Queen is anxious to see ex-Prince Carol, presumably with the idea of impressing upon him the necessity of conforming to the Roumanian constitutional law. On the other hand, advices from Bucharest suggest that, despite the official denials, King Ferdinand’s days arc numbered. Certainly there is a temporary improvement, but his life, under the most favourable view, is to be measured by weeks. | The ex-Prince Carol remains quiet at Nenlly. His present “wife,” Madame. Lambrino, is. residing a couple of streets away. She shrugs her shoulders at the idea of ex-Prince Carol being a candidate for the throne. Her main object is to obtain the French legal recognition of her rignt. to use the name Hohenzollern. The Court of Appeal will deliver a de-, cision on this claim in a few days. HASTY JOURNEY HOME.
