FRENCH ROYALISTS.
LONG-STANDING DISPUTE SETTLED. [Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received May 7, 9. 20 a.in.) PARIS, May 6. The twenty-five year old dispute between the late Empress Eugenie and the French Government, has been settled. The Empress in 1899 was awarded 2,287,CC0 francs from the Imperial Civil List, but the money was not paid and is now due to the Empress’ heiress, Princess Marie, the twelve-year-old daughter of Prince Victor Napoleon. As tho duties and transfer fees amount to four and a half million francs, Mariei has waived all claims, provided the State gives her Napoleon’s sword and clock, which were the property of Queen Horfense.
