Dr. Waldstein, the representative at Athens of the Archaeological Institute of America, has, in accordance with the directions of President Seth Low of Columbia College, withdrawn the American claims to the right to carry on the excavations at Delphi. Under the terms of a treaty but lately negotiated, the French have revived their claims to the right of making these excavations. The Archaeological Institute raised money for the purchase of the village of Castri and for carrying on the excavations, under the impression that the French, by their rejection of a former treaty, had given up all intention of making the excavations themselves. But the revival of the French claims forces the Americans out of the field, for the Archaeological institute would never take the position of contesting the French claims. The impression prevails that the French will not appropriate the money necessary to cover the expense of the work; if this proves true, the American claims will be revived.
