The French government have had the refusal of the privilege of investigation, but the recent failure of the French Senate to ratify a commercial treaty under negotiation has made its acceptance impossible. Thus the Greek government offers Delphi to the world, to be sold to the highest bidder. Fully $80,000 is necessary for its purchase, as the village of Castri is situated on the site.
