The French residents of this city passed an eX-
citing day yesterday. There hls been no election in
France for many years which aroused such general
interest among her people in foreign lands as that
which was TO decide In all probability the fate of
General Bouanger. New-York Frenchmcn are di-
vided I'm their views of French affairs much their
kindred are across the sea. Discussion pTOgnOsti-
cation, even betting to yesterdays result in
dulged in with vgor by the Inhabitants of the French
quarter of the city throughout the day. The res
aurants and pensions were filed with people discuss
ing the one subject They fingered longer over
heir coffee at the table dhOtes than for many day.
The majority of them expressed confidence in tho
Government and fervcnt belief that the citizens of
their native land would rally to its support and prove
beyond doubt its stability Many declared BOulanger
dead politically and socially. and felt certain that
France had nothing TO fear from the hero with the
black horse" This, too, was the opinion Of
the Courier des Etats-Unls" in its leading editorial
yesterday, while IL expressed uncertainty as
TO the final result at the polls. when the news OF
the result finally reached here Boulangc's friends

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE?
Hack Stands which Create Nuisance
A Test Case under the Health Law.

Tomorrow there will be called TO Judge
MiIlers attention charges against some Of
Washington's prominent livery stable men,
brought under the health ordinances for alleged
nuisances at several Of the hack stands. The
stand at the Baltimore and Ohio depot ID the
one on which the test case win be made. The
authorities claim that the stable-keepers whose
vehicles stand at the depot should pay a specific
sum, virtually q tax, for the removal of the
manure. The owners object to the payment Of
money for such purpose and will not yield I'M
less the matter is decided against them in the
courts. They have retained Mr.. Campbell
Darlington to look after their interests.
The hverymen claim that they pay enough
taxes for the removal of the manure without
the additional special tax" for that purpose.
They claim that they already pay four special
taxes and that they have no more right to be
compelled TO pay an additional street cleaning
tax than other business men whose horses are
driven over the city streets The stands they
claim are provided by the authorities and they
are compelled to occupy them or keep their
vehicles in their stables In the first place they
paw as other citizens, tax of S1.5O on the 500;
secondly, general livery tax or license 10 keep
and fourth, a personal tax. These taxes they
think are enough and much more than the
average business man pays.
The prosecution is chiefly against those liv-
erymen who have hotel omnibuses at the
depot. The hackmen and cabmen on most of
the stands keep the street clean under an order
of the Commissioners designating the stands.
prosecuted in the Police Court under the same
act and their personal bonds were taken with
the understanding that in the future they would
remove the manure each day.

Is Pneumonia Epidemic /?
WHAT THE REGISTER AT THE HEALTH OFFICE
SAYS ON THE SUBJECT.

WHAT THE REGISTER AT THE HEALTH OFFICE
SAYS ON THE SUBJECT.
According to the statements made by phy-
sicians there are now great many cases Of
coughs, colds, and pneumonia in this city.
March is the month when such cases of sick
ness are more likely to occur than any other
The present increase is attributed to the man
ner in which persons exposed themselves to
the rain and cold during the Inauguration.
For three days thousands of persons tramped
through the rain, got their feet wet
and took colds, many of which have de-
veloped into pneumonia or other lung
troubles Dr. Pool. register of the
health Office, when questioned by STAR re-
porter concerning the rumor that pneumonia
was epidemic in this city, expressed some
doubts as to the truth of the rlmors. Colds
and coughs he thought were probably epidemic
about now, but he did not think that the cases
of pneumonia were much in excess of the cases
in former years. During the week ending
March 2, he said that there were fourteen
deaths from pneumonia, while during the fol-
lowing week, including Inauguration day,
there were but twelve deaths, showing
that the Inauguration weather was not RESPONSE
BILE for a large number of deaths from that
cause; During the first eleven days of this
month there were twenty-one deaths from
pneumonia. March, he said, is the month
when deaths from pneumonia are most ex-
pected In March. 1887, there we're twenty
nine deaths from pneumonia, showing an in
crease this month over the corresponding
month Of 1887.
People" said DR.. Pool, soften get the i'm
preston that disease is epidemic because
they happen to know of several deaths from
the disease"
On the other hand, q large boarding-hous
keeper told STAR reporter this morning that
he had had three cases Of pneumonia in his
house, one of which had proved fatal, and that
In the square on which he resided there were
seven cases Of the same disease now.

Sullivan's Big Drunk.

HE GOES TO HoLYOKE TO SOBER OFF, BUT STARTS
ALL ovEB AGAIN.
A Holyoke dispatch to the New York Sun
says: John L. Sullivan came to this town this
morning to sleep of his big drunk. Sullivan
and his trainer we're rapidly driven to the hotel,
where Hughes registered Sullivan's name in
among those Of the women who compose the
Rentz-Santley troupe. Then John was hustled
of to room A. and in a few moments was di-
vesting himself of his clothing preparatory to
taking a nap. He was besieged by reporters,
seen. After the big fellow had rolled into bed
paper was shown him. in which Kilrain is
quoted as saying that John. was drinking in
order to-avoid the fight. Sullivan, throwing
down the paper, said: 1T Is
rain, and swear that will do 80. When the
time for the fight comes he will find that he
has hoped for my non-appearance in vain. Kill
rain! kilraine' said John rolling over and
driving his fist against the head OF the bed
with terrific force. "Bah!' Sullivan said he
intended to have a sound sleep and straighten
out. He gave strict orders to allow no one to
see him, and a number Of sporting men left the
hotel disappointed. Tonight Sullivan strolled
out on another chapter of his prolonged spree.
having as his companions some Of the girls in
the Rentz-Santley troupe. His rest didn't do
him much good. In fact he didn't rest. The big
fellow 10 harder to handle than bull in china
shop, and his handlers can do nothing with
him just at present He resembles brute
more than man. His eyes are bloodshot and
his voice ID hoarse with his drunken singing.

POLICE PROMOTIONS.
Changes which will Follow the In.
crease of the Force On July I.

The members OF the police are looking for.
ward to the LIST Of July with considerable in
terest, for it is then that the new Law providing
for an increase Of the force goes into effect
Under the provisions Of the law there will be
An increase Of Sc men, which will give the
force total at the beginning Of the next fiscal
year OF 376 men. There will be 1 major and
superintendent, 1 captain,2 inspectors, 9 lieu
tenants, % sergeants, 1876 privates Of class one,
and $50 privates Of class two. What chiefly in
terests, the present members of the force are
the promotions and other changes to be made.
There will be privates made sergeants. The
applicants for these promotions are numerous.
In this regard 1t is limited that there are to be
some surprising changes. Heretofore the SER
geants have heen taken from the list of those
who have been designated acting sergeants.
These officers perform the duties Of sergeants,
for which they receive no additional compen-
sation. The full sergeants receive an advance
OF 30 on the pay OF second-class privates. 1t
is said that some Of the present acting sergeants
are to be reduced to the ranks and that the
promotions will be made from the privates of
the second-cIass In such an event there would
be larger number of promotions, which would
give more aspirants chance to perform the
duties of the next higher office. The changes
Will necessitate the promotion Of l6 first-class
(S15) privates to the second-class, which will
give them an increase of els on the month
salary.
THE NEW .(SINrH) PRECINCT.
as heretofore published, is to embrace the ter
ritory between East Capitol street, LIST street
cast Boundary and the Eastern Branch. This
territory is all taken from the sixth precinct.
leaving that precinct a much smaller territory
than it has heretofore covered. This will leave
the sixth and first precincts the smallest of the
nine. They, however, cover the principal bus
mess portions of the city, which require more
men than other sections which are not so thick

provided for, which will either 60 to the fifth,
