The Disposition of the Naval Forces Creates

Berger Says He Cannot Visit the Worlds Fair
at Chicago.


New York, Feb. 6.-The Worlds Paris
special says: Georges Berger, Manager
General of the last French exposition, and
now one of the members of the Chamber of
Deputies for Paris, told the Worlds CORE
spondent to-day that he would not
be abl TO accept the invitation to visit and
to give advice to the Worlds Fair. He said
that he would, out of Difference to the Amer
lean Government and his affection for the
American people, be willing 10 make all
the suggestions he could from this side,
but his political duties and failing health
would not permit his long absence from
France. Berger knows Chicago and said
that in his opinion it was fatal mistake to
divide the exhibition into, two parts. He
thought the success of the exhibition depended
on unity in site, as the people like to swarm
around the great center. He added that the
French exhibitors would like to send ex-
hibits to Chicago, but they first wanted
assurance of legal protection for their
patents, trademarks and designs.

PFRJURY No CRIME.

Under the law perjury is a penal offense.
But it is an offense less frequently punished
than any ether which comes before the
courts. Murderers are occasionally hanged,
and there have been instances Of conviction
for forgery when the accused did not secure
money enough TO enable him TO make a
strong defense. But perjury is difficult of
proof, even where there is a dispO ,ition to
bring the peIurer to justice. When wit
ness says he does not remember" it is
hard to prove that he does at that moment
remember. He may have remembered
moment before and again a moment after
but he IS answering only for the present.
Acurious Illustration Of this lapse of memory
Is found 10 the examination of certain bank
Off ials in the case Of the missing MeSsen-
g.r Jones. None OF Messenger Jones' su-
periors know anything about Ills where
abouis. II is not denied that he had in his
possession $500 of the Croker Woulworth
Banks money when he left that institution,

or the money. To most men $500 is worth

the missing $500 have not exhausted their
mental resources in a search for Jones. If
they are asked where Jones is they answer

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.

Ii has been suggested that since Ger
many persists in excluding American pork,
tha United States should retaliate by ex-
GLIDING German beet sugar. The right of
Germany to place an import duty on pork,
intending American pork, would not, of
course, be questioned. But IN selecting
American pork Tor prohibition on the ground
that it was not healthful, the German Gov
eminent committed an unfriendly act and
an unlrendly act invites retaliation. But
in few weeks all sugar, from whatever
quarter, will be imported duty free. Will
German beet sugar continue to come in
large quantities 10 compete on even terms
with cane sugar! II it does, the sugar out
look for American growers will be bright, as
they will have the Government bounty Of

DOMESTIC TROUBLE.
Mrs. Louisa Hanson Takes a Dose
Of Laudanum.

Louisa Hanson. who keeps lodging

eide yesterday morning by swallowing two
ounces of landanum. She was found in an
unconscious condition, and her husband
summoned DIR. Murphy, who, after giving
strong emetics. suggested that the woman

There, with a stomach-pump, she was re-

THE ARGUMENT.

Our contemporary, the Alta California,
seems to fancy that California must have
free trade in order to prosper, for it says:
California produces an agricultural surplus of
$50. 900, 600 year, for which foreign market
must be had, and her people will not much
longer support the party which with equal gno-
rance and impudence declares that I'VE need no
foreign trade"
Free trade in the United States would
mean that nearly all of our products would
come in competition with those countries
where labor is cheap We should receive
various fruit products from Mexico and
Central America and the Mediterranean.
Other products would come from Italy,
France. Spain, Germany and Portugal
Free trade would destroy the beet root
sugar industry, for free trade would not
nhan bounty Of two cents on sugar.
Manufacturers could not compete with
European products without large reduc-
ton for labor in the United States. The
CALL cannot realize that California would
gain i'll any respect by free trade, but We
can see that our citizens would lose on every
hand by pursuing such policy.
