the Columbian exposition. would be more
successful as an ambassadors wife than
her husband would be as ambassador.

SMITH STILL IN THE DARK.
NEW-JERSEY'S DEMOCRATIC SENATOR
WITHOUT POLITICAL OPINIONS.

HE AFFECTS IGNORANCE on NATIONAL, AFFAIRS
AND DECLINES TO DEFINE HIS POSITION
HIS HEALTH IMPROVED BY HIS FLIGHT
Senator James Smith, jr. reached New-York
yesterday morning on the American liner New
York. He appeared to be In splendid health
and excellent spirits
Several relatives and friends met the Senator
at the pier. Among them were his son. his
cousin. y. l.. Bryce; his brother-in-law J. F.
Stanley: John Kehoe and L. T. Fell Within an
hour after his arrival. Senator Smith started for
his cottage at Long Branch where his family
is living
Senator Smith was willing to talk on almost
every conceivable subject except his political
attitude CT questions which might lead up to it.
He said that lnasmuch as he had heard no
political news for week ne would not find it
easy to express his views intelligently. and
added that he believed the best interests
of his party demanded his keeping his political
views to himself for the present. He expressed
some surprise at the early date at which the
New-Jersey Democratic State Convention had
been held He said that he had expected ii TO
come week later and had looked forward to
attending it himself
The Senator had good deal to say OF hia
travelling experiences abroad. particularly Of
his trip from Marenbad 10 London. which. nj
declared, left worse effect han a six days ride
on American roads would have done, although
II takes only about twenty-four hours. This is
due to the tiresome rocking motion Of foreign
cars. He said that his trip had been purely one
Of business, the business Of improving his health
He has been taking the treatment at the Carls-
bad baths twice daily for 4 month and has lost
more than twenty pounds of superhuous flesh
He spent all OF his stay at Carlsbad. with the
exception OF the last two weeks, Which were
passed almost entirely at Marienbad.
Senator elect Joseph g. Foraker. of Ohio, was
Senator Smiths feow-voyager on the home
trip and the New-Jersey politician found Mr..
Foraker a congenial companion. The trip was
a most enjoyable one, although five days Of it
were passed in dense fog and rain.
