THE PARIS EXPOSITION
Attitude of the French (:oyerun,an.
and People Toward This Couutrx

HI m
and People Toward This Country,
Mi. NJ. Gallia, who is in this couptrv In
the interests OF the Paris exposition of
1900 had interviews today with Senators
Hanna and Gallir ger and Speaker Reed
and Representative Cannon and other
members Of Congress. He found that tho
general sentiment was in favor of the
United States being strongly represented
at the exposition. He also found that the
idea OF permanent United States exposi-
ton In Paris was greatly favored In talk
ing with Star reporter today on the sub
Ject or the disposition of the French govern
ment and people towards this country. Mr..
Galifa said: M Hanctaux, the F'reoch
minister OF foreign affairs, has publicly de-
clared In the chamber of deputies that
france would remain neutral during the
Hispano-American conflict, and further
more. no one can point to any unfriend;y
act done by the French government toward
the United States. AS to the French press
1t. must be remembered that 1t is not under
the control of the government and free
America less than any country can COM
plain OF Its freedom. Whatever French
yellow journals 1.-THE United States also
has many yellow journals) may say against
this country, it is fact that the cause es-
poused by the United States has in the
rress OF France many warm supporters
and when the humanitarian and unsefish
motives Of the United States shall become
better known, no doubt there will be a
Consensus Of praise in all the respectable
press of France"

BILL FATALLY DEFECTIVE
Superintendent Lewis Objections to Legisla-
ton fo1 Inebriates.
Creation Of an Institution Would Be
Merely an Experiment-Re-
view of State Laws.

In report submitted by him to the Dis
trict Commissioners Saturday afternoon the
District superintendent of charities says of
the House bill to provide for the care and
cure Of inebriates here that it is fatally
defective. He holds that the creation OF
such an institution here would be an ex-
pertinent, justified only on certain eondf-
TONS He also believes that the extent to
which fnebriety is durable and the means
to the use of which it will most often
yield have never been determined.
Explaining that he had had no personal
knowledge of asylums or hospitals for in
ebriates, the superintendent of charities
states that he sent out number of in
quiries receiving replies from some of the
highest authorities on the subject in the
United States. From these he concluded
that, while attempts at the establishment
of hospitals and asylunS for the care of
ihebriety have been made in several
states, most Of them have failed either
because authority to conduct said inStitu-
tions properly could not be secured or the
Institutions have been abandoned as such
because of inherent difficulties. Those nov
being conducted under state auspices are
experimental and have not fully justiried
the expectations of their founders. Private
institutions are making show of success
by keeping their numbers small carefully
selecting cases, and excluding all not of
good character apart from habits OF in
tOXication.

THE NEW PLUNGE.
Water Specifications Being
Doctored to Suit Mayor
Hoos This Time.
WILL Be READY NEXT WEEK.
Private Conference on the
Draft Tonight--Wil Pro-
vide For 70, ooo,o 900
Gallon Watershed.
WILL Be READY NEXT WEEK

The work of revising the water specifl-
cations is well under way. Clerk George
r. Bouton has been assigned the duty OF
making such amendments as the officials
deem proper for the better protection OF
the city's interests. AT different times
on Saturday the Street and Water Com
missioners discussed the water subject
with the Mayor. His Honor pointed out
just where curtailment could be made
in the old specifications and where there
was, in his opinion, room for improve
ment.
The Commissioners made notes of the
Mayors suggestions and SO far as possi-
BILE every one will be adopted and en-
bodied in the new Specifications.
What the Mayor wants has been out
lined in THE News The principal
things are that a uniform supply be
called for, that ample provision be made
for a 1000. 600 gallons plant when occa-
sion requires, and finally that every
known p%recaution be taken to save the
sources of supply from contamination.
The Street and Water Commissioner
have a few recommendations TO make,
and they, too, will be embodied in the
specifications. So far as can be ascer-
tanned there are no conflicting ideas rela-
tive to what the specifications should
contain.
Tonight the Street and Water Commits
sioners are to hold a private session. The
old specifications are TO be gone over and
the various recommendations outlined.
Clerk Bouton will then make a rough
draft of the new specifcatins. On Wed
nesday, or perhaps earlier, they will be
submitted to the Street and Water Com
missioners. If satisfactory to those OIL
Gals the specifications will be shown to
Mayor Hoos and the Finance Commits
sioners. So far as possible everything IS
to be lone to prevent a hitch when every
thing is in readiness TO go ahead.
The proposition to approve the new
Specifications at next Wednesdays meet
ing has been abandoned. It will not be
possible to have the in shape
by that time. BY one week from We'd
uesdav. however. everything will be in
approved. Al the same time a resolution
will be passed directing the Clerk to re-
advertise for proposals

CANDIDATES WERE ANXIOUS
Mayor Seymour's Visit, How
ever, Had No Gubernatorial
Significance.

Since Mayor Seymour of Newark was
in the-city-on Friday there has been con-
siderable speculation as to the true cause
of his visit. Mayor Hoos stated at the
time and still insists that Mayor Sey-
mour's call was merely a friendly one
In political circles, however, it has been
whispered that Newarks Mayor was
sounding a few prominent politicians with
a view to ascertaining if it would be pos
sible for him to capture Hudson county
or at least Jersey City's delegates to the
Gubernatoria convention.
Mayor Seymour has for a long time
been regarded as an available candidate
and it has been said, too, that he would
experience little or no difficulty in get
ting Hudson's full quota should Essex
county present an unbroken front Mr.
Seymour's qualifications have been gen.
orally discussed since Friday.
Senator Daily was somewhat d~fsconcert-
ed when he learned tina Mr.. Seymour
had been in the city. He left no stone I'M
turned to find what had prompted the
visit. From no one could the Senator get
any definite information. That was due
to the fact that Mr.. Seymour had left
the city without confiding in every poll
fician he met
1t may and doubtless will be a great re-
lief to Senator Daily and other Guberna-
torial aspirants to know that Mayor Sey-
mour is not in the race for the nominal
tion. In a conversation with Mayor Hoos
he said: 81 am not in the Gubernatoria
race now, nor will / start. l have a greal

the nomination. ! h a v been pledged sup

COSTLY AMUSEMENT
Two Italians Pay s32 for Whipping
a Policeman.

Police Sergeant Fry, of the Oakland
avenue station house, had quite an en-
counter with two Italians whom he ar
rested last night on Central avenue. They
were Andrew Moria and Michael 5osia,
of No. SO McDougal street. Both had been
acting disorderly on a Central avenue car
of the North Hudson, County Railway
Company. The conductor was attempting
to eject them whenF Fry happened along in
citizens clothes. AS soon as he took ao1d
of one of the men both turned upon him.
One struck him in the ACE and the other
smashed his Sunday hat and tried to tear
off his necktie. Fry drew his club and
tapped one of them on the back of the
head. He succeeded in landing both at
the station house.
This morning in the Second Criminal
Court, Acting Police Justice Macs fined
them so apiece, costs of court and made
them pay for the s~ergeant's new hat and
necktie. Altogether they were obliged to
pony up 1872. They at first declared they
had no money. The Acting Justice told
them he would give them two days in
which to produce the money and If they
failed he would send them to the county
penitentiary. They Immediately produced
the money.
