For Protection Against Tramps.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-There is a large class OF people in
this community who regard with serious
alarm the coincidence OF two most irl-
portant measures adopted by our law
makers. These are the people who
neither write nor fight nor make speeches;
who do not make up committees nor sit
on boards. nor vote In legislative assem-
blies. They are the voiceless, they do not
make the laws. but they obey them.
They gather over the tea-cups, around
the sewir machines. and In the parlols
and nurseries. Amongst this class there
Is an undcrcurrent o: alarm and anxiety
while they discuss the present situation.
They find that simultaneously with the or
dering away OF the militia OF the state, our
natural protectors comes the action Of
the Common Council in regard TO the
tramp law. which seems almost like an
invitation TO the lawless and criminal
classes 20 accept our hospitality.
As It Is useless 10 protest against mea-
sures already enacted. Il IS respectfully
suggested that petitions be sent 10 the
Common Council TO double the police
force OF the city. 90 patrol the roads In
the neighbOrhOod OF the city with re-
newed vigilance and 10 remove the pro-
hibition OF firearms so far as women are
concerned.
Il Is suggested that some Of the money
saved In the failure to pass the Law

According TO the New York Herald
the dressmakcrs Of Paris are much dis
tressed that certain French newspapers
should have assumed a hostile attitude
towards the United states. Some Of
them, whose trade is principally with
this country, do not hesitate TO avow
their sympathy with Uncle Sam, and
others who have large trade relations
with Spain as well, assume an attitude Of
neutrality. But all are agreed that the
hostile sentiments Of the newspapers
are TO be deplored and arc very positive
I'm the declaration that such newspapers
do not represent the sentiment or the
Partisan dressmakcrs.

Ever since the war began;
Not a paragraph is printed

I have read of every battle

The body of George Downing, the alleged

number of persons who were possessed of
morbid curiosity to see Il.
chief Wilkie of the secret service bureau
this morning notified Coroner Carr that the
mans effects and the money which remain.
ed after the funeral expenses were paid
would be sent to the British ambassador
to be given to the dead mans mother in
England, her address having been ascer-
tanned.
The burial will most likely take place this
afternoon, as the coroner consulted with
chief Clerk Sylvester of the police DEPART
ment IN regard to the matter. Mr.. SylVes-
ter told The Star reporter he did not know
IN what cemetery the interment would take
place, but probably the Congressional
downing had about $3.50 when he was ar
rested, and this is more than sufficient 10
pay all the expenses
Dr. Carr said this morning that there had
been some doubt expressed as to the direct
cause of the mans death. Ii had resulted
