New York. May 21.-Regret that they
were not called into active service is ex-
pressed by 500. French. residents in this
city, who volunteered several weeks ago
in response to the call issued by Lafay-
ette Post. A letter was sent by the
volunteers yesterday to their commander
Capt Maurice Lecompte Guerrier. stat
ing that they had answered the call for
volunteers because they wished to show
their sympathy with and devotion to
nation whose generous hospitality they
had enjoyed. -,
They declared themselves to be in
great part veterans of Dahomey, Tunis.
Tonquin and Madagascar. and deeply
regretted that they had been denied the
honor Of taking up arms in the cause of
their adopted country. In reply Capt.
Guerrier sent letter. in which he said:
You were prompt to answer to my
call, and for this reason think you have
the right TO receive the attention, the
sympathy and the esteem of the Ameri-
can people, to whom commend you
warmly"

To the Editor OF The Times:
More than year ago I wrote to q
friend In the Senate and said that we
ought to buy out all the holdings that
France has in the New World. taking
Guiana along. not that We want 1t, but to
make another step in the way we ought
to go: and Guiana could be used as a
penal colony. He Is very conservative
man, but answered that the idea was
worth thinking about. The Monroe doc
trine has its negative and its positive side;
the former that Europe must not increase
It's holdings here; the latter that we look
TO a future when the last European hold
on America will be broken-the last wart
viii be of the American nose. 1t ought
to be gotten off with the least scar pos
sible. When destiny is forcing a nation

lators ought to face the fact and act up

The Trials Of . Street Car Conductor
To the Editor Of The Times:
As a citizen. allow me to make the fol-
lowing remarks in behalf Of the city street
car conductor:
Many passengers take their time in
getting ON and on of cars, actually pre-
venting cars from making schedule time.
Others keep the conductors waiting for
their fares, or ask unnecessary questions,
particularly while the conductor Is maxi
ing up his book, while others give little
heed to the calling on Of streets and
transfers that are Of interest to them
One cause of annoyance to conductors
which passengers regard as Of slight i'm
portance, is the folding of their trans
fers." And last, but not least of the
everyday trials OF a conductor, il the
changing OF S or $40 bills, TO take out
q single fare. ONE WHO KNOWa

ARIZONA wants to be a state that she may participate in the many blessings to be attained thereby. The way to accomplish this end is to send dele gate to congress who will have inGu- ence with the party in power. and Il man who will have influence with all people of the United StaieS: d man who has earned his right to ask favOrs of his country by a baptism of shot and shell; q man who faced Spanish hell at his country's call, and one whom nation is now extending hearty thanks for his heroism-the name of Colonel Alex o. Brodie stands out like d beacon light in the storm of night: a name that has sunk deep into the hearts of the people, not only of Arizona, but of the whole West, and his defeat would be a disgrace to our territory: blot upon our territorial escutcheon that time would fail to erase.

COLORED LAWYERS MEET.
Nor PLEASED WITH THE SENTENCE OF
LAWYER JAMES II. SMITH.

Z Il
LAWYER JAMES H. SMITH.
A meeting ofseversl members of the
bar met on last Thursday afternoon at
o clock TO take some action relative
10 the conviction and sentence of Law
yer ames II. Smith, recently charged
with embezzlement
liz was claimed at the meeting that
Judge Bradley gave several o. them to
understand if M. Smith paid back the
money he was charged with embez-
Zllng, sentence would be suspended.
The amount that was charged in the
indictment amounted TO about four or
FIVE hundred dollars, but the Jury
found him guilty upon two counts
which amounted to about $1oS.
All but about twenty dollars if this
amount had been paid to the new
committee Mr.. Folly and on the morn
ing OF Mr.. Smiths sentence, he had
the balance in his pocket TO turn
over 10 Mr.. Folly, but the death OF
his, (Folly's) child prevented him from
being at court.
To the surprise of those who were
interested in the case, the lawyers
alleged Judge Bradley reprimanded
Mr.. Smith and sentenced HIM TO Is
months in the penitentiary.
What made the colored LAWYERS
more lndignat and chagrined is, that
Mr.. Smith was one of the foremost
colored members of the bar, with
Lawyers Hewlett, Frisby, Moss, Pey'
ton and others who defended Judge
Bradley against the attack of the
preachers and the Senate committee
Tor account of an alleged remark that
was attributed TO him at the time one
Smith was convicted of murder. All
OF this was freely discussed by the
colored lawyers.

ROYAL BLUE TRAINS.
Between Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.
713 Market Space.

In September last, railway officials
from London were sent to America, to
get ideas on the railway passenger
service of the leading lines in this
country, and in their official report,
which was printed in the London
Times IN January, it was stated that
the Royal Blue Line series of mag
nificent passenger trains, running be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington, lead the world
for quick and exquisite train service
The ROYAL Blue Line" service con-
sisis of nine elegant passenger trains
day in each direction between the
cities named above. They are the
finest and fastest trains in the world.
Their equipment was built especially
for the service by the Pullman Com
pany, and includes every modern con-
venience known for the comfort of
passengers. The trains are vestibuled
from end to end, and hauled by the
strongest and fastest locomotives in
the United States.
The exquisite day coaches of these
trains are worthy of special note.
They are beautifully upholstered,
Cd(ll "dSulOOh dud
smoking compartment.
The parlor cars are the most pala-
tial ever built, being fully seventy
three feet long. In addition to this
service, three new parlor cars were
added in April, and are the first of
this kind ever run; they are richly up
holstered and ornamented throughout
in most beautiful designs. A ladies'
retiring-room is provided in one end
of the car. This room, which is six
feet square, is furnished with a beauti-
full dresser with large mirror and a
number of drawers. On each side OF
it are upholstered corner seats. In an
other corner is bookcase and station
ary washstand. The room was de-
signed for especial comfort of ladies,
who have always claimed men had the
best of it when travelling. The usual
smoking apartment, however, is at the
opposite end of the car.
The dining cars are operated by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company,
and especial attention is given to the
menu. Every delicacy is served in
season, and the service is unsurpassed.
In addition to the already perfect
service of Royal Blue Trains men
toned above, there will be put into
service May IS "Royal Limited"
train, which will leave New York at 90
P. NJ, making the run to Washington
in FIVE hours. Returning, the "Roy-
al Limited will leave Washington at
100 P. NJ, arriving New York at $40
P NJ. The Royal Blue Line" will
then boast of three trains which make
this extraordinary fast time between
Washington and New York, which
has never been attained by any other
line. The Royal Blue Trains" be-
tween Baltimore and Washington
make the run in FORTY-FIVE MIN
UTES-the fastest regular service ever
attained between the two cities.
The terminal at New York City is
the most convenient for all points in
Greater New York. Passengers can
land at South Ferry (Whitehall Ter
minaD, where, under the same roof,
connection is made with the elevated
lines of the second, Third, Sixth and
