Mr. NJ. A. Winter said he thought the
peace carnival, If held this year. would De
inadvisable. He favored the suggestion OF
the president of the association IN regard
to celebrating peace at the proper tune
by a grand military event. The celebration
held next May would not be national in
character, which it might be if held later
during the centennial year.
Il think he remarked. our delegates
should strongly urge that military dls-
play be got up instead of a carnival, and
if thev cannot arrange for it TO be held at
a proper time they should withdraw from
ali connection with the affair"
Mr. Washington Topham and Mr.. VIM

ment of the association on the question of

Divided Sentiment.


Association are not united in the support
of the project for a carnival next May.
He said he thought business men should
unite in their efforts. The old proverb of
a house divided against itself applied here
"The only course for us to take" he
said, ''is to endeavor to secure harmony"
He did not think it advisable for the as
sociation to take a part in the carnival If
it We're not conducted at a time and in a
way to make it a success He was not
favorable toward the plan for holding It
next May. Mr.. Serven thought a grand
military display and a prize drill would he
a greater success than carnival such as
had been proposed.
THAT would make a magnificent oppor-
tunity for a grand patriotic outburst 1t
would bring people here from long dis
tances, while a peace carnival would not
be apt to attract people beyond those parts
of Virginia and Maryland that are near
the District boundary"
Mr. Washington Topham said he did not
believe the business men of the CITY were
in favor of having the carnival next May.
He said that when a peace celebrate is
held here the national capital should not
be behind other great cities in the way in
which the celebration is conducted
Mr. John NJ. Simpson said he was op-
posed to a peace carnival that included n
great display of fireworks
Mr. Theo T. Moore thought next Nav
would not be a proper time for the peace
celebration. He believed 1t should be de-
ample time to prepare for celebration
worthy of the name.
Mr.. Louis NJ Sanders said he thought the
delegates of the association should be in
structed to endeavor to have the peace
carnival postponed until 1900. as he did

fore that time.

how it would be possible to get up a peace

SUCCESSOR TO FAURE.
Cabinet to Meet This Morning to Fix
Day for Election.

Paris, Feb 1.-THE cabinet will meet
this, (Friday) morning, after the en-
balming of the remains, which will take
place at o'clock, to fix the date Of
the convening of the national assembly
at Versailles to elect M. Faures success
sor. The national assembly consisting
of the senate and chamber of deputies,
united in congress will probably meet to-
morrow, Saturday.. M. Emile Loubet
as president of the senate becomes pres
ident of the congress. 1t is expected
that the struggle for the presidency will
be very keen. M. Dupuy the premier,
Is supposed to have the best chance,
and the contest is regarded as lying be-
tween him M. Henri Brisson and NJ.
Loubet. Other possible candidates are
M. DeFreycinct, minister Of war, and
M. Quesnay DeBaurepaire. 1t is report
ed that the recently formed league
known as LaPatrie Franchise will ac-
lively push M. Baurepaires candidat-
lire. Under the present exceptionally
exciting conditions anything may be ex-
pected to happen. Much depends upon
what General Surlinden, military COVER
nor Of Paris, as head of the military
element, may decide to do. So far Paris
remains tranquil. BY curious coinci-
dence M. Dupuy occupies the same posi-
tion which he held when President Car
not was assassinated on June "a, 1894.
M. DeFreycinct has ordered the troops
confined to barrack to-day.
