NJ. DE Ricaudy Thinks lie Has Located 10
in an ola Protestant Cemetery In Paris.

W~AsHryGToY. Jan. 22.-The Navy Depart-
ment has received Information ot such "a
reliable character from our Naval Attacht at
Paris that the Department is satisfied that the
remains Of Paul Jones, the evolutionary
naval hero. have been located. The credit OF
discovering the burial place is due to NJ.
A. de Ricaudy. a French antiquarian aud
editor Of HEchO Dr. Pabic. He took up thu
work OF discovering the location OF Commo-
dore Jones's grave after lie Commission du
Vieux Paris had failed, and, according TO tina
information received by the Navy Department.
has succeeded in locating tho remains, with a
fair degree OF certainty. in a former Protestant
cemetery. which was sold in 1904 and is now
occupied as private property.
NJ. De Ricaudy has made q preliminary re-
port on the subject to the United States AM
bas.ador, In Paris, a copy OF which has been
furnished TO the Navy Department. From this
report it appears to be certain that the body OF
Commodore Jones was inferred at the place
indicated e N, dh Rns cemetery dae rslu was 70 lGoa Mol,i az d ,n9
Rue Grange-auN-B Bellies. A small two-story
building Is supposed TO cover the burial spot.

grave is unknown. although NJ; de Ricaudy

though only a possibility. OF the. Identification
of the remains. In his report VI. De Ricaudy
says:
been compelled to bury their. catcgories OF
death In the courtyard, and Paul Jones's being
one OF the latest interments. It Is probable that
his remains are not far from the entrance
door. the place most likely to have been used
for the latest burials. but this is merely u
hypothesis. The cemetery OF the Rue Grange
auX-Eellcs was officially closed on Jan. l. 1893,
less han six months after the death OF Paul
was sold as national property. and was
decided to VI. phalipeaux. Later the es-
tate was divided into two. lots as they exist
to-day. 1t results from this sale and the
almost immediate occupancy OF the site that
the naval hero Of the War of American lnde-
pendence has never been eXhumed. Since the
Protestant cemetery was closed in 1904 there
does NOT exist in Paris any other cemetery
whittier his remains could have been decently
transferred. 1t has been seen that his remains
are not in Perc la Chaise. Neither are they in
other cemeteries since created. Consequently
they must be In the site adjoining the Rue

Mr.. Edmunds's Memorial.

Tho Philadelphia American League, a
graft ,of the Anti-lmperialist League, has
sent to each member of Congress a memo
rial asking that the fugacious WASHING
ToNs and HAMPDENS Of the Tagals be- as
sured by law Of the intention Of the United
States TO help them set up n free and indie
pendent government in the Philippines.
The memorial is said To have been writ
ten by the Hon. GEORGE F.. EDMUNDs,
who shows the dcmoralizing influence of
a~ntl-expansion by splitting his iniinitives.
An extract:
We respectfully submit that Il Is due 10 the ever.
living principles Of our Government that an effort
be made to Immediately terminate the great de,
struction Of human lives. both Of orr own gallant
soldiers and sailors and Of the people Of the Philip.

money of our people, " prolonged and indefinite
duration under existing conditions, II this can be
done by conceding to the people of the islands such
a system Of self government and Independence as
they shall prove capable Of maintaining and by
assisting and protecting them in the same"
As to which we respectfully submit:
/. The war in the Philippines is about
won.
ii. It would have been ended before had
not the rebels been encouraged by the anti
imperialists, who are still feeding them
with false hopes and disappointing the
will Of the United States with regard to
them.

provide for the inhabitants of the Philip.
pines, at the proper time, such a system OF
self-government AZ they shall be capable OF

We respectfully submit, also, that a man
like Mr.. EDMrNDs might employ his tim,
to better advantage than in encouraging

During the first t~wcnty-Onc working days
Of the present session Of Congress there
were introduced into the Senate and House
1881 bills and joint resolutions, =, I27 in
the Senate and G,35i in the House.
At the end of another week Of working
days, that is to say, ON Friday last, the
total had been swollen To- more than q, 800.
At the present tim" it undoubtedly exceeds
10000, and yet tn" long session has
scarcely more than begun.
The corresponding session of the Fifty
first Congress, ten years ago, ran uutil Oct.

legislation had increased 80 enormously
beyond past experience that the total Of

Mr.. Bryan's Visit to New York.

The arrival Of Mr.. BRYAN in New York
yesterday differs from his arrival here in
1896 in the circumstance than now he
comes simply ms a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, whereas
then he was beginning / 8 canvass as the
actual nominee. Practically, however, he
il no less the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party in 1900 than he was in the
campaign Of 1896. As yet he has not
received his new commission, but only
because tho convention with the AUTHORITY
to issue II has not yet assembled.
Ever since the defeat Of Mr.. BRYAN in
1896 his denomination in 1900 has been
Inevitable. Though beaten, he drew to
himself by far the greatest vote ever east
for n Democratic candidate, after u cam
paign fought by that party with an enthu-
siasm never before exceeded in the whole
history of its existence. Moreover, he
brought to it more than a million Populist
and Silver Republican Miles who still cmain
with IL and whose votes il will, porforCc,
consider in its nomination to be- made in
July, and, obviously, the only candidate who
can keep them in line with the Democracy
is Mr.. BRYAN.
When Mr.. BRYAN came here in : 9 this
was tho cncmy's country" in his cstima-
ton, but it is 50 no longer. Undoubtedly,
many Democrats. some in Tammany Hall
itself, would prefer another candidate for
the coming campaign, hut when the National
Democratic Convention meets the dclcga-
ton from the State Of New York will not be
against hin as it was in 1896. When his IT,
nomination is made, it may be- assumed
that the full vote of the New York
delegation will be- for him. Preferences
for another candidat" may 10Y he cS-
pressed among New York Democrats, but
they will not be expressed in the conycn-
lion next July. New York, with every
outward demonstration Of enthusiastic ap-
proval, will join in making his rcnomina-
ton by reclamation, for there is not the
slightest indication Of any organized OPP
position to him in that party. When he
leaves New York after his visit that fact
will be established to the satisfaction of
every Democratic politician in the town,
even il il is not understood by him
already.
Mr.. BRYAN ONE hithcr as a harmonizer
and as such he will be successful 50 far as
concerns the regular organization in both
the city and the State. The delegation othe
National Convention will be- a solid Bryan
delegation. Having become convinced that
his denomination is inevitable all hands will
toss up their hats over it.. Any uttcrance
which Mr.. BRYAN now makes as to Dem.
ocratic policy will therefore have the impor-
tance Of an utterancc by the forcordained
Democratic leader in the campaign OF
1900.

NOT ON IN UFFICIJL MISSION.
Webster Dnvis's Conduct In south Africf
D%ispieases the Administration.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 22.-Webster Davis OF
Missouri. Assistant Secretary OF the Interior.
has earned the displeasure OF the Administra-
ton by his actions in South Africa. 1t is the
general opinion in Administration circles that
he is making himself altogether too promi-
nent. ana is seemingly NOT contradicting the
impression that hc Is going TO Pretoria on a
mission from the Government OF the United
States.
The state Department and the Interior De-
partner deny emphatically the re- ports that
Mr.. DAVIS has an Official mission. Az both
these Offices the statement was made to-day
that Mr.. Davis ha not received "a word OF in
structiOns, oral or written. about his South
African visit. and the state Department an.
nounces that II did not know that Mr.. Davis
was going to South Africa until he had lett
Washington. There has been nothing in the
press accounts TO show that Mr.. Davis mas been
lndiscreet ~ his utterancps. but there Is a sus-
plcIOn here that he Is inlerentially giving the
impression that he Is an emissary ofthc United
States.
Inc istration officers appear to be
really worried over the visit Of Mr.. Davis TO
Pretoria. particularly because he is going
there. according TO report. IN the private car ot
President Kruger. While it Is admitted that
he has "A perfect ight TO go whore he pleases In
an individual capacity. the Administration
fears that his Official status in Washington will
not be ASSOCIATED from his private status in
South Africa aud will cause Misunderstanding
ul the pll posi- OF his visit in the minds OF
Boer and BrltOn.

The Ownership of the Custom House
Property.

A dispute has arisen between our Tax
Commissioners and the National City Bank,
respecting the ownership of the property
In this city now occupied by the United
States Government as n custom house.
The Commissioners assert that the prop
erty belongs to the bank and have, there
fore, assessed it for taxes upon a valuation
of 81, 900. 900. The bank asserts that the
property still belongs To the United States,
and is, thereIore, exempt from taxation,
both under the Federal Constitution, and
under the laws of this State.
The facts of the ease are these: The
United States Government, requiring
larger accommodations for tScuStom house
business in this city, than it now possesses,
has purchased a site for a new building,
and is at work erecting one, which will
not be ready for occupancy for three or
four years. As the present custom house,
however, will then hc no longer needed,
Congress, about a year ago, passed an act
authorizing the sale of il to the highest
bidder, after due advertisement, but for not
less than $4,000, 600, and providing that,
'in case Of such a sale the Secretary Of the
Treasury shall lease said promises from
the purchaser or purchasers thereof. at II
rental which shall not exceed four per
cent. per annum on the purchase price, for
use as a custom house until the new custom
house shall be ready for occupancy, upon
such terms as he may deem advantageous
and such sale shall be- subject to such right
OF lease"
The prescribed rormalitics having been
observed and the National City Banks lid
of So, 265, 900 for the property being the
highest, the property was awarded to the
bank and Il contract for its purchase dated
Aug. ~, 1899, was duly executed by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the bank
about Nov. /, 1899. The contract pro-
yided for the payment Of Sl5O.OuO cash
down, 100000 more within ten days; and
the balance of S2.5I5,OOO on the delivery
of the deed, tn" bank having the right to

this stipulation:

said SO, and their judgment is to be re-
spcctcd, for they are diligent readers OF
history and delight to celebrate its princl-
pal events. Immense funds had been raised
for The entertainment Of the visitors. Such
a grand triumphal round OF feasts and re-
ceptions and reviews, such festivities on
land and sea, such jovial pi~lgrimages in
buffet ears the world had never seen and
now will never see.
The Honorable Artillery Company Of
London is not coming. Col. SID hedges
had the fatal cablogram in his pocket last

it but his cloudod countcnancc told the
worst. The Boston advertiser read that
