CONTROL OF THE NEXT HOUSE.
Congressman BabcOck Thinks 1t
Will BE Close.


New York, May N.-Representative JOS
eph w. Babcock of the Third district of
Wisconsin, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee, said
tonight that in his opinion the contest
for the control of the next House of Rep
resentatives would be close He said that
While the reports he had received from
various parts of the country indicated the
reelection of President Mckinley, the
loss of a few districts would give the
Democrats a majority in the House.
Mr.. Babcock also expressed the opin-
lon that Senator Charles Warren Fair
banks of Indiana had the best chance at
present of any of the candidates for the
wee presidential nomination.
The congressional committee he
sad, will meet before the final adjourn
ment of Congress, which will not cake
place, | think, before June 8. l do not
think that either Secretary Long or Gov.
Roosevelt will be named for Vice Presi-
dent In my opinion, Senator Fairbanks
on Indiana, who is an able, clean man,
mas the best chance of receiving the nom
nation. 1t has been the custom of the
party 10 take the vice presidential can
oidate from doubtful state and to choose
wealthy man.
II New York presents a candidate l
thlnk he will be nominated, but there does
not seem to be any prospect of this at
present-at least, does not look prob
eoe If Senator Fairbanks is not NOM
mated, the candidate probably win come
from The Far West.
There will be close fight for the con-
uol OF the House. We have only thirteen
majority now, and we shall probably lose
some districts in the Middle Western
states. We expect. however, to make up
any losses that we may sustain in New
lork, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. :"

THE coMMERGE OF FRANCE.
Whole Country Is Emerging Into
Era of Prosperity


Washington, May IA bright picture
of the present era of prosperity in France
is painted by the United States consul at
,Marselles in his annual report printed in
the forthcoming volume of commercial re-
lations to issue from the bureau of for
eign commerce, state department. He says
that while recent years have constituted
period of liquidation in France the whole
country seems now prepared 10 emerge into
commercial prosperity. Capital has feared
revolutions, and business has been as bad
as ii could be, but there has come change
and partisans now clamor for the digging
of a great canal from Marseilles to the
Rhone; for the canaliZatiou of the Loire
and for the creation of a ship canal con-
Meeting Paris with the sea. These schemes
are cited by the consul as signs of the
times.
The relations of Marseilles with New
York are more important TO the local in
dustrial interests than are those with any
other port and an enormous expansion is
taking place in the trade in both exports
and imports. The exports to the United
States in 1899 amounted to $4,129, 263; yet
in this movement, says the CONSUL the
American flag was totally unrepresented.
