Paris. May 12.-Seeond ballots to de-
eide those municipal elections which
were left without definite results last
Sunday, owing TO insufficient MAORI
ties, will make tomorrow a crucial day
in the political history of Paris, and
viii have a considerable influence on
the political situation in France gen
orally. The reballots viii either paint
the Paris municipal council with ma
tiOnalism or merely leave the nation
alists in sufficient number to form an
aggressive minority which will be a
thorn in the side Of the government.
Semi official declarations that the
government regards the eventuality of
a nationalist council with equanimity
in view of the extremely satisfactory
relations in the provinces, must not be
taken literally. 1t is useless to at
tempt to disguise the fact that the
governments supporters are looking
forward to Sundays result with grave
concern. The organs of the radicals
predict that a nationalist victory will
make a municipal policy that will make
Paris uninhabitable for foreigners who
come TO spend their money here. This
remark is based on the nationalists'
tactics since last y0ar, which appear
to have been to endeavor to embroil
France in foreign complications in or
der to shake the governments position
thereby.
Feeling Against Foreigners.
Pursuant to these tactics the nation
alist organs continually publish state
ments intended 20 excite a feeling
against foreigners. The nationalistS
credit the government with the ma
chiaveilian scheme, in the event of q
sweeping nationalist victory tomorrow
of instigating the ministriaI minority
in the council into creating a series Of
violent obstructive scenes, which would
give the government a pretext for dis
solving the council on the ground of
divided factions, whose opposition
would prevent the carrying on of mu-
nicipal works. The municipal commits
sion would then be appointed to take
charge of affairs until the election of
a new council which would be post
poned as long as possible in order to
give the government time for election
eering. Such plan, which would be
tantamount to Q yeritable coup de
Maine, could hardly, however, be put
into execution.
The question Of the Sunday opening
of the American pavilion and section
at the exposition had barely been set
tied when the temperance advocates
lifted their voices gainst the sale OF
liquor in the cafe OF he American pa
vilion. The easements of all the pa
vihOns on the now famous Rue des
Nations, where are the official build
ings of the various nations, are occu-
pied by restaurants and cafes in which
are served dishes and beverages.
Oppose Sale Of Liquor.
The. establishments look out on the
Seine and the terraces in front are Oe-
coming popular rendezvous for for
eign visitors, who gather at the sew
eral pavilions. The American prohibit
tionists feel very strongly on the mat
ter OF allowing the sale Of liquor in
the American cafe, which forms a part
OF their national pavilion. The open
letter column of the Paris Herald Of
feTed an arena for wOrdy warfare be-
tween the opponents of and the SYM
pathizers with the sale of liquor, which
has been highly interesting to Paris
ians, who utterly fail 10 comprehend
how such a subject could form
topic of discussion.
At the headquarters Of the American
commission il is explained that those
who have been vehemently assaulting
the idea of an American bar are acting
under false impressions, as no bar is
to be located there. The cafe will be
such as is found in all American cities.
Distinctive American food can be had
there and American beverages will be
served TO those dining.
The Sunday question has popped up
again in a condition athletic. Many Of
the most important international con-
tests have been fixed for Sunday and
the participation Of the Americans at
fetes is a matter of doubt unless the
events in which they are entered are
changed to another day.
American music and the American
musicians received an extraordinary
welcome at the exhibition this week.
Sousa's band made its debut and gave
daily open air concerts on the beautiful
FsDlanade des InValides. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that those per-
formances have been the feature of the
exposition the past week; and while
Americans are naturally delighted to
hear the familiar national airs and
popular marches and melodies, the in
tense enthusiasm displayed by the
French audiences ana the encomiums
they have passed on the music and it's
Interpretation have been most fiatter-
ing to Sousa's fellow countrymen.
Like American Music.
The climax Of enthusiasm has been
reached when on each occasion, during
the rendition Of the march THE Stars
and Stripes Forever" the assemblage
has stood bareheaded as old glory was
unfurled By two uniformed American
guards. The march is listened to in
silence, but upon its conclusion the
audience raises shouts, hurIahs, hats
going into the air and ladies throw
flowers upon The band stand This
demonstration is not confined TO Amer
leans, but is joined in by the French
Sousa.
This week has seen the Inauguration
of number of foreign pavilions, in
Guiding those Of Spain, Belgium,
Sweden, Japan and Denmark. The
German building win be inaugurated
on Monday next, but its semi-official
opening took place on Wednesday in
way thoroughly characteristic of the
Kaiser. Diplomats, high French CT
ficiais and exhibition functionaries
were present, each having received
telegram from Berlin, an invitation
signed by the Kaiser himself. Thus the
German emperor really gave a recep-
ton in his own pavilion on the banks
of the French Seine.
