REVISING FRENCH CONSTITUTION.
Copying the Judicial System of the United
States.

Paris, Jan. 2S.-A proposition backed by Jules
Roche and other Deputies was introduced In
the Chamber OF Deputies to-day calling for a
revision OF the constitution. The main features
pf the measure consist in the Incorporation as
.ts first paragraph Of the declaration Of the
rights of man OF the constitution of 119l, and
Ia the conversion of the Court Of Cessation into
n Supreme Court. empowered TO pass on the
claims of citizens that their constitutional rights
have been violated by the legislative and eX-
ecutive branches OF the government
A second bill was introduced by Charles
Benoist providing for the establishment OF a
SUPREME Court intrusted with the protectlon or
rh4 rights and liberties Of citizens and organized
on the same lines as the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
At the conclusion Of to-day's sitting Deputies
Eadenat and ChspuIs got into a heated discus
zion. eliminating in personal encounter, IN
which NJ Cadenat badly scratched his adver-
rarv.s face The colleagues Of the two Deputies
interyened and separated them.

FRENCH CLAIMS FIRST LIEN.
Republic Wants to Share Equally with
Rlockading Powers.

Paris, Jan. 2S-The attitude of the govern
ment of France relative to the claims against
Venezuela is that the French claims are in the
nature of first lien on the customs receipts,
and that under no circumstances are they to be
subordinated to other claims. This view has
been communicated to the representatives of the
allies to Minister Bowen and to the State De-
partment at Washington. For this reason the
officials here express confidence that no arrange
ment will be made between Mr.. Bowen and
the allies contemplating giving priority to the
claims of the allies those of France and
other powers similarly situated. 1t is said that
40 per cent Of the customs receipts will probably
be sufficient to satisfy France the allies and all
the other claimants.
Previous to the meeting between Mr.. Bowen
and the representatives OF the allies France
secured an agreement with Venezuela that the
French claims shall receive treatment equal to
that given TO any other power The view is held
here that Venezuela and all others taking part
in the present negotiations should take cog
nizance of and carry out this agreement. The
French authorities evidently consider equal
treatment to be absolutely Indispensable.

FLATBUsH ASSESSMENT INVALID.
Court of Appeals Reverses Decision Of
Appellate Division.

For more than year property owners IN tne
Flatbush district of Brooklyn have been awaiting
the result of a test case which a committee OF
twenty-five representing several hundred taxpay-
ers has been conducting against the Board OF AS
SCISSORS and the Board of Taxes and Assessments
to review and set aside the large assessment levied
in 1901 on practically all OF the settled part OF
F1atbush for the Strengthening and paving OF Fiat
brsh-ave. The Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court last spring confirmed the assessment. out
the Court of Appeals has reversed the Appellate
Division upholding the contention OF the property
owners that the assessment is invalid and should
have been passed upon by the Board of Revision
The assessment covers the original cost or the
work more than 500 900, and interest accrued and
to accrue the amount Of about 100000 more IN
1890 when FIatbush county town, the work
was done. but the owners at that time procured the
passage of special legislation deferring its pay
n1ent until 1900 and then providing that the ex-
rense should be met in ten annual instalments In
May 1901. however, the New-York City Board OF
Assessors put the taxpayers an assessment
which placed about half Of the total cost and
accrued interest upon property off Flatbush-ave.,
some of it blocks away. The property owners have
now another chance to make their contention THAT
Flatbush-ave. should pay the cost CT its own i'm
IrCVement.
