French Ambassador Speaks.
French Ambassador M. Jusserand.
replied to President Roosevelt in part
as follows:
When the treaty signed in Paris one
hundred wears ago, and by which the
area of the United States was to be
more than doubled, stood for ratifica-
ton before congress, there We're, con-
trary to what we might suppose, pro.
tracted discussions and objections of
many sorts. Some thought that the
title to the new acquisition was not a
sufficient one; others We're anxious on
account of the very magnitude of the
new territories, and expressed the fear
that the federal tie would be loosened
if extended to such remote and partly
unknown regions. Many were the crit
icisms, and long the speeches.
He recounted the part played in his
country in the early history of the
Louisiana territory and of the harmo.
NOUS negotiations that resulted in the
transfer of that great tract of land to
the American people. He declared
that speedy contamination of the
transfer was due to the sympathy the
French people had for the United
States and maintained that this feel
| ing still prevailed.
After the singing OF the halleujat
chorus from the Messiah" Senior Dor
Emelio de Ojeda, from Spain, minister
| to the United States, spoke and the ex
ercises were closed with the benedic
| ton by Rev. Samuel j. Niccolls.

GAMBLING
ISSTOPPIED

and employees of the places might at
tend the meetings, but, according to
the best information obtainable, the
closing was due to the fact that the
gamblers feared that the result of the
revival services would be to cause the
people who are now quietly winlling at
the open violation of the laws regard
ing gambling to take closer notice
OF conditions, perhaps investigate some
of the reports of big losings. This
might lead to turning of the worm"
and the wiser heads in the gambling
fraternity are reported to have consid-
cred it the wisest scheme to accept a
month OF idleness through choice
rather than be closed out of good
field entirely.
Revenues Will Suffer.
There is 10 doubt that during the
month of the "shut-up" the revenues
Of the city will fall considerably be-
low the level. The books OF the police
court show that several hundreds of
dollars have been collected from the
various gamblers each month and as
a matter OF course there will be none
OF this harvest during the temporary
cessation of business.
No April Fines.
The fact of the matter is that there
were no informations sworn out for
the monthly fine" during March
against any OF the keepers OF the reg
ularly registered disorderly houses
of the city. Although the March fines
were nearly all in by March 20 and
April is now at an END, the books o.
the police court show no collections
for the month just closed. 1t is rumor
ed, though not officially confirmed that
the monthly system of fining is to be
| dropped during the next two years
and the keepers OF places will not be
fined except occasionally.
