KING EDWARD IN PARIS.
GREETED WITH TUMULTUOUS
 DEMONSTRATION
Scattered Shouts of "Fashoda'' and "KruSer" Lost fn lhe Tremendous Volume of Appiause-Vast Crowds Fill the Boulevards and Struggle to Gain the Vantage Points-Meeting Be- tween King and President-Cisy a Eferu
Fiery Spectacle at Night,

Paris, May liking Edward arrived here early this afternoon and was &C., corded a hearty reception by republi- can France. His majesty's welcome at the Dauphine railroad station by Pres ident Loubet and the chief officers of state, and his drive through the ave- nues, the Bois de Boulogne and the, Champs Elysees, presented continu- ous procession of brilliant spectacles. Everywhere the populace gave the king an enthusiastic greeting, the demon strations at the Place de L'Etoile and the Place de La Concorde becoming tu- multuous. King Edward, smiling and lowing, showed the keenest apprecia- tion of French goodwill. Only scatter ed shouts of "Fashoda" and Kruger" were heard and they were lost in the tremendous volume of demonstrative approval.
 Vast crowds filled the boulevards from the early hours, people struggling to gain the vantage points along the route to be followed by the royal pro- cession.
 On the square fronting the railroad station was surging mass of human ity. A detachment of the First Cuir- assiers, in showy uniforms with gilt tering breastplates and helmets and waving. plumes, held back the crowds. The front of the station was elaborate ly draped with crimson and gold hang ings, and the interior was transformed into superb reception room, hung with gobelin tapestry, having crimson and gold furnishings, and decorated with flowers and plants. On the bal cony was stationed the band of the Re publican Guard, in stunning blue and white uniforms.
 President Loubet, surrounded by the cabinet ministers, the presidents of the senate and the chamber of deputies, the grand commander of the Legion of Honor, the military and naval dignita- ries and the diplomatic corps, presented an imposing appearance. s~
 As the train entered the station the trumpets sounded a royal salute and the band played God Save the Queen" !" King Edward descended from his car and advanced slowly and alone, smiling and saluting. He wore the scarlet uni form of a British field marshal, his chapeau topped by waving red and white plumes and his breast adorned with various insignia, including the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Presi- dent Loubet stepped forward and grasped the kings hands.

Its Consum mmatiom Now Said to he Ont
 of Question.

of Question.
 Washington May Philip Mix Mey- CT, a prominent banker of Copenhagen is in Washington for a brief visit. He is quoted as saying that the sale of the Danish islands is out of the question now. The people of Denmark feel that theirs is too small a country to loose her hold on her West Indian colonies, though they might not mean a great deal to country the. size of the United States, commanding enormous resources within the strictly domestic boundaries.
 His kinsman, Jacob Lachmann, a re- tired business man, who accompanies him, was one of a royal commission sent out to investigate conditions in the Danish islands. He believes that they can be made very productive, and will one day yield large revenues to pay. for their development. MT. Lachmann is now a resident of Sweden. He says that the Swedish emigrants to the United States find that they do not bet ter their condition much by the change, as the increase in wages iss nearly or quite made up by the increased cost of living here.

was also bouglt from the Hubbard property nearby.
 The. new layout crosses Chapel street at grade and on practically the old line, but from Chapel street west the grade was raised some five feet and imrme- diately east of the terminus a cut of some six feet was made thus eliminat- ing two heavy grades.
 The double tracking and new layout ends about, 200 feet easterly of the Mer- win beach restaurant at which point the single track of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company begins as a con- tinuation of the line to Milford and Bridgeport.
 Some idea of the undertaking may be gained from the fact that in making the improvement 0,0O0 to 50,G00 cubic yards of filling have been used All the grad- ing has been done by the company''s own men. James Dow, the roads roadmaster, has had charge of the con- struction work under the personal SUI pervision and direction of Engineer John K. Punderford, who purchased all the rights of way and had general SUI pervision of the construction work.
 There is no more beautiful ride in the state than tl.is new road will. afford. Running along the shore when it leaves Savin Rock one is given a much im- proved view over the old layout, of the harbor and sound. As the car spins along from Waverly Grove one is almost constantly in sight of the mouth of the harbor and the sound. Further along by a turn Of the head, if going toward Woodmont. one can look clear up the harbor the east shore glirnmering in the sunlight. The palisades at Fort Hale park are plainly seen. as are other well known features of interest including the old lighthouse and the new. On the right is a pleasant view of the country filled with forests and farms and revealing all the picturesque scenes for which New England is well known. When the Derby road is in op- eration one will be able to go to Bridge port by the shore line returning by way of Milford, Derby and Ansonia, through the country thus making an unusually varied and enjoyable trolley expedition. 54

RELIANCE COULD NOT GO OUT.
Wind Too Strong Yesterday for the
 Cup Defender.

New Rochelle, N. Y, May 1.-Despite his desire to continue the ''tuning-up'' of the Reliance, which arrived here early this morning from Bristol, R. l., MT. IseIin was compelled to defer it to- day. There was little moderation of the sharp gusts that swept across the sound, so the Reliance swung at her moorings all the afternoon. The crew was busy about her decks, but her sails were under cover. MT. Iselin evidently did not regard it safe or wise to expose the new and still untried craft to so se- were test as to-day's conditions made necessary, but manifested an intention to guard against such accidents as have befaIlen Shamrock III. and attended the early trials of previous cup defenders.

 Toward Manciiuria.

London, May 1.-Foreign Secretary Lansdowne announced in the House of Lords to-day that he had received ver- bal assurances from the Russian am- bassador in regard to Manehuria.

The Russian ambas- sador here assured Lord -Lansdowne that Russia was not desirous of exclud- ing foreign consuIs from Manchuria, of obstructing foreign commerce or of mo- nopolizing the use of the ports, as she considers the development of foreign commerce tobe one of the main objects for which she constructed railroads in that part of the world.

sources and the statute Offering an alter
native choice between the two classes OF
work it is easy to see how the Commission
ers have come to adopt their present policy.
The advocates of more compulsory work
within the central part of town can attain
the desired end by securing an amendment
to the law either requiring that all the
money appropriated under this head shall
be used to replace old walks, or dividing
the fund into portions. one for replace
ments and the other for new constructions.
Until Congress so divides the fund, the
Commissioners indicate that they cannot
reasonably be expected to turn a deaf ear
to those citizens who are willing to pay
their share of the cost of new walks in or
der to mulct the property owners in the old
city on the strictly compulsory plan for
new walks for which they not only do not
ask. but against which they earnestly pro-
test. This Is without regard to the right
eOusness of the position Of these unpro-
gressiye property owners. AS long as the
law reads as at present they are within
their strict rights whatever may be the
feelings of a foot-sore public, until their
stubbornness results in actually dangerous
conditions, in which case the Commits
siOners. as they have done in many recent
instances, will step in and require improve
ments.
The deplorable condition of many of the
old sidewalks is known to all Washington
ians. Legislation compelling their i'm
provement specifying definitely and clearly
the method and terms on which the work
is to be DONE and accompanied by an appro-
priation ample for the purpose. is one of the
capitals most conspicuous needs.

bought by wholesale by the opposition;
which is so grave a reflection on both the
alertness and the integrity of his party
that he certainly does not mediate ever
running for Office again. And, lastly, he
asserts that this bribIng Of men who should
have supported him was made all the
easier because no democratic newspaper
was on guard. when. a matter OF fact,
the leading democratic newspaper of the
state. and one of the most influential party
organs in the Ohio river valley, championed
his cause in double-leads every day.
Clearly. politics Is not Mr.. ingalls, forte.
1t is probably lucky for him that his fellow.
citizens did not call him from his business
Office. where he presides so ably over the
destinies Of a great railroad. to wrestle with
public affairs and come in daily contact
with ward bosses and their heelers. 1t is
not every man who can duplicate in public
life the success achieved In private life;
and failure to do that is always the most
notifying of failures. 1t makes the man
who fails feel very poor. indeed.

The day after his defeat in the Cincin-
natl mayoralty race Mr.. NJ. E. Ingalls, ex-
pressed himself in terms of such serenity
and good nature that The Star compli-
mented him the deliverance. He ac-
cepted the result very gracefully. and talked
like philosopher and a statesman. But
he has changed his tune, and now puts up
the following plant:
ION looking over the figures I am sure
received the railway and wOrkingmen vote.
We did not get quite many republican
votes because of state and national issues.
But We got enough republican votes to
have elected our ticket hands down If
democratic camp followers had not sold
out and there had been an honest vote in
the sixth, seventh, eighth and eighteenth
wards.
There was a majority against us in
those wards of 5000 when. In fact, the re-
publicans should not have polled more than
5000 votes. There were 5000 to 5000 lille
gal votes. which left majority of 10000
against us, made possible by the betrayal
of 5000 democrats, purchased and paid for.
1t was made easier to get democratic votes
because we had no democratic ticket or
democratic newspaper" -------
This won't do. 1t sounds for all the
world like the bilious afterthought of a poor
politician. who has been numerically
"guyed" by his cronies Mr.. Ingalls, met
with a severe disappointment HIS friends
had persuaded him that a reform wave was
rolling. and would carry him to a high
place. He prepared himself for the eleva-
ton: but. 10 and behold, there was no
swell on the sea" at all His friends had
totally miscalculated the appearance of
things.
Mr.. Ingalls, complains Of state and ma
tional issues. They were introduced into
the campaign by his own admirers, who
tried to win votes for him by pointing out
the opportunity to make both q subernato-
rial and presidential, candidate, out, of
him. But the people were not impressed.
He charges that democrats voters were
