NEGROES CELEBRATE.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 1.-Thousands of negroes paraded here to-day in honor of the signing of the emancipation pro- clamation. The parade was marked by the greatest disorder. Captain J. c. Mcbride, former officer in the Unit ed States army, and now in newspaper business in Geogia, attempted to cross the line and was set upon and badly beaten. A street car conductor, who endeavored to run his car through the line, which extended about twelve blocks, also was painfully hurt and forced to leave his car. A photograph CT who attempted to take picture of the parade was run from his post by the negroes who objected to the taking of the picture. This was the first time in a quarter of a century that negroes have paraded on the day without mil itary escort, the negro companies hay ing been disarmed by an act of the legislature at it's last session.

APPREHENSION OF WAR
 WHOLLY WITHOUT CAUSE
GERMANY NOT SEEKING TO PROVOKE ONE WITH
 FRANCE.

Baron VOn Richthofen, the German
 Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Asks
 "What Could Germany Gain by a
 War"-Kaiser's Government, How
 ever, Admittedly Irritated Over
 Charge of Bad Faith in French Yel-
 low Book on the Moroccan Affair.
 Berlin, Jan. 1.-The German foreign office has been aware for some time that nervousness existed in France, both among the cabinet ministers and people, over the possibilities of a renew ed controversy with Germany Baron Von Richthofen, the foreign secretary, was informed a fortnight ago that the French cabinet had serious fears of Germanys intentions. The secretary replied to his informant, who was fresh from Paris, that such apprehensions were wholly without cause, adding
 What could Germany gain by a war;"
 Inquiries were made here by French financial interests last week as to the possibilities of Germany provoking a war with France, and German b ankers who are extremely well informed politi- cally replied that there was not the slightest indication that the German government contemplated aggressive action towards France. It was pointed out by one powerful interest that "a thousand reasons existed against war where one existed for it."
 Only presumption and vain glory" 1t was added, would suggest war when nothing moral or material could be gained by 1t, while all the solid consid- erations of commerce and orderly inter- nal developments, besides the thorough ly pacific policy of the emperor, are im- movably in the way of fighting for am- bition alone. The delicately adjusted system of production and exchange would be shattered by war to such an extent that no indemnity or territory could furnish compensation.
 The apprehensions in France appear to be due to reasonable certainty that Germany will oppose Frances position at the Moroccan conference, now only a fortnight off, and also to the feeling that Frances yellow book on Morocco went rather too far in accusing Ger many of assuming provocative atti- tude and charging her with bad faith. The French government, it is asserted here, is aware that these charges placed Germany in an unpleasant light, that the German government resents them and will reply to them firmly. This reply may lead to continued discussion in the press and between the public men of the two countries. British in- fiuence, 1t Is stated, in Berlin is known to be adding to the feeling of mistrust of Germany existing in France, espe- cially in the case of non-offlcia1 infiu- ence such as recent utterances of Sir Charles Dilke and the military corre- spondence of the London Times last week. But in every well-posted quarter here, diplomatic, financial and military, the statement is made that war be- tween Germany and France is incredi- ble, unless France has designs which so far have not been disclosed.

BINGHAM ABOLISHES
 THE "SHOO FLY" SQUAD
NO MORE SPYING ON MEN OF NEW FORK POLICE
 FORCE.

McAdoo's Successor Speaks Plainly and
 DeterminedIy to Inspectors and Cap
 tains-Tells Them That by the Nine
 Gods of War They've Got to Deal on
 the Level With Him as He Will With
 Them--A New Year and New Deal
 -Resignations Demanded.
 New York, Jan. 1.--William McAdoo to-day retired from the office of police commissioner, and his successor, Gen eral Theodore A. Bingham, formally assumed command of the police force of the greater city. General Bingham's first official act was to demand the immediate resignation of Commissioner McAdoo's assistant secretary, Mir. Stetler. Three minutes later a writ ten resignation signed by Stetler, and formally accepted by Mr. McAdoo, was handed to him. The new commissioner then turned to the inspectors and cap tains of the department who had been summoned to meet him. "We start a new year and new deal right here" he said, I've been sent for to come here, and do a certain piece of work. I'm going to do 1t. l havn't got any, thing against you to start on-no sus- picion-and we'll begin on the level. But by the nine gods of war, you've got to deal with me on the level, as I shall deal with you. There will be no spying on the men of this force. If you are manly men, sportsmanlike men, you'll appreciate that and treat me the same. Don't go back on the hand that stretch out to you"
 One of the first official acts of the new police commissioner was to abolish the 'shoo fly' squad and the vice squad. The former was composed of plain clothes men detailed to watch the uniformed force. The vice squad was the creation of the retiring com missioner, and was detailed to secure evidence against questionable resorts.
 Commissioner Bingham also accepted ttlO looi6idlioIi ol Y ilSL DSputy OOlH- missioner McAvoy to take effect ifn- mediately, and when he found the res- ignation of Second Deputy Farrell, in charge of the Brooklyn division of the force, had not been filed. sent note to him demanding his resignation forthwith This leaves the commits sioner free to appoint three new depu- ties, there having been one vacancy not filled by MT. McAdoo after the death of Third Deputy Lindsley.
