WORLD AFFAIRS VIEWED BY OBSERVERS ABROAD
Il FAIR OUTLOOK FOR THE
FRENCH MINISTRY.
EsDecial by French Gable to The Tribune.

Paris, June 2-Yesterdays maiden sitting of
the Chamber OF Deputies indicates no sudden
changes in the parliamentary outlook. The in
crease of Socialists is partly neutraliZed by the
dissensions between the leaders Of the different
socialist groups, such MN. Jaures, Jules
Guesoe. Allemane and Millerand. NJ. Clemen-
ceau comes out stronger than the guar
dian Of order. because, being the father of a
family. as 1t were, of revoutionsts and intransi-
geant strikers, he spank his children
with severity that would not be tolerated by
an outsider. and especially from a conservative
minister At present the only rock ahead is the
wild extravaganza of Republican finance as
demonstrated by NJ. Poincarre Minister of that
department but it is extremely improbable that
the present chamber will heed his salutary
warning
STIRRED BY MADRID OUTRAGE
The indignation elected throughout France by
the attempt to assassinate the King of Spain
is especially profound among the Radicals and
Socialists. Among those who called to-day at
the Spanish Embassy to sign their names to a
expression of sympathy and congratulation for
the escape Of the King and Queen NM
Clemenceau. Millerand. Jean Jaures, Paul
Brousse. Basly, Viviani and other prominent
leaders of the groups of French Socialism. Al
fonso XIII, since his visit to Paris enjoys great
popularity in France. The Petit Parsien" the
Socialist organ, gives the keynote of the trend
Of feeling In an editorial saying that the King
OF Spain and his young bride had no need of
this trial to win universal sympathy but the
persistency shown by the anarchists in making
him the object OF their attacks will surely lead
to renewed marks of affection abroad and to
increased popularity at home.
INTEREST IN CHICAGO REVELATIONS.
American beef and the Chicago beef and pork
packing revelations arouse keen interest here
Investigations at Havre Cherbourg Nantes and
Marseilles show that comparatively little beef
potted meats and pork prepared in Chicago is
imported into France. Inquiries at the minis
tries OF War and Marine disclose the fact that
all the meat for the French army and navy is
by law required to be prepared In France The
leading Paris grocers state that of American
canned provisions consumed in France by far
the greater portions are salmon. Holsters, fruits
and vegetables, and that American hams and
bacon are practically prohibited. The present
revelations in Chicago have indirectly dsas-
trous effect on American industry, because they
strengthen the hand OF French legislators who
desire to boycott American salted or smoked
pork and other products not affected by the
Chicago disclosures but the popular mind fails
10 discriminate, and al transatlantic food Is put
on the black list
OPERATIONS FOR APPENDICITIS.
Professor Dieulafoy's emphatic protest against
the needless frequency of surgical operations
for appendicitis is indorsed by the Paris Faculty
OF Medicine and by the Academic des Sciences.
Professor Albert Robin, head of the clinic at
the Beaujon Hospital declares that in many
cases entero-coutts and typhlo-colitis have moth
ing in common with appendicitis although pro-
ducing similar symptoms Doubtless there are
many instances where operations for appendi-
cits are performed when the patient is suffer
ing from an entirely different rnalady.
DR.. Robin states that even in the early
stages Of Inflammation OF the appendix
medical treatment Is quite efTicacious with
out the intervention OF the surgeons knife.
Dr.. BIondel, head Of the scientific information
department at the Sorbonne expresses the same
views but holds out comfort to those who have
already been needlessly operated upon by say
ing that the authorities sIirnous in de-
clartng that the appendix is an organ absolutely
useless to anybody and that they are. at any
rate, safe from appendicitis.
MEDALS FOR AMERICAN ARTISTS.
Satisfaction is expressed In art circles at the
unusual number Of American artists, six alto
gether who have obtained medals at the Salon
this year, Louis Aston Knight. for his triptych,
Three Giant Cities, New York Paris, London"
a second class medal; Henry Tanner, also a
ond class medal for his 'Emmaus Christ; Per-
civaI Rosseau, OF New Orleans, a third class

medal TO Charles Warren Eaton Of Albany, for
his fog scenes; a third class medal to Robert
MacCameron, OF New York. for his genial in
door picture with figures in sculpture and a

eral Lawton.
THE KANN COLLECTION SALE.
Edouard Kann. who represents the heirs not
only OF his late uncle. Rodolph Kann. whose
collection OF paintings is under consideration for
purchase by foreign museums, but also of his
late father, Maurice Kann. who died a month
ago, states that the heirs wish the house to go
also with the collection. in accordance with the
testator's desire. This raises great difficulty,
because the stamp tax real estate sales
in France is 10 per cent of the value. conse-
quently the museum purchasing the lot and
selling would have to pay 20 per cent of the
total prices TO the French government for the
sales.
