ACT NOT IMPORTANT
SAYS PARIS PAPERS
II Was Merely a Fdnt S iC Method
OF Insulting the President
Press Suggests Thtt
Government Take
Action.

Paris, Dec. 26.-The entire press,
with the exception of reactionary
newspapers, consider the attack yes
terday in the streets of Paris on Pres
ident Fallieries by an unemployed
waiter named Maths, who said that
he only tried to pull the presidents
beard, as a fantastic act without po-
litical importance. "If the cause of
the Bourbons and Bonapartists was
not as dead as doornails such a pitt
ful exhibition of impotent fury would
completely discredit them" voices the
general opinion.
Nevertheless, some Republican or
sans express the opinion that the
government should do something to
put an end to the campaign persist
emily conducted by a small group of
militant royalists, aided by clerical
organizations, with the object of
keeping public opinion inhamed Re-
cent disorders at the Academy of
Medicine, while originating from a
genuine dissatisfaction with the new
system of examination, is attributed
largely TO this same royalist and cler-
ica1 agitation, which some time ago
brought about the resignation of Prof.
Thalamas, whose offense consisted in
writing the history of Joan of Arc
to prove that the stories of her div
'ug Inspiration were mere legends
devoid of any historic foundation.
The mental caliber of Maths, who
attacked the president yesterday is
illustrated by the fact that he was
swindled a few weeks ago by a mat
rimonial advertisement. He gave up
his entire savings of 1900 under the
impression that he was going to
marry a woman of great wealth.
The attack on the president was
made while he was taking a morning
stroll near Rue de L'Etoil in company
with NJ. Ramondon, his secretary, and
Col. Lasson military attache at the
Elyze palace. MATHS had been ly-
ing in walt and as the president ap-
preached, he jumped on him from
behind and threw his arms about
Falliere's neck in an effort to grasp
his beard.
The presidents companions over
powered Maths and turned him over
TO policemen who had been following
the party. Beyond a small scratch
on one ear the president was unin-
3ured.
Maths made no resistance, telling
the policemen that he was unarmed
and that he merely had tried to pull
the presidents beard. When search
ed a number of royalist documents
were found on his person. His house
was also searched and a quantity of
royalist literature was found there.

The exercises were impressive by
the participation of heads of each

addresses by President Roosevelt,
Secretary Root, Ambassador Nabuco

A cabled sentiment expressing the
approval of each president was read.
The new building is the joint prop

hension.
At the outset, on behalf of all of
us wish to thank Mr.. Carnegie for
his generous gift--a gift to all the
nations of the New World, and
therefore pre-eminently fitting as
coming from one who has SO sim
cerely striven for the cause of peace
among nations; for while we have
yet a long path to tread before we
can speak with any certainty of the
day when wars shall cease from the
earth. we of this Western Hemi-
sphere, by movements such as that
symbolized by this building. have
taken great strides toward securing
permanent peace among ourselves.
In the next place, as president OF
this republic I greet the representa-
tives of all our sister republics to
the south of us. In a sense, you are
our elder sisters, and we the
younger people, for you represent
more ancient civilization on this
continent than we do. Your fathers,
the Spanish and Portuguese explor-
ers, conquerors. lawgivers and COM
monwealth builders, had founded q
flourishing civilization in the trop-
les and the south temperate zone
while all America north OF the Rio
Grande was still unmapped wilder
