PARIS news LETTER

Paris. Dec. o. The government's
tobacco monopoly brought a net in
come to the state last year OF $105,-
0O0, 1000, or the largest return since the
foundation Of the monopoly 102 years
ago. This vast profit was made out
OF q capital Of about $4,000, 900, or
about one-third the capitalization of
the lately dissolved American Tobacco
Co.
Visitors to France are inclined to
criticize the quality Of tobacco sup
Piled them, principally because they
are unable to find their favorite
brand such as are on sale at home.
But as FTenchmen have no knowledge
of tobacco in any form, except such
as Is supplied them by the govern
ment, they are quite content with the
Qualities OF tobacco although they
may grumble at the prices. Much of
the tobacco smoked in France is
grown In the country iteslf. The gov
eminent keeps a sharp eye on all rails
ers of the leaf. and the whole Of the
crop must be sold to the state at a. fair
appraisement.
Twenty great factories work UP the
whole Of the tobacco manufactured in
France, and the right to retail Is
Jealously guarded by the state. Per-
m1ts to open tobacco shops are usually
granted to widows of officers of the
army and navy or Of other employees
or the government. The widows usu-
ally lease their permits to other per-
sons in consideration Of fixed annual
payments. The price Of q cigar Of a
given quality is the same all over
France, and the same IL one cigar or
a thousand are purchased. The hotels
and restaurants buy their cigars at
h same prices as they are sold to
the general public, but they add from
SO to 100 per cent as their own profit.
There r 47.250 authorized tobacco
planters in France, who grow about

Governor, However, Feels Sure
He viii Be Acquitted by
Impeachment Court.
ENEMIES ARE JUBILANT
Recognition of GIynn as Legal
Acting Executive Regarded
as Sign of Weakening.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept 20.-William
Sulzer, the impeached Governor of
New York, was reported to-day to be
on the verge of a physical collapse
Worry over the bitter political fight
which Tammany Hall is waging
against him, coupled with anxiety
over the outcome Of the impeachment
trial caused the Governors health to
break
A close friend of the executive de-
clared to-day that there is no truth
in reports that Mr.. Sulzer will re-
sign under fire. This person, who in
timated strongly that he spoke for the
Governor. said that Mr.. Sulzer feels
sure that the impeachment court will
acquit him of the high crimes and
misdemeanors" charged against him.
Governor Sulzer believes that his
foes in the Senate lack fifteen votes
Of the number necessary to find him
guilty
It is learned that the Governor
wrote a long statement to Judge d.
Cady Herrick, his chief counsel re-
fusing to allow him to give it out.
As a result of Mr. Suffers acknowl-
edgement of Lieutenant Governor
Glynn as the legal acting Governor
the anu-Sulzer Legislators were ju-
bilant. They declared that Mr.. Sulzer
is fast weakening and that if It were
not for the support of Mrs. Sulzer and
his lawyers the Governor would not
undertake to fight against his politi-
cal adversaries.

Fiery President Says He Will Dis
solve Congress Unless Chamber
of Deputies Confirms Appoint
ment of Minister of Instruction.
Recall of Felix Diaz Is Regarded
as Shrewd Political Move to
Put Himself Back in Chair.
Stormy Session Is Probable.
Special Cable to The American.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2O.-Presi-
dent Huerta to-day threatened to dis
solve Congress and postpone the ma
tiOnal election unless the Chamber Of
Deputies confirmed his appointment
Of Senior Tamariz to the Ministry of
Public instruction.
lr 4 message Huerta declared that
he had reforms in mind for the en-
lightenment of the people, and he felt
confident that Tamariz Is better suit
ed than any other man to carry them
out.
The recall of Felix Diaz was de-
clared to be a shrewd political move
on Huerta's part. 1t is reported tina:
Huerta viii appoint Diaz Foreign
Minister to succeed Senior Gamboa.
Under the Constitution a President
Of Mexico can not succeed himself
If Diaz is appointed Foreign Minis
ter and Huerta resigns to be can
didate for reelection, Dlaz would
succeed to the Presidents chair in
the interim.
Consequently Diaz could not be
elected President because he could
not legally succeed himself On the
other hand, Huerta could be elected
and could constiutionally take his
place in the National Palace.
A stormy session of the Catholic
party is looked for tomorrow, when
its convention will be held here.
