TO SUCCEED MURPHY Prominent New York Politicians Have an Eye on Senatorship. SPECULATION ON LEGISLATURE Generally Conceded That Republi- cans Will Maintain a Majority. TAMMANY HEARS BAD NEWS See Specinl Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 25, 1898. The next New York state legislature, it is believed, will show republican losses and democratic gains, but the best inform- ed politicians are positive that it will show a republican majority on joint ballot and send to the United States Senate a repub- lean to succeed Mr. Edward Murphy. It is most too early to do any definite figur- ing. There are no holdovers in either branch of the legislature, and an entirely new membership is to be elected. The present senate consists of thirty-five republicans, fourteen democrats and one independent republican. This gives a re- publican majority of twenty. This major- ity the democrats expect, and the republi- cans practically concede, will be reduced. The democrats do not expect to overcome it entirely for the reason that a majority of the senators come from the country dis- tricts and democratic gains this rina against country fight will naturally be confined to the large cities. Democrats generally concede to the republicans a fair working majority in the senate. This would effectually kill any radical demo- cratic legislation, such as, for instance, a bill to repeal the Ratnes law in the improb- able event of the elevation of Judge Van Weck to the governor's chair. Situation in the Lower House. The present assembly or lower house con- sists of seventy-nine republicans, two in- dependent republicans, sixty-eight demo- crats and one national democrat. Thi gives the republicans a majority of eight. The democrats ar ining ev®ry nerve to capture the ‘There are con- servative politicians, however, who insist that while the republ majority in the ican senate may be as reased, the republican majority in the will not be ma- y_ altered, not show a re- publican gain. ‘The best estimates obtain- able give the ns a majority of about four in the eight in the assembly on joint baliot In the event of a democratic majority on joint ballot it is expected that Senator Mur- phy will be elected to succeed himself. In this connection it is well to say that there has been considerable “inside gossip to the effect that former Senator David B. Hill is not loyal to Senator Murphy, and that in a democrat is to be selected to succeed Murphy, certain Hill men from up the state will refuse to participate in the democratic caucu: This would give them a balance of power, and would allow them to name Hill or some démocrat friendly to the Sage of Wolfert's Roost. But all this is counting chickens before they are hatched, as the chances are a dozen to one that the democrats will not control the state legislature on joint ballot. Perhaps the most prominent candidate for the senatorship on the republican side is Chauncey M. Depew. That he is anxious to make the race is believed to be demon- strated by the fact that he is making an active canvass of the state with Col. Roosevelt. Joseph Cheate is belleved by some to be entitled to the nomination on account of his brilliant fight at the head of the Bar Association for the re-election of Justice Daly. Inasmuch as Choate was the candidate of the independents two years ago against Thomas C. Platt his election 1s not r_garded probable. Representative Bel- den, J. Sloat Fassett and Editor Butler of Buffalo have been mentioned in case the senatorship goes to some other section of the state. Tammany Speilbinders Récalled. It ig asserted on what appears to be good authority that the Tamany Hall orators who were sent out into the state with so many flourishes from the wigwam have been recalled. In short, with the exception of the Van Wyck tours and the “personal method campaign,” the democrats up state are to be left to make thelr own canvass. One of these returned Tammany spellbind- nd not less than 2 majority of twelve +ers is quoted as saying: “It's nothing but Roosevelt up the state, and when you tind any democrats they are dead sore on the old man’’—by the old man meaning Croker. From the same authority it is learned that reports have been received from the interior which indicate that Crocker’s up-State campaign for Van Wyck has sub- stanually collapsed. The mectings are said to be in the majority lifeless affairs, and that even the speaking tour of Croker’s candidate has not been a success. And then’ again 1t 1s said that the inside his. tory of the meeting of the Tammany exe- tive committes last night is-the tale of a smal affair. The reports of the district leaders were not encouraging. They had excuses for the falling off in the registra- tion in their respective districts, but they had not made any poll of the voters aud their claims were mere bluff and guess work. Democratic leaders from up the state are few and far between at the headquarters in this city. They have dis- covered that this is a Tammany cam- paign all over the state and that their services are not required. The Tammanf betting has been withdrawn and the demo- cratle campaign for the control of the State is asserted to be on the down grade all along the line. Hill Said to Lack Interest. And there is believed to be something else at work besides the unpopularity of Tammany, and that something 1s David B. Hill. Despite his long speech in Brooklyn, and despite his alleged offers of open-handed assistanee, it 1s freely asserted that Hill and his followers are lukewarm, if no worse. It is belleved that ro man of Hill's caliber could be treated as Hill was at Syracuse by Croker and tamely turn the other cheek. Besides, Hill is in a position to say, in the event of a democratic defeat—“I told you so.” It has developed that when Croker produced Augustus Van Wyck from his sleeve at the Saratoga conference Hill entered a vigorous protest about so much of “this Van Wyck business,” and warned Croker then and there that the people up state would not swallow it, but that the Tammany boss and the Brooklyn boss would regret it. —.____ WEEKLY HEALTH REPORT.

STARTED BY DEROULEDE French Deputy Caused the Street Riots in Paris Yesterday. .. He Arranged a Rival Meeting to the One Called by the Socialis: The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following account of the riots which occurred in the streets of Paris yesterday afternoon and the causes which led up to them: First of all the socialists arranged to hold a demonstration on the Place de la Con- corde in the afternoon. Paul Deroulede took this as a challenge, He accordingly gave his particular bellevers a rendezvous at the same place and at the same hour. Seeing a fight inevitable if the two parties met, the prefect of police made his plans to disperse both. Deroulede Starts the Tempest. Until about noon the Place de la Con- ecrde was almost deserted by the popu- lace. But there was a good display of armed force even at that hour. At every point were strong detachments of police and municipal guards. Before the Auto- mobile Club, the ministry of marine, and the big gate of the Tullleries were stationed companies of the Republican Guards. Large reserve forces were posted in several Places, in addition to bodies of cuirassiers and mounted municipal guards, who pa- troled the square in every direction. As 2 o'clock drew near groups of people began to gather. They were not interfered with. At first there were no fights or dis- turbances. For a time the people seemed to have gathered more to see a spectacle than anything else. The first manifestation was provoked by the arrival of Paul Deroulede in a car- riage. When the vehicle reached the middle of the Place de la Concorde it was sur- rounded by a shrieking, gesticulating crowd. Amid cries of “Vive I'Armee” Deroulede made a sort of triumphal procession, stand- ing up in the carriage, waving his long arms, creaming hysterically, “Vivo l'Armee.” The police for a time were pow- erleas to keep back the crowd. But when the entrance to the Pont de la Concorde was reached the cavalry succeeded in turn- ing the crowd, driving it back. Police Overpowered. At this moment Lucien Milleroye, editor of Patrie, came up on foot with another Pronounced anti-Semite deputy. Milleroye was wearing a deputy's scarf. No sooner was his tall figure seen draped with a red, white and blue sash than a howl went up, “Vive l'Armee, Vive la France, Vive la Republique,” volleyed ‘out along his path. The police were overpowered. The prefect issued a proclamation last night threatening with tnstant arrest any one who cried “down” with any institution. No provision had been made for those who might shout “long live’ any particular thing they fancied. So the police agents were rather nonplussed. A diversion was effected by the approach of Edourd Drumont, editor of the Libre Parole, a pronounced anti-Semite. Nearer and nearer swept a roar of ‘Down with the Jews!" swelling in volume as it rolled along. It was a proud moment for M. Drumont. He could not conceal his emotion. Stand- ing up in his carriage, he yelled himself hoarse with “Down with the Jews; long live the army.” Troops Clear the Squa: Finally all the deputies were inside the Palais Bourbon, while the crowd on the other side of the Plade’de !h Concorde was getting bigger and bigger as time went on. All along the Rue Royale the sidewalks and the middle of the street were crowded with a surging mass of people, good-temper- ed enough as yet, still with so much nerv- ous energy massed together that an out- break was probable. Again and again the Place de la Concorde was swept clear by mounted troops. They “The?” Menus - the notable State and social functions at home and abroad pronounce Apollinaris the beverage of the select world. : Apollinaris is singled out on them as the Table Water of Royalty, Princess and our own Ss i ” ORES ee N. ¥, Tribune, Served at dinners given by the QUEEN. . MY. Sun. aaa harassed and broke up the scattered crowd, and, naturally enough, more and more peo- ple were driven into the Rue Royale. The steps in the front of the Madeleine were black with people. Sightseers covered every inch of the terrace surrounding the church. Every window along both sides of the street were filled with heads. Every chair and table in the cafes was occupied. Thicker and more compact grew the crowd. Symptoms of irritation began to show themselves. The good humor was evidently evaporating. A cabman, who drove slowly by, had an idea to cry “Vive Brisson.” Immediately his vehicle was stormed and he himself was roughly han- dled. Jules Guerin and M. Mondot, another an- ti-Semite, got up a sort of side manifesta- tion around one of the fountains in the Place de la Concorde. Cries of “Long live the army; down with the Jews!” rang out. Police Officials Beaten. Leproust, a political commissary, strode forward to arrest one of the crowd, who yelled “Death to Jews!” The anti-Sem- ites at once fell upon the poor commis- sary and rained a shower of blows upon him with their sticks. A man in an open carriage, threading its way across the square, jumped down and got the bleeding man into his conveyance. The crowd then tried to upset the carriage, when M. Blanc, prefect, and M. Laurenta, general secretary to the director of municipal po- lice, arrived on the scene. Several of the aggressors seemed to think they had explained the affair when they had told M. Blanc that Leproust was “the same Jew who had cried ‘Down with France.’ ” The wounded man was assisted to an im- provised hospital in the Tuilleries gardens, where it was found that his injuries were not serious. He insisted upon returning to his post. Soon afterward he recognized some of his assailants in a group of shouting men and had them arrested at once. Jules Guerin and twelve or so others were also arrested, as they insisted upon doing their utmost to excite the crowd with their inflamma- tory cries. Bonfires Started. Orders were given to keep the Place de la Concorde permanently clear and all ave- nues and streets leading to it barred b lines of police. Then a man in the Rue Royale began to make a funeral pyre of a bundle of obnoxious papers. The idea took immensely. At a dozen places papers were bundled from windows and set ablaze, while excited patriots danced around them, whooping “Down with traitors! Long liv the army!’ Others thrust paper into the flames, and when it was alight ran along with it until the impromptu torch had burned itself out. A company of cuirasslers was sent along the Rue Royale to drive back the people from the foot paths and into the boule- vards. The work was difficult. Horses shied at the bonfires and pranced around. Slowly the human flood was driven sullenly into the wider channel of the boulevards. One thing was made clear—the affection in which the army is held by the people. Everywhere the troops were greeted with cheering. Every one is asking, “What next?” Is this the end or only the beginning? ——_+-e+____ Cheap Publicity.

MORE SPACE FOR AMERICAN EXHIBITS + Progress on the Grounds and Buildings. Y comPARED WiTH CHICAGO salsa brah cie. 5 Mr. J. E. Powell, a member of the staff of the United States board to the Paris exposition, has returned to his desk at the Treasury Department, after a trip to Paris. He went over to investigate the electrical Part of the exhibit to be mede by the United States. Speaking of the interest France takes in the part to be taken by the United States, Mr. Powell said: “Interest in France in the part which will be taken by the United States tn the exposition of 1900 is extremely great, and the unavoidable delay in the acttve work of our country’s preparation for the same, occasioned by the untimely death of Spe- cial Commissioner Handy, has been the cause of much concern on the part of the officials of the exposition, lest the short time remaining before the opening of the exhibition should prove insufficient for the preparation of such an exhibit as it was believed the United States is both destrous and capable of making. This apprehen- sion, ho has been speedily relieved by the arrival in Paris of Ferdinand W Peck, the comm general of the United States to the exposition, accom- panied by his staff, comprising the assist- ant_commissic Prof. Woodward, late of Columbia . New York: the direct- or of affa’ Paul E. Biackmar of Chi- cago, and th 2 of the various depart- ments of exhibits, constituting the work- ing force of the exposition commission. “Shortly after their arrival they were received by the American ambassador to France, General Horace Porter, and sub- sequently duly presented to the various administrative officials of the exposition. The reception also accorded Mr. Peck by the members cf the French cabinet and the commissioner general of the expost tion, Monsieur Picquard, was extremely cordial. There is a sincere desire on the part of the French officials to establish the most amicable and cordial relations with the American con.missioner general and his staff. Increased Space Granted. “One of the principal objects of the com- missioner general's visit to Paris at this time was to sec if possible, an increase in the space allotted the United States. The demand for space great, and any disturbance of allotments already made 80 likely to cause emburrassment and compli- cation, that little encouragement of any success in this direction was held out to the commissioner general before his arrival. On the way over a memorial to the expos tion authorities was prepared by him, set- ting forth the requirements of the United States in the matter of additional space and the reasons therefor, and this was pre- sented t> Monsieur Picquard by the com- missioner general at his first interview. Additional reasons were subsequently ad- duced, and of so satisfactory a character that the original allowance for space has been increased from 175.000 to 208.900 square feet. This 1s regarded in Paris as an extraordinary concession, and is due to the energetic action and persistent yet dip- lomatic policy of the commissioner general. “It fs confidently believed, also, that per- mission and space for the erection of a separate United States butlding will also be received. The purpose in its erection is to provide therein state headquarters, so that citizens of the United States visiting Paris during the exposition will, upon their arrival upon the grounds, find in the build- ing referred to rooms assigned to their respective states, in charge of persons therefrom, who will furnish them with the information and assistance so desirable up- on occasions of this character. This, for obvious reasons, will be a very valuable feature. “In the matter of headquarters or offices for the commission, It was suggested upon their arciva! that it might be desirable to secure them either upon the Place de I'Op- era, or in close proximity, as it constitutes one cf the central points of Paris, where the street life is both interesting and popu- lous, and where any display in the way of exterior decorations and advertisement would compel attention. - But this locatiog being about two miles from the location of the exposition, it was considered more de- sirable, from a strictly business point of view, to locate the office in close proximity to those of the administration of the expo- sition, and by great good fortune a very desirable suite of reoms at an extremely reasonable rental has been obtained at No. 2) Avenue Rapp, on the south side of the Seine, about one block from the headquar- ters cx the French administrative officials. Here detailed plans of the space allotted the various departments of United States ex- hibits are being prepared by the commis- sion, the general work conducted, strict business hours maintained and a daily gen- eral meeting of the staff held. On their re- turn to this country they will, it is believed, have ready all the necessary data and in- formation requisite to furnish proposed ex- hibitors for their guidance. “The French officials seem desirous to assist in every possible way, afford every facility and show an active interest in the progress made. “On the 28th of September the entire of- ficial staff, both administrative and execu- tive, and also the principal architects, art- ists and engineers of the exposition, gave a formal reception at the exposition ground to the American commissioner and staff, conducted them through the various buildings in course of construction, and ex- plained in detail the general arrangement and special features of their construction. “In regard to the concern which has focnd expression in some quarters that in- terest in th? eastern section of our coun- try may be unintentionally discriminated against by reason of the commisston hav- ing its headqvarters in Chicago, I think I can confidently state that no just grounds exist for any apprehension in Unis diree- tion. I know that the commissioner gen- eral is desirous of extending to every re- 5) sible firm, corporation, concern or in- d val desi of making an exhibit the utmost facilities without regard to geo- graphical or sectional considerations, hav- ing solely in view that which will best rep- resent the particular class of cxhibit which it is proposed to make, be most creditable to our country and best advance the inter- «sts which the appropriation made by Con- gress is intended to further. Preparing the Buildi@gs and Grounds “Rapid progress is being made in the preparation of the exposition’s grounds and buildings. Some of the lattar, especially the Palais des Beauxarts and tne Palais de'l Industrie, are to be permanent build- ings, and, from the models which I have seen, are to be of extraordinary bzauty. The proposed new bridge across the Seine, connecting the exposition grounds, which lie on each side, and which {s to be named in honor of Czar Nicholas IIT, it is ba- lieved will be the finest bridge architectu- rally in the world. Certainly, portions af models of the same now in the workshops indicate that it will be. “I do not think the location of the pro- posed exposition as advantageous for the securing of the gencral architectural effect as that at the world’s fair in Chicago. The blue waters of Lake Michigan :nafe a back- ground for the great white structures of that wonderful city incomparably mors beautiful than anything that the world elsewhere can afford, and the memory of that vision of erchitectural beauty will re- main ineffaceable because it will remain unexcelled. “The coming exposition will doubtless ex- ceed that in Chicago in some important re- spects, notably the Mne art exhibits. But in this particuiar I am informed by sozae ccmpstent authorities that one of the great- est surprises in store for the French will be the great progress made in art during the last ten years in the United States.” The Proposed Lafayette Memorial. “How is the contemplated Lafayette me- mcrial viewed in Paris?” “The proposition by the commissioner general to erect a monument in Paris to the memory of General Lafayette is one that has both surprised and delighted French- men.

R.W.Walker &Son Sy27-1att 1006 F N.W. the commissioner general and his staff was to pay a formal visit of patriotic respect to the tcmb of Lafayette in the little ce tery of the Convent of Picpus, where in one corner lie the remains of Lafayette, his wife and children. The idea that the mon- ument was to be the gift of the school chil- dren of the United States has added won- derfully to the interest felt in the matter by the French, and I conceive it to be an extraordinarily happy suggestion and one which will be prolific of great good in in- creasing the amity which should exist be- tween our two countries by the perpetua- tion of the fame of the chivalrous young marquis. It is proposed to unveil the monument on United States Gay, July 4, 1900, and it will be the occasion forthe gathering in Paris of all Americans in Bu- rope at that time. “It is needless to say that the orator of that occasion will have the opportunity of the century. The monument will cost about $250,000." ——— Hotel Arrivals. Arlington—J. J. McWilliams, Buffalo, N. ¥.; R. P. Smith, Hartford, Conn.; A. Fowl- er, New York; G. 8. Niebery, Bangor, Me. Metropolitan—J.
