While Certain Moderate Journals press Some issatisfaction—Jem Nmith Hissed by an Aque rinm Audience, Newspaper Opmment on Floquet. [Copuright 1989 by James Gordon Bennett) Paris, Nov. 14.—{New York Herald Cable—Special to e Bre. |—The election of Floquet to the p y of the chamber of deputies meets with the approvai of nearly the whole of the republican press, Certain organs of the moderato party, it is true, ox- press some dissatisfaction with the choice of the deputies, They insist that the choice of a vresident for tne chamber is an act that tias always been regarded as of political sig- nificance, and they do notadmit that the personal qualities and experience attributed to Floguet are sufci occupies too important a position among the radicals for it to be possible to consider him solely in the light of an expert in the direc- tion of parhamentary procedure, For this and oth: casons his election is looked upon by them as & concession on the part of the opportunists to the radical minority. and asa somewhat peculiar way of maugurating the moderate policy which the new repulican majority s expected to follow, A certaimn number of ors, those of the Boulangists and of a few consorvatives, were cast for Boulanger, but this anodync mani- festation attracted little notice. The general is not & member of the chamber aud votes cast for him were mneither counted or re- corded. Forty or fifty votes were cast for Leon Suy. A few ropublican journals profess to covsider this us a crushing defeat for the former minster of finance und for the mod- erato line of policy of which he has made himself the champion. Such an interpreta- tion, however, 18 absolutely ridiculous for those who advance it. You know very well that Leon Say was in no sense of the term a candidate for the presidential chair of the ohamber, The election of last. Tuesday only derives its interest from the fact that it is rightly or wrongly considered as an indication of the disposition and preferences of the repunlican majority in tho new chamber. The wot d'ordere with the republicans has for somo time been concentration. There exists so greata fear lest the radicais should oppose this desideratum that everything possible has been and is being done to keev them in good humor, aud it is partly perhaps 1o a desire to anticipate their wishes that Floquet owes his election. It1s hoped that this concession will induce them to sliow a little tractability and allow the opportunists to govern without opposi- tion, While concentration is undoubtedly going on in the ranks of the republicans, a marked secession has occurred on the right side of the chamber. . An terview which occurred the other day in Lousania Soliel with Jacques Piou, ono of the most influential of the deputies of the right and a member of thecommittee of twelve, is a sig- nificant indication of the new hine of volitical conduct that the more moderate conserva- tives are disposed to adovt. Piou starts with the fact that the receut elections have proved the majority of the uation to be op- posed to any cnauge of regime. He there- fore strongly urges his conservative col- loagues to abandon everything thut savors of a change in the form of government or of a revision of the constitution, aud to devote their efforts exclusively to the derense of conservative interests in the cancus held by members of the right.. Yes- terday Piou wade @ striking specch in support of his views on that point. He was opposed by Paul De Cassagnac, but unavail- ingly, for the caucus showed a décided lean- ing towards the opinions advanced by Piou. It would scem, therefore, that there is at present in the ranks of the cousorvatives elements from which & moderate party could be formed whose measure of opinion and policy would closely approximate to that of the moderate republicans, Nothing could ocecur that would work a more favorable in~ fluence on the stavility of republican insti- tutions than the formation of such a party, from which, by the way, the conservatives would have a good deal to gain and very little to lose, but its formation depends as much on the republicans as upon the con- sorvatives. It all depends upon whether the former are wise ewough to facilitate the movement which is undoubtedly taking place in the ranks of the latter towards the re- publie. T SMITH HISSED.

Ho counts upon the New York and New England aelegations and a majority of the Penosylvania delegation, He also fig- ures oa the Pacific slope, Montana and the Dakotas and a few scattering votes from tho south. It is not at all certain that New York will be solid for Reed, There aro indications that any effort to adopt the unit rule in the delegation will be defeated. The majority of the Pennsylvania delecation are for Mc- Kinley. The way things look now Mr, Reed will get about sixty votes on the first ballot. Mr. McKinley will follow with about forty-flve or fifty, and Messrs, Cannon and Henderson will come fairly behind with their strength in whe order indicated. There is talk, us indicated in these dis- patches last night, of & consultation between the western candidates, with a view to agree- ing on a programme of action in caucus, even before the caucus meets. Some kind of arrangement, it is said, will be entered into whereby there will be withdrawals of names in the caucus as soon as it developes that the tendency is toward Reed.

The civil service commussion 1s preparing for a congressional investigation. Two mem- bers of the commission atleast are trembling for straws have shown them which way the wind is blowing. Not long ago the charges made against a member of the commission stirred up that body and soon after a clerk who had a high position under the commis- sion was removed and secured a permunent place in Poiladelphia. When the news of an exposure came out oue of the commissioners sent missionaries to Philadelphia to try and convince the discharged clerk that it would be good for him to keep quiet. The ex- clerk’s reply was: “I never gossip to news- papers or idle people, When congress is ready for me to talk then I am prepared to tell what I know.” This let now light into the commissioner's already startled senses und it was said on excellent authority that orders were 18sued at once *‘to put the nouse in readiness for the visitors.”” That is, the clerks began to make ready for @ big con- gressional investigation, ‘Ihe fact that the president has taken a groat interest n tho matter and has been investigating for him- self also reuched the commission’s ears. Not long agoa correspondence between Presi- dent arrison and ex-Commissioner Idger- ton ensued, and 1u this some most interest- ing revelations of the inner dolngs of the commission were madge. One act of one commissioner, which was described in a cer- tan lettor, is said to have fully satisfled Presideny Harrison that something must be done, and he 1s suid to be just waiting for congress to assemble aud an order to inves- tigate passed. PHILADELPHIA’S BAD BREAK. Inquiry among the delegates to tho inter- national American congress in reference to the disrespectful treatment tendered to them at the Pniladelphia reception, the night be- fore last, corroberates everything tbat has been published in that direction in the Asso- clated and other press dispatches, The delegates say that they were actually taken to the Union League club rooms and huadled together in a rope enclosure like so many dime museum curiosities or wild men from Borneo and that thousands of citizens of Philadelphia dressed in their street cos- tumes, the ladies with their hats and bonnets on, marched past and stared at tho delegatds and theiriudies who were in evening dress,as if to satisfy their vulzar curiosity. They say that they were placed on exhi- bition and shown none of the courtesies ex- tended ofdinarily to guests. ‘I'ho Associated press dispatch from Phil- adelpbia published this morning quoting the North American newspaper as saying that Secretury 13laine intended w censure Sp 1 Agent Curtis for having taken the delegates and their ladies away from the recepiion when it was seen that they were merely to be iuspected as curiosities is without foan- dation; in fact, Mr. Curtis spent two hours with Secretury Blaine this afternoon, during which time he went over the entire journey of the special excursion, and there was ot o word of censure administered 10 him. Mr. Blaine is thoroughly satisfied with the result of the excursion. The action of Mr, Curtis is not only -gsmvad by ali of the delegates and their ladies, but” by the department of state, Philadelphians appear not to have come out very much ahead by their recep- tion or the complaint they entered wnen their guests were taken from their midst.

Nearly every southern repub- lican will offer a bill of this character, I'here is a very general sentiment here in favor of the federal government assuming control of all elections where congressmen are to be elected. This seutiment is formed without any definite idea as to what shupe the proposition shall take or how the luw is to be enforced after it is upon the statuto books or what the result will be when it 1s enforced. ‘The attitude assumed by President Harri- son when treatiog this subject in the senute 8 few years ago and in speaking of it after his nomination to the presidency, coupled with the expression he has made in his con- versations since wis inauguration, have led bis friends to expect him to take udyanced steps on the subject in Wis fortheoming mes- sue Lo COngTess, 1t nus been suggested by some men in con- gress gvho have bad a great deal of expe ence With legislation affecting sectional ques- tiows that it would be well for tie press and the people of the country to discuss the proposition to euact a federal election law for the purpose of enlightening congress.

THE PHESIDENT'S MESSAGE, President Harrison's message to congross 18 anticipated with o great deal more of in- terest than was any mescage under tho ad- ministration of Clevaland, for the reason that the republicans have both houses of congress, and whatever the president may recommend in the way of legislation 1s likely to be adopted in caucuses snd carried through both branches of congress, There i a beliof 10 the executive departments that tho president will recommend the extension of the civil service law to include chiefs of divisions. It is believed also that the prosi- dent will make some other rocommendations relating to civil servico roform, and that be may go oven further than chiefs of divisions in reaching upward in the ranks.

He COonsiders the Action of the Mis- souri and Kansas Commissioners Illegal — Atchison’s 'Presi dent on a Tour. An Old DiMm ty Revived, 14.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—The old difieulty in reforence to the shipment of lLive stock in car lots or by tho hundred pounds came up to-day in the meeting of the Western Freight association, It will be remembered that the railroad commissioners of Kansas and Missouri last summer made rulings that live stock must be shipped in car lots. These rulings gave the lines having the largest cars an immoense advantage and necessitated large expendi- tures for lurger cars by lines in Kansas and Missouri which had equipments of the smallor sized cars. Chairman Cooley, of the inter-state com- merce commission, has recently given an un- official opinion that such action by the rail- road commissioners was illegal. Pending an ofticial opinion by the inter-state commerco commission the roads propose to ignore the rulings of the state railrond commissioners and return to the 100- pound method of measuring shipments. ‘I'ne mutter was referred to Chairmen Midgley and Faithorn, they to confer with the Trans-Missouri ussociation with a view 10 contemporaneous action.

Cuicaco, Nov. 14.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The Central Trafiic association freight committes adjourned to-day. The most important business of the committee was the passage of a resolution this after. noon cailing a meeting December 12, at Chi- cago, of the auditors and the general froigat agents for the purpose of agrecing upon a method of through billing. This is the plan outlined three weeks ago, whereby freight may, in the territory of all associations par- ties to the agreement, be shipped on one bill of lading from origin to destination. The West- ern Freight association has already signified its willinguess to join in the movement,as has the Trans-Missouri association. When the plan is in operation any consignment of freight may be shipped from uny interior pownt eust of the Kocky mountains to any interior point west of the Allegbenies over the lines of any number of roads on the orig- inal billof lading. Although it will “prac- vically wipe out tie consideration of junction points, such as St. Louis and Chicago, it will on all freight so shipped nullify any ten- dency toward manipulation, There can be no back-billing, change of distination in transit, and any of the fifty means employed to munipulate rutes. It will likowise be an immense convenicnce to shippers, as, no matter where the sjipment goes, the rail- rouds assume all responsibility the moment the through bill of lading 18 made ont. The plan orignated with Chuirman Midgley, of the southwestern division ot whe Western Freight association, and was at once welcomed by the different chairmen and all the lines not suspected of manipulating rates. So far the known crooked lines have made no objection, Stauding committees for the rapid con- sideration of various subjects wers ap- pointed. It was decided that all applications for reduced rates on returned freight be de- clined, and thav the official classification be strictly maintained on all such shipmonts, A recommendation was alsos passed that uni- form tariffs be issued between points in the territory of the Central Traflc association and otber associations conngcting therewith and published, with the signatures of the chairmen of the various associations, The last chance of a further hitch in the able restoration of rates, through and , to the northwest was taken away by an unanimous concurrence 1n the plin as pro- posed by the conference of all lines inter- ested in Now York.
