I'AHIS , Dec. 20 - A bill submitting the
rranco-Amorican reciprocity treaty to tlio
approval of the Trcncli Parliament was In
troduced today In the Chamber of Deputies.
The govcinmont In an elaborate preimblo
tnakert a polht of setting forth "the kindly
disposition of the American government
which haa enabled the negotiations to bo
brought to ,1 successful conclusion , " and
expiates on the great Htlmulus the trpjty
will fl\o tn commercu between the two
countries
The prcnmblo gees on to explain that th"
treaty Is the result of two years' work It
nO that while pressed to retaliate against
the restrictions of the Dlngloy tariff th
government deemed u resort to illplonmc
prcferablo In view of "our tiadltlonal sjm
pathlcs for the republic of the United Sntc
nnd duo consideration for our true economl
Interests "
It then recapitulates the provisional nr
rangoments of May 10 , 1S98 , which opcne
the way for further negotiations , no Prone

In order to protect the Trench from form Id
able American competition.
"This rcHtilt , " sajs the preamble , "Is al
the moro Important "because " Mr Kasson
made pressing demands on behalf of Amer
lean agrimlture The rrcnch nmbissado
was not only able to resist them , but e\on
obtained useful reductions In t favor o
French agricultural products exported to
the United States , such as ollvo oil and
vegetables "
After particularly calling attention to the
Important fact that the concessions obtalnei
by Trance arc exclusive and should trc
mendously increase Frcnrh exports while a
the same tlmo the treitj is so arranged as
to prevent an American Invasion of Trend
markets , the preamble concludes as follows
'The government at the White House , li
feigning with Ui > this treaty , has shown Its
desire to reserve to Trench commerce thp
first fruits of the tariff concessions whlcl
the Dliigley bill authorized to bo grantee
to foreign powers
"This action gives the treaty nvaluo I

Only ono or two suggestions regarding
the appointment of a chief of police have
been made to the mayor and H appears thit
very little Interest is being taken In the
appointment of a now head for the police
department. Chief Carroll will hold on
until December 24 nnd no appointment will
bo made until after January 1 , no matter
who Is selected There Is some talk of holdIng -
Ing a mass meeting for the purpose' ot dis
cussing the lining of the vacancy and It may
materialize. Several well-known nnd ca
pable Omaha police officers have been men
tioned , but a local man will most likely
be chosen on account of the feeling supposed
to exist against Omaha.
Business men cannot afford to take tha
position , as it pays only $ G > a month. The
suggestion has been made that the mer i
chants chip in and raise a fund for the
I
purpose ot offering $100 a month to a good
man. Miles Mitchell , the head of the watch
men force at Swift's , has been mentioned
for the place. Mitchell has served as dep
uty sheriff and Is considered a good man for
the position provided ho will accept. It
appears to bo the desire of those interested
to secure the services of some man who Is
well known and In whom the people have
confidence.
The capture by Omaha detectives of Hugh
Landy and Roy Brown will most likely tend
to lessen the number of crimes committed
hero and the citizens are already beginning
to feel easier.
Matt Garner Is still safe In the county
Jail , and with the number of suspicious
characters now confined it is thought that
a stop has been1 put to crime for a while at
least. } 'I' '
One well-know a attorney said yesterday
that the system of police control was wrong.
"It may bo all right , " ho said , "for the
mayor ol small towns to have absolute con
trol of the police force , tout South Omaha
Is too laige for such a system. The charter
Is defective In this particular and plans for
a change In the charter are already being
: alked over. A year ago committees of bus
iness ! men and citizens worked over a new-
charter and corresponded with the mayor *
and councils of all other cltits in this
class. The suggestions made by South
Omaha did not moet with favorable con
sideration from the smaller cities and con
sequently the legislature failed to tjlve South
Omaha the rellof It prayed for "
It has about been agreed that a new
charter for a city containing from 15,000 to
25,000 Inhabitants will be asked for. At the
iresent time the Magle City contains about
10,000 people and the proposed charter will
eave considerable room for growth.
In connection with a charter and the
landllng of the police foico a police com
mission has been mentioned. A commission
of three a republican , a. democrat nnd a
populist to bo appointed by the governor
will bo acceptable to a great many. Such a
commission can , It la stated , bo maintained
or $1,000 a year a salary of $300 a year
o bo paid to each member and $100 a
year additional to the one chosen as sec
retary. With a commission In charge ot
the police force each applicant " \vould bo
compelled to stand an examination and give
