PARIS, Sept. 1. Over 600 German of ficers have visited the Paris exposition since April last, without tho slightest hlndranco on the part ot tho French au thorities. There has been some bitter comment regarding tho dlfferenco between the treatment of German officers visiting France and that of French officers desir ing to revisit Alsace-Lorraine. Tho only formality required of tho German officer.? Is that they register themselves nt the bureau of the military governor of Paris. One officer of very high rank and live su perior officers were among the visitors. The remainder of tho COO were muJoM, captains and lieutenants. They began to arrive soon nfter Kmpcror William's noto In llio Itelehsanzclgcr. recommending them to visit the exposition. Against tho com plaisance of the French authorities, tho Parisian press culls attention to tho ex asperating treatment of French officers In the annexed provinces. A case Is cited whero a French officer was refused permis sion to enter Alsace-Lorraine to bid fare well to his dying mother. A number of requests to enter met with refusals. It Is said, and even where they ure eventually granted, tho formalities arc Interminable, often rendering tho position unacceptable. A former mujor In the French army writes to tho papers, staling that he recently applied for authorization to enter Alsace Lorraine, pointing out that he was 03 years of age und had retired from tho army and wished, before he died, to see his aged sister again and to make n pilgrimage to tho grnvo of his father and mother In the cemetery nt Colmar. The reply ho re ceived was an abrupt refusal. Why (tie .Mn tin Kick. Tho Matin, commenting on this, says: "This means that tho famous circular re garding the abolition of passports Is noth ing but a snare, Issued with the object of winning a welcomo for German officers visiting the exposition, while secret orders are given tho Alsatian officials to Increase tho severity of the regulations regarding tho uppllcatiqiiB of French officers to visit tho lost provinces." It Is admitted, however, that every facil ity Is offered Frenchmen for visiting other parts of Germany. In fact, tho umlablo at tention of German functional lea is de scribed ns embarras3lng. Tho Official Medical Bulletin this week reveals a disquieting sanitary situation lu Paris. Statistics show that typhoid fever prevails In nu almost epidemic form. There, wore reported, from tho beginning of tho year to August 13, 3,118 cases, ot which r6$ resulted fatally. This Is a con siderable Increnso of tho records of pre vious years. Paris Is never froo from this dlsense, but until 1898 tho number of cases for tho corresponding period did not ex ceed 700. Moreover, the tlgurcs for tho last few weeks of the present year show a perceptlblo increnso over thoso of tho earlier periods. Tho prevalcnco and spread of typhoid nre duo entirely to bad water. One of tho sources from which Paris Is furnished with wuter Is known to bo In fected with typhoid bacillus, though tho water from all the others is perfectly pure. Tho authorities, however, declare that they aro compelled to utlllzo tho contaminated sourco because tho others aro Inadequate. Tho publication of these alarming statis tics may, however, spur tho responsible authorities Into booking fresh sources. Meanwhile, Parisians aro roconimended to boll tho water they Ubo or to drink only mineral waters. French Hotter ririiseil. The Chinese situation, ns viewed In Paris, has assumed a brighter aspect. Tho practical ttnnnlmlty of the United States, France. Russia and Janan In thn desl rn I n maintain the Integrity of tho empire Is regarded as disposing of any question of partition. England's nosltlon Is unilniibt. edly iih strongly favorable to the foregoing policy ns that of uny power mentioned, but It Is more pleasing to France that uonus ot accord should bo shown between the United Stntes, Franco and Russia, rvd that theBO nations should appear to no tho controlling Inllucnres toward peace. America's wish to lmvo LI Hung Chang act as go-bolween In the negotiations Is well liked, although It is wished that ho nrn. duco tangible evidence that he Is acting tor tno central power. In fact, Franco Is ready to treat with nny plenipotentiary able to furnish nroncr eredentl sla's proposal to withdraw tho troops from roKin coincides with tho feeling cutei talned in Paris In favor of u conciliatory policy.

Sept. 1 Hon. W. J. Hryan, democratic candldato for tho presidency, made his second visit of tho campaign to Indiana today. Ho arrived about I o'clock, speaking briefly nt La Torto cn route, and hero at greater length tonight. He was well received at both places. At South Rend Mr. Hryan was escorted to tho residence ot Hon. R. F. Shlvely, whero ho wns introduced to members nf tho reception committee and other promi nent citizens. At La Porte Mr. Uryan's arrival was announced by firing of anvils and tho shouts of people, who had gathered at tho station.

He contented himself with pointing out what he denomi nated tho Inconsistencies of tho repub lican party and tho means of meeting their arguments. Tho meeting held at this place tonight was held upon the court house grounds.

Ho had a lino audience, regardless of tho untoward condition. Mr. Shlvely presided at tho meeting, but he contonted himself with n mere presentation of Mr. Ilrynn. The Bpeech was a general discussion of the Issues of tho campaign, but especial attention was given to tho con sideration of tho "paramount" Issue. Mr. Uryan defended his course In advocat ing tho ratification of tho pcaco treaty, say ing he considered It prefernblo to havo the treaty ratified to having another made by tho samo pnrtles, believing It better to elimtnnte Spain from tho question entirely. If tho president could haul down the flag in Cuba, 200 miles away, ho could certainly haul It down In tho Philippines, 7,000 miles away.
