[ Now York Herald Cabla -Special to TUB Hr.K.1 The majority of French papers comment upon the Interview which u member of the staff of lOmo Slcclo mauo Leon Say undergo. The account of his interview , M published by the lUmo Sicclc , Is completed nnd explained by an article published In the Journal DCS Debuts , which , If It does not cmnnato from Leon Say himself , has ev idently been written by his direct inspira tion. 1'Yoni the Interview und the article in the DCS Dobnts It appears that M. Say r.nd his friends reject the Idea of n policy having for Its aim the realization of ropuBllcnn con centration , to bo obtained by means of con cessions made by the moderates to the radical party. Whllo admitting that parliamentary groups may not bo reconsti tuted upon the snmo model as these of the old chamber , Leon Say docs not think It cither possible or desirable that nil the re publicans , radicals , opportunists nnd moder ates should join in ono group. Tlio only result of the adulation of all these opinions of the most different nnd contradictory character would bo a pol icy without tiny precise direction , n govern ment without principle or programme , a ministry without homogeneity. If tlio radi cals will accept the program mo of the uiod- crate republicans they will bo welcomed , but the moderates will not inako any conces sion to obtain their concourse. Leon Say , enys the Journal DCS Debuts docs not deslro n government which will bo the prisoner cither of the radicals or of the members of the right. Ho desires u government which nhull Bland by itself , but which is composed In uuch manner nnd id based upon such prin ciples that. It will Inspire moderation in the right and left and w ill bo accepted by tlio moderates and the real conservatives of every party. The republican journals , beginning with Lo Temps and La Kopubliquo IVanenls , nro strong in their criticism of the ideas put for ward by Mr. Leon Say. They accuse him of causing { divisions among the republicans. To them the policy imposed is one of repub lican concentration. The ministry of their dreams is ono which would combine ingeniously the ideas of M. Floquot and those of M. Mcliuo or At. Hobot , nud which would keep an equilibrium between radicalism and moderation. This would be purely and simply a continuation of tbo sys tem followed by the last legislature. It is only hoped that thu radicals , becoming wiser , will bo loss exigent than in the past aud will overthrow the cabinet less often. There are thus two well-dollncd currents of opinion and scnsiblo discord which mani fests itself between tlio opportunists and the modcrata republicans of the loft center. The declaration of M. Leon Say is of great im portance because it shows on what condi tions ho and Ids friends would bo disposed to enter Into a ministerial combination. It is not nt nil impossible that these conditions nro accepted , yet entirely different tendencies predominate ut present in the majority of the republican party and notably in the opportunist group. It may therefore bo predicted that it will not bo a cabinet of the loft center directed by M. Loon Sny or by any other politician of the same shade that will imme diately succeed the present cabinot. It will bo n cabinet of republican concentra tion , llttlo different from that presided over by M. Tlrnrd , and which will follow an analogous policy. If it fails in its attempt , then perhaps it would bo necessary to try some other combination. NO PAPIST NIOUI ) APPLY. Catholic Jurymen llicctrd ) nt. Father MoFnddcii'H Trial In Ireland.

The Paris Temps , In n resume of the financial results of the exposi tion , says that before its close the number of people who will have visited the great show will reach 20.000,000 , nnd will In all probability exceed that figure. Referring to the proposed world's fair in America In 1SIU , the Temps says it is by no moans as certain as It seemed n month ngo that the Americans will select Now York for the location of their exposition , as Chicago is malting strenuous efforts to secure - cure It.

APPBALS AND 11KCI8IOXS. The secretary of the interior to-day de cided the cnso of Francis W. Conloy vs John Price , from the North I'lntto land ofllco. In volving tlio northeast quarter of the north east quarter of section , and the north half of the northwest quarter of section ! 3J , town ship IG north , range 2'J west , Nebraska. Tbo decision rendered Is in favor of Con loy , and it nfllrms tbo commissioner's find ing. Mr. Conlov will bo recognized ns the editor of the CAllnwny Headlight. The land was llrst entered by ono Perry , who aban doned It. Tlio government instituted pro ceedings against it by an inspector of land entries. Conloy hearing of this , built u house on the land and moved his family into it. Ho has over since lived on the land. For reasons not stated the government proceed ings were suspended and Perry allowed to contest the entry. Ueforo his contest tiegan Conloy applied for the land but was refused , Perry's entry being intnet. Conloy then ap plied to contest Perry's entry. Ho was refused , as Price was n prior applicant. Price defaulted at the hearing , nnd it was dismissed , but ho ob tained n second hearing. Conley hearing of the dismissal , applied to contest , but was ro fuscd. ns Price had been allowed u second hearing. ' 1 hen the Perry entry was can celled. Notice of tills fact was mailed Price Juno 0 , ISs" , but Price claimed the mailing was on July It ) nnd that ho received notice July 15. Hut Price made homestead entry on July'7 , 1SS5. Conley also made applica tion on Juno I , 1SS3. In August Conley con tested the entry of Price , claiming it to bo fraudulent and speculative ; that Price had not made entry in thirty days from the no tice of the cancellation of Perry's entry , and because Price had not settled ou the land and improved it as required bv law. The local oflicers found for Conloy nnd their action was nfllruied by the commission er. Price appealed to the secretary of the interior. The secretary holds the following irregularities on the part of the register and recorder : a 1. The suspension of thocontest by the gov ernment and the allowance of contest by Price because his contest gave him n preference right of entry to which ho wns not entitled. Price's contest should have been received but hold in nbeyanco to the result of tuo government's contest. 0. The rejection of Conley's application to contest. It should have been received , but held m abeyance to await the result of Price's contest. Conloy should have ap pealed so it might have been of record when Price's llrst application to contest was dis missed. 3. Tlio register nnd receiver should have rcpiatered the notice sent Price of the can cellation of Perry's entry. 4. The entry of Conloy was made prema turely. Hut on the merits of the case tbo secretary approves of the improvements mndo by Conley nnd sustains his charges against Price that his contest was bpecula- tivo nnd in bad faith. TUTTLC VS. riUKIJf. The secretary also rendered n decision In the case of A. II Tuttle vs. John C. Parkin , involving homestead entry upon the south half of the southeast quarter of section 1 and the north half of the northeast quarter of section 2 , township 25 , range 60 , Cnadron district , and also cash entry 942 of John C. Parkin. A dispute arose on the publication of the notice to make llnal prooi , improve ments , etc. The decision of tno land ofllco overruling the motion for n contest is de clared to bo erroneous. The assistant secretary - rotary of the interior declares that the proof should never have boon accepted , and the cas is remanded with Instructions to direct the local ofllcsrs to require the heirs of Par kin to make now proof , after now notice , nnd that the appellant , Tuttle , bo specially cited to appear at the tlmo nnd place fixed , nnd then that proceedings bo neld in the same manner ns in conto.it cases. Thus the decision below is reversed. SMOKl'LCSS POWDER. Although foreign powers have for almost a year been experimenting with smouclcss gun powder and talking about its results , it was only a few days ago that the ordnance de partment of our navy concluded to look into the subject seriously. During the next three weeks some tests are to he made In this country. However slow our army ofllolals may appear to have been In experimenting with smokeless gun powder , they nave kept pace with the times. Upon nil occasions whcro its claims were presented by an oltlclal test In Kuroro the United States had its representatives present , and there have boon several onicial reports filed upon this subject with the sec retary of war. Although the attempt 1ms been made to kccu the composition of this now oxplcnlvo n secret , wo know pretty nearly or what It Is made. Dynamite aud gun cotton enter largely into Us com position. Castor oil is also used in some samples. The newspaper account of all the tests made thus far in Kuropo nro flattering and predict a revolution in modern warfare. Ofllclal nud Impartial statements put the matter In u different light. The combustion of ono sampla of the smokeless powder produces such nn over powering Dtonch that it sickens persons com pelled to bo in the vicinity. In other cases the results are so uncertain that the practical utility of the invention is a matter of serious doubt. if it is discovered that practical nnd per manent results nro likely to bo the outcome of the tests , investigations will bo carried on Indefinitely until the merits or dements of tbo scheme have been developed.

" According to the Dally News the omnibus indictment returned this afternoon was n useless proceeding , except on the theory that the persons npnlnst whom it was brought , all of whom were already under indictment , have baen made subject to some now charge. The state's attorney has declined to allow the new indictment to bo seen , and this is taken as an indication that a new charge lias been made against the alleged jury fixers. It Is suggested that the accused nio to bo put in the same boat ns the Cronin suspects , as accessories after the fact. All the persons rcindieted wore again an estcd , except Uailift Salomon , who , it is supposed , will confess. Graham secured bail , but the others were kept in confine ment.

Newman , Judge of election , testified that n few days before the primary was hold ho was approached by n friend of Kent , who asked if tie did not doslro to bo tollovud from his duties as judge for the balauca of the year.

Tlio roc. ords in the election commissioners' ofllco show the entry after Newman's name , "moved out , " yet Mr. Newman had never thought of leaving the precinct. Commlttceincn Kent nnd Downey are hold to bo the guilty parties , but the commission ers find themselves embarrassed us to just how to Institute criminal proceedings against the conspirators , The election law 1ms no provision which clearly fills the case , but It was an evident attempt to nullify the law , nnd Hint in itself Is a crime.
