Cabla Special to Tim Hii : : . | The election
o ( Floquot to the presidency of the chamber
of deputies meets with the approval of nearly
the whole of the republican press Coitaln
organs of the modcrata party , it Is true , express -
press some dissatisfaction with the cholco of
the deputies Thry Insist that the choice of
n president for thochnmbor Is an act that
tins alwajs been regarded ns of political sig
nificance , nnd . tlioy do not admit that the
personal qualities anil cxporlonco attributed
to Floquut are sufficient explanation of Ills
. Bolcctlon for the position , 'i'lioy say Floquct
occupies too important a position among the
radicals for It to bo possible to consider him
solely in tha liulaotnn expert hi the direc
tion of parliamentary procedure For this
and other reasons his election Is looked upon
by them as a concession on the part of the
opportunists to the radical minority , anil as a
BOinowlint poculinr way of inaugurating the
moderate policy which the now ropuullcan
majority is expoetud to follow
A certain number of voter * , those of the
Houlunglstsand of it few cousorvntivcs , were
cast for Boulnnircr , but this nnodyuo mani
festation attracted llltlo notice The gcnoral
is not a member of the chamber ind votes
cast for him were neither counted or re
corded
Forty or fifty votes were cast for Leon
Snv A few republican Journals iirofcss to
consider this as a crushing defeat for the
former minister of llnanco and for the mod
eruto line of policy of which ho has made
himself the champion Such un Interpreta
tion , however , is absolutely ridiculous for
those who advaneo It.'ou know very well
that Leon Say was In no sense of the term a
candidate for the presidential chair of the
chamber
The election of last Tuesday only derives
its interest fiom the fact that it is rightly or
wrongly considered as an indication of the
disposition and preferences of thoropuDhcin
majority in the new chamber The mot
d'ordcro with the republicans has for some
tlmo been concentration Thcro exists so
great a fear lest the radicals should oppose this
desideratum that everything possible has
been and is being done to icccu thoiu in good
humor , and it Is partly perhaps to a dcslro to
actlclpato their wishes that Floquot owes his
election
It is hoped that this concession will induce
- • thorn to show a little tract ability and allow
the opportunists to govern without opposi
tion ,
i Whllo concentration is undoubtedly going
5 on in the ranks of the republicans , n marked
5 secession lias occurred on the right side of
i the chamber ,
t An interview winch , occurred the other
day In Lousania Soliel with Jncqucs Piou ,
ono of the most influential of the
doputics of the right and a member
of thecommittco of twelve , is a sig
nificant Indication of the new line of uolltical
conduct that the moro moderate conserva
tives uro disposed to adoot Piou starts with
the fact that the rcceut elections have
proved the majority of the natiou to bo op
posed to any cnuugo of regime Ho there
fore strongly urges hts conservative col
leagues to abandon everything that savors
of achangoiu the form of government or of
a revision of the constitution , and to duvoto
1 their efforts exclusively to the defense of
i conservative intorcsts in tha caucus
hold by members of the right Yes
tcrdny Piou made a striking speech in
support of hts views on that point Ho was
opposed by Paul Do Cassagnac but unnvnll-
Ingly , for the caucus showed a decided lean
ing towards the opinions advouced by Piou
It would seem , tboreforo , that there is at
present in the ranks of the conservatives
elements from which a nloderato party could
bo formed whoso measure of opinion mid
policy would closely apnroxlmnto to that of
the modor.Uo republicans Nothing could
occur that would work a moro favorable ln-
k fluonco on the stability of republican Insti
ll tutions than the formation of such a party ,
* from which , by the way , the conservatives
would have n good deal to gain and very
little to lose , but its formation depends as
, much on the republicans ns upon the con
servatives It all depends upon whether the
I former nro wise enough to facilitate tlio
movement whjch is undoubtedly taking place
in the ranks of the latter toward * the ro-
j public

AN INVESTIGATION rROUABLB
The civil service commission is preparing
for a congressional investigation Two mem
bers of the commission at least nro trembling
for straws have shown thorn which way the
wind is blowing Not long ago the charges
made against a member of tno commission
stirred up that body and soon after a clerk
who had a high position under the commis
sion was removed and secured a permanent
place In Pailadolphla When the news of an
exposure cuino out ono of tno commissioners
sent missionaries to Philadelphia to try and
convince the discharged clerk that It would
bo good for him to keep quiet The ox-
clerks reply was : "I never gossip to news
papers or idle pcoplo When congress is
ready for mo to tnlk'then I nm prepared to
toll what I know " This let now light into
the commissioners already startled senses
and it was said on excellent authority thnt
orders were issued at once "to put the nouso
in readiness for the visitors " That is , the
clerks began to make ready for a big con
gressional investigation ' 1 ho fact that the
president has tuuen a great interest in the
matter and'has been Investigating for him
self also reached tbo commissions ears Not
long ago a correspondence between Presi
dent Harrison and ex-Commlssionor Kdger-
ton ensued , and in this some most interest
ing revolutions of tbo inner doings of the
commission were maao Ono net of ono

PHILADELPHIA'S HAD BltrAK
Inquiry among the delegates to the inter
national American congress in reference to
tbo disrespectful treatment tendered to them
at the Pniladelphia reception , tbo night before
fore last , corroborates everything that has
been published in that direction in the Asso
ciated and other press dispatches
Tbo delegates say that they were actually
taken to the Union Lcaguo club rooms and
huddled together In a rope enclosure like bo
tnuny dime museum curiosities or wild men
from Uornoo and that thousands of citizens
of Philadelphia dressed in their strcot cos
tumes , the ladies with their hats and bonnets
on , marched past and Btarcd at the delegates
and their iudios who were in evening dressus
if to satisfy their vulvar curiosity '
They say that they were placed on exhi
bition and shown none ot the courtesies ex
tended ordinarily to guests
The Associated press dispatch from Phil
adelphia published this morning quoting the
North American newspaper as saying that
Secretary lilaino intended to censure Special
Agent Curtis for having takou the delegates
and their ladles away from tbo reception
when it was seen that they were merely to
bo inspected as curiosities Is without foun
dation ; In fact , Mr Curtis spent two hours
with Socretury Bluino this afternoon , during
which tlmo ho went over tbo cntiro Journey
of the special excursion , and thcro was not a
word of censure administered to him Mr
IJlaino Is thoroughly satisfied with the result
of the excursion The action of Mr Curtis
is not only approved by all of the delegates
aud their ladles , but by the department of
ftato Pblludelpblaiis appear cot to have
como out very much ahead by their recep
tion or the complaint they entered waoa
their guests were taken from their midst

most cordial treatment at Omaha than at any
point on the trip , and that the delegates were
greatly pleased with the Nebraska people

rOIt A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW ,
Tbo prospects are that there will bo a per
fect scramble in the lower house for the In
troduction of bills looking toward a federal
election law Nearly overysouttiern repub
lican will offer a bill of this character
There is a very general sentiment hero in
favor of the federal government assuming
control of ull elections whore congressmen
are to bo elected This sentiment is formed
without any dellnito idea as to what shape
the proposition shall tuko or how the luw Is
to bo enforced after it Is upon the statute
hooks or what the result will bo wbon it is
eu forced
The attltudo assumed by President Harri
son when treating this subject in tha senate
a few years ago and In speaking of it after
his nomination to the presidency , coupled
with the expression ho has made in his con
versations since his inauguration , have led
bis friends to expect him to take advanced
stops ou the subject in his furthcoming mes
sage to cougioss
It nas been suggested by some men in con
gress avho have bud a great deal of experi
ence With lesislalioii ulfectlnc sectional ques
tions that it would bo well for too press and
the pcoplo af the country to discuss the
proportion to enact a federal election law
for the purposa ol enlightening congress A
fear is cutcrtalncd that the enforcement of
the law will Jead to constant and general
collisions between statu and federal authori
ties id the south Information is ucoded as
to tbo scope the law should take and tbo
manner In which it could bo enforced with
the least possible friction There will he a
great deal of heated discussion on the sub
ject wbon it comes up in congress If tbo
president uhould recommend the adoption of
a national election law his , recommondntlon
would ot course bo the sntrjoctof caucus
action , nnd if the administration is to rccclvo
the endorsement that it should have from
the party the recommendation would lend to
law Congress will npprca' the subject
cautiously , nnd its purposa villi bo to deal , If
at all , intelligently
THIS 1'IIEStIlRNT'S MK8SAOB ,
President Harrison'mossatro ' , to congress
is anticipated with a crent deal moro of in
terest than was nny uicscage under the ad
ministration of Otovqland , for the reason
that the republicans have both bouses of

recommend In the way of legislation is likely
to bo adopted In cnucuscs nnd cnrrlcd
throuch both branches of congress Thcro
Is a belief in tbo executive departments that
the president will rccommond th s extension
of the civil service law to Include chiefs of
divisions It is believed also that the presi
dent will make some otbor recommendations

may go even further than chiefs of divisions
in reaching upward In the rnuks The presi
