BRITISH ELECTIONS TO DATE.
The British Liberals are meeting
with better fortune in the closing
stages of the elections. The position
of th* parties last night was:
OmonisU 253
Liberals 253
Lafaorite* 40
Nationalists 76
The prospect now is that the coali

Nationalists — will eventually approach
FBr Cabl» to The Tribune.! .
London, Jan. 27.— coalition major
ity was raised to 105 during the day and
increased to 111 on the results declared
by midnight. There was a net gain of
tn-f. seats made during the day toward
tip nine required for putting the Union
ists ]• a majority over the Liberals
tlone. and there was a lingering nope
among partisans in the Conservative
dubs that this could be accomplished
before the remaining seats were tilled.
11l Liberal-Labor majority is secure.
£n<J the only resource left for enabling
the Unionist calculators to figure out an
actual minority for the budget is to rep
resent the Nationalists as tariff reform
ers, and even rabid protectionists, and to
ccd then* votes to the regular opposition.
The tame leader writers who have

the whole Nationalist vote against the

Irish whiskey.

The Irish Solicitor General, J. Barry,
greatly to the delight of the ministerial

LONG SECRETLY WED
FAMOI'S CONTRA UFO
A DOCTOR'S BRIDE.
Mile. Gerville-RcacJic Mania
to Pasteur Institute Head
in November.
A marriage that has been kept a se
cret c^er since November 11 came to
light last night, when it was learned
that upon that date Dr. George G. Ram
baud, the director of New York Pasteur
Institute, and -• Ml*©.— * Jeanne^Oervilio—
Reache, the French contralto of the Man
hattan Opera company, were married in
New Jersey at the home of friends.
Dr. Rambaud. when seen last night at
the offices of the Pasteur Institute, in
West 23d street, confirmed the report of
the marriage.
"We had intended to keep it secret to
all but a few friends," said Dr. Ram
baud. "but I suppose it Is useless to
deny it longer. We intend for the pres
ent to make New York our home, as
Mrs. Rambaud is engaged to sing here
and as I have been connected with the
Pasteur Institute for the last eighteen
years."
Mile. Gerville-Reache is perhaps best
known in the part of Delilah, in Saint-
Saens's opera "Samson et Delilah." She.
sings this part for the first time this
season at the Manhattan Opera House
to-night. Mllr. Gerville-Reache comes
of a distinguished family, her father
having been at one time the French
Governor of Guadeloupe, and her uncle
Speaker of the French Chamber of Dep
uties.
Her first appearance here was as the
blind mother in "La Gioconda," on the
opening night of Mr. Harnmerstein's
second season. She has sung the part
of the mother of Louise, in Charpentier's
opera, and took also the part of the
mother of Pelleas and Golland in "Pel
le.as et Melisande." She is to appear in
"Klektra." Other parts have been Car
men and La Navarraise.
Dr. Rambaud is a graduate of the
University of Paris and of the Columbia
University Medical School. He is a well
known member of the medical faculty of
the city.
LUNATIC IN CHURCH.
Spread Terror hi f Antics at
Paulist Jubilee.
Several communicants of the Paulist
Fathers' Church, at Columbus avenue
and 60th street, were stricken with ter
ror yesterday afternoon when an appar
ently insa.no man appeared in their midst
and began to run up and down the aisles
of the church as fast as his legs could
carry him In their fright they rushed
into the street, where Father Daly was
conversing with Detective Leonard, of
the West 68th street station.
The priest and the detective imme
diately rushed into the church and tried
to catch the man, but his endurance was
so great that they were nearly exhausted
by the. timo they had caught and over
powered him. Leonard took him to
Roosevelt Hospital, but he was not ad
mitted.
Dr. Brewster was summoned from the
Flower Hospital to the West 68th street
station. He examined the prisoner there
and pronounced him insane. The man,
who Haiti his name was Dennis Donohue
and that he lived at No. 216 Monroe
street, was then removed to Bellevue
Hospital.

MORE FRAUD FOUND
MOSQUITO NETS THE

Neic Orleans Investigation
Points to Similar Operations
Here, It Is Said.
So pf-rious has bern the evidence given
before the federal grand jury at New
Orleans regarding customs frauds in the
importation of mosquito netting that th*»
Department of Justice has sent a special
aid the United States Attorney, rharltori
V. Beattie, in his investigations. Tt was
reported also that while the loss to th»>
government in the Southern city might
aggregate $son.oon. an inquiry here
would show irregularities up in the
millions.
A former special agent, who had been
a witness before the grand jury at New
Orleans, was quoted in The Tribune on
Tuesday as saying that the facts which
had been disclosed showed that gross
frauds had been committed, frauds that
had been reported by him while on duty
there and reported to the department at
Washington. He was dismissed from
The service. According to the latest ac
count?, the investigation has shown :i
worse condition of affairs than was at
first expected.
OJeneral T. S. Castleman is the fore
man of the federal grand jury and the
other men on that body are said to be
among the most representative business
men in New Orleans. Rivals of the firms
said to have benefited by the frauds have
been called to testify regarding the im
possibility of meeting the competition
under the circumstances existing before
an Appraisers examiner, H. P. Murray,
discovered irregularities and raised the
valuations to the correct amounts. Mur
ray was removed from the service.
The firms subpoenaed to tell of the dis
crimination practised against them are:
. Maison Blanche, I). H. Holmes & Co
limited, B. Conn & Co.. the L. Fellman
Company. Krauss -& Co., limited, and
Swartz Brothers. They are In the dry
goods business and are representative of
the interests that are determined that
there shall be a housecleaning at New
Orleans similar to that made here last
year. •
Up to the present about sixteen em
ployes and officers of the customs ser
vice at the Southern Ity have been
called before the grand jury. The col
lector down there is Henry A. McCall
and the appraiser William P. Luck. Mr.
Luck was in this city last autumn at
th© annual meeting of appraisers from
all the ports In this country. He was
the toastmaster at the dinner given by
George W. Wanmaker, the appraiser
here.
The valuation of the i q: . netting,
"ft per cent of the Importation of which
is received at New Orleans, is made,
according to the number of holes in Ul9
square inch. These goods come from
Nottingham. England. The method of
valuing was a trade secret jealously
guarded, but Murray found It out and
equalized it. Soon after he went to the
Booth there was talk about irregular
ities, and it was believed that he was re
sponsible for it. This talk caused the
investigation by the grand jury.
The duty en nettings is 60 per cent ad
valorum. While the bulk of the eOMTM
or mosquito netting is shipped from
abroad to New Orleans, the fine nettings,
figured and plain, of the highest grades,
such as are used for curtains and in
gowns, are mainly sent to this port.
The duties on these amount to millions
of dollars a year.
j It was said yesterday that the federal
authorities here would be asked to have
ah Investigation made as soon as the
N-ew'Orleuns grand jury had completed
its labors. The latter, it was said, was
expected to find v.-nd Indictments,
which would be of merchants and gov
ernment officials in that city. In Wash
ington and in New ork City. Should
it not indict, however, the matter may
be appealed on ■ presentment to Wash
ington for action,
NO CHARTER
SLIGHT CHANGES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
Report Against Radical Cen
tralization of Anthoritij as
Favored bjf Ivins Board.
fßv Tf-l»grapl> to Th« Tribune. I
Albany, Jan. 27.— The report of the
l^giplativp committee appointed to re
port on a new charter for Mew York
City will be presented tn-morrow. No
charter will be put in with the report,
and the report itself will recommend
only comparatively slight changes from
the existing conditions. The committee
•will declare against any radical central
ization of authority as was recom
mended in the draft charter presented
last year by the Ivins commission. This
report will recommend that no changes
be made in the powers and duties of the
members of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment until the expiration of
the terms of the present members. Then
there should be a separation of the ex
f cutlve duties of the borough presidents
from their power of appropriation as
members of the Board of Estimate, the
legislators believe. But they are not
prepared at present to say whether the
new members of the Board of Estimate
who should replace the borough presi
dents in that body should be elected by
the city at large or one from each bor
ough.
A new department will be reconi
mended by the committee — a department
of hospitals, with a commissioner ap
pointed by a board of trustees, appointed
In turn by the Mayor. This department
is to have charge of all hospitals sup
ported by public funds except those used
for contagious or pestilential diseases,
which are to he under the jurisdiction of
the Board of Health. A commissioner of ,
accounts and salaries appointed by the J
Mayor also will be recommended, to
give to the Mayor opportunity for the !
fullest Investigation of all department I
matters.
FISCAL SUPERVISOR FAVORED.
The committee will not favor a cen
tral purchasing bureau, substituting
therefor a fiscal supervisor, who shall
purchase supplies in the open market.
The Board of Estimate will decide what
supplies shall be bought by contract,
delegating to this fiscal supervisor the
duty of purchasing J these supplies on
competitive bidding and distributing
them to the different departments. As
has been indicated in The Tribune, the
radical difference In this treatment of
the charter question from that of the
Ivins commission is due quite as much
to the fact that a fusion Board of Esti
mate now is in office as to the fact that
the legislative committee was entirely
open to the influence of those politicians
•w ho- last year opposed the abolition of
the borough form of government. The
committee's report Is based chiefly on
the notion that the people of the city
indicated at the election that they w» re.
satisfied with borough government, but
wanted to have it clean and well con
ducted.
The result will be that any new char
ter adopted this year will be a change
only in detail from the present schema
of government in New York ('ity. One
Important change, however, will be made
if the Legislature acts on the commit
tee's report. That will be the abolition
of sinking funds to which specific rwe
nues of the city are pledged and the
adoption of a policy requiring running
fx].MiBCS of the city to be paid from the
annual tax levy. Thus, the bu,lcr<>t each
year would be an accurate Index to the
city's expenditures, and the possibility
of a sharp rise In the tax rate would he
an effective deterrent u£ municipal ex
travagance.
The committee disapproves of the
transfer of the bureaus for co|]e, tlon of

AMERICANS SAFE.
No Reason for Anxiety About
Visitors in Paris.
[By Cabl» to The Tribune.]
Pans, Jan. 27. — Many cable messages
from the United States have reached
Paris to-day from relatives or friends of
Americans here, urging them to leave
the city at once. Those messages indi
cate that reports exaggerating the dan
ger to residents of and tourists to Paris
have been published abroad.
To reassure Americans who may have
members of their families in Paris it
may be stated with absolute confidence
that there is not- the slightest cause for
' alarm or anxiety in regard to the safety
or comfort of visitors here. Of course,
there is great inconvenience in certain
parts of the city, owing to the break
.d<vvf'ii_of -the electric lights, telephones,
.tram cars and the metropolitan under
ground, but there is nor the slightest
danger to life, limb or health.
A few grocers are engaged in piratical
practices, cabmen and chauffeurs of the
taxi-auto cabs try to exploit the situa
tion, but the food supply is little below
the normal, and the prices of meat; veg
etables, poultry and bread have ad
vanced only slightly. Life here goes on
very much the same.
Of course, the suffering among the
poor people living on the river sides and
in the flooded districts is very great.
The worst has not yet been reached.
Friday and Saturday will, according
to the calculations of the Fluvial Com
mission, mark the top of the disaster
record.
Rut there is no cause for anxiety
among Americans who have relatives
and friends in Paris, pitru»r in regard to
personal danger or in regard to epi
demics owing to the lack of wholesome
food or drinking water or even fr>«m
thp flushing of the sewers, which affects
houses only in the inundated districts

At 2:30 a. m. the water forced its way
