TICINo POLITICS.

met in Bellinzona to-day. The members Of
the Extreme Left were absent. Mr.. Fog
netti was elected President. In a speech,
after paving a tribute to the memory of
Councillor Rossi, who was killed in the
recent revolution, the President endeavored
to argue that the recent votes showed that
the majority of the people were satisfied
with the government, but he was inter
rupted By angry shouts OF dissent from the
galleries.

nounced their resignation and Government
messages, with reference to attempts to effect
party concilition, were referred to COM
mittee. The members of the Left have de-
cided to Join the Government if offered the
choice Of two seats in the Cabinet, but they
are strongly opposed to the postponement of
the electoral law, except by a Constituent
assembly.
THE FRENCH TARIFF.
PARIs-M. Roche, Minister OF Com
merce, explained the new tariff bill to the
Tariff Committee to-day. The object of the
maximum and minimum system, he said,
was to avoid Inconvenience connected with
the most favored nation clause in any treaty
with a foreign power. The Government
might make bad, bargain in granting
benefits in such clause to nation yield
ing but slight advantages to France. But
under the present bill any country getting
minimum tariff privileges must grant con-
siderable reductions in existing duties, be-
sides placing France in as favorable posi-
tion as any other nation. The Government
reserved the right to decide whether the
minimum tariff privileges should be
granted for fixed period or for an un-
limited period.
