attention to the fact that the chief ground on
which complaint has been urged against the
Customs Administrative bill viz, that in cases OF
alleged undervafuation no appeal could be had
from the decision Of the Custom House 20 the
courts, is not sustained by the terms of the bill
as finally passed. Your Excellency will recall
that, on the first expression OF friendly COM
plant on this subject. you were assured from
Washington that the bill would be modified and
the right Of appeal granted. / deeply regret that
that prompt response from the United states
has met with no reciprocal act or rccognition on
the part of the French Government; and that an
other friendly act-the total removal Of the 50
per cent duty on works OF art by the House OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS alike unnoticed, until
tie Senate Committee. seeing no announcement
for steps IN this direction, restored the duty.
From our point Of view then, the case stands
thus: The French Government has persisted for
nine years in an indefensbe act, discriminating
specially against United States commerce. Mean
time II complains Of new measures ny the Cnltcd
States Government, far less severe and In no way
discriminating against French commerce. Its
complaints receive prompt and considerate atten-
tion and the friendly disposition thus shown
evokes no recognition.
II cannot be believed that with full under
standing of the case. the French Government de-
liberately chooses that attitude Your Exceency
has been necessarily much preoccupied of late
with other matters: but ] cannot believe that
when YOU come to give the case full attention
YOU can be satisfied with it. Now. as heretofore
make my appeal TO French frendliness, French
Justice. and, may / add, to an enlightened sense
of French interests.

Sw1TCHMEN IN UNCERTAIN MOOD.

STRIKING AT NIGHT ON SEVERAL ROADS II
CHICAGO AND REsUMlNG WORK NEXT DAY.
Chicago, Aug % (specaD.-rhe switchmen's striks
here to-day is confined 10 the exemployes OF the dis.
solved Switching Association, at the stockyais and
the Chicago and Alton men. The men on the Lake
Shore who struck last night resumed work at 10 O'Clock
to-day, pending the adoption by the united railroads Of
some system of handling stockyards freight. The
Lake Shore has three switch engines and crews u
work in Packngtown, and other roads are about a.
well OFF, and business Is moving, but slowly. There
has been trouble the strikers though threats
made. The stockyards aud the Chicago and
Alton yards are garrisoned by city police.
The general managers OF the roads have decided b
reorganize the Switching Association a different
basis. When this is accomplished, the strikers may
receive employment The Fort Wayne crews who
struck returned to work on the same understanding -
the Lake Shore men. The Switchmcn's Committee od
which William Hayes is the chairman, held conference
with the executive committee of the general managers
Of the various roads at the Exchange Building at Che
Union Stock Yards. Nothing Of Importance resulted.
Father Dorney, who accompanied the committee In the
capacity of peaccmaker says that If the Railway
switching Association were still in existence it would
now be comparatively easy matter to settle the
differences between the men and their employers, but
that under present circumstances IL difficult to arrive
at an understanding.
The Grievance Committee OF the switchmens
Mutual Aid Association held long session at
Plasterers Hall to-day. The switchmen OF almost all
the railroads entering Chicago represented. The
officers OF the Grand Lodge of the association were
present, and Grand Master Frank sweeney presided.
The object for which the meeting was called was to
devise some means Of settling the stockyards' strike.
The strikers were not represented at the conference
Their executive committee directed tC be In at
tendance at O'Clock, when 1t would hear the dec-
sion Of the joint committee.
"There Will be no general strike that has been de-
cided.n said Of the conferees We are trying TO
fix some plan to take care OF those who went
out and to do so in way that will satisfy the rail.
road companies Many methods have been proposed.a
The meeting finally appointed committee to de-
wise a means of ending the strike. The committee
will draft resolutions, and history OF the troubles at
the stOckyaIds Will be formulated.
