Correspondence Between France and the
United States.

UnlteQ states.
WASHINGTON, August 15th.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate to-day, in compli-
ance with resolution, all the correspond
ence not already submitted to Congress
touching the efforts made by this Govern
ment to secure modification or repeal by
the French Government of its decree of
1881, prohibiting the importation into
France Of American pork and kindred
American products. In his letter OF trans
initial to the President, Acting Secretary
Wharton, of the State Department, says:
This correspondence Glscloses the import
ant fact that the French Government now
practically places lis exclusion of our pork
products upon economic instead of sani-
tary grounds, and as this policy of ex-
clusion, as measure for the protection of
the domestic products of France, is applied
only to the United States, the Department
has not failed to protest against the dis
elimination as unjust"
A letter from Reid 10 Secretary Blaine,
dated June 2S, 1889, in answer to letter
from the latter already published, Reid
says that any steps taken towards recalling
the attention of the French Government to
the subject would be inopportune. He
also says the French Government rather
favors the removal of prohibition.

to Reid approving his suggestion.
A letter from w. B. Franklin, Commits.
sioner-Geperal of the United States at the
Paris Exposition, to Blaine gives substance
to dhe interview between Reid. Franklin
and Spuller, the French Minister of For
eign Affairs, at which Spoller admitted
that the agitation over the Mckinley bill
made any action on the point extremely
difficult. Reid protested that France was
the aggressor and should take the first
step.
A voluminous letter dated July Sd was
sent TO Ribot by Reid, the American Min.
lister. In this communication he endeay-
ored to show Ribot the mistake France is
making in excluding American pork. and
quotes statistics to carry ont mis- argument
He hints at the possible prohibition of
French wines by the United States owing
TO the growth of TIE wine industry in this
country, and refers to the effect that such
action would have on France.
On July IL, $780, Ribot sent note to
Reid in which he said that the difficulties
in the way of removing prohibition had
been attended to by measures which were
finally passed or voted on by the House
Representatives, and which do not fail to
raise just complaints on the part of the
French Government, (Ribot referred to
the tariff bill and customs administrative
bill
