FRANCE AND THE WORLDS FAIR.
THE FEELING IN REGARD TO THE NEW TARIFF

Paris, July 22.-The Associated Press correspond
ent here has been making inquiries of the French
Chambers OF Commerce TO the present feeling
cerning the Mckinley tariff and as TO whether this
feeling will affect the French exhibit at Chicago.
The vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of
Algers said that TINT Chamber passed a resolution
no, long ago declaring that the tariff law tended
TO render very difficult, if not impossible all trade
relations between Franco and the United States"
The secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce of Reims
said For the present at least the Mckinley bill
obstacle the participation Of manufacturers
in the Chicago Exhibition. This fact is clearly
brought out in the reply which Chamber made
when the Minister Of Commerce asked recently for
views in regard TO the Chicago Exhibition. The
text Of that reply is follows:
"'on account Of the almost prohibitive duties which
are laid on our manufactures at American ports We
cannot take the initiative in promoting exhibit at
Chicago ask our merchants and manufacturers
TO take part in the fair. But IT, within reasonable
length of time, a friender spirit is shown by the
American Republic for our productions, this Chamber
will then be ready TO second the Minister'S efforts
Such is the sentiment this region, and such is It's
expression"
The general secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce
OF st. Etenne writes: ST. Etienne has always had
important commercial relations with the United stnes
but these relations continually diminishing or are
becoming more and more difficult account of the
excessive tariffs levied on our ribbons and silks. II
Is not probable that many OF our manufacturers Will
send EXHIBITS to Chicago. our Chamber, however,
will do best to induce our manufacturers to cx-
hibi"
The president OF the Chamber Of Commerce OF
Bordeaux sends as his the letter sent some
time ago TO the Minister of Commerce. in which occurs occurs
this clause For many years We have been calling
attention TO the dangers sure to arise in our com
mercia relation with the United States from the ABB
solutelv unjust prohibition of their salt meats. We
are not surprised at the realiatory measure Of the
Mckinley tariff - a., u,
The vice president of the Marselles Chamber of
Commerce sends n letter originally addressed TO the
Minister Of Commerce in which the Mckinley tain IS
warmN condemned and then adds: At the request OF
the Minister Of Commerce the Chamber has made known
through the newspapers that an exhibition Will DC
held at Chicago

INTERESTING ITEMS FROM CUBA.

Havana, July 13.-COpOuS rains have fallen during
last week. and many factories which still grinding
were compelled to suspend operations 1t is expected
that few of these will resume work, and that in the
district of CienuegOs alone sufficient to have
Yielded 1000 hogsheads of sugar will be left in the
fields The bac1wardness of the product is attributed
20 the delay In setting machinery, part of
which was received late in the season.
According TO a statement Just sSucd by the Superin
tendent of the Treasury, the total receipts from Gus
toms at all points on the island during the month Of
May, 1891, show an increase of $50025 30, as com
pared with the corresponding month Of last year.
"The Weekly Report" says that the transactions in
tobacco for the United states have been of little i'm
portance Producers continue to demand enormous
prices and this is especially true Of those whose
plantations produce the light shades greatly ap-
preclated by smokers. Unfortunately, adds "The
Weekly Report" these colOrs do not appear to have
grown so abundantly this season as desired
Two cases of remarkable longevity have been re-
ported from Arimao, Cenfucgos The first is that Of
negro named Belen Iznaga, who died recently at the
age If l25 years. The other is that Of white woman,
sonora Angela ortiz Pine, who recently died in the
vicinity of that city at the age OF 10 years.
