FRANCE WAS MUCH DisrLEAsED.
U. 8. Consul. Took Unofficial Figures
I'm TrffseIsinx Wfnes.

WASHINGTON. April ls.--The remark
able statement of the French premier NJ.
Hanotaux, as to the position OF the French
government towards the pending tariff
BILL has attracted great attention In off,
clal circles here. Particular interest has
been excited By the criticisms upon ths
American consular officers In France, and
investigation makes IL apparent that ths
subject recently has been discussed at
length by the diplomatic representatives
OF the two countries. and that our govern
rnent finally conceded tho correctness og
the French assumption that eur consuls
exceeded their instructtouse IN crtttcisins
the French wines. and decided 90 print la
the same publication which contained ths
consular reports a statement IN ytndica-
ton OF the wines.
The complaint IS no new one. so far as
tho French government IS concerned. For
the past twenty years our consuIs In
France, in their reports 10 the state de-
partment. have had much 20 say as to thu
extent OF the aduiteration OF French wines
end brRndies. The latest publication.
however. which has brought down the
wrath OF the French government upon our
consuIs. came from Consul Chancellor, ut
Havre. and was printed Ira the United
States consul reports OF date July last.
This was a general report on wine max
ing ia France" and IN les course Mr..
Chancellor made some strong statements.
Inc fEEuEE Objection 70 the statements OF
the consul was that he was rot supported
by the official figures. but had accepted
hearsay statements ana thu gossip of
newspapers and ex paFte reports thu
basis for the statements, which were cal
cuIatoi greatly 20 harm the reputation
that the French wines had earned. not
only IN the United States. but IN every
country IA the world.
The state department made inquiry into
tho matter and wit5osl; going behind tbs
regulations Il had established was obliged
70 confess Judgment. for its standing In
structions 70 its consular officers ara
20 avoid accepting an the basis for or
fetal reports anything less than Official
staismsnts. etc. else explanatory notes
should be attached.
The matter - now, however. as befoFs
stated already adjusted. and with TIA
publication Of the explanatory state
msnt in the next number OF tbs United
States consular reports. the incident viii
end.
