RECIPROCITY HANGS FIRE.
Negotiations with France still Very
Unsettled.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-There is no I'm
mediate prospect of the conclusion of the
reciprocity negotiations between the United
States and France. Both governments have
presented elaborate statistics to show their
respective positions in any reciprocity ar
rangement but the matter has not pro-
gressed to the point where an agreement can
be foreseen. Having presented the French
side of the case from every standpoint, M.
Patenctre the French ambassador, has now
referred the question back to his govern
ment, and is awaiting instructions He had
hoped to conclude the negotiations before
departing to his new post at Madrid, but
this seems hardly likely owing to the many
delays which are occurring. He had eX-
Dected to leave the latter part of this
month, but may defer his trip until the lat
ter part of December. Madame Patenotre
will not go until spring, owing to the sever
ity of an ocean trip in mtdwinter. The new
French ambassador M Canlbon, will leave
Paris Dec. Is, arriving here about the first
of the new year. Madame Cambon Will not
come to this country during the first year
of the ambassadors service. AS the reci-
procity question is now before the authori-
ties at Paris, 1t is likely that M. Cambon
will receive personal instructions and come
here fully conversant with the question. In
the course of the negotiations an ntimation
has been made by the United States officials
that a relaxation of the French restrictions
on American meat products would be help
full in forwarding the reciprocity agreement.

Incident Following the Assasslnatio on
of Senior BOrda.

LONDON, Nov. "a dispatch from
Montevideo to the Times says: "On Friday
evening last the government frustrated
plot of the adherents of ex-President Her
rera Obes in the Legislature to kidnap
and deport Senor Cuestes who succeeded
to presidency ad interim after the assassi-
nation of Senor Borda- The discovery of
this plot has produced strong popular dem
onstrations In favor of Senor Cuestes whose
candidacy for the presidency is now for
mally proclaimed by the Blancos and by all
parties except the adherents of the old re-
gime.
'The latter. who, owing to the corrupt
electioneering methods they have used con-
stitute a large majority in the Legislature
refuse to accept Senor Cuestas, and threaten
to elect a retrogressive President. The dis
solution of the Chamber, which is generally
regarded as the only step that will save
the country from disaster and another rev.
olution, would be warmly approved by pub
lie opinion, and the army would probably
support Senor CUesteS against both cham
bers, which would then be powerless.
"Senor Cuestes declares his determination
to stand by the people, to give honest and
economical government and TO protect for
eign interests, and he asserts that foreign
residents as well as natives should be con-
suited on public affairs and in the selection
of President.

Count Gouchows.Ifs statement with ref

Vaudeville, La, Nov. N.-Bayou
Lacombe. a small settlement eleven miles
east of here, has been the scene of ter
rible tragedy. News has just been received
here of a desperate fight between Arthur
and Edward Iolie on one side and Lawrence
and Edward Cousin on the other, which re-
suited in the killing OF all the parties con-
cerned. Shotguns and pistols were the
weapons used. The cause of the difficulty
is attributed to an old family feud. On ac-
count of remoteness of the place and lack
of the ordinary means of Communication,
the details are necessarily very meagre.
Coroner Pigott has been notified and is now
on his way to the scene of the killing.
