FRANCE AND THE DLNGLEY BILL
Foreign Minister Hanotaux Answers Some
Questions Regarding Effect of Proposed
High Duties Agains st French Products.

Paris. April 1s.-The Dingley tariff bill
has aroused considerable ~antagonkn in
French mercantile circles, where it is
pointed out that the measure may lead TO
a policy disastrous in its effects on GER
tain French industries.
Some representations of this nature
having already been made to members OF
the French government, the Associated
Press sent to NJ. Hanotaux, the French
foreign minister, a number of questions
bearing on the tariff situation and the re-
lations OF the two republics. The French
foreign office offered these written an
swers:
The Federal government at Washing
ton will succeed. without any doubt. in
dra wing closer the bonds which unite
France and the United States by abstain
ing from over taxing imported French
goods, such as sparkling and still wines,
brandies, silks, woolens. gloves. works of
States by quasi prohibitive tariffs. the
product Of French industry and art will
evidently have a contrary effect"
1T Is to be hoped this will not event
ually be done. At the present time there
are nc differences between the two great
republics They are bound together by
too many memories and traditions for a
vcrtable spirit OF hostility to grow be-
tween them. The solution of small cur
rent questions which give rise 10 negotia-
tions between the two countries. Is, how
ever. sometimes rendered difficult by the
argumentative spirit OF the American
state department.

! sular representation 81 the United States.

The Richmond newspapers contain
very cordial notices of the departure
of DR.. j. w. Long. for years one Of the
faculty Of the Medical College of Vir-
ginia, and his return to his native
North Carolina. The Dispatch says he
is lone of the most popular physicians
in the city," and that Ito do honor to
the physician, who, during his brief
residence in this city, has won a place
in their hearts not easily to be filled"
This is gratifying to know how high
this young North Carolina physician
stands in Virginia's chief city. He will
establish a hospital at High Point and
engage in the general practice Of sur
gerry throughout the state. Rev. Ed
ward L. Pell, another able and gifted
North CarOlinian, resident in Rich
mond, and editor of the useful and ex-
cellent family religious monthly paper,
The Bible Reader, in a letter to us,
says of DIR. Long:
mo man who has settled in his city
within my knowledge has risen more
rapidly than DR.. Long, and his remark
able success in his speciality (the dis
eases or women and Chlldren) has won
for him a multitude of friends, includ-
ing our best physicians throughout the
Old Dominion, nan of whom have
protested earnestly against his leaving.
L was n of the professionals, but now
that the matter is settled, my only
concern is to see him cordially well
coined on his return. / regard DR.. Long
as one of the biggest of all the North
Carolina boys that have made a name
for themselves abroad. Richmond has
not been slow to recognize his abilities
q happen to know that his practice is
lucrative), and the press here has been
very kind to him."
Mr.. Pell writes without the knowl-
edge Of the doctor. North Carolina,
hospitable to strangers, will be quite
certain to give cordial greeting to her
returning son who has won honors
abroad.
