Had Been Anticipated.

A conflict between the French and
British forces in the Lagos Hinterland
has been anticipated for some time
past. Both countries have been hurry
ing troops into the disputed territory.
The trouble is of about thirty years
standing. In 1870 France and Great
Britain opened negotiations for the set
Element of their respective frontiers in
West Africa and il was decided in sub
stance that French influence and au-
thority should be confined to the north
of a certain line and that Great Britain
should have a free hand south of this
line. The outbreak of the Franco Prus
sian war interrupted the negotiations.
There was considerable opposition in
both countries to the cession of any ter
| ritory and during the next five years
| difficulties frequently occurred. Finally
it was resolvevt to appoint commission
| ers to reconsider the whole matter and
as a result in the course of the next
| ten years, four separate agreements
| were concluded.
