Trouble netwcen France ana Britair

Paris, Oct. 2s.-It is understood that
the fundamental basis OF difficulty be-
tween France and Great Britain In
West Africa Is that France declines 10
recognize the treaties concluded with
native rulers by officers OF the British
Niger company until the text Of such
treaties has been officially commune
Gated to France by the British govern
ment. Thus. the French government
claims that many OF the treaties made
with African potentates In behalf Of
France take precedence over the treat
les negotiated in behalf OF the British
Niger company.
