shore stations 1t is the result OF several months
hard work the part OF the Equipment Bureau
which has collected board the ships pigeons from

,rc1pROClTY WITH FRANCE
surRMAN AND NJ. PATENOTRE DIS
c1rss THE PROPOSED TREATY.

srEJrCT so IMPORTANT. HOWEVER THAT
, ACTION WILL NOT BE TAKEN UNTIL
TUE RETURN OF PRESIDENT MKINLEY
washington, Sept. 3.-M. Patenotre. the
-..,ch Ambassador, called on Secretary Sher-
-, to-day relative to the proposed reciprocity
.-..,v between the United States and France.
-. .ubtect was discussed in a general way.
So, owing to the Importance of the questions
,,,o,ved II is not expected that final results
IN be reached until the return OF the Pres-
,.,, who takes a personal interest in those
,eciprocity negotiations.
Under the new law II appears that two forms
., reciprocity are provided. both of which
RANCE is desrous Of securing. The first form
.or,emplates Commercial agreements in which
,scprocal concessions may he secured" This
,.ayes IT TO the judgment of the President to
,.auce the duties on certain articles. The
President is empowered to grant these reduc-
lions without the formaities of treaty. which
ordinarily must be submitted to and ratified by
che Senate The matter of securing concessions
which shall be reciprocal and equivalent is left
.,,,rely 10 the judgment of the President When
the agreement is made. the reductions of duty
% into operation by a Presidential proClama-
ZION AS France is a heavy exporter Of the art-
ces specified. this form Of reciprocity agree
ment is of special Sencern to that country: tho
,rd is'n Of the President, the law also pro-
yides FOR reciprocity treaties covering the whole
range OF articles included in the tariff. II au-
ihorizes reduction of 20 per cent OF the duties
on such articles as may be agreed upon. or the
sro nsfer of dutiahle goods to the free list for
neriod not exceeding five years. These treaties,
however, must be ratified by the Senate and
approved by Congress before they go into
ssect II is probable that France will open
neeoti,tions for this latter form OF reciprocity
Although it offers no immediate benefit. owing
h the delays incident to securing ratification
BY the Senate and approval by congress. Inc
Later feature is unusual and presents the only
case In which treaty must go before the House
Of Representatives as we'll as the Senate
Under the circumstances the negotiations with
France are likely TO be confined for the present
n the reciprocity arrangement" as this may
be concluded at once and put into immediate
effect by the President

TOR POWIp

Washington. Sept. 3.-Actng Secretary Roosevelt
held several conferences to-day with Admiral Mat
thews chief of the Bureau Of Yards and Docks.
and Constructor Bowles, of the New-York NAVY
Yard, who ca me to Washington for that purpose
IN regard the best method OF Fastening the work
Of repairing the big drydock No 3. The discussion
touched tho selection Of one OF the civil engi-
neers Of the Navy who will devote his entire at
tention 10 the work. which the Department regards
as of the first importance Constructor Bowles
went to Halifax and had charge of the docking or
the Indiana. and he discussed the English docking
system and also the dock at Halifax with Mr..
Roosevelt. He says that the Halifax dock Is fine
one and Of the substantial kind that should be
built in the United States. Speaking OF the neces-
sity of docking other naval vessels. he said that
the New-York and the Texas ought TO go into dock
as soon as the squadron finishes its man6uvrcs.
1t is possible to dock these vessels in Dock NO at
the New-York yard at spring tide but 1t is diff
cult task The work on them will have TO be com
pleted in short time, or the dock would he occu-
pied for two weeks As to the other vessels. Con-
structor RowleS of the opinion that the repairs
on Dock No 8 would he completed in time for them
unless accidents should compel immediate repairs
The constructor also spoke OF the necessity ior
more docks. He said IL was not kely that hhother
vessel would be TO Halifax except IN case OF
urgent necessity and he believed that the fact tha
a vessel had 10 be sent away would cause me
building of more docks. He thinks that hereafter
docks should be built to last az long as the iyra-
mids and large enough 10 accommodate the largest
