WEST AFRICA TROUBLE.
Basis of the Difficulty Between
France and Great Britain,

PARIS, Oct. PIT is understood that
the fundamental basis of difficulty be-
tween France and Great Britain in
West Africa is that France fails to rec
ognize the treaties concluded with ma
tive 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
rnent. 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.
