dent has issued proclamation, grant ing the reciprocity reductions specified Tn the agreement, and at the same time the French authorities at Paris will de- cree reduction in the French rates in accordance With the agreement
 The conclusion of the agreement is a source of general congratulation among the officials of the State Department ana or the French Embassy. Several reciprocity negotiations have been in progress, and 1t was thought those with Great Britain were likely to be concluded first.
 The French negotiations began last october, when M. Patenotre was the french Ambassador here. It soon de- Veloped, however that they expected much larger concessions, particularly on meat prod it's, than M. Patenotre was ready to yield. M. Cambon, for merry Governor General of Algiers, ana regarded as one of the most cap- able diplomatic officials in the French service, when he succeeded M. Paten- otre concessions were made which allowed the two Governments to come together. It was a matter Of no little surprise that the arrangement was con- cluded at the present time when the war emergency compelled this Govern ment to look for every possible resource for revenue, and when there was con- centration of official attention on meas ures relating directly to the war.

 The United States and France have concluded the first commercial agree- ment entered into under section of the Dingley tariff law. The negotiations have been pending for the last eight months, and after many vicissitudes were concluded on Saturday last, when Ambassador Cambon, in behalf of France, and the Hon. John Kasson, Reciprocity Commissioner for the United States, fixed their signatures to the formal agreement. It makes i'm portant changes in the tariff rates on g number of articles constituting the chief trade betv cen this country and France. The particular advantages Sc cured by the United States are on meat products and lard compounds, France reducing her rates one-half on meat products and about one-third on lard compound. The chief benefits to France are in reduction in rates on brandies, stilled wine, vermouth and works of art. There is no reduction in the rate on champagnes, although the Dingley law contemplated reciprocity reduc- tion on champagnes in case mutual concessions were given.
 By the terms of the agreement the new rates go into effect on June 1, or next Wednesday. Tn the meantime under the terms of the law, the PresI-

FEARS ATTACK
 BY PIRATES Klondiker Unwilling to
 Ship Gold. RUMORS SCARE DAWSONITES BELIEVE TREASURE SHIPS MAY
 BE CAPTURED. Mine Owner Stanley Leaves for the North to Investigate Be-

 Nuggets.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, May 30.-W. M. Stanley, the man who five years ago was un- able to get a position as a common la- borer in this city, and who is to-day one of the richest men in the country, left for Dawson on the Rosalie last night. He is going on a strange mis- sion. Up in the Dawson dumps there is in the neighborhood of $6OO,OOO which belongs to MT. Stanley and his sons. It will soon be ready for shipment to the States. MT. Stanley's son, Samuel, is at Dawson looking after his fathers and brothers interests. He is sup posed to have charge of the gold, but he wants to get rid of that responsi- bility, because he fears that he may lose the family fortune.
 The report Transportation companies say it is ridiculous) has reached Daw- son that pirates propose to attack the gold ships this year. Therefore Sam uel Stanley does not want to ship the gold down, unless his father first visits Dawson and says it will be all right.
 Mir Stanley is going to Dawson for the sole purpose of sizing up the Situa- tion. If he concludes there is reason for believing the report he will bury his gold and not bring 1t down until the Government will supply protection for the gold ships.
 Mr. Stanley says he has gold enough in his mines to make him and his sons millionaires and he does not propose to have pirates get it. He believes it more than likely that some fool pirates will make an attack on the gold boats. If President Mckinley does what MT. Stanley believes he should do the Wheeling will be sent north to escort all gold boats to the Sound.

PARIS, May 3O.-The struggle be- tween the United States and Spain is probably followed with keener inter- est in France than in any other country in Europe. In Paris, especially, all war news is closely followed by pass CTS by eagerly buying evening papers from the street vendors every time new details are received from the seat of war. While all classes are interested, it is more especially among laboring classes that one hears the most sen sible comments on the events which brought about the conflict and it is this class that accords to free America the most sympathy. Of this fact we have been able to convince ourselves by investigations carried on at the headquarters of the large workmen's s corporations in Parisian fauborgs. M. Powrier, former member of the Typo graphical Federations Committee, gives his opinion in substance as follows:
 We most sincerely hope for the tri- umph of the United States. We affirm that to the United States belongs the palm in modern social movements. by reason of the number of workingmens' syndicates and associations, which play an active role in the solution of prob lems which have vital importance for us. All printers in France now have their eyes fixed in sympathy on the United States. because the United States is marching with giant strides toward the socialistic ideal"
 I asked the opinion of the Deputy of the Exereme Left (that is t. say the representative of the people, elected with a purely socialist programme in a center composed mostly of manual workmen), Ernest Roche, Deputy of the Batignollis quarter, and reelected last election by a large majority, who said:
 Tn addition to the natural inclina- tion that attracts American and French worknen toward each other. many causes i pei Frenchmen to hope that the conflict between Spain and the United States may terminate advantageously to the latter nation.
 'This is mainly owing to the cause of the quarrel-the emancipation of a people crushed under a cruel yoke and to which the United States have bent their energi $ = America for Americans, Cuba for Cubans, which for us is the significance of the pres ent war, the end of which we trust is close at hand.
 Tn brief in popular districts, in the workshops, even in the French Cham Der of Deputies, public opinion is, by large majority. favorable to the American cause"

ST. LOUIS TO SCOUT
 FOR THE CADIZ FLEET
Auxiliary Cruiser Dispatched to As certain the Whereabouts of
 the Reserve Vessels.


 NEW YORK, May 30.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs:
 Is Spain's Cadiz squadron on it's way to Western waters? This is a question which naval officers in authority are asking each otho~. They have taken means to obtain a solution of it by dis patching the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis to ascertain the fleets whereabouts and cable the result of her search to Wash ingtOn.
 While Captain c. F. Goodrich. com- manding the St. Louis, was in Wash ington Saturday he carefully went over the situation with the naval war board. Confident of the hemming in of the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba, the chief concern of the authorities is to prevent the Sranish naval forces from reaching Western waters. The suspl- cion entertained by the authorities that the Spanish reserve squadron is bound for Western waters has developed from information they received on Friday last announcing the departure of the armorcladS of the Spanish fleet from Cadiz, ostensibly for target practice.
 Members of the naval war board be- lieve it possible that the Spanish ves- sels received their final instructions be- fore their departure from Cadiz and that they are now on their way toward North America. The St. Louis will scout for them and probably the Yale and Harvard will be relieved from duty near Santiago de Cuba and resume their stations to the westward of the Windward Islands on the lookout for Spanish endorsements.

 HONGKONG, May 30.-Supplies are reaching Manila plentfully from the surrounding country. The Spaniards are working upon the Notifications, but their guns are old and useless and they are short of ammunition.
 Rear Admiral Dewey has informed the authorities at Manila that he will hold them responsible for the life of the captain of the Spanish gunboat Callao, captured by the United States feet The Spaniards have been threatening to shoot him for surrendering, although confronted by the whole American fleet
 All the American ships are at Ca vite, in Manila Bay. Salt provisions are plentiful, but fresh provisions are not obtainable. There is no sickness in the American fleet.
 In reply to the Spanish attempt to win over Aguinaldo's men, the in- surgents are said to have informed the Spaniards that they are neutral and will await events.

Washington, May 3Os
 State and Navy Department officials declare the report that this Govern ment is preparing to lay a cable to Manila via Honolulu is ridiculous. They say that while such a cable might be undertaken some time in the future and probably will be, especially if we per- manently occupy the Philippines, 1t is rank nonsense to think of such thing at this time
 The surface distance from San Fran cisco to Manila is 7100 nautical miles, but the cable length would probably approximate 5000 miles. Lieutenant Commander Clover, the chief hydro grapher of the navy, after cable route had been surveyed from Monte rey Bay, Cal, to Honolulu, estimated it would cost S1200 a mile. The sur face distance from San Francisco to Honolulu Is only 20S9 miles, but Clarke, Forde & Taylor, the London cable con- tractors, estimated that 2500 miles of cable would be required.
 The topography of the oceans bed. of course, necessitates the additional lengths of cable This would be true also of the cable if continued from Honolulu to the Orient.
 Admiral Belknap, who made sound 1ngs in the Pacific, found Golf the coast of Japan and China) the deepest water that ever plummet sounded. In many places 1t was three or four miles deep and the piano wire (which is used in deep sea soundings) broke many times by reason of it's own weight before he could touch bottom. Under these con- ditions the cost of the cable survey and cable construction would be great ly increased. A cable from San Fran cisco to Manila would cost at least $1500 mile owing to the great depth, and would require perhaps as much as 5000 miles of wire. This would bring the total cost up to SIS, GOO, 900, exclusive of landings, terminal stations, appar- atus, instruments, repair ships, etc.
 Cable construction cannot be under taken without specific appropriation being made by Congress. Therefore the report that this Government Is pre- pairing to lay such a cable is a mani fest absurdity.

obstructing the majorities and the ad- ministration, and are proving a serious obstacle in the way of the successful prosecution of the war with Spain and putting the country in danger of very serious foreign complications.
 Strong efforts are to be made to get the annexation resolution through the House of Representatives during the present week, in spite of the opposition of Speaker Reed. It is believed the Speaker will ultimately yield to the overwhelming desire of his party in the House, but he has not yet shown any signs of doing so. He has not abso- lutely refused to grant a special rule for the consideration of the resolution, but he has not given Representative Hit or any other advocate of annexa- tion any assurance he will do so.

Special Dispatch to The Cali.

NEW YORK. May BOA Washing ton special to the Herald says: Sena- tor Lodges Hawaiian amendment to the war revenue bill will probably be laid on the table if the Senator persists in pushing it to a vote. Many of the strongest advocates of annexation in the Senate think it would be a very serious mistake to risk indefinitely de- laying the revenue bill and weighing it down with free silver and other amend ments for the sake of expediting Hawaiian annexation.
 Senator Lodge will accomplish a great deal, however, by his course. He will be able to present arguments for annexation in a speech in open session of the Senate and show how the minori- ties in both houses of Congress are
