New York, May Is.--A special to Tie
Herald from Washington saws:
While the relations between the
United States and Great Britain are b..
ing more closely knit together. those
with France are not as cordial as the
authorities would like.
IL has developed that there has been a
practical suspension Of reciprocity ne.
goiiaiions between the Washington and
Paris governments due 10 the action Of
the French authorities In increasing the
tariff duty ON several American product.
imported largely into France. This IN.
crease Is particularly felt by meat shin.
pers and indignant protests have been
made to the state department, which
has caused the department 10 submit
formal protest on the subjec, 20 France.
In the meantime the reciprocity ne.
gotiations are languishing aud il is
doubtful II they will ever be resumed
until France mas made saufactory ex.
planaiion Of her action, or. at least ha,
reduced the tariff to the point it was d..
for the Dingley law went into effect
IL Is the firm belief of administration
officials that the French attitude ON the
tariff aud other questions between the
two governments is dictated bv Franco.

question that the Spanish government
Is receiving her moral support. II the

some questions between the two GOV.

IL Is known that the reciprocity nero.
tiaiions between the United state. and
Great Britain for the Bermuda. Bahama
and West Indian islands, belonging 10
Great Britain, are progressing most sat.
isiactorily. and there is some reason IN
believe that Canada will soon enter into
reciprocity negotiations with this conn.

Special Ambassador Foster is also busy
with the Bering sea seal controversy.
aud Il is quite possible that solution ~
this question may be expected in the
near future.
One OF the most pointed features NJ

United States and Great Britain Is the
TACT that Sir Julian Pauncefote /. a
