franchise for an electric line.
ITO the Honorable Mayor and Council
OF the City of Ell Paso:
Neutrality-suspicious. committee on Or.
diuance and Rules, to whom was re-
fsrred IAN Ordinance Granting q
Franchise to an Electric Car Line,
etc." begs leave to submis the fol.
lowing report:
''NO one appreciates more than does
your committee our need OF an electric
street car line ard the public spirit of
the gentlemen working to secure the
same. Your committee earnestly de-
sires to do all in it's power to aid the
efforts OF these gentlemen, but at the
same time IL equally DESTROYS of doing
what IL can to guard the welfare of Ell
Paso and have the line built upon those
terms that are most advantageous to
the people of this city.
I'VE have managed to get ALONG
with mule cars for the past fourteen
years, and now want a change. If the
proposed ordinance passes as it now is
the streets upon which this franchise
rests will have fastened upon them q
street car system from which there can
be no change for fifty years Consider
Ing the recent rapid development of
the science of municipal government,
1t Is not at all improbable that the
change OF opinion In regard to the man
sgement OF street railway lines within
the next fourteen years will be Just as
great as the change of opinion within
the past fourteen years that now de-
mands an electric instead of a mule car
line.
promising to do all in it's power to
aid in securing an electric street car
line, your committee nevertheless
deems L. best under the circumstances
TO make haste slowly, and consid ering

proof of the cordial feeling entertained
for Americans.
From a semi-official source the fol-
lowing statement is made:
From a commercial standpoint
France is as much interested in Ameri-
can as in Spanish trade, and conse-
quently she has no reason to jeopardize
her friendly relations with the United
states. Still she feels sympathy for
her unfortunate neighbor and rejoices
heartily at the act hat peace is to DE
arranged and that the French ambas-
sador. M. Cambon, has been the mes
senger of peace.
"As to the terms upon which peace
will be arranged, the French govern
ment and public opinion in France are
perfectly aware that the United States
will no longer be satisfied with the mere
independence of Cuba, considering that
the war has cost her considerable. Con-
sequently the French press, and espe-
cially the Journal de Debats and Temps
are already taking into account that
important element in the settlement OF
peace"

As VIEWED BY FRANCE
A Desire to Resume Former
Friendly Relations.
MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE
No Doubt Was Ever Entertained as to
the Result OF the War With
Spain A Cordial Feeling
for the United States.

Copyright 1898 by Associated Press.
Paris, July 30.-Tkere is a strong ie-
sire In French official circles to bring
about a complete resumption of the
pleasant relations with the United
States which existed previous to the
trouble between Spain and the United
States n which were distributed by
French newspaper ~utterances. 1t il
pointed out that the nearer the Span
ish-American war comes to a close, the
clearer ii is to sober-minded French
men that public opinion I'm America has
been mistaken in regard to the real
opinion and feeling of France towards
the United States.
1t is added that in spite of what was
written in the newspapers here or dis
cussed In social circles when the war
began, no doubt was entertained any
where in France as to the result of hos
%tiiities. The weakness and inferiority
of Spain were so evident that, It is
claimed here, it would be unfair now
to assert that the American victories
have caused a change of public opin-
ion in rance and that the French
newspapers to-day think it wiser to
favor the conqueror.
In explanation of the tone of the
French press towards the United
States, II is said hat the language used
by the newspapers at present is in sub
stance the same as used three months
ago. and that the reason the American
people have been under the impression
that the French newspapers were hos
tile to the United States and favorable
to Spain is due to the fact that only
the less sensible part of the French
press was quoted in the cable dis
patches, while such papers as the Jour
nal de Debats, the Figaro and the
Temps and some others have not ia
vored either side in the war and have
furnished their readers with honest ac-
counts of the different features of the
hostilities.
Continuing. IL Is argued that some of
the leading members of the French
press were interviewed during the war
and their statements leave no room for
doubt hat they entertained a cordial
feeling towards the United States,
while French business men who were
similarly interviewed were even more
emphatic in their expressions of friend
ship towards America. Finally, the
Frenchmen say that the recent celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July here was the
occasion of bringing forth additional

ders for future delivery. have been grow
ing more serious. The buyers wanted the
material they had bargained for; they in
many instances wanted il in even larger
quantities than they had range to re-
ceive it: and. when in reply to their speci-
hcations they were favored with ~explana-
lions, excuses and promises, but no ship
ments, their business became more or less
d~eranged. 1t is remarkable hat quite a
number OF large consumers of iron and
steel are now running their works day
and night. Their surplus produce has been
cleaned out, their stocks are bare, and
although the season is ordinarily ended
at this time, they are making strenuous
efforts to fill an urgent demand that lin
gers.
