LONDON, June A.-The editorials in the

the threatening dispute In the Niger valley
has been arranged. They confess, however,
that M. Hanotaux, the French foreign
minister, has made an excellent bargain for
France, some Of them sorrowfully reproach-
ing Lord Salisbury for allowing England
to be "over squeezed"
The convention with reference to the dis
puted territory in the Niger valley, was
signed to-day. France agrees to evacuate
Kissi, Boria, Achigor, Kiam, Boussa,
Couba and Ilo but she retains Nikki. Fur
thermore, on the left bank Of the Niger,
the French get triangular piece Of terri
tory whose base extends from Say to 1lo.
In return. they give Great Britain Bornu.
including the portion east Of the meridian
passing through Barua.
On the right bank Of the NIGER. the
French get the country from Say to Ilo,
and also Gurrna. Beyond this they get
thirty-year leases of bonded areas at
Liaba, and facilities for transit on bond.
This is to secure the benefit Of navigable
portions Of the river. In return they give
thirty years of reciprocity for the whole
West coast colonies, from the Liberian
frontier to the Niger. with respect to the
gold coast, the French evacuate Wa and
probably Pumu and Leo. In return, Great
Britain gives UP Bona and Dawkita, and
accepts the Volta as the best natural
boundary. The French retain Moss, which
they have held for eighteen months.

WASHINGTON. June 13.-Ex-Senator In
gals, of Kansas, will spend few days
here. He denies the report that he would
take q position on General Miles stan. He
has been lecturing for the past month in
Iowa, Illinois. Missouri and Kansas. and
claims to have observed public sentiment
In these states closely on the issues aris-
ing from the war. Concerning the acquisl-
ton of territory by the United States he
said there was little sentiment in favor
Of such a policy. except In regard to Ha-
waii. Az to the Philippines he had found
little or no interest in the rural population
Of the states through which he has travel
ed. and Porto Rico II seldom mentioned.
The only idea the farmers have regard
ing these possessions, he said. was to hold
them as securities for the payment Of war
indemnities. "One thing that has impressed
me forcibly," said Mr.. Ingalls,. 'is the utter
lack of jingoism or the desire for territorial
expansion on the part Of the country popu-
lation. They generally believe that the ISL
ands wrested from Spain are not adapted
to the development of the Anglo-Saxon
race. They are also interested In having
operations pushed with greater vigor and
the purposes accomplished for which the
war was declared. The obliteration Of the
frontiers between the North and the South
is the source OF the greatest satisfaction"
