RECIPROCITY NEGOTIATIONS.
NOT TO CEASE WHEN THE TIME LIMIT FIXED
IN THE DrNGLEY Law EXPIRES.

Washington, April 25.--It Ia said at the State De-
partment that the expiration on July "a OF the
period allowed by the Dngley act for making reci-
procity arrangements and treaties with foreign
countries will not terminate the activities OF the
Department In that direction. The view Is taken
that the act itself cannot and does not In any
manner limit treaty making power OF the Presl-
dent. The Department will proceed with the draft
ing of such reciprocity treaties and arrangements
as appear TO he desirable, and the work Will con-
tinue under the direction Of Mr. Kasson. the pres,
ent special commissioner who is In charge or all
the details OF the negotiations.
II appears that some Of the European nations,
and It Is believed that Germany is included In the
any arrangement that might be framed under tne
terms OF the Dingley act have resigned themselves
to walt until July "a, with the purpose OF seeking
TO better their commercial relations with the Cnted
States after that date by the negotiation OF seherai
treaties.
