TO AVOID Observation-Disclosures
The American delegates met to-day an1
asked that the word duty in Article

word may in no case imply any obliga'
ton on the part Of the United States to
interfere in European affairs, and vice
versa.
The discussion among the French dele
gates. who framed the article, and inc
Americans lasted several hours Ehoru
are now being made to md a suitable
word TO substitute for duty which vii
meet the wishes of the American dele
Gates without weakening the purport o
the article.
