object of Promoters is TO BENEFIT Rae
Ing Men at Lntonin, Newport and
LouisViiIc-LonR seasons
Injury.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-The Times Herald to-.
morrow will say:
An attempt will be made by a faction in
the American Turf congress to pass legis-
lation limiting the racing season in Chicago
from June Is to November /.
A special meeting of the congress will be
held at Covington, KY, January 15 for
the purpose of reviving the circuit plan and
aloting dates to each track. William f.
Schultz, president of the turf body, and Ed
Corrigan are supposed to be the men behind
the deal st. Louis and Oakland will also
be affected should the Schultz -Corrigan fac
tion succeed in the January meeting.
The object which the turf promoters have
in naming dates for Chicago and st. Louis
is to benefit the racing men at Latonia, New
port and Louisville. 1t is claimed that the
long season in Chicago and st. Louis has
done much to injure the sport along the
Ohio river where the purses are smaller.
Corrigans particular interest is to get a
knock at the California Jockey club, Of
which his particular enemy, Tom Williams,
is proprietor.

Bushnell is in receipt of letter from his
sister, DR.. Katherine Bushnell, who is at
present in India doing missionary work.

labor at the rate of 10 cents day. which
is sufficient in that country to supply food.

can be sunk there will be no more famine.

FRANCE AND UNITED STATES
Reciprocity Treaty Submitted to the French
Parliament.
BILL IS INTRODUCED IN TIL. CHAMBER
Elaborate Preamble Sets Forth the
kindly Disposition of the Amcr-
lean Government Toward
the French Nation.

PARIS, Dec. 2O.--A bill submitting the
Franco American reciprocity treaty to the
approval OF the French Parliament was in
troduced today in the Chamber OF Deputies.
The government in an elaborate preamble
makes a point of setting forth the kindly
disposition Of the American government
which has enabled the negotiations to be
brought to a successful conclusion and
expates Oh the great stimulus the treaty
will give to commerce between the two
countries.
The preamble gees on to explain that the
treaty is the result Of two years work 1t
says that while pressed to retaliate against
the restrictions of the Dingley tariff the
government deemed resort to diplomacy
preferable in view of "our traditional SYM
pathies for the republic Of the United States
and due consideration for our true economic
interests"
1t then recapitulates the provisional ar
rangements of May 10, 1898. which opened
the way for further negotiations, as French
imports into the United States relieved from
the tariff increased so per cent. Such
American productions as machine TOOLS in
which American product is superior and
constitutes danger to French industry are,
the preamble continues, still excluded from
the minimum tariff. Moreover, agricultural
ana cattle products are similarly excluded
in order to protect the French from formid-
able American competition.
This result" says the preamble, "is all
the more important because Mr. kasson
made pressing demands on behalf of Amer
ican agriculture. The French ambassador
was not only able to resist them, but even
obtained useful reductions in favor of
French agricultural products exported to
the United States, such olive oil and
vegetables"
After particularly calling attention to the
important fact that the concessions obtained
by France are exclusive and should tre
mendously increase French exports while at
the same time the treaty is so arranged as
to prevent an American invasion of French
markets. the preamble concludes as follows:
The government at the White House, in
signing with us this treaty, has shown its
desire to reserve to French commerce the
first fruits of the tariff concessions which
the Dngley bill authorized to be granted
to foreign powers.
This action gives the treaty a value 1t
would be impossible to misunderstood and
makes this document a work which should
draw closer at the same time the economic
relations of the two peoples and the political
afinities of the two republics"

After giving Eggers every chance in the
world to make a case, County Attorney
Shields, who personally conducted the exam

oner and Judge Babcock granted the request.
