WASHINGTON, July "A good deal
of surprise has been caused in official
circles here by the unexpected opposi.
ton developing in France to the ratifi-
cation of the reciprocity treaty just ne
gotiated by Mr.. Kasson and M. Cambon.
1t is not deemed expedient now to make
public the details of the convention,
but it can be stated authoritatively that
i'm the opinion of our own officials the
French have driven hard bargain in
making the treaty They. have, it is
said, secured more advantages than
they had any just reason to expect at
the beginning of negotiations, and that
success was ultimately obtained is
owing to the fact that the negotiators
felt bound to observe the behest of the
president and make treaty at all
hazards. t'- a.

CLEVELAND, July 27.-That the pres
snce of the strong force Of militia now
doing duty in this city has already had
a most salutary effect upon the lawless
element was evidenced by the fact that
the distractions placed upon the tracks
of the Big Consolidated street car lines
during the night were found to be
fewer than at any time since the pres
ent strike was inaugurated. Cars on
four Of the most important lines of the
Big Consolidated system were operated
throughout the night. Insthe morning
practically the full quota of cars were
running on all lines, except Abbey,
Union and Clark avenue. It was, how
ever, notable fact that most of the
cars were either empty or carried only
a very few passengers, even during the
early hours of the day when traffic is
usually the heaviest. Either y through
fear of violence or out of sympathy for
the strikers, very large proportion Of
the people declined, under present con-
ditions, to ride on the Big Consolidated
lines, and in most cases walked many
blocks in order to reach the cars of the
Little Consolidated company, which is
not involved in the STRIKE
About 1900 troops are now acting in
cooperation with the regular police
force of the city, under direction of the
mayor and the command of the mil
itary power of the state.
President Everett Of the Big Console
dated, has announced that he will take
back $50 of the old men, provided they
will apply individually. He adds that
possibly this number may be increased
as vacancies occur, as a result Of the
''weeding OUT process to take place
among the new men employed since the
strike began.
The strike leaders still insist that
every man must be taken back, and
above all, that the union must be recog-
nized by the company. They claim
that their ranks remain practically I'M
broken, and that they are in a position
to hold out indefinitely; that the Big
Consolidated is losing money to the ex-
tent of many thousands Of dollars pei
day, and sooner or later will concede
the demands Of the strikers.

DETROIT, July 27.-The combination

Smith shoe factory has ended. All the
800 employees will resume work in the
morning. The company has gained a
victory over the union, but according
to the strike leaders there will be more
or less warfare against the factory by
the international Union. Although
Pingree & Smith will again employ
union hands, they discontinue use of
the union label and insist on regulating
wages.

French Consul at New York Says
the New Treaty Favors the
~ United States,
But: France Also Made q Very
'"- Fair Bargain From Her
!. H. H.. Point of View.
Washington Authorities Say That
France Drove a Very Hard
--',4. .-as' aEA@1
Bargain.

New YORK, July 27.-Edmond Bru-
wart. French consul at New York, says
of the new reciprocity treaty between
France and the United States: -
II regard it as an excellent thing for
the United States. America was the
only country which did not have the
benefit of our minimum tariff. AS the
manufacturers abroad are satisfied with
profit Of 5 per cent, the difference be-
tween the maximum and n1inimum
rates was sufficient to keep the United
States out of the French markets.
'tFrance's'annual importation of man
ufactured articles is about $3.50, 00o, 900,
and the United States will get good
share Of this. America undersells Eng
land in cotton goods in China, and there
is no reason why it cannot do the same
in France. It will be the same with
other articles.
England, Belgium, Germany and
| Austria now supply France with her
imported manufactured articles. The
leading imports are raw cotton, wheat,
tobacco, mineral oil, copper and lead.
America sends agricultural implements,
sewing machines, electrical appliances
and pumps.
"There are 642 articles on the duti-
able list Of the French tariff, and the
treaty gives the United States the min
imum rate on all except IL. Germany,
England and other countries which
have treaties with France do not enjoy
the minimum rate on these IL excep-
tions, which are chiefly agricultural
products. The average difference be-
tween the French maximum and min.
imum rate is 80 per cent, so that i1ff-
ports from this country will pay ole
third less duty when the treaty goes
into effect.
*There are 1853 dutiable items in the
tariff law of the United States and in
return for her concessions France will
obtain lower rate in less than 100t6f
them, the average reduction being OILY
10 per cent. While this seems one
sided, it is not so much so as it appears,
because American goods have been se6t
into France as English goods under the
minimum tariff.
II do not think the treaty can go into
effect before next February. It must Be
ratified both here and in France and
signed by President Loubet and Presi-
dent Mckinley. Then copies of the
treaty must be exchanged.
''France has given all she can give,
because with her $1,000, 100000 of ma
tional debt, she cannot reduce her tariff
any further. We did not get what Ye
asked, by any means, but we obtained
all the United States was willing to
give. We realized that the treaty must
be such congress would approve it, and
France deferred to President McKin-
ley's wishes on that account -,
Secresy is maintained in regard to the
/ class of goods on which the American
tariff will be lowered. This is done in
order to avoid the oppositisn of interests
which might object to foreign competi-
ton in the home market. -
