FRANCO-AMERICAN TREATY.
A Most Desirable Trade Arrange
men<.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The sign
ing of the Franco-American reciprocity
treaty is accepted in official quarters,
government and diplomatic, as not only
a desirable trade arrangement, but also
another evidence of the friendly po-
litical ties between the two countries.
Expressions to this effect were ex-
changed during the latter days of the
negotiations between those highest in
authority on both sides.
The shipments of the United States
to France are considerably more than
those coming from France. Last year
our exports to France exceeded 5OO,-
100000 francs, while the trade froc
France amounted to about 250, 100000
francs. More than half of this traffic
will be influenced by the rates estab-
lished in the new treaty. In the case
of the French shipments goods worth
50,OOO,000 francs are on the free list.
while another 5O000,000 francs of
goods are not Influenced by the treaty,
leaving shipments valued at 100000
600 francs to be directly affected by
the new rates. The value of Amerf-
can goods affected would be even
greater than this owing to the larger
amount of American exports.

They were among the passengers OF

so many difficulties from the time she

rival at KotZebue, and were among
the first arrivals at Kotzebue. Thev

COOK INLET EXPEDITION.
Captain Glenn, in Command of the
Party, Reports His Experience.

WASHINGTON, July 25-Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn has re-
ceived a communication from Captain
Edward T. Glenn, commanding the
Cook Inlet exploring expedition in
Alaska, dated Tyconak, Alaska, June
26, 1899, in which he describes his ex
perience in taking the steamship
Duchesne from Ladds Station, Cook In
let, up the Sushitna River. Captain
Glenn says:
"As result of this trip feel salts
fed in stating the Sushitna River is
nearly, which means practically dis
tance of 160 to 165 miles north from
Tyconak or the north foreland of Cook
Inlet. The only boat that can be used
for navigating the river is a light
draught stern wheeler with sufficient
power to propel her at the rate of thir
teen to fifteen knots per hour.
''The- results of this trip are certain
to be of great benefit to the entire Ter
ritory, in case 1 succeed in finding an
overland trail from the head of naviga-
ton of the. river to the Tanana River
and Circle City, which I have every
reason to believe from present infor-
nation I will succeed in finding. This
trail not only will be valuable during
the season of navigation, but available
for winter use as we'll. because the
Tanana Indians as we'll as the Skittig
Nation Indians located at the head of
the Sushitna make use of it in bring
ing their furs down to market during
The winter or closed season.
1T would be of value to this sec
ton of Alaska, because, first, the val
ley of the Sushitna River is very wide
and contains a large amount of arabic
land which the season in this portion
Of Alaska permits the cultivation with
a profit to the producer, when there is
a market for his products; second, be-
cause it is now known that the sec
ton of country near the head of nav
igation, together with the range OF
foothills lying between the Sushitna
and Malunaska Rivers, and between
the head of navigation and tide water.
with the small amount of prospecting
already undertaken there, contains
gold in paying quantities. This gold
has, so far as present information
goes, has been found in placer ground
only, yet I have personally seen gold
that I knew came from the section OF
the country mentioned, of sufficient
coarseness and quantity to indicate
to my mind clearly that it will be,
when developed, one of the best min
eral producing sections of that portion
Of AlaSka." "
