ENTENTE is CORDIAL.
Relations Between France and
America Very Friendly.


Special Paris Cable letter.
Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
Paris July This week has been most
eyentful, and one OF deep significance TO
a. observing Americans. Indications have
nor been lacking during the past year
Of the anxiety of the French government
and the French press to obliterate the I'M
friendly feeling towards France aroused
In Amer ca by the all ,ged hostile attitude
Ct this country towards the United States
IN the war with Spain and to endeavor
by every means in their power to re-es-
tablish Franco-American relations on
more friendly basis.
These efforts have been attended by
nest satisfactory measure of success, but
the participation of the French govern
ment in and the exceptionally cordial tone
Of the French press towards Washington
and the Fourth of July fetes have given
an unmistakable stamp to the direction OF
the French foreign policy. There is not
the slightest doubt that the French gov
eminent feels It Is matter OF paramount
Importance to their country to secure the
good will of America and to lay the
foundation for more intimate under
anding than ever before existed between
the two republics.
The remarks of French officials and
politicians show that this is dictated, not
merely by sentiment, and an affinity OF
Ideas, but by the best interests of France.
American functionaries here, In their con-
tact with the official world, have been
brought to share In the conviction that
France is sincerely DESTROYS of securing
the cooperation of America. The United
States ambassador, Gen. Horace Porter.
has missed no opportunity tofurther cordial
relations, the growth of which is decid-
elly agreeable to him. The demonstra-
IONS of this week have been of the ut
most value and are universally Interpreted
by the French press as testimony that the
oulk of the American people is not AMI
mated by any spirit of animosity towards
france; but, on the contrary, only enter
tsins the best OF feelings towards the SIS
ter republic.
Archbishop ireland, speaking to rep
feeenta tive of the Associated Press, on
ue subject of the Washington and Lafay-
cue presentations, said:
can testify that they have a remark
sNe good effect ON the people of France.
IHey have opened their hearts to us, ana
nave found that the American nation are
people of sentiment, and not merely
'ommercial people,
me action taken this week by NJ. Ger
,he Roache, one of the representatives
"a me Chamber of Deputies for Guadalupe,
indicates that the good effect produced
among Frenchmen by the American sym
ppd'hy displayed al these fetes may bring
.or'h practical fruits. He has published
% article In Eclair, an influential organ
essesting that steps be taken for the
~ for ba
y, a Franco-American alliance, proposing
Id' eS-Minister Leon Bourgeois be made
nesident. The article attracted consid-
"aoe attention.

Treasures of Greece.

The GROWING piece Of good fortune In
the excavations which have for four years
been carried on at Corinth by the Ameri-
can School was attained the last week In
way.
The only fountain mentioned by Pau
sJnias in the Agora was found and was
absolutely intact, with the bronze lions

The floor with holes under the spout in
which the women in old Corlnth used 70
place their water pitchers Is twentyfour
and a half feet below the surface of the
soil OF to-day.
In pushing into the Agora to the west OF
the Propylaea there appeared in great
confusion PARIS OF a large building, mas
sive architrave blocks with their faces
richly carved with various Ornamental
lion. cornice blocks to match. and. along
with them, a series OF colossal statues
male and female, fortunately-and the
fact is exceptional-with their heads
These were followed by some fine reliefs
both Greek and Roman, particularly a
fine head Of Ariadne in a state of perfect
preservation. as If it had just come from
the sculptors hands.
other buildings adjacent to the Agora
have been partially or wholly laid bare
and the work is skill In progress. But The
GROWING result Of this years work will
doubtless lie this fountain, the top Of

bronze Poseidon with a dolphin at his

The probability Is growing that the mas

statues fell from the Propylaea, "A recon-
