GERS and 693 died from disease. Most of the
deaths by violence occurred in battle There were
however 1877 deaths from violence outside of actual
hostilites. 1t is a singular fact that more than
half OF the latter class OF deaths were caused by
fatal results in the period covered by the reports

ACTION ON FRENCH TREATY
TINE FOR RATIFICATION EXTENDED
YEAR.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSEl
Washington, March 21.-Secretary Hay and
Ambassador Jules Carnbon signed to-day at the
State Department a protocol extending Tor one
year the period originally set for the ratification
Of the Franco-Amercan reciprocity treaty.
Ratifications were to be exchanged on or before
March "a but so far neither the United States
Senate nor the French Chamber OF Deputies has
given it's assent 70 the convention It is init
mated that the French Chamber Is ready to
give it's approval. and has only delayed action
because of the vigorous opposition which the
treaty has encountered here
The signing of the protocol does not indicate.
according to the friends OF the proposed reel
procity agreement, that hope Of action by the
Senate at this session has been abandoned.
Nevertheless, all signs at the Capitol point TO the
failure OF the Committee on Foreign Relations
to force vote before adjournment That COM
mittee is engrossed with other executive and
legislative business that it can scarcely hope
to find the time and energy to push the French
commercial treaty through, in the face of an
opposition inspired by active and powerful
an influence in the Senate as the Committee on
Finance This committee has expressed It's de-
sire to study the effect American commerce
and industry of the reciprocal concessions Wnlch
tne treaty sanctions. and this investigation Will
almost certainl! involve delay sufficient to
carry the final vote beyond the early date
which the Republican managers hope to set Tor
adjournment.
One argument recently put forward by the
friends Of the reciprocity treaty has given
serious concern to those members of the ways
ana Means Committee of the House and the
Finance Committee of the Senate who had a
share in framing the Dingley Tariff law of 1897.
It has been urged in support of the treaty that
the trainers of the Dingiey law purposely raised
the rates on classes of French imports In order
to have something TO give away in future reci-
procity negotiations This imputation is re-
sented by members of the leading committees of
the two houses who deny that they were inf1u-
enced in arranging the tariff schedules Of 1887
by any Interior motives of that character.

BILL FAVoRABLY ACTED ON BY THE HOUSE
BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
Washington, March "A bill restricting Ma
tional banks from making loans to their officers
was favorably acted by the House Committee on
Banking and Currency to-day. The bill has been
urged by the Controller the Currency the
ground that many bank failures were caused by
ill-advlsed loans to officials OF the banks. The ex-
pectel large increase of small banks under
the new financial law is said to be additional reason
for the restriction of loans to bank officers, The
bill provides that National banking association
shall make any loan to its president its vce-presi-
dent, cashier, any of its directors clerks,
telerS bookkeepers, agents, servants other per-
sons in it's employ until the proposition TO make
such a loan shall have been submitted in writing
to the Board of Directors or to the Executive Com
rnittee OF such board and approved by majority.
At such meeting the person making such applica-
ton shall not be present. The bill also prohibits
the oyePdra wing of accounts of the bank officers.
Chairman Brosus will make the report.
