Shows that Frances Trade with the
United States Has Increased Under
the DfngIey Tariff Act.

PARIS, Jan. 2O.-The sixth annual dinner
and meeting of the American Chamber of
Commerce in Paris was held tonight at
the Restaurant Bon Valet, and proved the
most successful ever held in point of at
tendance. there being present $50 members
and few invited guests, including United
State Consul General John K. Gowdy and
staff, of the consulate, and Prof. Benjamin
ID. Woodward, assistant United States COM
missioner to the Paris Exposition. General
Horace Porter, the United States ambassa-
dor, was unable to be present, owing to
previous engagement. AS a mark of the
esteem of the members and in recognition
of the energy and success of the admins
tration of the affairs of the chamber under
Henry Peartree. he was presented with
an emblem of the Legion of Honor, set in
brilliants, he having been made chevalier
in the Legion by the French government
in October last for his active participation
in the negotiations of the Franco-American
commercial treaty. Mr.. Peartree replied to
the presentation address in a gracious
speech.
Mr.. Gowdy took advantage of the occa-
sion to present figures showing the fulfill
viously, as to the increase of commerce
under the present tariff The exports from
Paris in 1899, he said, showed an increase
over those of 1898 of 81, 100000 francs, and
over those of 1894 of 63,374,000 francs. In
1899 over 81 per cent. of the exports were
sold before leaving Paris. He was of
opinion that the export trade of the United
States to France was only in its infancy

American goods.
In the speeches many approving refer
ences were made to the reciprocity treaty
between the two countries and the hope
of its ratification was frequently expressed.

tions of the two republics. Prof Wood

Spanish-American campaign, just issued,
III. w. Wilson, a well-known naval author
ity, writes: LAS an Englishman who Will
hardly be accused of any political bias
on American affairs, 1 cannot refrain from
expressing surprise at the unjust aRd cruel
attacks which have been made by the
American press on Admiral Sampson, or
from expressing admiration for the dignity
self-restraint and nobility of heart, with
which he has borne himself under them"
Continuing, he says: ITO Englishmen his
ceaseless vigilance, wise disposition, cor
rect and accurate Judgment and high
courage, seemed to have deserved another

in the highest terms of the American
navy, retracting many criticisms which ap-
peared in his articles in American mag
aZines.
