FRENCH DUTIES ON CORN.
Agrarians Are About to Enact Heavy
Increase in Tariff.


Increase in Tariff.
American corn is now the object of at
tack of the French agrarians, and they are
about to enact propositions for heavy in
creases in duty on imports of corn United
States Consul Thackara at Havre makes
this subject the basis of considerable re-
port to the State Department. He says, in
brief. that the agrartans and some other
interests became alarmed some time ago
at the increasing use of foreign corn, and,
causing several bills to be introduced in
the chamber. the matter was referred to
committee on customs for investigation.
This committee has just reported two bills
for passage the first regulating the tenn
porary admission of corn and the second
fixing the duty on grain at 90 cents instead
of 5S cents per hundred Kilograms, and in
creasing the duty on flour made from corn
from francs to francs per hundred
kilograms. The committee made most
searching investigation of the extent of
competition of foreign cornS with native
grains. and heard statements from all the
great interests involved on both sides of
the question, the result being an exceed
ingly interesting report winding up with
the committees conclusions that the condi
tions warrant the increased duties pro-
posed. During the course of the hearings
the possibility of-reprisals by foreign coun-
tries was approached, and on this the
committee reports:
I'VE have nothing to fear from reprfsals
from any one, inasmuch as the countries
which send us corn all have high protec-
tive tariffs, which we scarcely hope will be
lowered in our favor. While we enjoy the
treatment of the most favored nation,
there is not much fear that these agree
ments will be broken for a question SO rel
atiyely unimpOrtant."

BOERS ARE STILL AGGRESSIVE.
Little Prospect of Immediate Settle.
ment of War,


LONDON, April S.-Lord Kitchener has
informed the war office that eighteen vol
unteer companies, freed by reliefs, are
coming home. and that arrangements are
in progress for the speedy relief of fur
ther companies. He thus appears to be
endeayoring to meet the demand that fresh
troops be sent to the front to replace the
stale men.
The Pretoria correspondent Of the Morn
ing Post, who warns his countrymen
against hoping for an early termination
of hostillties or believing the stories that
the Beers are tired of war, says:
1t becomes daily more evident that the
Beers intend to fight to a finish. Many
are surrendering, but they are men of no
standing. The real fighting men are still
on commando. and although the recent
successful British operations tend to bring
the END nearer. 1t Is evident that the Beers
must be completely crushed before a gem
eral surrender is probable"
1t is reported from Brussels that Acting
President Schalk- Burger has removed the
seat of government to Leydesdorp
According to the dispatch to the Daily
Mail from HilyerSum. Mr.. Kruger who has
just arrived there. has expressed an inten-

General Wheaton, commanding the Depart

sentence of the court, says: 1.-THE taking

under the circumstances shown upon the

might be viewed with horror by the most
debased savage. AS soldiers in the army
of the United States they should have been
the helpers and defenders Of the innocent.
Returning alone from tour of detached

restrained by the presence of the officers
