FRIENDLY RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED
STATES AND FRANCE DISCUSSED.
Washington April 25.-The French Ambassador
called the White House at II O'Clock this
ing and introduced the President Jules Seg-
fried formerly Minister of Commerce. Industries
and Colonies in the Ribot Cabinet and also an
official Of long service in the French Senate and
Chamber OF Deputies. NJ. Siegfried's visit TO the
President recalled the interesting fact that his
last visit TO America. in 1861. he received by
President Lincoln and enjoyed pleasant exchange
Of views with him. At that time the forces OF the
North hurryng through Washington. and VI.
Siegfried accompanied General Mcclellan in
view of the Army CT the Potomac. In the call at
the White House to-day the President spoke IN
most friendly OF the relations between this
country and France.
NJ slegfried later in the day talked IN interest
ing manner the purposes Of hts visit 10 this
country. He said:
America in ali commercial and Industrial lines and
TO study economic questions which are being de-
extension of commercial relations between the two
countries There seems 70 me 10 be no reason why
our mutual trade should be very largely In
creased with advantage to both countries. More
concessions on both sides that there Will be no
disadvantage TO special lines of industry or produc
ticularly or lines of goods which country pro-
are great opportunities for increased use in
France Of the American products Of iron II Is
the initiative in making concessions France viii
reciprocate in the fullest measure. The prevailing
sentiment IN France is favorable to a protective
policy. although personally am rather inclined 70
free trade But in any event am quite sure that
some middle ground be secured the ad-
vantage of both countries. am glad to say, there
is the most cordial sentiment entertained through
out France toward the United States. This is
traditional with US. but there has been
time when the feeling was more genuine than II is
present
NJ Siegfried was asked to the recent reports
that some Of the European payers might unite IN
a commercial alliance against the\Unted States
That might come about" said he. "and 1t is
additional reason why IT IS desirable to have the
two republics enter into close commercial associa-
ton"
NJ siegfried also expressed interest IN the move
rncnt in this country to build up the merchant
marine by the payment OF subsidies He says that
France already has subsidy system which
sisted a considerable extent in meeting the com
rnercia supremacy of Great Britain the sea. and
he believes that like encouragement in the United
States would bring about similar results IN the
development Of American shipping.
NJ. Siegfried starts tomorrow a trip through
the West, visiting the Carnegie works at Pttsburg
and going thence TO Chicago, Milwaukee. St, Paul
and many other points, returning by way OF Canada

tunnel is now in good condition when the
laborers left it in April 1892 We have received
no answer yet to the invitations for bids which
sent out TO contractors. but expect to get

this time because money conditions are easier.
