GOOD FRENCH RELATIONS
". DeIcasse Explains the Country's
Foreign Policy.

Paris, Dec. 12-In connection with his ex-
PLANTATION of the budget to the Senate Committee
on Finance the Foreign Minister. NJ. Delcasse,
to-day said that the foreign policy Of France
was essentially a pacific one and he ex-
pressed joy over the agreement with England,
which, he said, important TO that country,
was shown by the fact that France was serv-
ing as the intermediary to improve itsSrelations
with Russia
NJ. Delcasse considers the Macedonian ques-
ton to be in an excellent state. He is convinced
that the Porte is sincere in the endeavOr to
carry out the reforms proposed for Macedonia.
Referring to the situation in the Far East, he
expressed the view that Russia and Japan will
succeed in concluding agreement satisfac-
tory to both. Regarding Morocco. the minister
declared that the policy of the French govern
ment toward that country must be exclusively
economic and pacific. Touching upon the con-
dition of affairs in the new Republic Of Panama,
NJ Delcasse said that French interests were alb
soIutely protected there.
The next matter to be taken under considera-
ton by the Finance Committee will be the con-
struCtiOn estimates, an important reduction in
which has been caused by the elimination of an
estimate of $4,000 for an embassy building at
Washington.

the cause of death The police authorities adj
vised tho British Embassy. and the officials

disposition.
Friends OF Lord Abinger's family who have
made a thorough investigation. are convinced
that his lordships death was due to heart fall
ure resulting from his fall. and the fact that
the French authorities are not making an In
vestigation relieves the case of any features Of
suspicion. Lord Abingers mother, who is a
daughter of the late Commodore Magruder, U.
S. N, arrived here from England tonight in re-
70 To bpr
announcing her sons death. She will convey
the body to England for burial

RUSSIA AND PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

St Petersburg. Dec. 12.-The comment here thus
