FRANCE AND ENGLAND

by Baron d'Estournelles de

England are near an agreement on an

tion, reduction of navies and settlement
Of outstanding differences which have
for twenty years exhausted diplomatic
resources between the two countries is
shown in letter just written TO For
eign Minister Delcasse by Baron -d'Es-
tournelles de Constant, who headed the
French parliamentary arbitration COM
mission on its recent visit to London in
connection with this matter The letter
sets forth the results of the recent ex-
changes Of views in London and Paris be-
tween members Of the British and
French parliaments and the leading min
listers Of the two governments.
The conferences included those with
Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Co
lonial Secretary Chamberlain. and it is
believed that Baron d'EstournelIes, in
his reference to an arbitration treaty,
has the distinct approval OF those con.
trolling Great Britain's foreign policy,
while his suggestion for a reduction of
naval force is due entirely to the ini-
tiative OF the leading members of the

putting a question 10 the minister on the
subject in the chamber OF deputies when

IN OUR OWN STATE.
MRS. HALLETT WILL RECOVER
$4,000.
Money was Advanced to Cashier D.
H. Lewis Before Formers National
Sank Of Veraennes COLLAPSED.

Judge II. it, Wheeler has rendered %
decision iu the United States circuit
court allowing Mrs Frances T. Hal
lett of Dorchester, Mass, To recover $25.-
900 from the receiver of the wrecked
Farmers National bank of Vorgennes.
Mrs. lIallett was engaged to be mar
ried to ID. II. Lewis, the dcfaultiug cash
Ter of the bank. and when he was hard
pressed a short time before the crash
she advanced $4,000 She understood
that the loan was to the bank and not to
Lewis personally. Her counsel. II. II.
Powers. i'm his argument claimed that
whether she loaned to Cashier Lewis or
to the bank it was in violation of fun
damental principle of law namely bust
ness transactions between persons hay
ing fiduciary relations are voidable.
Here was a case where a man and a
woman to whom he was engaged to be
married entered into business transac-
ton which in law was as improper as
transactions between a guardian and
ward. The application of this principle
to the case of married people is some
thing new in our courts.
There was another point which came
out in this remarkable case which is Of
interest to the lawyers 1t was main
tanned by the defense that the directors
did not authorize Cashier Lewis to Dor
row $4,000 from Mrs. Hallett. The res
ponsc of the plaintiff to this point was
that the bank could not in justice enjoy
the fruits of a loan and at the same time
repudate the agent that negotiated it.
The decision saws. i'm part: The evil
dence shows that the loan of the securi-
ties was made to Lewis as cashier
which was the office Mrs. Hallett had
understood he held, and that it was in
duced by regard for Lewis because help
