BRITISH INTERESTS TOUCHED.
Report of United States Consul at CAL
cutta Causes Great Discussion.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CALCUTTA, December 2.-No end of
newspaper discussion throughout India has
been stirred up by the report of the United
States consul of Calcutta in which he in
formed the manufacturers of America
that there was great opening for trade in
Bengal owing to the native boycott of Brit
ish goods on account of the partition of the
province. The following is section of the
report which appears to have stirred up
endless discussion:
When it is remembered that the popula-
ton of Bengal is about 10000 it will be
seen what an immense market there must
be here. This is especially the case with
cotton piece goods, the principal clothing
of the natives. of which about % per cent
comes from the United Kingdom, and for
the manufactures of iron and steel of
which about Go per cent comes from the
United Kingdom. Because of the boycott
this market is now open to American man
ufaeturers as never before. The represent

PARIS. December 1.-The approaching
presidential election weighs perceptibly on
tae general trend of French domestic pol
tiles. There are legions of candidates In
fact, 1t Is doubtful If there ever have been
so many. There is NJ. Failieres president
of the senate, whose chance Is said to be
good, though 1t is remarked that his name
has been too long before the chambers
and the public and too much discussed.
Then NJ. Leon Bourgeois is still spoken of
as likely candidate. and In some respects,
If not in all. az a suitable one NJ. Doumer,
the energetic president Of the chamber Of
deputies, Is another favorite, though not
with the advanced republicans a circum-
stance which contributes to make him pop
uiar with the center and right of the cham

make good president, though he. too
lacks the support of the advanced element

Not All Politics,

The position may be won by dark
horse. as it has been on previous occasions
but for the moment the best-informed men,
bers OF both chambers are at sea as to
who is likely to be the future president.
AS general thing the election In France
Is not decided exclusively on purely politi-
cal considerations. The general personality
OF the candidate has something to do with
1t. In the present precarious condition of
international affairs the congress-that is
to say the two chambers assembled for
the purpose-will be doubly cautious whom
they elect as chief of state. Now that the
question of separation has been practically
disposed of, apparently there Is no problem
of first-rate magnitude in domestic politics
calculated to have any great influence in
the choice of the next president.
