CIGAR STORES FIGHT.
Independents Plan Unusual Effort
against the "T'ruSt."

New York is to be the field of a sharp contest
between rival cigar stores interests David Schultz
backed by other independent dealers, has formu-
lated q plan of action which. he believes will Grip
pie the alleged trust" in this city. The indepen-
dent interests plan TO place store for with
the trust in every part OF Manhattan. Brooklyn
and The Bronx There is now keen competition In
many parts of Manhattan. and the fight is to be
carried throughout tho whole city. Should 1t prove
successful, the independent dealers plan to extend
Il throughout the country.
With the absorption of Frank Tilford, the Schultz
interests became the leading factors In the war
against the trust" Quality rather than pre-
miums is 10 be the basis OF our fight" David
Schultz said yesterday. I'VE have plenty OF money,
and there will be longer monopoly this
city. least of the cigar and tobacco selling
trade. our fight is being made through the de-
mands of our friends of the smoking public and
we propose 10 fight TO a finish. Despite strenu-
GUS opposition by the trust, we have been able to
secure the cigar store privileges in the Hud-
son Tunnels Company's terminals and in other
new buildings IN course OF erection. Lack of
energy will not stand in the way Of securing
sites for the stores. Prior to this time the
trust has been able to overwheim its rivals be-
cause of lack OF concentrated effort"

FRANCE NOT SATISFIED.
THE TARIFF PROPOSALS.
Relief That america asks Too Much
an Return for Offer.

Paris. July 9.-The government has made its
preliminary examination Of the tariff agreement
between France and the United States, which
Jules J. Jusserand, the French Ambassador at
Washington. brought back with him TO Paris,
and the Impression created IS decidedly unfa-
vorable The proposals are being considered in
a friendly spirit but IL is yet too early to indi
cate the nature OF The counter propositions
which France viii make. It is almost certain.
however that France VIII decide that the tariff
concessions asked for by the United States are
entirely out OF proportion TO what she offers
The proposal made by America is practically
limited 10 placing champagne on the list OF
articles included in the agreement of 1898 and
entitled 10 d 20 per cent reduction under the
reciprocity clause OF the Dingley law, while in
return the United States asks the minimum tar
III on shoes. tools. machinery, etc.
French officials are Of the opinion that the re-
duction of the duty champagne by 50, while
Fl viii involve q considerable loss OF revenue to
the government, VIII not result in reduction
OF the retail price OF the wine, and that conse-
cuently the amount imported Will not be greatly
increased. on the other hand. France regards
the concessions asked OF her as highly important,
especially as most Of them have direct effect
OF home industries. France would regard the
continuation Of the minimum tariff now in force
on Porto R2ican coffee coming into this country
as q fair equivalent for the reduction in the
American tariff on champagne, but the United
States II appears, declines 10 treat at dlA Oh lI4e
basis Of Porto Rican coffee, and is disposed TO
Insist that the minimum OF the French taTir be
guaranteed as q condition to other negotiations
AS the decree suspending the collection OF the
maximum duty on Porto Rican coffee expires
on August !, the two governments may come
70 close quarters before that date The act OK
the French government in granting the mini
mum rate on this coffee is Illegal under the law
Of 1902. and 1t was taken simply as tempo
rarv act Of courtesy, subject 10 suspension with
out notice.
The French government Is inclined TO accept
the rronosal TO send q commission to the United
States to examine into the workings Of the new
meat inspection regulations, and determine
whether they are more effective than the old
microscopic method Of examination.
VI. Jusserand was warmly greeted py Fresi-
dent T-aJliAres He will leave Paris soon for his
country place, but he will remain in touch with
the Foreign Office He will return TO wash
