HIGH TARIFF FOR FRANCE
United States to Suffer Unless
Reciprocity Is Agreed To.

Paris Nov. 2-The tariff commissions OF the
Senate ard the Chamber of Deputies. which have
begun drafting bill for the revision of the tariff
of 1892 at a conference to-day with Premier
Clemenceau. NJ. Pichon, Foreign Minister. and
other members Of the Cabinet, formally requested
the government to agree not to conclude further
commercial treaties until Parliament acts the
bill which the commissions have drafted. The
Cabinet practically gave the promise demanded.
providing that the recently negotiated Canadian
French treaty be ratified.
The promise of the government IS regarded as
Of great Importance. it constitutes a virtual de
cision suspend tariff negotiations with all coun-
tries pending a revision of the tariff which IS not
expected TO be accomplished during the present
session.
The bases of the proposed revision Of the tariff
are an extension OF the double system Of rates TO
all schedules. making the lowest maximum rates
80 per cent higher than the minimum rates, and
specifically restricting the grant of minimum
countries offering equal concessions to France.
Moreover, the proposed revision is being en-
gneered by high tariff advocates the minimum
rates in the case OF many schedules will probably
be raised.
If the high tariff people have their way the pro-
posed law will compel France to begin tariff wars
against all countries refusing TO conclude reel
procity treaties. The United States will be the prn-
cipal sufferer under the proposed revision unless II
concludes reciprocity treaty with France as the
projected rates for many classes of goods ex-
tensively imported will become prohibitive

ENTERTAINED ROYALTY
Family Party at Sandringhom after
Queens O1Cn Heart.
Especial by French Cable to The Trlbune.I


London. Nov. 1.-The King. after holding a
council to- day. has gone to Sandringham, where
he will entertain the King and Queen of Spain
for a week There will be a full muster of the
royal family with the Spanish Ambassador the
Comtesse de Paris. the Princess Louise OF Or
leans and the Duke OF Alba in the house party
The King OF Spain is received as though ne
were a member of the royal family, Ike the
Queen of Norway. and there Is little Formally
and ceremony. 1t is a family party at Sand
ringhar after Queen AleXandras heart When
the week is over the King and Queen OF Spain
will pay a series Of visits to West Dean Park.
Welbeck Abbey and elsewhere and will attend
the wedding of Prince Charles Of Bourbon and
PRINCESS Toriso of France at Wood Norton, in
company with the Queen OF Portugal the
Duchess of Aosta and other relatives OF tile
bride and bridegroom
These family functions will differ essentially
from the visit of the German Emperor at Wind
sor which viii be emphasized in every way as
a state affair. This has been deferred Tor
long time because the relations between Ger
many and England lacked cordially. Now the
conditions are right for it. and the Emperor Will
be welcomed by the London crowds as warmly as
the young King Of Spain has been. King Edward
is seeking to dignity it and magnify its impor-
lance The Emperor will be in London twice
and there VIII be street decorations ana
parades The German press is bent upon con-
verting ii into diplomatic event, and the King.
conscious Of his own ability and success in ia
ternationa affairs, = prepared 10 strengthen the
impression.
The King, while oppOrtunst in choosing
the right moment for Cancellation. is a genuine
peacemaker. and Sir Edward Grey works with
him most tactfully There viii be the Morocco
affair and other matters to talk over at Wind
sor, but the main result will be the restoration
of cordial relations between the two countries.
The entente may not be as close as that between
France and England, but is likely TO be as cord
ial as that between either Russia or Austria
Hungary or Spain and England.
How easy it will be TO create a better under
standing than existed after the Emperor's mes
sage to the late President Krtiger is shown by
the sympathetic comments of the weekly press
to-day on the Harden-Von Moltle trial. The
Emperor is described as a sovereign of unblem-
shed life, who has come out scathless from a
cauarilla of scandals
The King OF Spain has gone about London
as Familiarity as though 1t were his own capital
and has done much sightseeing in addition TO
hobnobbing with relatives The streets have
be n more crowded and animated than in long
time and the opera, the theatres and the art
shows have been crowded with people of
fashion. / N. F.

AMERICAN CASH FAMINE
Anriety Deer Heavy Drain of Gold
from Bank Of England.
Especial BY French Cable 10 The Tribune.
copyright, 1907. by The Tribune Association.

London, Nov. 2.-The American cash famine
as The Economist" describes it, is the subject
OF supreme moment, and the financial writer's do
not try to conceal their anxiety and nervousness
A heavy drain of gold from the Bank of Eng
land is expected in the next few weeks. and
there is little confidence that the Bank of France
will lend much assistance
The reserve of gold is bound to 60 down here
when the financial crisis in America widens
into an economic crisis. but the banking svs-
tenn is so sound that nothing beyond a tight
squeeze. with the bank rate at 6 or Z per cent is
looked for by the least excitable prophets
The fact that there is a moral crisis behind
the alarm of depostors and the collapse Of
credit is not overlooked. It causes disnter-
ested and intelligent friends Of America like
THE Spectator to regard President ROosevelt's
denomination almost inevitable although he
may be harassed with doubts respecting his
pledge not to stand again
Little attention has been paid to the vagaries
of American Journalists such as the sensational
nonsense about Secretary Taft's hurried visit
TO Berlin in response to hystercal dispatches
from Washington or Mr.. Hearst's election man
ifesto in a yellowish letter to the London
Times" which treats IL an ingenious potica!

LOSSES FOR SOCIALISTS.
Elections an England and Wales
Bring Crushing Defeat.

London, Nov. SOCIALISM has not gained such
hold British constituencies as the results OF
the last Parliamentary election led many persons
10 believe. This has been shown IN the municipal
elections held in England and Wales this week
At the general elections the socialists succeeded
in electing members Of Parliament, principally
in three cornered fights, with such success that
both the great parties. the Liberal and the Con-
servative, entered on strenuous campaign against
what they termed the dangerous propaganda OF
the socialists" This has resulted in the over
whelming defeat of the socialists throughout the
country. that party even losing many seats for
merly held by It. To do this the Liberals and
Conservatives Unionists combined in some
instances. but even where fusion was not resorted
TO the more conservative candidates were elected
Under the act passed at the last session of Par
lament there were number OF women candidates
for election TO the municipal councils but few Of
them returned.

London. Nov. 2.-The prospects that the Pres
ident Of the Board of Trade, Mr.. Lloyd-George.
may be able to avert the general railroad strike
by arranging a compromise were brighter to-
day A full meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser
wants was held this morning, and IT de-
cided TO postpone all action yesterdays reso-
luton in favor of a strike until after the con-
ference which is to take place with Mr.. Lloyd
George November 6. to which he has in
vited the society to send representatives. Rich
ard Bell, N. P, general secretary OF the society
and leader Of the strike movement. will prob
ably head the delegation
A meeting of the parliamentary committee of
the Trade Union Congress was TO have been
held Monday next. and a joint melting Of this
. committee with committees representing the
4 General Federation of Trade Unions and Of the
Labor party had been arranged for next Tues
day, but Mr.. Bell has written to the secretary
OF the first named organization suggesting that
the meetings be postponed and adding: owing
10 change of circumstances, I do not think it
will be necessary 10 call them together at this
stage"
This is regarded as a significant step, because
the two meetings were TO have considered what
action to take in order 20 support the railway
men if they went out on strike.
The circum stances TO which Mr.. Bell referred
are, Of course. Mr.. Lloyd-George's invitation to
the conference next Wednesday, The plan of
the president Of the Board of Trade is to form
a permanent board OF Cancellation, with an equal
number of representatives of the companies
and Of the men and having an independent
chairman. The railroad directors apparently are
willing 10 adopt the plan, but the question arises
whether the men, having demanded complete
recognition of their unions and direct dealings
between the managers of the roads and the
unions, will accept such a substitute.
The partisans Of the railways refer to yester-
days resolution as being a bluff intended to
brighten the railroad owners. and the supporters
OF the unions say the Amalgamated Society OF
Railway Servants has cleared for action and
that while It has not actually declared war, II
has given Its executive a mandate for war
Public feeling against the strike is so strong
that the men bound TO go slow as long as
the companies show a disposition to reach a
compromise.
Railroad shares fell slightly at the opening OF
the Stock Exchange to-day but rose later to
their normal quotations, thus rejecting the
belief in q peaceful outcome
The railroad men have decided to hold a. mass
meeting et Albert Hall here on Sunday night
at which Populations from all parts OF the
United Kingdom viii be present.

Some criticism has been provoked by the lei
surely way in which disbursements have been
made by the two conspicuous trust companies or
the city which. throughout the week. have been
under pressure from withdrawing depOsitors-ir
being urged that It has not been good form or
good business to take advantage of technical
procedure TO the extent of keeping lines Of peo-
pie in front of paying telers who, on some days.
have been able to take care of only two or three
customers per hour. This criticism seems,
however. 10 emanate from speculative rather
than from ordinary business sources. Gentle
men short of the stock market and having not
a penny on deposit anywhere are the who
seem TO be mostly excited over the slowness OF
disbursement.
