WILL CONSIDER
TARIFF CHANGES
FRANCE WILLING TO ENTER IN.
TO NEGOTIATIONS.
RECIPROCITY rs OBJECT
Satisfactory Completion Of Arrange
ments with Germany Has Given
impetus to Action-For
Mutual Concessions.

Washington, May 29.-Although It
is stated that nothing has yet been
done toward adjusting the tariff rela-
tions between France and America,
and while 1t also has been stated that
there appeared to be no occasion for
the dispatch of tariff commission to
Paris, as was done in the case of Ger
many, the satisfactory completion of
the arrangements with that country
has caused preparations to be- made
to consider the case of France. So far
as is known the recent decision that
tariff commission would serve no
useful purpose remains unchanged.
The reason assigned for that state
ment was that the negotiations with
France had long ago progressed far
beyond the commission stage and had
indeed resulted in the drafting of a
treaty. But this treaty can come to
nothing without affirmative congress
sional action, and the French govern
ment is believed to be unwilling to
await the uncertain course of legis.
lation. Instead they are willing, 1t Is
believed, to follow the example set by
Germany and endeavor to secure
whatever advantages are opened to
them under a reciprocity agreement,
drawn under section three of the
Dingley act. OF the few commodities
named in that section upon, which
the American government may grant
reductions of duty, but one remains
available as basis for negotiations,
namely, sparkling wines and cham.
pagnes. Upon the other articles re,
duced duties have already been &C.
corded to France. ~.
... Up to State Department.
1t is now for the state department
to determine what shall be demanded
as a quid pro quo for a rs per cent
cut In the champagne duties. 1t is
true that this concession was made
to German champagnes, but as the
total amount of the importation was
trifling and the loss of revenue in
significant, 1t is held by some treas
ury officials that the cases are not
parallel, for the French champagne
imports last year aggregated more
than s6,OO0,O00. Therefore to secure
anything like an equivalency in the
concessions that might be asked
America, it is held, should secure a
considerable addition to the present
limited list of articles of American
origin upon which the French gov
ernment grants the minimum tariff
rates.
One of the factors that will enter
into the French negotiations If they
are begun is the action of the United
States treasury department in making
the amendments to the customs regu
lations required by the German agree
ment. These changes are regarded as
of the greatest value to German ex
porters, but 1t may be noted that they
cannot be confined in their operation
to any one nation and are therefore
open to all, so that France will profit
equally with Germany so far as that
part of the agreement is concerned.

some Ones Of Mahogany
Household Lore.

The time has gone by when the bed
stead was a simple framework. 1t has
developed from a skeleton of plain
wood or iron into a magnificent and
expensive piece of furniture, and now
adays people choose their bedsteads
with care. The nickel sort has never
proved popular on account of its cold
appearance. AS the bedstead is the
largest piece of furniture, it naturally
has the most to do in giving the room
a furnished appearance. Nickel bed
steads are only fit for a summer home,
where everything should look cool and
refreshing.
Brass is the best to get in a metal
bedstead If one can afford 1t. 1t has a
rich, warm look. The patterns differ
little, but each season finds an i'm.
provement in the finish. The best bed.
steads are not of solid brass. They
have iron supporters running through
each separate rod, and this gives the
frame stability.
Although metal bedsteads are con-
sidered more sanitary by many, they
can never be made so handsome as
some of the wooden ones. Nor can
they give such an appearance of COM
fort. One of the handsomest bed
steads is of mahogany. 1t lends an air
of solid comfort to bedroom.
Twin bedsteads of metal or wood are
the proper things now. 1t is healthier
to sleep alone.
