ties on Various Articles.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The finishing
touches have been added to the draft
Of an agreement between the United
States and France under section of
the Dingley act which has been in
progress for nearly year M. Jusse
rand, the French ambassador, called
at the state department to discuss
the details of this arrangement and
1t is expected that it will be promul-
gated from the state department in
day Or two, Pending it's signature
the details are withheld, but it is
known that the concession made by
America is the abatement of the ex-
listing duties on French champagne by
20 per cent, while France RENTS max
imum duties on American cottonseed

other commodities

DONE WITHOUT REQUEST.
France Extends Decree Admitting
Porto Rican Coffee.

Porto Rican Coffee.
Paris, JAM 3.-Negctiations for the
conclusion of a definite commercial
agreement between France and the
United States are now proceeding so
satisfactorily that the French govern
ment, without any request on the part
of the United States, has extended the
life of the decree which permits Porto
Rican coffee to enter France on pay
ment of the minimum rate of duty
until Feb: 1. The pessimism which
prevailed here at the beginning Of
the negotiations, on account Of what
was regarded as disproportionate de-
mands by the United States, has now
been succeeded by a belief that an
arrangement satisfactory to both coun-
tries will be reached.

As to Good Resolutions.

With plenty of principles to which
one may hang there isn't such great
need of rules. If you are honest, you
won't forget to pay the cook the 10
cents you borrowed of her. If you are
truthful you won't tell the woman
next door that you paid $45 for a hat
that you made out of the rag bag and
yard of picture wire. If you are sin
cere you'll never say lot of gurglinp.
silly stuff you don't mean. The foun-
dalton of good conduct is in principle
rather than in resolution.

III Spring City. Tennessee, where

there was no money in :he Spring
City Bank to pay the check. 1t is
alleged that the cheek Was drawn by
the American Lime Company at the

1t is understood that Duncan's un-
dertakings and investments at Spring
City, where he has been operating
for several years, have turned out
badly, and the American Lime Com
pany, which figures in these alleged
fraudulent transactions, is thought to
be bankrupt. Unless this case is ad-
