London. Feb. 9.
The strenuous efforts made tonight
to reduce tie Irish boundary differ
ences TO soluble proportions prob
ably will bear fruit when Parliament
opens tomorrow, though at present
no solution has been announced. Sir
James Craig, the Premier of Ulster,
sent letter to Premier Lloyd George
tonight and later had a talk with
him. The burden of this talk was that
the boundary question cannot be de-
termined without the consent of Ul-
ster. But Sir James still left a wide
sphere for negotiation and Mr.. Lloyd
George Will be able to tell Parliament
tomorrow that such negotiations are
possible, whether through mutual
agreement on the part of the Irish
men or through the boundary COM
mission provided by tie treaty.
The day was given over to a series

with the premiers and members of the
British Cabinet. and the representatives
of South Ireland conferred also with
Mr.. Lloyd George and his colleagues.
Both Collins and Craig made statements
briefly indicating no solution had as
yet been reached. But it was em-
phasized in British as well as in Irish
quarters that not. only were the boun-
daries of Ulster discussed, but many
points under the streaty also.
The possibility that the theory that
Ulster is being coerced will cause de-
fections among the Unionist supporters
of the Prime Minister is practically elm
mated by the terms of Sir James's letter
tonight. Hence IL is believed Mr.. Lloyd
George will be able to hold the House Of
Commons in hand, while the Irish ne
sotiations continue in a Gu:eter vein.
While those negotiations are proceeding

HARD FOR FRANCE,
EASY TO GERMANY
Paris Press Comments Unfa.
vorably on United States
Debt Funding Bill.

Special Gable to THE NEW York HERALD.
Copyright, 1893, bv THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris. Feb. 6.
The passage of the foreign debt fund
ing bill by the United States Congress
continues to provoke a mass of comment
and discussion wherein France again re-
veals herself as failing to understand
the American point of view, ascribing
this legislation, which seems to have
come as surprise. to various causes
resentment toward the French attitude
at the Washington conference and the
desire of the Republicans to carry the
Congressional elections.
This is supplemented by some real
worry over the effect of the American
decision upon future French budgets, it
being estimated now that the Govern
ment will have to face the possibility of
a deficit os 10000, 100000 francs after
next year instead of mere billion as at
present. There is striking unanimity
OF opinion In the general expression that
1t would be impossible to pay In cash.
In the flood Of newspaper comment two
ideas appear to be common to ALL The
first is astonishment that the United
States insists upon the paymen, of her
debt in full and even in cash without
holding out any hope for future reduc-
tions, while at the same time American
sentiment seems to be opposed 20 France
applying the same policy to &c many.
but instead favors cutting de wn the
present total of reparations.
The second idea is that America must
accept payments in kind, as Frafce has
accepted them from Germany notwith-
standing the menace to her own indus
tries. Writing In the Eclarr, Senator
Lemery says to-day:
"The Americans are business :I.Cn and
the memory OF war and the immense
sacrifices France made while giving time
to others TO arm themselves Is effaced
already" He repels the suggestion that
France sell the Antilles to The United
States, as being another Alxace-Lor-
raine which France will not give up
voluntarily, apropos of which he says
Has America. which yesterday we
acclaimed for It's generosity ard its
idealism, decided 10 play the role of

lelism: when we demand a few mil
