I From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, May 4th, 1907. While there is no immediate prospect of tariff changes, and in the nature of things cannot be be fore Congress reassembles there is a great deal of interest in the mat ter both in the Treasury Depart ment and at the State Department owing to the action of France in threatening to enforce the maxi mum tariff against this country, and the announcement of Ex- Premier Balfour coining out unre servedly iu favor of a. British pro tective tariff. The situation with France is the more pressing of the two. France was a party to the new German tariff treaty, and in common with six other European countries made a special arrange ment in virtue of which they were to accord each other the "most favored nation" treatment, and this meant that other countries, in cluding the Fnited States, would be cut out of such treatment as soon as their treaties expired. Now France is our third largest customer, the two leading ones being Great Britain and German}*, so that while the maximum tariff wouldnot mean shutting us out of all trade with France and Germany, it would seriously reduce the volume of trade and would inflict commercial trouble that this coun try could ill afford. The threat of France has been to enforce the maximum duties iu the oase of cotton and cottonseed oil, and ex clude American meat- altogether unless they have a goverdment' certificate of microscopic inspec tion. These three articles are the articles of largest trade between thk country and France, and their reduction under the new tariff ar rangement would mean great loss to the planters of the south and the cattle raisers all over the coun try. We have just escaped a trade war with Germany by sending a commission of tariff experts to that country and fixing up an agree- | ment under which trade between the two nations will continue for another year till Congress has a chance to make aj definite treaty arrangement. France is now demanding the same thing, and negotiations are progressing between Secretary Hoot and Ambassador Jusserand that probably will result in sending a similar commission to France. A curious case of a modern Jean Valjoan was presented to the Presi des this week. It was a man named William January, who nine years ago was sentenced to jail, and while serving his term, escap ed and assumed the name of Charles Anderson, lie lead a perfectly honest life and did well in the world, married, and became the father of one child. Afterward he was betrayed to the authorities by a former convict associate, and would be taken back to serve out his old sentence with 110 time of. for good behavior if executive clemency were not exercised in his favor. The President has promis ed, however, to look into the n " and if it is all as has been n sented to the Department of Jus tice, there is 110 question but that the ex-convict will be given a free pardon and allowed to continue the reputable life he has been lead ing. A statement has just been issued by the Treasury Department show that the per capita circulation of the country is $34.17. the largest on record. The highest previous record was in February last when it amounted to 833.9(5. This is 011 a population basis •of .85,886,- 000. if OF Line of Window Shades^ JI j iroiu IOC to 75c per Shade. ]i!
