The president dis- cussed these matters freely with us and treated us Wwith every considera- tion.

HOPE TO AVOID TARIFF WAR Washington Officlals Believe France Will Extend Modus Vlvnndl.. ‘Washington, Nov. 11~Dispatches from Paris quoting the semi-official Temps in protest agalnst efforts of bigh protectionists to prevent the French government from undertaking further tariff negotiations with the United States and other powers are taken as an indication in American administrative circles as possibly pre- saging a willingness on the part of the French government to extend the present modus vivendi, which expires on Dec. 1. It became known severa’ days ago that Ambassador Jusserand would present a counter proposition to that submitted by the United States, the ambassador declaring that he would not be able to discuss these new negotiations until a reply to the proposition had been drafted and sub- mitted to France. No informatlon is ohtainable here of the character of the “rench propo- sition. It is known, however, that the attention of the French ambassa- dor has been called to the handicap under which the executive labors in trylng to compromise the tariff saitua- tion hetween the two countries. While section 8 of the Dingley act gives into the hands of the president the power to_make concessions to a forelgn gowy ernmeént on certaln articles i retarn for concessions made to this country the list is so limited that sa far as France is concerned practioally it s confined to champagne and sparkling wines.

The intention of the United States government had been known for sev- eral days through a dispatch from the German embassy at Washington, Pres- ident Roosevelt having asked the Ger- man ambassador, Baron Speck von Sternburg, to make an inquiry whether Mr. Hill would be agreeable as am- bassador to the authcrities here, thus following the usual practice between governments.

Prescott, Ariz., Nov. 11.—Robert Mather, general counsel of the Rock Island system, declared to the Associ. ated Press representative here that he emphatically endorsed President Roosevelt’s policies for the govern- ment regulation of railroads. “I belleve,” he said, “that a uniform system of federal regulation of rail- roads would be advantageous to both the roads and the people. Certainly no railroad in the country which is conducting its affairs honestly need fear the inauguration of such a plan as is proposed by the president, but even honest reods are seriously men- aced by spasms of legislation which have been so numerous of late in vari- ous states. “The trouble is that people grow ex- cited over the revelations of some rallroads’ affairs, who have been guilty of rebating or other infractions of the law, and become unduly radical, the result belng that all roads alike be- came the objects of their hostility without discrimination.” < Sweeping Injunction Issued.
