TREATY WITH FRANCE.
Senate Committee Favors Extending
the Tims for Ratification.
WASHINGTON, March 8. The sen
ate committee on foreign relations to
day authorized a favorable report
upon the supplemental treaty be
tween the United States and France,
extending for one year the time within
which the reciprocity treaty between
the countries may be ratified. The
original agreement fixed the time of
expiration at March 24. 1900. and the
supplemental treaty extends It until
the 24th of the present month. The
original treaty was reported more
than a year ago. There was some
t'lscu&aion in the committee aa to
whether there should be an effort to
have the reciprocity treaties pending
in the senate acted upon at this ses
sion, but no definite conclusion v.
leached. The most general opinion
seemed to favor consideration of the
treaties to which little objection is
made, which are those with South and
Central American republics. There Is
considerable opposition to both the
English end French reciprocity trea-
All of the reciprocity treaties
i will expire by limitation before the
! nt session of congress.

WASHINGTON. March 8. Repre
sentative Cushman Is determined that
his state shall have just recognition
in the sale of horses to the govern
menu for use in the Philippines. He
recently called on the quartermaster
general, and Impressed upon him the
fact that Washington had a quality
of horses that entitled the state to
f rat recognition. He was assured
that experience with horses purchased
In that state had been very satisfac
tory to the department, and that when
sales were to be made In the future,
Washington bidders would be given
ample opportunity to enter the com
petition.
The quartermaster general stated
that since July. 1899. over 5000 horses
had been purchased in Oregon, Wash
Ington and Idaho, and that all had
given entire satisfaction. The de
railment recognizes the advantages of
buying horses for the Philippines
coast states, and can no doubt be re
lied upon to live up to its promises,
