Mr. Porter to Mr. Sherman.

[Telegram.]

Embassy of the United States,
Paris. [undated.] (Received July 5—9 a.m.)

Telegram received. Wrote full particulars in dispatch of 28th. Have talked further with most influential members of Government, and all feel that Government will not support the bills and they are not likely to pass. Am watching them carefully.

Porter.
