on foreign relations will be, doubtless,
deeply Interesting. Through its state
ments We shall be informed Of the exact
progress OF the negotiation relative to the
fishery question and the northwest trade.

Secretary of State is proceeding quiet

SouLE having not yet presented himself
for acceptance at the Court OF Spain,

Queen uear this government. The
questions pending with Mexico are the
right OF transit across the Isthmus Of Te-
hauntepec as involved in tho Sloo and
Garay contracts, and defined in the
treaties negotiated by Judge CoSKLIs
and Gov. LErcHER; the demand for the
Right Of Way for the Pacific railroad
through Sonora end Chihuahua; the re-
CARNATIONS Of Mexico for Indian depre-
dations, and the re-adjustment OF mutual
commercial relations. These are most
important subjects of negotiation be-
tween the two republics, and the Presi-
dent'srevelations as to the progress made
in adjusting them are awaited with uni
versal interest.
