than ordinary importance to the Mexican bondhoders,
SINCE supposng the treaty which is described TO have
been arranged by the United States envoy with Juarez
at Vera Cruz to be finally ratified the country will from
that movement virtually pass under the American sway
The whole north of Mexico will be opened up to set
tiers who will not only have the privilege of free entry
of goods but also of calling the United States troops
their assistance whenever they may happen to have
any difficulties with the native population The transit
routes ceded respectively from the western border of
Texas to the Gulf Of California, and from ocean to
by the Tehuntepec line, WILL unlike the several
transit routes in Central America, be exclusively under
American CONTROL since the provisions of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty have no bearing upon them.
With such powers the absorption OF the Mexican
public be carried at leisure, without provoking
the savage but vain resistance that might be Incurred
by direct proceedings. That the result will be adj
vantageous to Mexico and to the world cannot be doubt

the financial reputation of their countrymen, they will
manifest by protecting at every step the interests of the
foreign bondholders of Mexico, bearing in mind that

the responsibility thus assumed 1t is also to be re-
marked that owing to portion of the customs duties
being pledged to her foreign creditors, Mexico has
right to grant, Juarez proposes to do in the present
treaty. free Importation for United States goods at any
specific port whether in the Gulf of California or else
where. These points, it is hoped will receive attention
from the English government. Meanwhile, however it
is far from certain that the treaty will be adopted

sweetheart that no man should kiss her while absent

pleased Saverland told her if she was angry he would
kiss her also he then tried to do it, and they fell to the
ground. On rising, the woman struck him he again

The action brought to damages for the loss

kiss her; if she wanted kissing she had husband to
