The Mexican Treaty.

| The Mexican treaty.
The time for the United States and
Mexican authorities to examine and
decide on the claims which come before
them will expire on the first Of Febru-
ary next. 1t is thought, however, that
the Senate will, at its next session, rati'
fy the standing treaty providing for the
extension OF judgment Of the Commits.
sion for the period OF one year from
the date above mentioned. The Mexi-
can Government has already ratified the
treaty and the Senate would in all proab-
bility have done so at the last session
but for the fact that the Alabama
claims occupied its attention. The rati-
ficaton of this treaty providing
for an extension OF the time in
which to file claims on the part
of the United States will result in
favor Of her citizens. The original
treaty between the United States and
the repnblic of Mexico provides that
after the Commission shall have rem
dered their decision the total amount
awarded in all the cases decided in favor
Of the citizens Of one party shall be de-
Quoted from the total amount awarded
to the citizens OF the other party, and
the balance, to the amount OF $3OO,0OO
shall be paid either in Mexico or
Washington, within three months from
the close OF the Commission, to the
Government in the favor Of whose
citizens the greater amount may be
awarded. The residue Of the paid bal
ance is to be paid in annual INSTALL
ments OF 100000.
1t is rumored here that the judgments
will be largely in favor Of the United
States, so that little objection can be
made to the ratification Of the treaty
now pending. The general impression
is that this will be done during the
early part Of the approaching session.
Il is reported that the United States, in
the settlement Of the claims Of her citi-
zens, will, in lieu Of the payment in
gold or its equivalent make a PROPOSE
ton to the Republic Of Mexico for
portion of her territory. The United
States can then indemnify her citizens
by gold payment.
