HOW THE BROKERS AT NETWORK TRIED TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF HIM-THE COMING EXCURSION TO
MEXICO.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TBIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Dec pam incident highly Illus
trative Of the clumsiness of silver a currency,
was related by Senior Zamacona. the Mexican Min
i5ter last evening,
During the past ten days he has been to New
York. receiving the third instament of the
Mexican award money. This amounts to enough
Mexican pesos " or silver dollars to purchase
$500 600 i'm gold the decision of the CLAIMS Com
mission making that the standard of all payments
The brokers, aware of this fact and knowing that
the money would have to be forthcoming by the
lst of January, concluded totake advantage of Mr.
ZamaeOna's necessity and charge him their own
price for the exchange. To the surprise Of that gen
tleman, when he went TO them with bis silveThe was
informed that they would allow him only rs cents
the dollar for it. His disgust at the
proposition may be imagined He was pre-
pared for large discount, but why he shOuld
be compelled to pay 8 per cent brokerage and
get less than bullion is worth than he could
see. He therefore broke the sum of the instalment
into small amounts, and after much trouble in
running about town from one brokers Office to
another managed to negotiate the exchange at a
discount of IS per cent instead of the "a per cent
demanded at first. The instament will therefore
be promptly paid upon maturity.
Upon being asked what the prospects were Of the
success of the excursion of Chicago and New-York
merchants TO Mexico, which occurs next month.
Mr. Zamacona replied that they are most fattering.
Arrangements have been made by the Government to
entertain the gentlemen upon their arrival special
steamer will take them from New-Orleans, whose
merchants are preparing to receive their New-York
and Chicago friends in proper style, and land them
in Vera Cruz in two and a half days, one-half the
usual time required for the trip. Thus far about
$50 gentlemen have signifed their intention OF
making the trip.
Secretary Evarts said on Saturday that notwith-
standing contrary reports this excursion is in no
way an official or formal affair the part OF this
Government, although Mr. Foster has been in
formed of it. 1t was understood that Mr.. Foster
and the American consular officers will be very
polite to the merchants. and do all i'm their power
in an informal way to make the excursion success.

IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSEl
WssHINGTOY Dec. 24.--The most superficial ex-
animation of the few dispatches sent from Berlin
by the late Minister, Bayard Taylor, which
have have been published in the diplo-
matte correspondence. shows how unjust have been
the complaints made by some German-American
citizens and newspapers that he failed to demand
and enforce that protection for their fellow coun-
trymen to which, as citizens of the United States,
they were entitled. No subject connected with his
official duties received from him more frequent or
earnest attention. Before he had been month at
his post, Mr.. Taylor called the attention OF secre-
tary Evarts to the case of Charles Ganzen-
muller; and the whole of his correspondence on
this general subject land it occupies moro
space in the volume of "f foreign relations than
his dispatches on all other topics combined shows
that while he was unwilling that the naturalization
laws of the United States should be taken advan-
tdge of by foreigners simply as means OF escape
from the duties of citizenship in their native coun-
try he was always ready to do everything In his
power to protect American citizens, and he even IN
terfered in their behalf when they had violated the
treaty and were not entitled to protection.
