sv,ndIing Treaty Annalled.
There il another hitch with the Mex
loan treaty, which was to be sent to the
Senate three weeks ago, providing for
the establishment Of a Claim Commits
sion. Evidence upon which the two
principal awards were made, amounting
10 some $4,000, were simply mass Of
perjury. The Secretary made an agree
msnt to draw up treaty signed, sealed
and delivered, one Of them to the Mex
lean Minister, to be sent0for ratification
by his government. The first that tho
bonefciaries knew about it was that
they could not get the money when they
wanted to draw upon the installment,
payment having been stopped by order
Of Frelinghuysen. They then begged
70 be allowed to make argument Oh the
case before the treaty was sent to the
Senate, although one copy of the docu-
ment has been transmitted to Mexico.
It was supposed, as matter Of course,
that the Mexican Senate would ratify
the treaty, because it was to stop the
fraudulent payment Of their money
under the award to claimants. Now,
however, the hitch came from the action
of Mexico. That government demands
that not only shall the treaty provide for
reopsning the case. but the money Al
ready paid out to these claimants be re-
turned. Il amounts TO about 100000.
There sesms no doubt the cases were
fraudulent, but this Government does
not want TO bear the responsibility.
Tho money was received from Mexico
and distributed, but it 10 contended that
the fact Of perjury and fraud is no more
chargeable 10 the one government than
the other, the Claim Commission being
a Joint affair. and that We are making
ample concessions by agreeing to have
II set aside, and new Commission es-
tablished.
