A HiU sCHEmE IN aiExicO,

Interested.

WAsHINGToN, March 26. - Ex-

reached here this morning. TheState
dinners and receptions that had been
announced in his honor will not take
place on account Of the death of Post.
master General Howe. The leading
members of this distinguished Mexis
can party are interested in the Mexi
can Drainage Company, which has the
contract tor draining the valley of the
City Of Mexico. As is we'll known.
the time has arrived that if the City
of Mexico is to be improved it must
be drained. The city is prospecting
under the influence OF the proposed
railroads, and 600 houses have been
built within the past year. The Mex.
lean Drainage Company is composed
of some Of the most Influential public
men Of Mexico and of this country.
The leaders of the Mexican
part of the company are in the
Diaz party, The American part of
the company includes DR.. Loriug. the
head Of the Agricultural Bureau who
is President OF the company; Senator
Call, Of Florida, who is Vice Presi.
dent; Senator Jonas, Of Louisiana;
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
Senator Harris, of Tennessee; Senator
Sabin, Of Minnesota; DR.. Duncan. of
Washington; Amos Townsend, of
Ohio; Mr.. Lowrey, OF Minnesota;
Judge Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
other we'll known gentlemen. The
contract which this company has is
this: The company is to be paid
$9,OOO,OOO for draining the valley of
the City of Mexico, and is also to
have certain portions of the
lands reclaimed. The money is
to be paid monthly, $25, 900 a month
for period of thirty years. The
company is to deposit $200,0 in the
City Of Mexico as pledge of their
good faith. The American part OF
the company want to deposit the
money in any bank 10 the United
States designated by tie Mexican au-
thorities. 1t is probable that there
will be no hitch on this point. The
moneyed men of the concern are
Sabin and Lowrey. The money is all
raised, however, and there will be no
trouble on that score. Another cues
ton which has presented itself is
this; Some members OF the company
want the contract changed, so that
the $4,000 can be paid in two years
if the work is completed in
that time. Whether the
Mexican party now here can effect
this change in the contract without
returning to Mexico is a question that
is being discussed. A meeting is to be
held to morrow if Messrs. Sabin and
Lowrey can reach here on time; ir not
then on Wednesday. An effort is to
be made to finally fix this matter
while Diaz is here. Senator Call and
Others have remained here expressly
to meet the Mexican party. The
drainage is to be effected by completing
the canal which was begun by the
Spaniards centuries ago.
Gjn. Grant arrived tonight to
meet the Mexican party.
