Foreign Schemes to Avoid Taking American
Goods.
WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-The attention Of
American exporters has been directed to two
very important facts; first, the threatened ex-
clusion of American cottons from ZANZIBAR, which
is an important point redistribution for the East
African trade, by competition from the East
India mills that have lately been flooding the
market with spurious limitations of American
products; second, the organization of formida-
BILE European syndicate, composed chiefly of
French, Belgian, and Holland distillers, for the
cultivation of corn in Mexico ON large scale, so
as to be mo longer atthe mercy, using their own
phraseology, ''of American spectators. These
distlers it would appear, want from l,50OOO
to 5000 600 tons of this grain per annum for use
in their business and they propose to furnish
the necessary capital for growing it. and also
the requisite railroad facilities for bringing 1t to
their market. Part of their scheme is to com
plete, as soon as possible, the Mexican National
railroad from San Miguel to Saltillo, so as to
utilize that line for transporting the grain
from the fields to port in the Gulf of Mexico
The syndicate are represented. by Count
Longrand, who is now making the necessary ar
raneements with the railroad company, and, it
need hardly be added the result is awaited with
much interest by the trade here

The Claim Against Badeau.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov 15.-In the case
against General Adam Badeau, formerly consul
general at London and more recently consul
general at Havana, against whom the govern
ment has claim for about $l2,O 900 on account of
notarial fees alleged to have been illegally re-
tained and the application madeto refer it to the
Court of Claimsffor arbitrament, the Secretary
of the Treasury declined the application on the
ground that the law applicable to the reference
of cases to that court by the executive depart
ments refers to claims against the government,
and does not apply to cases where the govern
ment has a claim against an individual. The
case is now in the hands of the Solicitor of the
Treasury, with instructions from the First Comp
troller to institute proceedings to recover the
amount in dispute.
