Men Disappointed.
CITY OF MEXICO, September H.
President Diaz's message TO congress
is a long document and has excited
unusual interest in commercial bank
ing, and railway circles. No COM
inents are made on the operation of
The new customs tariff nor is the
banking situation discussed, being
probably reserved for later considera-
ton. The prediction was made by
railway and steamship interests that
renewal of subsidies would be
recommended, bnt il Is shown to have
no foundation and railway men are
disappointed at the fact that there
was no reference to the matter.
THE MESSAGE OPENS
by stating that the attitude
assumed by Mexico when
attempted the consolidation of five
Central American republics by force,
has mcrited the appreciation, not only
of great majority Of the Mexican
people, but also of other nations in-
tcrested in settling the fact that the
ancient right of conquest should not
prevail. The death of Barrios and
the revocation OF his decree, pu; an
end to the war and the difficulties that
caused it. The relations now existing
between Guatemala aud Mexico are
those of sincere friendship, and new
Gauiemalian minister, acceptable Il
the Mexican government, vii
soon arrive here. The pres
ident proposes the estab
Rshmet I, tltlanala.
