Liy reserved for later conside ration.
The prediction was made by railway

!er' inc message opens by stat.
ing the attitude assumed
by Mexico when President
bsSrios, OF Guatemala, TO attest the
consolidation Of five Central American
republics by force, has merited the an.
probation, not only Of q great major.
Ivy or Mexican people, but Of other
nations Interested in seeing that tho
ancient right Of conquest should not
prevail. The death OF Barrios and the
revocation OF his decree put
an end TO the war and the
diNculties that caused 1t. The rola-
tions now between Guatemala and
Mexico are those OF sincere
friendship and the new Guatemala
minister acceptable 10 the Mexican
good Will soon arrive here. The Pres
ident proposes the establishment Of a
mixed tribunal to settle claims OF Mex
lean citizens against Guatemala. Rela-
tions with the United States continue
70 DO most cordial. The return Of the
Democratic party to power, after near
ly u quarter Of ceptury OF Republic
an rule, had brought with 1t no inter-
rupiion OF tho friendly relations be-.
tween tho two Nations. The President
recommends that Senate ratify at once
tho postal and extraditlon treaties ne.
gotlrted with tho United States, az
well as tho additional article of reel
procity treaty by which article eight ID
prolonged In force until March 1886.

the treaty concluded In the
city OF Washington, establish.
ing certain rules Of interpre-
talon concerning article OF the
treaty of limits OF 1858, so az TO
prevent difficulties on account OF con-
tinually recurring deviations OF the
course OF the Rio Grando river. A
treaty OF friendship and commerce has
becn concluded with Sweden aud Nor
way. With ali other powers Mexico
continues on friendly relations, seek
ing mutual development OF trade.
Harmony in Federal and State gov
ernments Is copplete, and peace nas
nsen assured In tho new territory Of
repie. The government is giving a.
tentlon 10 improvement in the mail
service and telegraph lines, ava,ling
itself OF atipulations in railway con.
csssions, empowering the gov
ernment to use poles for
its wires. Tho condition
OF tho treasury mas prevented con.
tihuatioh OF tho work on tho Tehuau,
tepec road, but conservation OF the
compieted work thereon has boon at

baon made for the colonization OF pub.
lie lands and for the expectation OF
products OF the country. Useful
plants aud seeds have been distrib.
uted In agricultural nections, and
special study IL being given to tho ao-
cumulation OF mining statistics. The
most Important part OF the message re-
iers to financial matters. The president
say3 that last spring he informed Cou-
gress OF the pressing difficulties of tho
iinRncial situation. Those difficulties
Increased rapidly until they camo To a
crisis, about the termination OF tho fis.
cal year, and neither the pursuance OF
measures OF economy, nor the vigor-
Gus enforcement of honesty In the col
lection of taxes served To make tine
situation any better. Tho mos radi-
cal remedies wero requisite, on &c.
count Of tho enormous do
iioit and oxcess of appropria.

OF creditors ot tho nation, and taeir
right 10 demand payment were not to
be disputed, but the executive
