The Government Proposes to Stand by the

Cry OF Mexico, via Galveston, Texas,
August 24-Much interest attaches TO an
article believed TO have been officially in.
spired and which has appeared in one Of
the city papers and Is supposed to outline
the future policy OF the Government.
The article asserts that the administration
will stand rigidly by the funding law Of
June %. This semi.otticial assertion Is
considered significant on account otis
publication stmuiia iianeoasiy with the AZ
rival here of specially deputed railway
agent from Boston for the purpose OF ar-
ranging q Government recognition OF fail-
way certificates funded in SIX per cent.
bonds running twrpt years. tits com
sidefed an official d d anal decision ofthe
Goyernment 10 take no action until the
finances admit Of such. The tenor ofthe
article Is decisive that the landing law
iwill remain intact, and It is thought the
article was prompted BY persistent runaors
prevailing here and abroad, that the ad'
lministfation had weakened.
The article ee1pyes3est the Government
desire TO deal Justly with all affected by
the funding law, and closes: Bat ths
favorable conditions cannot be forced, ami
the railway tick kets must take their chance
with the rest Of the deferred obligations.
As o further proof ol the Government,
