 Mexican Matters.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. S.-The provis- ional freight tariff of the Mexican Cen tral Railway, which expired on the first day of January Is extended to March lst Merchants are making strongest efforts for the abOlishment of the different rates. They claim the railway company mak- es cheap rates from points in the Unit ed States to Mexico for the purpose 0i developing American exports to the dls- advantage of Mexican internal commerce All influence possible IS being brought to bear on the Secretary of Public Works, to compel the railway company to accept the arbitrary rates based on distance. At a recent meeting of the Mercantile Confederation resolutions were adopted declaring that the com merce of the country would be killed unless the differential rates of the Me1I- can Central Railway were abolished, special rates prohibited and all goods ordered dispatched at the frontier Gus tom Houses, instead of being permitted to come in bond to Mexico. The move ment Is prompted in a great measure by the jealousy of European merchants toward the increasing American trade. Advices from China and Japan. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.
