( CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 5.-The agreement be-
tween the government and the National Bank OF

over week ago. The delay has created much
comment. It's now known that Secretary of the
Treasury Dublain Is delaying execution awaiting
consumnation of similar contract. with the rail-
road interests. The administration desires to
treat the bank and railroads alike and is opposed
pleased but public opinion sustains the policy of
the administration in the matter.

for the resumption of subsidy Icertifcates are not
only well advanced but the resumption will COM
mence on the first of January on basis OF seven
per cent: four per cent to the Central ana three

WASHINGTON, Oct. GA discovery has been
made by one of the customs officers on the north

ment that while strenuously endeavoring to carry
out the instructions of the famous Chinese creI-
lar aud to put back upon British soil the Chinese
who had come into the United States in violation
of the provisions of the restriction act, he was
met with Canadian statute which required the
payment to the treasury of the Canadian govern

Pilot Knox, bought him for song. The stallion
was then owned by Mr. Dutton, Of the firm OF
Houghton s. Dutton of Boston, and May was work
ing him for Dutton. The horse run down, and
Dutton became sick and sold him to May at
very low figure. He soon picked up, and what
was buttons loss was Mays gain. The mysterl-
GUS rapidity with which the stallion gained after
May became his owner caused much surprise, and
no one was more unhappiy surprised than Dut-
in Augusta He has been offered $4,000 for the
stallion but refused it. When il Is known that
the famous animal has earned $4,000 for his
owner this season his refusal does not seem
strange.

the ambassadors here on the Roumelian question
has resulted in a memorandum being formulated

The Naval ADVISORY soard.

Commenting upon the anomalous position OF the
naval advisory board today, a naval officer re-
marked that the board had now no duty to per
form except to draw their salaries. The act
creating it provided that the board should have
supervision of the construction of the cruisers
now on the stocks at John Roach's yard, but since
the trial of the Dolphin the advisory board had
done nothing beyond answering criticisms passed
upon that vessel and under Secretary Whitney's
administration they will probably have little to do
in connection with the completing OF the cruisers.
