MEXICO LOOKING AFTER THE CENTRAL.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan G.-The provin.
cisl freight tariff of the Mexicsn Central
railway, which expired on January /,
has been extended until March /,
Merchants here are making the
strongest efforts for the abolishment of
dil'erential rates. They claim that
the railway company makes cheap
rates from points In the United
States to Mexico for the purpose of
developing tho American export trade
10 the disadvantag OF Mexican internal
commerce. All possible influence has
been brought To bear on the secretary OF
public works to compel the railway
company to establish arbitrary rates,
based on distance. At secret meeting
of the Mercantile confederation resolu-
tions were passed declaring that the
commerce OF the country will be killed
unless the ditferential rates of the
Central railway are abolished, special
rates prohibited and all goods ordered
dispatched at frontier custom. houses
Instead Of being permitted To come In
bond TO Mexico City. This movement
IL largely prompted by the jealousy OF
European merchants toward the increas.
ing American trade here. IL the move
ment Is successful II will hurt the inter
ests of the Mexican Central, by depriv'
ing It OF the power of competition with
steamship lines. Almost all the news

and cry, "down with ditierential rates.

Returning to the subject Of those re-

tive knowledge where they came from,
but he supposed they were sent from
the Republican national committee.
His direction how TO return them was
by telegram, from Fessenden, Chaffee,
or another member OF the committee,
but he could not remember which one.
1t was his opinion that there would

to his office bleeding from violence suf-

the Sixth, Fifth and other wards for
more deputies, on account of vio-
lence shown to Republican voters.
This caused him to appoint deputies
on election day. In the eighth ward
deputies were knocked down and their
revolvers taken from them. The reason
he sent more deputies to the eighth was
that it was notorious for fraud and vio.
lence. AT the last spring election the
Democratic majority was increased
from 363 to 955. In this ward there was
