report that drummers from this side
of the Rio Grande are not to be ad-
mitted to the states across the border,
save upon payment of ruinous licen-
ses, will not be confirmed. Uncle
Sans attitude to Mexico does not
justify this hostility to Anne lean
traders and it will not be long before
more liberal ideas will prevail and
trade concessions on both sides be
granted that will greatly benefit the
commerce of both republics. The i'm
preston sought to be created that
this republican administration is hos
tile to Mexico will be very short lived
and with its death will come a close

that has not yet been known. There
is an evident disposition at Washing
to cultivate friendly trade relations
with all the American republics, and
this disposition will bear good fruit
before the approaching congress closes
its sessions.

Tho proposed Balzac monument gives rise
to an enormous number Of anecdotes apropos
of the great writer in the French press. Here
is good one from among them The late
Baron James Rothschild was always on ex-
cellcnt terms with Balzac, who dedicated
more than ono novel to him Once, when he
was obliged to make trip to Germany, and
when, as often happened with him, he was
in money difficulties, Balzac went to the
baron, who, with his usual benevolence,
advanced him the sum Of 3,0OOf., giving
him also a letter of recommendation
to his nephew at Vienna The letter
was unsealed, according to custom. Balzac
read it. found it cold, poor and unworthy of
him, and never took it to the nephew Re
turning to Paris he went to SEQ Baron Roths-
child. WELL" said the latter 'have you
seen my nephewf" Balzac proddly said that
he had kept the letter. II am sorry for you,"
said the baron; ''have you got 1t with your
"Yes, parbleu-here it Is" "Observe this
little hieroglyphic below the signature; 1t
would have opened a credit of $4,000 francs
for you at the Vienna firm" Balzac bit his
nails and said nothing more.-Pall Mall Ga
