RECIPROCITY WITH MEXICO.
The Negotiations Now Under Way Greatly

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Sept ga dis
patch received from the City of Mexico
says that the scope of the negotiations
intrusted to Jose J. Limantour. as Mex
lean commissioner to treat with United
States Minister Ryan on reciprocity,
is strictly limited to the provision
OF the American tariff law in its
third section. The question to be dis
eussed is simply what compensation
can Mexico give 30 the United States
for the free admission of her sugar.
coffee and hides. The question of the
admission of Mexican lead ores into
the United States free of duties Is,
therefore, shut out, much TO the dis
appointment of American sme!ters on
this side of the Rio Grande. There is
no prctense of negotiating full
reciprocity treaty, at least at present
