Grant-Romero treaty negotiated some years
ago, but which failed of ratification in Con-

treaty based on the Mckinley tariff the presi-

Minister Ryan was instructed to confer with
the Mexican government, which, in turn. ap-
pointed Jose L. Lamanton to conduct negotia-
tons. Negotiations continued about two
months, when the two commissioners reached,
or seemed to reach, an agreement. When the
time for signing came, however, MIR. Ryan an
nounced that he would first have to consult his
government-that was about the end of De-
cember. Since then the Mexican government
has heard nothing from Mr.. Ryan on the.sub.
