WASHINGTON, d. c., April %. -Ine
department has made public the rcmaihs
exchanged between Minister Ransom ana
President Diaz, when the former present
cd his credentials recently. Mr.. Ransom
was fresh from the atmosphere OF the
state Department and apparently imDued
with the policy of this Government To-
ward other republics.
Among other things the Minister declar-
ed that the relations existing between
the two great republics, divded by
conventional line extending across the
continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the
pacific ocean. must ever be subject OF
serious interest 10 every patriotic cltl~eh
of both countries. No thOughtiul observer
can cross the boundary and not reahze
that every consideration of interest, every
obligation OF duty and every sentiment
of patriotism cnjoin peace and amity as
the policy, and had almost sdiu' "9
the law between them.
"The United states and Mexico recog-
nize that justice between nations, as be-
tween individuals is the mother oil peace
and the first Jaw of human happiness.
JUSTICE NATIONAL HONOR.
"They regard national justice as nation
al honor-the greater the power of the
nation. the greater its sense OF justice
Tbey both know that national discords
have been the most fruitful sources OF
public calamity and that national IFieha-
ships have been almost universally pro-
ductive Of public and personal welfare.
To-day peace is the interest ana duty
Of all nations, but TO the United states
and 10 Mexico, bound in territory to-
gether by the iudissoluDle laws Of nature
and united by the ties of commerce. by
the sympathies of popular government
and by the t.me-honored experiences OF
respect. amity. and harmony, promise the
most substantial benehcience.
THEIR EXPANDING COMMERCE.
"No friend Of either country can be-
hold the increasing lines Of travel, the
newly opened channels Of trade ana busi-
ness. the constantly growing Intercourse
between both peoples, their eniar8ihg
and expanding commerce, now existing,
and i'm promise, the immense invest
ments of capital, the grand enterprises
the magnificent improvements Of every
character now in progress, the new in
dustrics springing up and old ones re-
vived and magnihod by cooperation he
tween American and Mexican citizens. all
indicative of good will and reciprocal
benehts-I repeat, no friend of either
country can behold these hostages of
peace friendship and well-doing. with
out sense Of high qualification and
patriotic hope.
"Tho improvements and prosperity of

well excite the congratulations of man

mains an mscrutabic mystery here 80
far as can be learned, not the slightest
yestire Of information i'm support OF the
uersistent statements made I'm London
and St Petersburg dispatches ABOUT
this matter have been received from our
own diplomatic representatives. me
German and French embassies ana ius-
sian legation have received no advice on
the subject. and the japanese Minister,
who should be most concerned If the
roports are true, continues TO character
ize them as improbabiiities. Not the re-
motest intimatiOn has reached the Japa-
nese legadon that any protest has been
made by any European power against
the ratification of the treaty with emma.
Moreover, as has been previously stated,
the text Of the proposed treaty as cabled
TO the japanese Minister. contains no
provision for cession of Manchurian ter
ritory. which is alleged 10 be the chief
ground Of Russian objection. II Is
said that If thesetEuropean statements as
to the opposition 10 the treaty should
eventually prove to have a basis of the
fact, they will have the claim 70 be re-
gardcd as one Of the greatest surprises IN
diplomatic History. Nevertheless, the per-
sistency with which the statements are
repeated from apparently well-informed
sources necessarily commands attention
