THE PACIFIC CONQUEST OF MEXICO
BY AMERICANS.
By Their Business Habits They are
RevOlutiOnizing the Commerce
of Mexico.

Much of the old provincial prejudice
against Americans here, says the Mex
can Herald, has died away, the feeling
that they belong to an alien and hos
tile ra 1e having abated notably since q
few years ago, when the newspapers
had much to say of the "pacific con-
quest" or, in other words, the peace
full subsection of the country by an
overwhelming thrush of the men of
the north. 1t has been seen here that
Americans come here not by thousands,
but rather by hundreds, and mostly
intent on business intercourse with the
ople. They have entered into many
lines of activity, into transportation
very largely, mining to notable eX-
tent, tropical agriculture, trade and
manufacturing, and we do not hesitate
to say that they are, as q body, an alb
solutely peac able COLONY" loyal to
Mexican interests and resentful of hos
tile legislation against Mexico as en-
bodied in unfavOrable tariff legisla
tio1. All over the country the resi-
dent Americans maintain their social
organizations, and their charities, and
are ready always to cooperate with
their Mexican friends and neighbOrs
in all good works.
Crime among resident Americans is
rare: they are law abiding and indus
trious. and probably no nationality res
ident here is more uniformly we'll dis
posed to the political ideas of the Mex
accorded all energetic and busy Amer
leans by Gen. Diaz's administration
has had much to do with bringing in
Americans of a superior class, men who
else would never think of going from
their own land to another. Mexico is
becoming in its manufactures, in its
finance and its principal activities very
cosmopolitan, Spaniards, Germans,
Englishmen, Scots. Frenchmen and
Americans being among the foremost
in all large enterprises, and often seen
associated with MeXicans in business
undertakings.
There is abundant work here for all
men of Drawn and muscle, for mod
ern patton is being created, and this
means hard work and strength of body
as of brains.
Men of northern races are blunter
than men OF the south: they are brus
quer and less regardful of etiquette and
the minor graces Of intercourse, and
all of this has come slowly so be under
stood by the Mexican people. 1t is
now disco rned here that a man who is
direct and forceful in speech is not
necessarily boor; but rather that he
acts according to the ways of his coun
try. Modern life is too busy and earn
est tor all the pleasant ways OF the Old
leisurely times to escape mOdi fication.
The modern F'renc hman of large af-
fairs is not as tremendously polite as
his ancestors, and even such profcients
In etiquette as the Japanese, when they
rub up against business men of 9th er
lands, acquire the newer manner. In
! many ways, American influence has
been felt here, and, on the whole, ben
eficia ly. Misund erstandings must in
evita bly, arise, but the Intelligent men
of the two countries are growing to
like each other better and to get on
pleasantly in social and business life.

The Delphic dance is a series of slow,

Max,millian,s Monument

1t is reported on what seems to be
good authority that the Mexican gov
ernment will consent to the monument
with which admirers of the Emperor
Maximillian propose to mark the
place of his execution. The Mexican
government can certainly afford to
consent, assured y the place ought to
be mar ed. The world ought not to

where the idea of armed foreign oc-
cupation of American soil was shot out

in : to get out. This ho found to DO a
hard job The walls Of tho well were of
straight plank, and too slippery to climb.
1t soon dawncd OH him that he was i'll q
precartous position. 1t was next to i'm.
possible to escape unaided and there was
small possibility of any ono coming
along for days Or perhaps weeks.
He called at intervals, feeling at the
time that his voice did not reach far from
tho top of tho well. All night he remain.
cd in tho water. almost perishing from
the cold. When he failed to return home
his wife notified several neighbors and
search was begun. Some Of tho searchers
discovered tho broken vol, and Mr.. Bur.
