FEAR AMERICAN COMPETITION.
1t Causes Hostility Toward Us Among
Europeans in Mexico City.

1t Causes Hostility Toward Us Among
Europeans in Mexico City.
There is a very bitter feeling in the City
OF Mexico among the leading European
merchants against Americans since the
successful close of the war in Cuba and
the Philippine Islands, being wholly based
on the fear of the rising prestige of Amer
leans and the fear on the part of Euro
peans that they will lcse the trade of Mex
leo.
prehension felt by resident Spaniards and
merchants that their own nationality in
Havana will come and enter into compa til
ton with them. They are warmly opposed
to Spanish immigration into Mexico. The
general sentiment among men in the Mex
iCan trade is hostile to the growing Amsr-
lean commercial and financial influence and
this feeling is manifested in many irritat-
ing ways.
President DiaZ's administration Is friend
ly to the Americans. and this fact enrages
the newspapers in opposition to his gov
ernment, which are owned secretly sub
sidtzed by resident Europeans. These pa
pers are doing all in their power to excite
the bitter feeling against the United States
Ihe government papers are friendly to the
Anna ricanS, as are the mass of the people
The country was never more prosperous
and the anticipation that American capital
is gong to invade the country in large
amounts and dispute for the business with
the old established European concerns
makes them exceedingly anxious.

ADVICES FROM HONOLULU,
Hawaiian Commission Considers the
Name to Be Given Hawaii.

name 10 he G1Ven Hawaii.
The United States transport steamer
L-akme arrived from Honolulu yesterday at
San Francisco bringing the following ad-
vices to the Associated Press under date
of August 10:
The Hawaiian commission is getting
down to work in earnest and on Friday
and Saturday held prolonged sessions all
the members being present. The first sub
ject considered was name to be given the
territory, and the form of government was
also discussed with the number of federal
officials to act in the territory The sub
ject of federal laws and their application
was the chief topic at Saturdays session
Arrangements are being perfected for a
tour of the islands by the commission, and
tonight the steamer Claudine will leave
here All the principal points on the vari-
Gus islands will be visited, after which the
party will return to Honolulu, probably ar
riving here on Saturday.
The United States transport ship Tacoma
with 200 horses and mules for the army at
Manila, arrived off here last night. Four
horses were lost on the voyage. The vessel
will remain here about week. The vessel
will not sail through the treacherous Ball
ing Tang channel, but will be met by a tow
boat sent by General Merritt and towed
through the straits of San Bernardina to
her destination. This will shorten the
journey by several weeks.
Captain Book of the United States ship
Mohican has been ordered to take his ves-
sci to Mare Island. The vessel will proba-
bly, sail on Tuesday next.
There is a strong feeling of friendship for
the United States among the Chinese on the
islands, especially among the higher class,
and they look to the new government to
give them all the privileges enjoyed by
them under the old regime.
The Honolulu garrison is still camped at
the race track, and there is no present in
tention of moving the camp. The strictest
discipline is maintained, and visitors are
kept outside the lines. Stores of all kinds
are arriving rapidly.

ZURLINDEN SUCCEEDS CAVAIGNAC.
IL -
Crisis in French Cabinet Not Yet De-
fnftely Settled.


Gen. Zurlirden, military governor of
Paris. has accepted the ministry of war, In
succession to NJ. Cavaignae, resigned Gen.
Zurlind> m was a member of the Ribot cab
met which went outoof office October 2s.
1895.
The crisis in the cabinet is not vet re-
garded as definitely settled. Both NJ Bris-
sen and NJ. Cavaignac are believed 10 be
playing for the presidency of the republic.
and it is thought that Brisson is growing
jealous OF Cavaignac's increasing popu-
larity.
The latter, owing to his superior social
qualities, is supposed to stand the best
chance and it was with view of SECURING
the support of the army that he stood out
against revision.
Opinions differ as to how the latest de-
velopments affect the situation. There is a
rumor that Gen. Zurlinden, the new minis
ter for war. will advocate a mere annul,ing
of the Dreyfus Judgment and sentence AS a
safer way out of the imbroglio than a re-
trial. involving all sorts of awkward reye-
lations.
Whether or no. this be true, there is
much speculation as to how Presiden.
Faure induced Gen. Zurlinden to accent
the war portfolio after twice refusing 1t.

DulIness of Trade.
Business does not appear to be brisk
either in Montreal in other sections of
the province. I have heard much from
commercial men about the dullness of
trade 1t continues dull up to the verge of
depression. The prosperity which began
coming to the states with the good crops a
year ago and which has steadily grown is
not reflected in the dominion. Some of its
men of commerce and cf public affairs are
beginning to wonder whether there is go
ing to be no such thing as reflex bene-
fit. They sympathized with the United
States in the conflict which causes Spain
to take its departure from the western
hemisphere. l have been repeatedly told
that the presence of Dubosc and Carranza
and the intrigues of these Spaniards was
resented a breach of hopitality. This
feeling was undoubtedly genuine. Now
that the war Is over. the Montreal mer-
chants would like to share in the substan-
tial fruits of the peaceful resumption of
industry and trade.
The Joint High Commission.
The evidence that this sharing of bene-
fits is not coming spontaneously is giving
zest to the discussion of the joint high
commissions labors. The recess of the
con mission was anticipated and its tenn
porary adjournment is not looked upon as
indicating failure. But the appearance Of
various delegations from the United States
to protest against tariff concessions are
causing distrust of the ultimate results
The perpleXitieS of Canada's preferential
tariff and the hiudrances in the way of
real reciprocity with the states are nowhere
in the dominion better uliders TODD than in
Montreal. The shadow of the cloud which
the West India policy of the United States
throws over all competing trade in those
waters is already felt. Anxious inquiries
are made whether the inshore fisheries of
the dominion are not in some measures an
equivalent for Porto Rican and Cuban
privileges. There is also the suggestion
that Jamaica, instead of seeking anneXa-
ton stH the United States, might annex"
itself to Canada. The future is uncertain
and the opposition is already pointing out
There are statesmen today who have a
clearer path ahead of them than has the
Canadian premier.
