MEXICAN SECURITIES GOOD
Refunding fhe Debt. Converting In-
 feFeSi From 6 to 5 Der Gent.

Washington, July 8.-The Mexican authorities here are highly gratified at the successful conversion of the Mexican debt frcm to a 5 per cent basis. which has just been ac- complished by the Mexican minister of finance, MT. Limantour, through a combination. Of American and Euro pean capitalists MT. Limantour came first to New York and spent week be- fore going to the European money centers, where the conversion was completed It is understood that the Morgan interests, which represent the American branch of the investment, are those which are more particularly engaged in foreign markets.
 Speaking Of the conversion, a lead ing Mexican official said today:
 Ut shows that Mexican securities command the attention Of the best money markets. and at rates much better than heretofore The old loan negotiated in the sos was at per cent, but all that is now refunded and extended at ger cent There is misapprehension in this country as to how Mexico pays the interest on her bends, the statement being made that she has heretofore paid in silver, and will hereafter have to pay in gold. AS matter of fact, she has always paid in gold, as that is required by the bond market, so that the conversion has no significance in disclosing a change from silver to gold in interest payments. Neither has it any bear ing on the internal finances of Mex ico, or the status of the silver standard of the country. It is simply an exten- sion of the debt at better terms and under cireuus tance which are very creditable to MeXico.'

Governor Rogers of Washington
 Declines to Participate.
HE TELLS COY. SAVERS WHY
He Believes Thai Sfafe LoqISIafiOn Against Trusts Would PrOVG Ineffective and That While He Doesn't Like Them They Are protected by fhe Federal aonsfi- fuiiOn.

Olympia, Wash, July s. Governor Rogers today gave out for publication his letter to Governor Savers of Texas in further explanation of his unwl- lingness to participate in the proposed convention on the subject of state con- trol of trusts.
 He says: ''The trust evil is to be made a political question; of this there can be no doubt. I do not be- lieve it wise for those who are opposed to the republican party to assist that party in it's evident attempt te tenn pOrarily evade the issue by proposing state legislation as a remedy. knowing that this must prove in the end inef- fsctive'
 Governor Rogers takes issue with the contention that if the general government cannot regulate trusts the different states can. He refers to amendments and 10 of the federal constitution which. it appears to him. are clearly intended to make effective the spirit and letter of the declaration of independence regarding inaien- able rights, among which is the fun damental natural right to buy and sell and make combinations not inim- ical to the public good.
 He says: "A great majority of the trusts will, however. unquestionably be able to show to the satisfaction of any supreme court that by the use of large capital and improved methods, they have reduced the cost of their productions and are thus a benefit and not a detriment to the general public and that the greatest good to the greatest number has been secured"
 Concluding, Governor Rogers says the trust problem is a new phase of the old fight of the almighty dollar against Almighty God. Three mothers of trusts are, the money system, the protective tariff and railroad rebates. They are conrollable only by national legislation.

COST or THE FLOOD
Property 10 inc Amount of $IO.-
 0OO.OOO DeStroVed in Texas.

St. Louis, July S.-A special to the Republic from Caldwell Texas, says; Estimates made by competent cotton buyers, as to the damage resulting to the cotton crop in the Brazos, badly tax the credulity of those not familiar with flood conditions. No less than 200 square miles of cotton bearing land has been flooded, every acre of which would have produced q big bale. Bas- ing the loss on 5 cent figures, the crop destroyed on three plantations was worth almost S4,O00,O0O. Well in formed persons are of opinion that the unprecedented rise of the Brazos river has cost the people of Texas little less than $1G,00O,O0 Thousands of mules have been drowned, all of the domestic animals have perished, the rented houses and negro quarters are swept away, the gins are nearly all ruined and hundreds of plantation stores car rying big stocks of general merchan- disc are under water. The new bridge escaped but not a train passed over the Santa Fe road between Brenham and Milan for a week.

TO BE SUBSTITUTED
The Postal Service in Cuba. Porfo
 Rico and inc Philippines.

Washington, July S.-Acting Post
 master General Heath stated today
 ths', no more appointments would be made of Americans to the postal ser
 vices in the Philippines; Porto Rico or
 Cuba. We are now making every ef-
 fort to reduce the expenses of the
 mail service in these countries,' said
 Mir. Heath, 'and with thsG in view the postmaster general has cabled the recall of all Americans sent to Porto Rico on detail from the various branches of the postal service in this country, and it is likely that a num- Der Of Americans who were sent there some time since will be withdrawn. This is to be done not only in the interest of economy, but to carry out the original design of the departmeH. When we assumed control of the pcs tai services in the three countries named everything was in chaos. The postal service was discredited upon every hand, and it became necessary to install new men, Americans of the highest type of character, in order to l 1eorganize the service and place it upon a creditabIe basis-a basis which would at once have the confidence of the patrons. Now that the postal ser vice in each of these countries has been thoroughly reorganized and placed upon an American basis, we feel that we can safely withdraw most of the Americans detailed from civil life and gradually transfer the work to natives. Under the circumstances it is useless for anyone to apply for positions in the Philippines, Cuba or Porto Rico, and all applicants are being So notified

WILL BID FOR THEM
Wilt Make Efforts to Obtain Exhibits
 af inc Parts Exposition.

Washington, July 8-Major Fred Bracket, the secretary of the Amer Iican commission to the Paris exposi- tion, said today that the directors of the Pan-American exposition at Buff falo will keep a representative at the Paris exposition who will endeaYar to induce as many concerns and exhibi- tors as possible, especially Of the Cen tral and South American republics, to transfer their goods direct to Buffa-o from the Paris fair. Brazil is the only important country on this hemisphere which is doing nothing for the Paris exposition. All other countries will be well represented. Major Bracket said it would be : great advantage to Buffalo to have the splendid exhibits transferred there.
 Major Bracket says that the Paris exposition has decided not to permit state exhibits from this country, and will make no concessions to separate states. They must place their ex- hibits with that of this country.

KNOWS NOTHING ABOUTIT
Secretary Long on Reported Plan
 for SampSon'S Squadron.

Washington, July S.-Secretary Lcng said today that he knew nothing of the reported plan to have the North Atlantic squadron under Rear Ad- miral Sampson, meet Admiral Dewey on the Olympia at the Azores and es- co-- him to the United States. So far as he know, the plans of the North Atlantic squadron did not contemplate it's leaving the shores Of New Eng land. A press dispatch from Newport said that the proposed plan of Ad- miral Sampson for the welcome home Of the hero of Manila bay had been ap- proved by the president. It is not considered probable that such action has been taken without consultation with the secretary of the navy, and as that official says he knows nothing of the pans, it is barely possible that the Newport repcrt had no foundation.

Berlin, July S.-Emperor Williams s visit to the French training ship Iphigenie Ut Bergen on Thursday, and his cordial exchange of telegrams with President Loubet were not only re- ceived with great satisfaction here, but throughout Europe. As one paper puts it, it premises to be a turning point in the worlds history.
 Press comments on ths war in the Philippines and the decision of Pres ident Mckinley to increase the force of the American troops there, are not hopeful for American success. The difficulty of the situation is regarded as confiTmatory of the views expressed before the rebellion. The Vossicha Zeitung makes merry over what it calls General Otis Napoleonic art of preparing bulletins. and adds: With a negligence of the most obvious facts he has Ebeen reiterating for months that the resistance of the Tagals was broken, their armies in complete dis solution and the end of the war in sight"
 The Deutsche Tsgas Zeitung prints a letter from German at Mania complaining of the Americans de stroying the best part of the trade and industry in the Philippines and ds- ceiving their countrymen at home by sending false news

PHfLIppINES CONFESSION
PreSid .nf SChurman Will Shortly
 Return Home.

Washington, July S.-Dispatches have been received by the department from President Schurman of the Phil ippine commission giving an account of his journey to the southern islands Of the archipelago He finds the condi- 'ticns in those islands extremely grati- flying. There is a disposition almost everywhere south of Luzon to accept American sovereignty. President Schurman expects to arrive at San Francisco about the 18th of August. It is felt at the state department that the commission has done much to convey to the native Filipinos a proper con ception of the purposes of the United States government and in that way has sapped the strength of the insurrection.
