At home and abroad there is plenty of confidence in the future of Mexico. In Europe we have seen it evidenced the past week in the adoption of plan for the conversion of Mexico's gold debt of $97 ,000, ,000, bearing 6 per cent interest. to a 5 per cent basis, writes correspondent from the Citv of Mexico. Here we have seen, in the past ten days, the incorporation of several new companies for manufac. cigarette makers league or trust, for 1t amounts to that, and the putting Cf nearly $1.000,000 more into a new ei- gaTette factory; fresh orders for cot ton mill machinery, and remarkably good showing in customs receipts for this time of the year Mexieans have more money than ever before to buy foreign goods, and they are importing heavily. Even with all the new cotton mills and print works, the home sup ply of cotton textiles is insufficient foI the demand, and imports in that line, both from the United States and Eu- rope, are increasing, a fact which in- spires cotton mill peopIe to order more machinery and to put up new mills. large new paper mill, backed by Mexican and resident Spanish capita, is to be built near this city, and the machinery is already ordered. A great extent of the streets of this city are to be paved with asphalt, and already the principal streets are handsomely paved with concrete blocks, which make an ideally smooth pavement. The new Banco Central is running up heavy list of depositors, and has S3,600, ,000 paid-in capital, and will, in a year or two, double that amount. Shares in the new American bank have sold this week at 3 heavy premium, and the institution is doing a large and very prof able business. The older banks report good business in 1899, and will soon increase their capital, the National to have $22,0O0,000 effective capital and the London $19000, GOO. These are business facts, which show how Mexico is booming along under the firm rule of the present adminis tration. which is business from the word go, to employ an effective colo. quialism.

suLrAN's GIFTS TO UNCLE SAM
Sent to President Van Buren-caused
 No End of Trouble.

sent So AAesAoenV Nah Bnren-Caused
 No End of Trouble.
 On the seventh day of the month of Schawwai, in the year 1254 of the Hegira-which is the Arabian way of writing Dec. 25, 1889-the sultan of Oman, whose name was Seyyid saooid. bin sultan, bin ahme1d, addressed gracious letter to "his excellency. Mar tin Van Buren, president of the United States of America" in which he in- formed the president that he had sent him by the royal ship Sultanee a few trifes as token of friendship and good feeling, says the Ladies' Home Journal. These trifes consisted of two Arabian horses and their groom one bottle of altar of roses, two pieces of gold, five demijohns of rose water. one Persian carpet, one gold ornament with silk tassel, four came1s-hair shawls, one gold-mounted sword two large pearls, one bottle of diamonds one gold snuffbox studded with prec- ious stones and one box of mixed pearls and diamonds. Under the con stitution the president is prohibited from accepting personal gift from any foreign state or power, and as the sultan's gifts had arrived in New York and the commander of the Sultanee would not leave the country without presenting his masters offerings. an embarrassing complication was the outcome. The matter was finally re. ferred to congress, and after three months of correspondence, red tape. diplomacy and legislation the suItan's Christmas presents were finally ac- eepted and then the president was put to the trouble of selling the horses. Inc shawls and the rose-water. while Uncle Sam was given the further trouble Of finding a suitable place to store the remaining gifts, and was af- terward put to great expense in cap turing the thief who carried off the en- tire collection in bag, and was only caught after a long chase.
 Island Is Magnet
 In tLe Baltic the Danish island Born. holm, which is situated about twenty four miles, east by south, from the nearest point oI sweden, may be re- garded as huge magnet. Although the power of this magnetic island is aiot so great that it can draw the nails out of ships as was told of the legend. ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bornholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- ble to ships in quite another way, for the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes vessel to turn perceptible aside from its course. The effect of the island magnetism is felt at distance of about nine and half miles. On the island of Cana (one of the Argyllshire Heb- r.desl. situate about three miles north vest of Rum, there is a hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the compasses of vessels passing near it. The island is a mile in breadth by four and half miles in length.
