Five Indians were killed during the recent

Now there are only eleven men, under COM

England Has Lost the Hold 1t For
mer1y Had.
The gains which the United States is
making in supplying Mexico wit. the arti-
cles which it imports from foreign coun-
tries are sharply called to the attention of
English manufacturers and exporters by
the British consul at the City of Mexico.
who, In his report on the trade of Mexico
for the year 1900, says:
Fifty years ago. and even less, the great
er part of the trade of Mexico was car
ried on by British houses the heads of many
Of them having retired on fair little for
tune. AS late as 1S72-73 the British trade
with Mexico was in a fairly hourishing
condition, but from the date of the OPEN
National railways the American manufac-
turerS have yearly increased their trade
with this country
Today the British trade is confined to
few agencies Ohere being no important
commercial establishment, who by means
of samples and catalogues undertake the
execution of orders. Some of these agents
are persons who, being unacquainted with
the country or with the customs find it
very difficult to do business with the peo-
pie. There are, however, few who are
active and by accommodating themselves
to their surroundings can get good orders
for the firms they represent. The example
of those few might serve as an incentive to
others.
AS mentioned on former occasions, an in
stftution like the army and navy or civil
service stores, where goods of purely Brit
ish manufacture could be obtained would
certainly be the best means of advancing
British interests, but such an institution
would have to be overlooked by a British
subject, who, as well as being a capable
man, should also combine knowledge Of
trade with a knowledge of the language,
people and customs of this country.
To show that this is possible a similar
case may be quoted. An American firm some
three or four years ago established a small
ONCE to represent one or two of promi-
nent firms in the southern states; 1t is now
In treaty to undertake the representation of
over eighty different manufa cturing estab-
lishments. If this is possible for American
merchants, now is the time for the British
manufacturer to come forward and do the
same. but in order to compete with Mexi-
cos northern neighbors he must change his
old methods.

Draft of n Bill Being Prepared by thu
Secretary of War

The Secretary Of War is preparing the
draft Of bill for submission to Congress
providing for the consolidation of the quar-
termaster's subsistence and pay depart
ments of the army into one general depart
ment, with an officer of the rank of major
general at it's head. 1t is provided that
the new department shall be divided into
four divisions, to be charged separately
with the conduct Of the affairs Of trans
portation. construction and supply, SUBJ
sistence and finance, each division to be in
charge of an officer skilled and experienced
in its business. Secretary Roots ideas on
this subject are briefly stated In his last
annual report, as follows:
Il am satisfied that the division of the
supply departments into separate bodies
acting independently Of each other. and
each responsible only to civilian Secre-
tary Of War. is a bad arrangement. result
ing often in confusion, in conflict, in un-
necessary expenditure Of money, in increase
of paper work, and making 1t difficult to
fix responsibility. The quartermaster's,
con,missary and pay departments should
be consolidated under such provisions re-
garding the present permanent officers in
those departments as shall secure them
against injustice
