Keep Silver for Currency: Impart to II
Fixed Value in Relation to Gold.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2O.-That part Of
President Diaz message which relates to
the financial situation in this country Is
attracting much attention in business and
financial circles here. The President said:
"The measures instituted by the depart
ment Of finance, both at home and abroad.
in connection with the variations which
the gold value Of our money is constantly
undergoing, aim at bringing about such
stability as is possible in the rate Of foreign
exchange, and at placing our currency
on basis which will enable it to satisfy
the internal needs of the country and to
facilitate the development Of public wealth.
@The Executive, in carrying out this pro-
gramme, has also endeavored by every
means compatible with the final object
Of the studies and efforts that have been
entered upon to protect the national min
ing industry, to rectify the point OF view
which unfortunately was becoming more
generally unfavorable to silver and to give
it's aid to every measure capable Of enlarg-
ing the sphere Of applicability Of that
metal

other nations, the Government had no
tlOuRnJ OF entering Hllo tiNottS VI Sch-
ventions, nor OF bringing about the holding
of international conferences, such as Oh
other occasions have been held with re-
spect to similar questions.
son this occasion the steps taken by the
Government, with the support Of the United
States, have been addressed to bringing
about an interchange of views with respect
to the remedy that ought to be applied
to the monetary situation of certain nations
and colonies; to securing the maintenance
OF silver for. currency purposes by countries
which now have the silver standard. while
imparting to it when possible a fixed
value in relation to gold; to unifying the
Fundamental basis Of the reforms that may
be accepted, now that the solution may
everywhere be surrounded by greater, So

within the scope of governmental action,
the continued operation Of the perniciouss
influences enteiled by many OF the chief
factors of erturbationin the silver market. y

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON Sept. 2i.-There Is the best
authority for stating that all the ambassa-
dors of the Powers at Const antinople have
received instructions to inform the Porte
that the Powers will not intervene in the
Macedonian situation except TO enforce the
Austro-R Russian reform scheme and that
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria must expect
assistance from these nations.
The Sultan promised the Austrian and
Russian Ambassadors at Fridays audience
to apply these reforms seriously in all parts
OF Macedonia where the instruction has
disappeared.
In accordance with this declaration OF
the Sultan, the Turkish Cabinet, at special
meeting held at the Yildiz Kiosk on Sat-
urday, framed Instructions which will be
sent to the various Governors and procla-
nation which will be issued to the popu-
lation. The rest OF the world will probably
remain soeptical as to the effect OF these
steps.
Dispatches from Sofia say the nation
severely condemns the indecisive action
Of the Bulgarian Government. which is
neither mobilizing its army thoroughly
nor strictly observing neutrality.
A despatch from Constantinople to the
Standard quotes several persons who have
arrived from Bulgaria recently MS stating
that revolution against Prince Ferdinand
may be expected. He is almost alone

The correspondent Of the Times, tele-

pected to become general in northern
Macedonia except at Raslog.
The insurgents attempted to invest
