The advance, it is said, win be from
4 to 10 cents hundred pounds hori-
zontally, to correspond with the adj
vance decided on by the Southeastern
Freight Association recently.
The advance was decided on after
considerable opposition on the part
of railroad executives, who maintain
ed that an advance of rates at the
present time was impolitic, but this
opposition was finally won over by the
argument that in order to meet the
various increased expenses an in
crease in rates was absolutely neces-
sary.
The clerical forces of the railroads
interested are quartered in Louisville
temporarily, working out the tariffs.
1t is considered probable that the
tariffs will not be in shape for filing
before August /, and in accordance
with the requirements of the inter-
state commerce commission compell-
ing rates to be filed thirty days prior
to becoming effective, the new rates

and Told to Stay Away from Mexico.

Mexico City, Mexico.-The anti-for-

large proportions and bitter contro-

time is ripe for policy whose cry
shall be Mexico for Mexicans."
Most of the TRADE is directed
against the yankees" term of con.
tempt used by Mexican editors in des-
ignating Americans.
Among other things, La Patria de-
clares that If Americans think the
governments of Argentine, Chile or
Brazil more enlightened than that of
Mexico they should journey to those
parts. the sooner the better.
After referring to the efforts on the
part of the foreigners against the pro-
posed new mining law restricting in.
corporations in Mexico, the paper mas
this to say:
eve repeat out attitude towards
foreigners. I'VE are not boxers, but
patriots, and when we take a given
decision we take it not as against for
eigneTs, but for the benefit of Mex.
ico.'
The paper summarizes the anti-for.
eign sentiment as follows and cham.
pions all but the railway measure:
''The minister of public works has
submitted to the executive of the
union the draft of a new mining law
which incapacitates foreigners from
acquiring mines in the frontier states

government. This, however, was not
until 18 years had passed and most
of the natives had died.

following the customary practices in
such cases, Minister O'Brien is in

representations Whether the United

ment is q question for future settle
ment and will depend upon whether
