WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE state
department foreeful note TO the con
tending factions in Mexico warning them
against any mistreatment of Americans
is believed TO have brought the relations
between the United States and Mexico u
the critical point. This IL a fair deduc'
ton from the past experience and tradi-

recently in the case Of Cuba.
1t is recalled that just such warning as
this preceded the Spanish war, culminat-
ing in the famous message Of President
Mckinley, which referred TO the 'lntol-
erable conditions existing at our door

days notes will have a SOLDERING effect

| eliminating answers regarding the
| ownership their yards until they
| actually were cornered. Almost az
startling as the evidence that they
might be looked upon as the agents
| of the railroads were the further ad-
| missions that some of the dealers had
| only thirty-day leases ON their yards.
and that should they do or say any
thing that the railroad authorities
discountenanced they might have their
leases cancelled on the spot.
There you have it, the proof of our
worst suspicious and fears.
The same interests have the mines,
the railroads, the -yards-and the
consumer at their mercy.
We are in the hands Of this trust,
one end of which denies its RESPONSE
bility for present high prices, appar-
ent shortage Of supply, and inefficient
railroad equipment.
The admissions made at Philadel-
phia, put upon the same interests all
the evils of which faction of the
combine complains.
If the railroads are now unable to
handle the coal fast enough to e.
lieve the distress and anxiety caused
by the claims of another faction of the
same combine. why was not this con-
tingency provided for?
If this is not a palpable criminal
conspiracy to create alarm and conse-
quent high prices, ana in restraint of
trade, then what is a criminal con-
spiracy?
