NEW YORK, July 3.-The arrange ment under which the Morgan firm was appointed commercial agent of the British government in the United States during the war has been wide Iy criticised On the one hand it has not met with satisfaction among @ large number of American contractors for supplies. They complained that in some cases they were rivals of the Morgan firm in special lines of commerce. In England criticism of the arrangement was carried into par Hament and only yesterday it was debated there.
 Lord Grinthorpe and banker mem bers of the house of lords urged that Canada should have preference in or ders for shells and added that "one reason why more orders are not going to Canada is that the big shadow of an interoper stands between her and the government
 Earl Curzon, lord of the privy seal replying to this speech, informed the house that the Morgan company was acting as British agent on a commis- sion of one per cent.

 Among those in attendance were Representatives Goodwin and Acuff both of whom responded to calls for speeches and each briefly described the work of land legislation. The meeting voted them thanks for what had been accomplished. Tn the course of remarks by lessees the new land code was warmly approved and it was declared that it was as. fair as it could have been made to- wssd all parties in interest and to the state.
 There were expressions of approval of the appointment of W. A. Moeur as land commissioner. Speakers said that they believed that he would guard the interests of the state and at the samo time he would not ne- gIect the interests of the men who had settled upon the school lands looking forward to the time when they would become the owners of the lands.

confisoate Private Property

MEXICO CITY. July 3.-Private property and in some instances foreign property is being cOnfiscated, although rioting now seems to have disappeared. The international relief committee is giving families corn and has sufficient supplies to distribute quarter of 2 million rations.
 Much apprehension for residents of the city arose as a result of a socialist meeting last Sunday. A committee of public safety was organized with Soto Cana as president. Summary punish ment and guilIotining is ad vocated for enemies of the revolution. There are apparently no prospects of the imme- diate re-establishment of telegraphic service.
