As the Connecticut River railroad has
been acting with the Concord and Mon
treal in the negotiations to date and
as the Boston and Lowell, and Fitch
burg railroads had agreed to provisions
of the earlier agreement, it was said
last night by persons conversant with
the Boston and Maine situation, that
general agreement probably would
result
The manner in which reorganization
/ is to be effected while the road is in
receivership was in doubt, but it was
pointed out that the company, with
more than $10,000,00O cash in its treas
ury was in a better position than in
many years to pay some of its floating
indebtedness and negotiate for loans

BIG SUMS RECEIVED
FROM UNITED STATES
Money Makes Great Impression Upon
Ring Of Foreigners - Teutons Buy
ing Mineral and Agricultural Proper
ties in Many Sections.

WASHINGTON, March 10 The
state department has received confden-
tial reports indicating that Germans
are rapidly displacing other foreigners
in the advisory councils of the present
government Of Mexico.
Reports received by the department
indicate that they have enlarged thcif
sphere Of influence from the direction
Of munition plants to the financial,
commercial and political fields and that
the Mcxicans are gladly accepting their
assistance.
The state department has excellent
reason for believing that large sums
of money have been shipped from the
United States to Mexico City by agents
of the Kaiser and that the bullion is
making q great impression upon the
ring of politicians who control the first
chief.
Sec. Lansing was informed yesterday
that lgnacio Bonillas, who was named
ambassador to the United States more
than a month ago, but who has never
appeared in Washington has told Car
rama that he will not come here and
that some other candidate must be
found to fill his place.
While the state department was
never greatly impressed by the pros
poet of having Boniilas in Washington
because he is n Gringo hatcr. the adj
miuistration realizes that some power
ful influence must have swayed him t.
give up the job which is considered by
far the best plum withia the gift Of
the Mexican government. Heretofore
it has been sought after hv the princi-
pal politicians OF Mexico and Bonil-
las 5 refusal is unprecedented.
In addition TO other disquieting re.
ports the state department has been
advised that Germans are buying prop.
