I know they are men of the very highest mentality as well as mor? al and political aims, and for that reason 1 think that their friendship toward Mexico and tho sympathy evinced for the principles of Mexi? can Constitutionalists arc not only sincere but entirely disinterested and are tho result of the existing har? mony between the aims of the cause of which I have the honor to pre? sent und tho ideals of American De? mocracy. "As long as I am at the head of tho constitutionalists' army, or in any other otllce, my policy will be to strive in such way as > have our interna? tional obligation complete and have our relations with foreign govern? ments become more and more cordial and especially with such countries is have their destiny linked with the po? litical economic and personal inter? ests of Mexico. "I can conceive no better evidence of the spirit of cordiality and friend? ship which we hear towards the Cnit ed States than our willingness to re? ceive unoftlciut representations and claims made by the United States government in regard to all matters i concerning its citizens within the lie public of Mexico. I must, however, call your attention to the fact that we could not, Without ?ncrlltctns our hard tight for prestige consider representa? tions mado through the good offices of the USIted States in behalf of for? eigners unless we be previously In? formed that such mediation has been requested of the United States by the interested nation."

A meeting of the new hoard has been called for April 15, when, it is expected, Nowcomb Carlton will be elected president.

In such a case the stock i holders should receive, as a minimum, (a sum far in excess of the present market value of the shares. "The other alternative which has been advanced to take over the long distance telephone lines and enter into competition with the existing telegraph lines for the purpose of destroying their business is not only of so questionable a character as to be repudiated when its full signifi? cance is realized, but is so utterly im? possible and unworkable from I prac? tical point of view as to make it negligible.

NEW TARIFF RESULTS. Hi?.vr.Ni i:s aboit \s fxpfctfd FROM first. l ulling Off Of Customs Receipts for Nine Months Amounts to $21,750, 000. Washington, April S.?Figures were made public in a treasury depart? ment Ltatement tenight showing that customs revenues during the fiscal year, which ends June 30, 1914, al? most certainly will meet and probably will exceed the estimates made when congress passed the new tariff law. The statement, prepared by Assist? ant Secretary MUburn, in charge of customs, said: "It was estimated that receipts from customs for the fiscal year 1914, wbich included three months under the tariff act of 1909 and nine months under i the present tariff act, approved Oc? tober I, 1913, would amount to $270, j 000,000, resulting in a loss of $49, , 000,000 from the customs receipts of the previous year. "The total customs collections for the nine months just ended amounted to $225,500,o00, showing a loss for the nine months' period of $24,750, 000 compared with the collections for the same period during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913. As this loss is only one-half of the estimated ; loss for the whole year, it is probable j that the receipts for the fiscal year 1 ending June 30, 1914, will exceed the j estimate. "The loss In revenue during the months of January and February, 1914, amounted in round numbers to $6,000,000 and$ 10,000,000, respect? ively. "The customs receipts for the month of March show a loss of but $1,500,0o0 and a recovery of re? ceipts as compahred with February of this year of over $8,000,000. "In view of the above figures it now appears that a monthly average of less than $15,000,000 for April, May and June, the remaining three months of the present fiscal year, would bring the total of customs receipts up to $270,000,000, the original estimate for this fiscal year. It is probable that receipts for the three remaining months will exceed this average of $15,000,000 and that the total re? ceipts for the fiscal year will run over the estimate of $270.000,000."
