Mr.. Bacon replied that Mr.. stone

assert its authority. even though III 10
ing so it should endanger the ilVes Vi
persons on this side Of the international

ment would have the right 10 quell the

Mexico Both he and Mr.. Works de-
clared that intervention to protect II"
lives on the border would probably mean
the sacrifice OF far greater numper oi
lives Of Americans in the interior oil
Mexico.
The United States could not well sehd
troops into Mexico without taking one
side or the other in the pending con-
flict. and Mr.. Bacon contended that IN
any event the adoption Of MI stone $
resolution would be a declaration OF war
Taking up Mr. Bacon's contention. Mr.
stone drew the inference that fear OF
war deters the American government
from proper steps for the protection OF
its own people.
He admitted there had. been no inten-
tional sacrifice Of American lives rs the
result of Mexican battles. but declared
that the killing of American citizens nad
been equivalent to deliberate intention.
"If I understand the Senator from
Georgia. -" said Senator Stone, instead or
having the people of FL Paso protect
themselves he would advise them to run
away
Americans Should Be Cautious.
ooh, the Senator puts it in the most
ridiculous way" retorted Mr.. Bacon. Il
do not advise them TO run away, but
would advise them to be particular about
the order OF their going. They should do
the same thing that the Senator from
Missouri would do II he found two men

after them" retorted the Missouri Sem
ator.
Senator Bacon replied that the men
shooting into his house would be beyond
their rights. while the two factions in
Mexico have right 10 be fighting on
their own soil.
Mr.. Cham berlain suggested that both
the President and Mr.. Stone had forgot
ten that the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalso
covered just such a situation as has
arisen.

The complications that will arise over the boundary line between the United States and Mexico is only the fer menting of war between the two countries. The fact that the people who have paid their good money for land in the city of Fl Paso are not in clined to give it up without a protest and a scrap and that will, in all probability, pre- cipitate the two countries in a difficulty that will be hard to settle.
