Commas and the Law.

The comma in the British act Of
parliament which has caused dispute
between Monmouthshire miners and
their employers recalls the fact that
such marks Of punctuation were in.
troduced into law only half a century
ago. Down to 1850 all acts of parlia'
ment consisted, in theory at all events,
of one sentence. In that year a spe-
cal statute was passed to allow the
text of legislative enactments to be
punctuated and pointed by full.stops,
etc. They are so easily interpolated
and altered that lawyers know their
danger and avoid them in legal docu-
ments.

HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE
Dietator's Declaration OF Retirement
Said To Have No Strings At

Thought.

Washington, d. C.-UnofIicial re
ports say that General Carranza chief
of the revolutionary forces in Mexico,
was willing to participate in the media
tion conference at Niagara Falls on
condition that there should be nc
armistice between his forces and the
Huerta government and that Mexican

ed which concern only such affairs as
had been developed by the American
occupation Of Vera Cruz.
Officials here would not discuss the
situation In the absence of direct in
formation.
The Foreign Office sent note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tampico had been blockaded
by order of President Huerta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because OF the ship
ments of arms to the Constitutionalists
at Tampico from United States ports.
there was no apprehension apparent
here in Government sources. Depart
ment heads seemed to be confident
that General Huerta would not attempt
to blockade the port of Tampico
against the delivery by the Cuban
steamer Antilla of arms for the Con
stitutionalsts. The American State
Department, it was pointed out, was
fully satisfied of its right to prevent
such blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of these develop
ments 1t was expected here that there
would be no interference either on tho
part of the United States or General
Huerta with the landing of ammuni-
tion at Tampico from the steamship
Antilla Admiral Badger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor in Puerta Mexico
harbor and at Alvarado.
A big cargo of arms for the Consti-
tutionalists was landed at Tampico
while Admiral Mayo's flag lieutenant
stood by, but took no action.
The arms were from the Sushine,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con-
sui at Tampico of the proposed block
ade, so that warships could keep out
of the line of fire.
That there are no strings to Huerta's
declaration that he will get out when
assurances of pacified Mexico are
given was announced by Rabasa, of the
Mexican delegation. Huerta is will
ing to accept provisional govern.
ment.
A fourth conference of Americans
and Mexicans was held Subjects un'
der discussion were those developed in
the early meetings.
The medators are said to be ready
10 agree even with Carranza.
The proposition from the A B c
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con-
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle the Mexican diff
fculty. 1t embodies no specific re-
quest that General Carranza discuss
either internal or international ques-
tions, nor does 1t even specify that an
armistice between the revolutionists
and the Huerta troops must be estab-
lished, according to the version given
