of the bulkhead law Of 1901, in order
to allow the city TO acquire the water
front, but action may be taken on the
floor. The reason for not taking any
definite action, It was said. was that
several organizations and civic bodies
in the city had not gone over the pro-
posed law thoroughly and they desire
TO report their attitude 70 Council. Sew
eral members of City Council are in
favor of the proposed act presented by
Councilman Weller f. Stoyer. The
Councilmen met last evening in com
mttee meeting, but the time was
taken up with other matters.
Among the many organizations that
have discussed the proposed law, the
Mercantile Association is playing a
prominent part. A special committee
appointed by that organization, met
yesterday in the offices OF Howell S.
England. member of the committee.

ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND
Toward the United States in Regard
to NeXiCain Affairs

London, Nov. 12.-The prime min
lister. H. H. Asquith discussing the
/ Mexican question in his annual
speech at the lord mayors banquet
said:
Our interests in Mexico call for
vigilant care. Mexico still is in the
throes OF civil war, but there never
was and never has been any question
OF political Intervention by Great
Britain in the domestic concerns of
Mexico, or in the Central or South
American states.
1t is not part OF our duty to pre-
| vent revolutions or control civil
wars. The utmost we can do is to
/ give what protection is possible on
/ this coast TO British subjects and
property. There have been rumOrs
that after the United States had
adopted line Of their own in regard
| to Mexico we took line deliberately
/ calculated to thwarJ America. There
! is not a vestige OF foundation for
such a rumor.
We have recognized President
/ Huerta because, having neither the
viii nor the power to intervene. we
were bound TO deal with the de facto
\ government, and because according
1 TO information then in our posses
sion there appeared to be no element
! except that Of Huerta and his sup
I porters, which offered any prospect
/ OF the restoration OF stability and
/ order That was on March 81.
Since then there has been no
/ change in policy and no departure
/ Of any kind. We have the right to
/ assume that in whatever policy Am
erica adopts she will have regard
/ FOR the legitimate commercial for
! eign interests in Mexico, as we'll as
! her own. There has been an inter-
! change of views with the utmost
| frankness and cOrdiality on both
sides. Our diplomatic relations with
the United States for a long time
! have been such that with the freeegt
! frankness of discussion on all mat
| tiers that might from time to time
arise we both feel the fullest assur-
ance that nothing can happen to
disturb our common resolve to attain
| and maintain a sympathetic under
standing
