Cabinet Discusses Matter.
BRITISH MINISTER TALKS.
Believes Incident Should Not Be Sub-
 iect of Comment.

Mexico City, Oct. 21.-The dissolu- ton of congress by President Huerta was purely an internal affair of Mex ico which could not possibly have any bearing upon the presentation of my credentials said Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister, when asked today concerning the comments in the press growing out of the coincidence of the two events.
 The instructions of my government were definite, he continued Had it been desired that l should withhold the presentation of my credentials. I would have been so advised. Personal lys st is hot presumed that l knew whether /Ihe dissolution of congress was an st authorized by the laws of the counfy. 1 am not sure but that it is. The matter was wholly within the discretion of my government, and should not be the subject of comment,
 The minister declined to talk about recommendation which might be made concerning intervention. He said he was inclined to believe that the United States did not fully appreciate the seriousness of conditions in Mexi- co, which. in his opinion, were due to such 8 lack of accord between the government and the people and such a diversity of aspirations among the reyolutiOnists that no one element could be expected to dominate the sit nation.
 Education of the people to an ap- preciatiOn of their responsibilities was the only solution he could see. He saw no reason why the present state of affairs might not continue indefi- nitely He never seriously believed that the United States intended to in- terVene

 Women tried persuasion and argu- ment in England peaceful means that have been effective here, Mrs. Plank hurst said. These failing, violence became necessary. Nothing was ever got from an English parliament eX- cept through violence she said. "The machinery of the British government is an elaborate arrangement of how not to do anything"
 Feels Absolutely GuiltIess.
 Whatever social legislation has been secured has been due to "womans civil war" and much of it was granted to soften the spirit of the suffragettes. The old age pension law. she declared, was granted to save Winston Churchill his seat in the cabinet. The names of Churchill, Asquith and Lloyd George evoked hissing.
 By nature law abiding, hating vio- lence and disorder. Mrs. Pankhurst said she had from the beginning felt ab- solutely guiltless, for she believed there was no other way to secure wO- mans rights. 'fThe women who have drawn the prizes in life's lucky bag are the ones who are Wasing this war" she said, the women with good fathers, good husbands, good brothers and who are engaged in useful indus tries. They are lighting for the wo men of all classes.
 Mrs. Pankhurst discussed equal sui frage and white slavery. White slav- cry she characterized as more awful even than negro slavery in it's worst form ever was in the United States.
 In this slavery are slaves of every color, and they are all of one sex"
 She criticized Englands logging act providing punishment for white slave agents.
 Punish "White Slave" Customers.
 Why don't they go to the seat of the evil 2" he said. Why don't they punish the customers With no de- mand, there will be no traffic. Give the women the opportunity to frame the legislation and there will be no white slavery. The government of the country is the best white slave firm we have got

British View
 Is Unchanged SIR EDWARD GREY GIVES LITTLE
 SATISFACTION. ON MEXICAN MATTER
His Declaration a Great Disappoint- ment to United states-Ambassado Page Describes Conference.

Washington, Oct. 21. = Dispatches were received at the state department today from Ambassador Page describ ing in detail his conference with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign min ister, concerning the attitude of Great Britain in Mexico.
 The position of the British foreign office was explained by the ambassa- dor substantially as indicated in the press despatches from London.
 Sir Edward Grey Disappoints.
 The American government, it is known is not entirely pleased with the British governments policy, being particularly disappointed by the decla- ration of Sir Edward Grey that noth ing thus far had occurred in Mexico to change the British view that recog- milton of Huerta was the correct poll icy.
 The attitude of the administration here is that the forcible arrest of most of the members of the Mexican con- gress and the arbitrary assumption by General Huerta of the legislative as well as executive powers of the gov ernment in themselves constitute acts which materially alter the state of af- fairs in Mexico.
 Cabinet Discusses Matter.
 The presentation of Sir Lionel Car den's credentials despite these occur rences is being interpreted by Ameri-. -can officials, notwithstanding the Brit sympathy with the viewpoint of the United States.
 There were no developments in the situation as far as any new expres sion of policy. The cabinet discussed the subject briefly.
