Mr. Bartlett, a Georgia Democrat who

Reiterated and Again Denied
That He Has Promised Not
TO Run for President.
WILSON WARNING MODIFIED
Americans in Mexico Notified
That They Need Not Rush
from the Country as If
in Present Danger.
trrom The Tribune Rureaun

Washington, Sept. S-Whether VIC
toriano Huerta who claims 10 be Pro-
visional President Of Mexico, is or is not
10 be a candidate for election TO the
Presidency or whether he has or has not
given this government oral assurances
that he will not he a candidate, Is rapid
IL becoming n diplomatic mystery as
puzzling, apparently. to officials OF the
administration as to ordinary observers
who have not the advantage Of scanning
official reports.
IL was reiterated in high quarters here
to-day that such assurances had oeeh
given In a most positive manner And II
was further stated that they came
through Nelson Shaughnessy, American
Charge d'Affaires in the city or MEXICO
Mr. O'Shaughnessy says that he mas
never received from the Mexican govern
meut any such assurances. Fredenco
Gamboa. Mexican Minister for Foreign
Affairs. says the same thing.
High oficSls OF the government SAID
to-day that they did not know what to
make OF the situation. II Is believed
however. that there ia logical explana-
ton. but that the administration here Is
not ready to make Il. one suggestion IS
that Mr.. O'Shaughnessy IS making his
denlals ON account OF the local political
situation in Mexico. and that he really
did get such assurances, but for dipio-
matte reasons is not prepared TO admit
as much at this time.
May Have Been Misconstrued.
Another explanation Is that MI
O'Shaughnessy has made reports that
have been nisconstrued or misnterpreted
here. There are officials. however VINO
have 10 do with the Mexican situation
and who are presumed 20 know nearly
everything about II, who say That MT
O'Shaughnessy has never transmitted any
definite assurances from the Hucrta gov
eminent.
II is confirmed here that the state De-
nartmcnt recently sent instructions TO
American consular officers throughout
Mexico. 20 inform Americans that II was
not necessary. I'm complying with the
Presidents suggestion. 20 rush out or
Mexico. nor should they consider that
they w;re being ordered to get out or
warned ~ immediate danger.
This instruction. which evidently caused
much surprise IN Mexico. was the out
come ~ numerous inquiries reaching tho
state Department ne 70 Just what Presi-
dent Wilson meant Numerous American
concerns owning large mines and other
interests told the State Department that
n would be folly for them entirely 20
abandon their great plants. and that they
must leave some Americans 70 guard
them. II was decided 20 reassure the
Americans IN Mexico that this govern
ment dld not consider them in immediate
danger.

added, rolling the gems in the palm OF
his hand in full view Of the Senate.
These were purchased by Ludwig MIS-
son, Of New York These ten pearls
cost S7S,57S So"
Senator Reed suggested, while the
Senate laughed. that the pearls be
passed around for examination.
How much did they COST" asked
Senator Overman, in amazement.
They cost S7S,57S ST." replied sena-
tor Smoot. Il can conceal every one

Spouse 10 an inquiry from Senator

duty on these pearls at 20 per cent
would mount to S15,715 T6. II any
one desired to smuggle similar pearls
into the country they could be con-
cealed in one cigar. Take box of
one hundred OF such cigars and use
them for smuggling filed with pearls.
The loss Of duty would be $l,57i,5I
THE anomaly about this whole mat
ter is that the honest dealers in prec-
ious stones are oil opposed TO the in
crease. i know Of one firm in New
York that has over 100000 worth Of
pearls on hand. The increase of duty
from 10 to 20 per cent will Immediately
give that firm profit Of 100000. yet
they are opposed TO the increase.
Why? Because they know in the fut-
ure they will be compelled 20 come IN
direct competition with men who will
buy their pearls and precious stones
from smugglers instead Of foreign deal
ers."

that the Democrats had. taking present
conditions TITO consideration, provided
for a gradual reduction Of duties on
manufactured woollen products. while
at one swoop they had removed the
duty entirely on wool, the product OF
the American farmer and sheep owner.
you propose In this bill to remove
| the duties on practically all farm
, products. said Mr. La Toilette. You
say that protection on farm products is
buncombe. You cannot make that
claim for the duty on wool"

planned that $4,000 farmers owned

When Senator La Toilette concluded

refrain from debate. He said that the
subject had been thoroughly covered
before; that Senator La Toilette had
refrained from offering his amendment
when the wool issue was being dis
cussed and that the tariff bills pas
sage should not be delayed BY the re-
opening OF the wool fight.
When the vote came at the night
session the substitute was defeated. -

a straight ID per cent duty on wool.
This was promptly voted down. 20 to
