WASHINGTON, Aug. A. 4.AFollowing
the lead of the, railroad commission
of California in the Wells Fargo de-
c'sion, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered a sweeping reduc-
ton in express rates for parcels all
over the country. The cut ranges
from ten to sixty per cent and be-
comes effective October Is. The
commission declares for two years the
rates will be experimental when, un-
less the companies lose too much, they
will become permanent. Todays or
der forces close competition between
the express companies and the parcels
pest. In many instances the new
rates are lower than the postal rates.
Practically all rates on parcels un-
der fifty pounds weight are radically
lowered. On small packages carried
more than two hundred and less than
three thousand miles, rates will be
nearly all lower than the parcels post
For distances over three thousand
miles the express and parcels post
rates will be about equal. The order
reduces rates on all articles for drink
to seventy five per cent of the first
class rate. The commissions order
the companies rate tariffs
and establishes "block" or zone"
system of tariffs. 1t also organizes a
permanent committee composed of
representatives of the express COM
pany and the commission to devise ex-
press avenues of transportation, and
eliminate all circuitous routes.

Bryan Announces Diplomats Resig.
nation is Accepted; President Has
Plan for Bringing Peace;
SITUATION is BETTER
OFFICIAL Announcements OF Program
Expected Within Twenty -Four
Hours-Armed Intervention Not Be-
ing Considered.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Secretary
OF State Bryan announced this after
noon he had accepted the resignation
of Ambassador Wilson. No statement
was issued as to the cause of the
practical dismissal, but there is no
doubt it was due to Wilson's anti
pathy to this governments course in
Mexico, to his close relations with
Huerta and to the hand he Is believed
to have played in the days when the
Huerta forces assassinated Madero.
The state department issued a
statement that Ambassador Wilson's
resignation to become effective Octo-
Der IA is accepted. The part he felt
1t his duty to take in the earlier
stages of the revolution made 1t diff
ficult for him to represent the views
of the president and administration,
in view of the situation now exist
ing"
Wilson said: "I have no informa-
tion regarding the presidents propos-
ed plan for the solution of the sit
uation in Mexico. but I'm sure he
and Bryan are actuated by the best
in view only what they deem best for
both countries" The ambassador in
sisted his recommendations represent
the views of ninety eight per cent of
the American and foreign population
in Mexico and the entire diplomatic
corps there.
WASHINGTON, Aug. At Is an
nounced at the executive offices that
an official announcement covering at
least in part the presidents attitude
toward Mexico will be issued within
twenty four hours. It is stated the
announcement will not deal in any
way with the suggestion for armed
Intervention.
The entire plan considered, provides
a comprehensive suggestion on medi-
alton. a further first hand investiga-
ton into the cause of the revolution
in Mexico, and possibly as a final re-
sort, the removal of the prohibition
against supplying arms to the consti-
tutionalists of the north. How far the
president is prepared to go along this
line is not stated because between
now and the issuance of the statement
something might arise to cause modi-
fication. 1t was made plain when the
president talked to newspaper CORES
pondents. he expects the cooperation
Of both house and senate foreign COM
mittees.

afterward making it known he consid-
ers Intervention as scarcely remotely
possible. According to the white
house accounts the Mexican situation
is clearing. and the president thinks
the time has arrived to tell some
plans for restoring peace
