CONGRESS HEARS WILSON READ
MESSAGE ON MEXICAN SITUATION
Gives History of Negotiations Carried on Between the Two
Governments and Outlines Future Policy of United
States Toward Southern Republic

ted we're rejected in a note, the full
text Of which l take the liberty of lay
ing before you.
Il am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the authorities
at Mexico City had been grossly mis-
informed and misled upon two points.
They did not realize the spirit of the
American people in this matter, their
earnest friendliness and yet sober de-
termination that some just solution be
found for the Mexican difficulties;
and they did not believe that the
present administration spoke through
Mr.. Lind for the people of the United
States.
"The effect of this unfortunate mis-
understanding on their part is to leave
them singularly isolated and without
friends who can effectually aid them.
So long as the misunderstanding con-
tinues, we a only await the time Of
their awakening to a realization of
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
u good offers upon them. The situa.
ton must be given a little time to
work itself out in the new circum-
stances; and ! believe that only a lit
tie while will be necessary. For the
circumstances are new. The rejection
of u friendship makes them new
and will inevitably bring it's own al
terations In the whole aspect of af-
fairs. The actual situation of the au-
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed"
The president concluded:
Il am happy to say that several Of
the great governments of the world
have given this government their gen.
erous moral support in urging upon
the provisional authorities the accept.

should make us feel the more solemn
ly bound to go to the utmost length of
patience and ~forbearance in the pain
full and anxious business.
"The steady pressure of moral force
will before many days break the bar
riers of pride and prejudice down and
we shall triumph as Mexico's friends
sooner than we could triumph as her
enemies--and how. much more hand

finer satisfaction of conscience and of
honor"

TO TRY 7HAW IN OCTOBER
ATTORNEY WlTHDRAWs APPLl.
CATION FOR HABEAs CORPUS.
Remanded Back to Jail to Await Reg
.ular Channels, viii Now Seek
Freedom on Bail.

S~herbrooke, Quebec.--Judge Clio
bensky granted the writ of dis
continuance of the habeas corpus
proceedings applied for by Harry X.
Thaw. The result of this is to throw
the proceedings back where they start
ed from, with Thaw in Jail on an inn
perfect commitment and entitled to a
jury trial next October. Only the
minister Of Justices interference can
force action in Thaw's case. y
The most remarkable outburst ever
witnessed in a court of justice in
Canada took place when Thaw was
cheered to the echo as he sat in court.
And the cheers went without rebuke
from the white-haired, black-garbed
judge, who had just granted Thaw the
preliminary victory in his fight for
liberty from the Matteawan asylum.
Attorneys for Thaw have decided
to ask for his release on bail. He
will be arraigned to elect whether he
will be tried by a jury or summarily
before a magistrate. He will demand
a jury trial, and therefore cannot be
tried until the second week in Octo.
Der. His lawyers say he will be
bailed.
After a careful examination Of the
law, Hector Verret, attorney for the
New York state officials, said:
IT am reluctantly compelled to be.
lieve that Thaw cannot be deported il
bailed until he has appeared in court
on the charge on which he was ar.
rested. My associates disagree with
me, but I feel sure Of my ground"
