The wire wheel was common IN the

Thaw, over whom he killed Stanford
White, is one of the three persons in
fear of their lives, now that he has es-
capped from MatteaWan asylum, where

are DR.. Austin Flint, the alientst, who
decided that the man was insane and
SO testified, with the result that Thaw
was sent to Matteawan and has been
kept there despite his efforts TO get out
through habeas corpus proceedings,
and William T. Jerome, former district
attorneysof New York county, who has
bitterly fought every effort or Thaw
to set out. 5 &E
There is ia commonly accepted re-

all of them.

Washington, Aug. 27. President
Wilson, deening it his duty he said 10
speak frankly of what this government
has done and should seek to do in
fulfllment of it's obligation to Mexico
herself, as friend and neighhor
and to the American citizens whose
lives and interests are daily aHecteu
by the distressing conditions which
now obtain beyond our southern
border" in person addressed the house
and senate in joint session on the
Mexican situation. .r ..-
"The peace. prosperity and content
ment of Mexico mean more to us than
merely an enlarged field for our COM
merce and enterprise" he said after
dwelling on our neighborly interest in
Mexico.
"They mean the enlargement Of the
field of self government and the
realization of the hopes and rights or
a nation with whose best aspirations,
so long suppressed and disappointed,
we deeply sympathize.
Even the foundations of peace de-
sired are not promised from the pres
ent conditions in Mexico, as the presi-
dent sees it. The conditions there
flaye rather grown worse than better.
Even the territory partially controlled
by Hureta has decreased.
I'm the estimation of the president
"the prospect of pacification Of the
country, even by arms, seemed 70
grow more remote, and is evidently
Impossible by other means than
force
He dwelt upon the condition preced-
ing the sending of John Lind as his
personal representative, who was in
structed to press very earnestly up
on those exercising authority in
Mexico that 1--WE wish to act in these
circumstances in spirit of most
earnest and disinterested friendship"
and to offer our services because Of
sour genuine beside for play fair and
as the nearest neighbor, the powers
of the world expect it.
"All America cries for settlement 4
read the note Lind bore.
The president emphatically praised
the execution of the mission by Lind
and said the Huerta government re-
jected the proposals because the au-
thorities at Mexico City had been
greatly misinformed and misled" upon
the spirit Of the American people in
the matter and upon the mistaken be-
lief" that the present administration
did not speak for the people of the
United States.
The president announced the posi-
tion OF the United States as follows:
No armed intervention.
Strict neutrality

of arms or ammunitions OF war of any
kind from the United States to any

part of the republic of Mexico"
Under no circumstances, to "be par
tisans of either party to the contest
that now distracts Mexico or consti-
tute ourselves virtual umpire be-
tween them.
Urge all Americans to leave Mexico
Immediately and assist them TO get
away in every possible way. To let
every one in Mexico, who assumes the
exercise of authority know that this
government will vigilantly watch the
fortunes of those Americans who cam
not get away and will hold those re-
sponsible for their sufferings and loss
es to definite recreation.
That they can and will be made
plain beyond the possibility OF mis-
understanding" he declared. The me-
gotiations will be open to resumption
at any time upon either initiative of
this government or Mexico.
Accompanying presidents address
was the reply of the Huerta govern
ment rejecting the American proposals.
They were written by Minister Gamboa
and furnished to congress in printed
form. ~
They suggested the following alter
native policy for the United States.
The reception of Mexican ambassa-
dor in Washington.
That the United States send a new
ambassador to Mexico without rs-
straints.
The strict observance of the neu.
trality laws and see to 1t that no ma
terial or monetary assistance was
Egiven the rebels. ~
The unconditional recognition of the
Hherta government. =
The occasion has not been paral-
| lelled in over a century.
No other president since George
Washington appeared before congress-
on foreign affairs.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters and
Bryan had places in the executive gall
| lery. The rest OF the cabinet was ON
the floor.
Gamboa's reply opens with the
! statement that the Mexican govern
ment paid due attention to the advice
and considerations expressed by the
government. of the United States.' IL
declares that eighteen out Of twenty
seven states in Mexico, ali three terri
tories and one federal district, are un-
der the absolute control of the present
government.
Gamboa says that if the good offices
of the United States are TO be ofstfia
character of those now rendered us
we will have to decline them in the
most categorical and definite Manner
He says the imputation contained
in the first paragraph of your instruc-
tions that no progress has been made
toward establishing at the capital Of
Mexico, a government that may enjoy
| the respect and obedience of the MeKi-
! can people, is unfounded.'

A typical American incident occurred
a few days ago at the Washington ball
grounds, when some unconventional
''fan," noting hat President Wilson did
not rise with the rest of the crowd at
the seventh inning, shouted Stand up,
Woody" The President laughed and
rose, while the crowd cheered.
Now if some cockney Londonite
shouted "Stand up Georgia" to the
King, he would be likely to find him
self provided with free board at the
national expense for a time sufficient
to give him ample chance for reflection.
. Traditionally the president is sur
rounded by much ceremonial. Uni
formed lackeys guard the doors to his
residence, and only on rare occasions
does he open his house and give all
corners n chance to shake hands.
But when he goes abroad the bar.
riers that a century of precedent has
built around him vanish before an easy
going democracy. And this familiar
attitude seems to be growing. Mr.
al dlu WI. MCKINLEY were
rarely hailed by affectionate diminu.
-tives. But Mr.. Roosevelt was Teddy"
tor Ted" and Mr.. Taft was Bill" A
scholastic reserve may attach to Mr.
Wilson, but he seems to be Woody"
Serious minded persons deplore these
familiarities, in which the nations first
Office is held. Possibly to Il slight de-
gree. And yet this slightly boorish in
formality is but a part of the national
horse play. The American people rev.
erence power and honor, and when it
comes to a crisis, they grit their teeth
and fight.
In other moments of life, they can
scarce restrain the national sense of
humor. With difficulty they keep
their faces straight while the masters
of ceremony are going through their
stage play. The president has to take
his share of the national April foolery,
and no one who ever holds the office
will be likely to care.
