 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2Z.- There are all sorts of wild eyed ru- mors regarding the attitude of the American government toward Mexico, and one of these is to the effect that President Wilson is considering open ing negotiations with the rebel forces in Mexico. The Huerta regime has taxed the patience of the United States almost beyond endurance, but since nearly all citizens of the United States have accepted the warning of President Wilson to leave Mexico, ,--e strain upon the State Department has been considerably lessened. The Huerta government has been making a lot of noise about the extended wis it of the United States warships, and its invitation to the United States to withdraw these vessels has only re- suited in a number of foreign gOvel,i- nents sending some of their ships on a friendly" visit to Mexican ports. while the shifting about of the United States vessels meets any valid ObJec- ii that can be raised against our course from a friendly nation such as Mexico is supposed to be. Since it is the positive purpose of this govern ment not to recognize the results of the Me ican elections, it is eviden' that we are farther away from a saTiS- factory understanding With Mexico tLan at any other time since the wars of that country began. Patience seems to be one of the virtues of President Wilson, and if our Mexican situation can be settled through the exercise of that virtue, it vii be a fine substitute for the blood of American soldiers.
 Regulations of Navigation
 In view of the great catastrohe of the Volturno there is renewed interest in tke consideration of the seaman's servitude bill, which was called up in the senate this week by Senator La Toilette. In the course of debate, it was brought out that the steamship companies have been opposing the legislation because of the extra eX- pense that would be entailed upon them by larger crews, and by com ulsory life boat and fire drills. The steamship companies stand in the same relation as did the railroad con- panies when it was proposed to reg ulate the hours of labor and the num- Der of employees in train crews.
 The seaman's servitude bill contem- plates the enforcement of an adequate number of thoroughly trained seamen upon all vessels.
 Senator Burton of Ohio told the senate that he would not be at all sur prised if it finally developed that the catastrophe of the Volume would not have occurred had the vessel been loaded in accordance with American laws. To this statement he added that our laws in regard to the kind of car go that may be carried by passenger vessels are stricter than those of any other country.
 Since there is to be an international conference to cover matters of safety at sea it has been asserted by some of the senators that the American law in reference to the loading of vessels should be prominently considered as one of the great reforms for the nav igation of the worlds ships.
 The Corn Growers
 The corn crop movement, which up to three or four years ago was con fined to the southern states and had just begun to attract attention, has developed so that there will be fifteen hundred boys and girls and five hun dred adults in the party that comes from Ohio to Washington, D. C., in the fall.
 Four years ago there were but a half dozen state champions to make the first journey to Washington, and in view of the fact that this is the first time the corn crop work has been extended in Ohio the result in that state is phenomenal Governor Cox while in Congress interested himself in this work and was one of the pio- | neers to interest the youth of Ohio | in raising bumper crops of corn.
 The Agricultural Department always | co-operates in the corn crop move ment, and has hung up fine prizes | for the different states, so that thru | the arrangement the expenses of sue cessful competitors is provided, and | the junket is a celebration of splendid | achievements in agriculture by ,-e intelligent youth of the states.
