If any persons in the city cherished

carnival in the near future, they would

Mexico City, Aug. 49, There has
been no breach between Mexico and
the United States. Instead John Lind,
special representative Of President
Wilson, conferred all night with Huerta
in the national palace.
The gravity Of the situation was re
lieyed when Lind denied that Mexico
demanded immediate recognition.
Those who spread the report that HUI
erta demanded recognition before mid
night said the information was given
to the newspapers by DR.. Aureting
urratia, minister Of interior who later
repdiated the statement.
Lind today remained at the Ameri-
can embassy awaiting further instrue-
tions from Washington. Lind and
O'shaughnessy regard Huertas rejee
ton of the mediation proposals as
providing a favorable opening for fur

as a final bar to a peaceful solution

Washington, Aug. l9.-It Is believed
that Huerta has partially backed down
from his original refusal to treat with
this country on mediation This opin-
ion is based on a communication re
ceiyed by the president from Lind
The dispatch told Of a conference
saying Huerta was very cordial
Lind conferred with him after the
formal reply had been sent to Wash
ington when il was assumed that he
had rejected mediation.
Secretary Bryan refused to affirm
or deny that the government received
a formal reply from the Mexican gov
ernment regarding the mediation pro
posal He denied that he stated last
night that the mediation suggestion
had been rejected and refused to say
when he thought the proposals would
be made public.
Close friends Of the president hur-
ried TO the White House today to learn
the authenticity OF the alarming re-
prost from Mexico City last night Sen
ators Lodge and stone had a brief talk
with Wilson before the cabinet meet
ing
The report that Huerta had severed
4 diplomatic relations created some per
turbation among officials and it was
not until O'shaughnsssy had forward
ed denials that officials here relaxed
tension.
1t is feared that sinister motive
was behind the apparently semi-offic

Norton Killed in a
3-Cornered Battle

to the field, 1t seems, by this time, at.
any rate far enough to be seen from
the rear window of the Scott home, for
it was at this time that the first shot
was fired from the window The VIII
nesses did not think that the shot
fired BY Mrs. Scott had struck Norton,
for he showed no signs Of being hit,
but when the body was examined at
the undertaking parlors it was found
that three small shot had struck him
just back Of the shoulder and in the
side.
Immediately after this shot Norton
raised his gun and fired through the
window, distance Of probably fifty
or sixty yards. The shots were what
is known as 3. BIS and are large. A
stevens shotgun was carried by Nor
ton The gun was well aimed, marks
were found where nineteen shot had
passed through the screen Mrs. Scott
was not hit but one shot struck Miss
Maud Dlylrey just below the groin. on
the right lhlh Miss Diyiney had been
standing by the door post and had
started ID cross to Mrs Scott when
that lady called that Norton was Ego
Ing 20 shoot The witnesses state
that they could not estimate how long
It was after Norton had shot until the
shot rang out which was fatal TO Nor
ton, but the time was short. Scott had
evidently hurried into the house when
the shooting first started Norton had
moved considerable distance into the
field before Scott fired the fatal shot
When the rifle rang out, Norton fell
over On his face and never spoke or
moved. The bullet entered the left
side OF his neck, seyering the jugular
VEIN and passed clean through the
neck, coming out on the other side. A
heavy Springfield rifle carrying a As
bullet sent the fatal missile. The gun
is Of sufficient calibre 10 kin man a
distance Of two miles. 1t Is estimated.

The story Of Ad Mcguire and J. p
4 Horigan does not differ materially
from that Of Mr. Smith The party
was on its way to Apache, it was stat

Analysis of their racial constitu- ti"ns will show that the disparity of military force between Austria Hun gary and Scrvia is hy no means as great IFS the tables of population indi- cate.
 If each of the antagonistic nations depended upon its own natural popu- lation. and if that population were homogeneous in each case. the dis parity would obtain, but these condi- tions do not exist. Any contest be- tween the two countries will be be- tween races rather than geographical or political entities. It will be be- tween Slav and Austro- Hungarian. and examination shows that the par ties to it will be not so unevenly matched as most people think.
 There are more Slavs in Austria Hungary than In Servia. There are fully 100000 Slavs (Croats) in Hungary itself In the Austro- Hungarian em- pirc there are not less than 5000. 900 Serbo- Croats, distributed in the va rious provinces of Dalmatia, Istria. Bosnia, Herzegovina. Hungary and Croatia -Slavonia. Servia has proba- ply less than 3OOO.OoO Slavs in her population. Bulgaria has about A. 500 900 SlaVs. Besides, there are about 100000 in European Turkey and 100000 in Montenegro. The grand total of southern Slavs amounts tc about 16,OO0,0O0. or fully one-half ot

 These southern SlaVs- the Slovenes Greats. Serbs and Bulgrrs-are not the only ones to be considered in a possible war with Austria Hungary. There are three times as many north crn Slavs-Russians. Ruthcnes. Poles Czechs and Slovaks-who are ready Cl join them and fight for the Pan Slay nation that farseeing statesmen con template.
 And the Slavs have not only num- hcrs. but a patriotism fully as grea; as that displayed by the Japanese ;n their recent war with Russia and Gar more than inc Russians displayed in that war for then the Russians netth- CT knew nor cared for what they were fighting In q war for a Pan Slav re- public the Russians and their Slavon- ian kin would fight with the sam" valor that has been displayed by the allied Balkan troops in the present war with Turkey. The mass of the Russian soldiers had -na-heaFt-iIt-tlie'f war with Japan. The Slavs in war with Austria Hungary or a nation pf any non Slav race would battle heart and soul for their cause.
 Austria Hungary, even with tho Slovenian population eliminated, ;s not q homogeneous nation. The Aus trians proper and the ITungarlans ara as dissmilar as the Austrians and the Slavs. The patriotism of the na- tion is divided between the two elo- ments. each jealous of the other.
 Scrvia has reserve of men to draw upon that is not fully appreciated by the world at large. Austria-I Hungary is playing with fire when it undertakes to bully the supposedly weaker ma tion.--Ex.

GOVERNORS REPORT.

The report of Governor Clark to the secretary of the interior for the last fiscal year has just come 10 hand.
 It states that the increase in white population between the census years 1900 and 1910 was 5,S54 or 10 per cent It also states that the total pOpula tion of the territory, both white na- tive and mixed. in 1910, was 64,356.
 It says there was a considerable de- crease in the population of 1912 from 1911, but he does not give any figures to prove this. The governor declares umnies which have been spread broad cast and which have kept capital out. He also says that the main problems confronting Alaska cannot be solved by a local legislature and can be dealt with only by congress.
 According to the report the assessed valuation of eight incorporated towns amounts toss. .432.3o3. Some of them are as follows: Fairbanks. $3,000.0Oo Nome $1.757172. Juneau $s1.467.o 900 Seward ss50.000,. Skagway $670,000 Valdez 244S,OOO, Douglas $i15.OOO Wrangell $166.0O0.

one wonders if that legislature of ours is not jumping in too fast with bills of great importance.
 Not a week in session and already We have bills to create equal suf- frage and eight hour days. All these may be first class measures but haste in these rather portends nasty legsla tion in other matters. The telegraph ic adyiCes state that two different men have two different eight hour bills ready, and this rather suggests men failing over each other in the race to get their names before the public as sponsors of bills which create popu- larity. Indeed Alaska seems already to be threatened with the danger of too much legislation-the danger which cOnfronts all legislative bodies of a local kind particularly.
 It really would seem that with only sixty days ahead two men having similar bills would get their heads to- eether. Two heads,to parody an old joke, that are working against each other for the same object can only make hlocks-that is blocks to any lrgIslation at all
