\ number of suffragists, members
of the various political parties, have
made an arrangement which, if it can
be successfully carried out, will insure
a majority for womens suffrage in
the next parliament.
They have concentrated in the hope
of arranging the organization of suf-
fragist electors in the constituencies
before the general election. The idea
is that these electors should put "suf-
frage first" in other words. that they
should inform the candidates that
their votes will be given in the inter
ct of womens suffrage. Lord Lyt-
ton and Pethick Lawrence are both
in favor of the plan.
While the Duke of Westminster and
his influential committee OF titled and
distinguished men have been raising
something less than $4,000 for their
haIf-milIion fund to train British ath-
letes for the next Olympic games at
Berlin, the trade unionists of the
country have, without any great eff
fort, raised over a quarter of million
dollars for the wives and children of
the Dublin strikers, besides sending ,
them several ship loads of provisions
and coal At the same time another
big fund has been raised for the
widows and orphans OF the recent |
Welsh colliery disaster. 1t all goes |
to show that while the British peo- |
pie are still willing to subscribe TO
funds raised for practical and char |
liable purposes, such matters as the |
Olympic games will not induce them !
to part with their money, even wheel |
the plan is backed by dukes and other !
members OF the nobility.
The raising Of the Dublin and Welsh
funds, however. is taken as another
of the growing wealth and
close cooperation OF the trades union
sts of the country. Much of the
money has come from the workers and
heir organizations, which had only

Powers Support Encouraging.

Washington, Nov 14.-United sup
port from the great powers abroad for
the American policy toward Mexico,
shown in a variety of quiet diplomatic
activities, gave President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan a confident feeling
that the elimination of General Vic
toriano Huerta as provisional presi-
dent of Mexico soon would be an &C.
complished fact.
That the financial blockade institut-
ed by the United States had effectively
tied the purse strings of Europe, that
diplomatic pressure was being eXerted
necessarily on all sides at Mexico City,
that close friends of Huerta were ap-
plying their influence. and persistent
reports saying Huerta had gone into
mysterious seclusion raised the hopes
of the Washington government that at
last it was making definite progress
toward solving the Mexican problem
An exchange of cablegrams with Am
bassador Page, an agreement by Great
Britain to leave the solution of the
Mexican problem in the hands of the
United States, and an announcement
that no moral or financial support
would be granted by England to the
Huerta regime, set forth in LondoI
press dispatches, created a favorable
impression throughout official Wash
ington. 1t was felt that Great Brit
ain, France. Germany and other ma
, lions now stood together in acquies
cense to the plan of the United State
for the elimination of Huerta.

STEAMERS MAY
have COLLIOED
LIFE PREsERvER FROM CHARLES
s. PRICE FOUND ON BODY OF
REeINAioFFIcER.

Port Huron, Mich, New. 14.-Does
another vesser lie benz path the wreck
of the overturned vessel in Lake Hur-
on, thirteen miles from here?
That such is the case is the belief
of Milton Smith, assistant engineer of
the Inflated steamer Charles S. Price.
Mr.. Smith had a premonition of the
approaching danger, and left his ship
at Cleveland, the day. before it rode
into the teeth of Lake Hurons gale
and founded with all hands on board.
Mr.. Smith returned to Port Huron
last night from Thedford, Ont, where
he went to help establish identity OF
the men whose bodies were in the
morgue there.
The first body he identified was that
of John Groundwater, chief engineer
of the Price, whose home was in
Cleveland.
Are you sure?" asked the coroner.
Positive" Smith replied.
well, this man had one of the Re
ginas life preservers wrapped about
his body" said the coroner.
Smith was dumbfounded How the
chief engineer of the steamer Price
happened to be found in one of the life
preservers of the Regina was more
than he could fathom. Then the
thought occurred to Smith that thu
Regina and Price may have collidet
and in the attendant excitement sail
ors of each vessel grabbed the lif'
preservers that happened to be neal
: est.
His theory is further strengthened
ty the fact that the bodies of the me-
!. who went down on the Regina and tn
Price we're found in precisely tn
same position on the shore, some c
them even clasped in each other
!. arms. This practically substantiate
. the belief that the overturned vesst
; on Lake Huron is either the Regin
or the Price. 1t also is thought tn
vessels collided with such force tha
one of them either is piled on top {
the other or that one has sunk con
!, pletely.
That the accident occurred with tie
, rible suddenness is established
