the Difficulties in Connection With

Washington, Aug. 16.-Substantia
progress has been achieved by John
Lind in discharging his delicate mis-
sion to MeXico's administration Off
cials. They feel the American exn-
bassy's adviser at least has made "a
breach in the wall which theoretical

consideration by the MeXicans, a fact
regarded as a promise for ultimate
success of the negotiations. The
state department expects the next
step not to be taken before Monday.
Senator Lodge had long talk
with Secretary Bryan today about
Mexican affairs. In view of his for
NAL declaration in the senate of his
purpose to stand squarely behind
the president providing the Mexican
difficulty was kept out of politics,
this is believed to foreshadow a bet

them. A majority of the committee is
opposed to the creation of any new
counties whatever, and if the house re-
fuses to instruct, the fate of all the
