Washington.-Two hours Of confer
ence Saturday night between President
Wilson. Secretary Bryan and the Sen
ate foreign relations committee
brought about no change in the atti-
tude OF the administration toward
Mexico, but upon John Lind's report
will depend future action.
The president took tho senators in
to his confidence far enough to out.
line the following:
That John Lind. his special envoy to
Mexico City. does not bear any solu-
ton of the present situation. but goes
to continue this governments efforts
to induce Provisional President
Huerta to redeem his promises for
free and constitutional elections.
That under no circumstances does
the administration propose to recog-
nize the Huerta government.
That Mr.. Lind has gone to Mexico
City to be the .'eyes and ears" OF the
Washington administration on the
ground, and to explain the attitude Of
this government when he has fully
familiarized himself with the situa-
ton.
That by Withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr.. Lind the presi-
dent planned to have man on the
ground who was in sympathy with
the administration here. and was In
NO sense factor in the situation in
Mexico City.
These policies and suggestions Of
the president and Secretary Bryan
came out in general discussion. 1t
was made clear that the purpose OF
the conference was to establish more
frank and intimate relations between
the Senate and the administration In
the development OF the Mexican
policy and IN the furtherance of this
idea the president talked freely and
answered many pointed questions.
While the president disclosed no
definite plan for the pacification of
Mexico, the Implication remained that
upon Lind's reports would depend to
large extent the future policy Of this.
country.
There was practically no talk OF
lifting the embargo on the importa-
tion Of arms into Mexico. which some
members of the committee believe
would put speedy end to the diff.
culties. ~
The meeting was entirely friendly.
The president did most Of the talking
and Secretary Bryan and members Of
the committee added word here and

Washington.-A loss of 100000
900 bushelS OF grain. the nations
greatest farm crop. has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July /,
the governments agricultural experts
estimated in their August report. A
total production Of 2.672.OO0.000 bush
els of corn was predicted. This is
452 100000 bushels less than last
years cop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1853 per cent OF normal.
compared with 500 on July l. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there having been reduced from 81
per cent In July to 80 per cent August
/. Oklahoma came next with con-
dition of A against 81 in July, and
Nebraska reported 67 against 81 July
1. These three states have almost 19
per cent Of the total area planted to
corn this year.
A bright spot In the monthly grain
report were the preliminary statistics
showing a production of 511.00O.000
bushels OF winter wheat. This Is the
greatest harvest of wheat ever
gathered in the United States, ex-
ceeding the record crop of 1902 by 10,-
O0O, 900 bushels. The figures exceeded
by 2s,00O.OOO the estimate made by
the department In July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an In
creased estimate Of production, 1t be-
ing 100000 bushels more than the
July estimate, the total being placed
at 233,0O0.O0O bushels. With the
bumper winter wheat crop and fair
ly good spring wheat production, the
total harvest OF all wheat Is esti-
mated at 744.0OO,00O bushels. A crop
this size would place the years pro-
duction second only to the record crop
of 1901. when 74s.000.000 bushels were
produced.
The harvest of white potatoes. 1t is
estimated. will be smaller by $4,000
600 bushels than tine crop of 1912. A
total of 33s.OOO.000 bushels Is esti'
mated.
