the future. should he be the peoples
choice. He discussed the important
legislation pending in congress. and
the worn before the important COM
mittees to which he was appointed.
The crowd was very responsive and
enthusiastic, frequently interrupting
the speaker with cheers and words OF
encouragement. Not once during the

and was composed of the most rep
resentative citizens OF the East End.

Niagara Falls Ont, June 1.-THE
Uaited States government was forced
today not only 10 display its hand
in the Mexican situation, but also to
surrender promptly to the demands
of the nediators. For about one
hour his afternoon ii was agreed on
all sides that the conference was at
an end The mediators. tired of wait
ing and exasperated by the long de-
lay. decided to play their last card
and to publish i'll full ali the CORES
pondence exchanged between them
and Carranza, the constituticnalist
| leader. This was done despite the
earnest protest presented by the
American delegates on behalf of the
state department.
One hour later Justice Lamar and
Frederick W. Lehman. the Ameri-
/ can delegates, appeared at the Cliff
ton House, and a fall conference OF
all Mexican and American delegates.
and the South American ENJOYS was
held. Justice Lamar and Mr.. Len-
mann announced that the United
States was willing to subscribe to tine
first plan for the settlement of the
| Mexican dispute. submitted by the
mediators more than two weeks ago,
1t was agreed on all sides here to-
night that this Is a complete back
ministration. and that II was decided
upon following the report sent out
from here late this afternoon that the
conference was about to be closed.
The plan which the United States
government now is willing to accept
Is the one which it has most bitterly
opposed. 1t provides for the selection
of provisional president to take the
place Of General Huerta pending the
holding of constitutional election in
Mexico. The selection of this new
provisional president Is. however to
be sanctioned by General Huerta. The
manner in which the transfer of gov
eminent Is to take place, and the
exact form of succession have not vet
Jsbeeh decided upon The mediators
have In this manner completely won
the friendly fight Ia which they have
been engaged with the American dele
gates The decision arrived at is an
absolute vindication of their conten-
ton that Carranza Is entitled TO no
special privilege in the settlement OF
the internal affairs of Mexico.

Neutrality and the Wireless.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE new point
in international law raised in the
report that German-owned wireless
telegraph stations in the United
States have been sending informa-
tion and orders to German ships at
sea. has been settled by the prompt
action of the president in laying
down a new principle in the duties
of neutrals. The rule seems to have
been understood hitherto as prohib-
Iiting the use of wireless on neutral
territory by one of the belllgerents,
hut it has not been extended to the
operations of private companies,
which have stood on the same foot
ing as cable companies and land tel
egraph lines. But no such situation
as this has ever before arisen. Pres
5dent wilson's proclamation of neu-
trality commands that mo person
within the territory and jurisdiction
bf the United States shall take part
sirectly or indirectly, in the said
wars" That seems to cover the
huestion and he has put the matter
bevond the range of doubt by his or
Her. and has made precedent whicn
will presumably govern the use OF
wireless in future wars.
