Few Signs of Progress Toward Pacifcation-
Sir Lionel Garden Advises British to Leave
Mexico-New Rumors of the Villa Carranza
Break

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 29.-Medi
alton tonight is in a most complex
state. Its principals are undecided
whether formally to adjourn or to re-
cess and renew their efforts through
the American government toward
bringing the Constitutionalists and
Fuerta delegates into conference for
the solution of Mexicos internal
problems.
While the signing of the series of
protocols covering various phases of
the international situation has brought
forth confident expressions from some
quarters here that mediation has been
a success, skepticism has arisen
among others vitality connected with
the proceedings as to whether any
thing of value actually has been ac
complished. That war has been
averted Is generally admitted, but on
the actual pacification of Mexico, few
here see any visible signs of progress.
The protocol already signed set forth
In effect the conditions under which
the United States will recognize a new
government in Mexico. Everything,
however, is conditioned on the estab-
lishment of a provisional government
which must be the result of an agree
tons. Some of the mediators doubt
if these ever will be brought to-
gether.

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
SITUATION DUBIOUS

Vienna, June 29.-Since the occur
renee of yesterdays tragedy at Saray
evo the opinion has gained ground in
authoritative circles here that the fu-
| ture of Austria Hungary, now more
THAN ever depends upon the health Of
1.-THE venerable Emperor Francis Jo-
lseph.
II 1t was pointed opt in high political
,ircles that If the Emperor be per-
United to reign only few years more
everything may continue as usual and
llrchduke Francis Ferdinand's death
have little effect upon the foreign or
domestic affairs of the dual monarchy.
1t was argued that should a youth
al and inexperienced ruler like the
) A nchduke Charles Francis Joseph, son
Of the late -Archduke Otto. suddenly be
called upon to take the reins of gov
eminent period of anxiety might
supervene.
The. young archduke, now the heir
apparent to the throne, and his wife,
who was Princess Tito of Parma, are
both extremely popular among all
classes of society and everybody from
the Emperor down is said to be pre-
pared to do his utmost to help them
In every way to rise to the response
BILE position so suddenly thrust upon
them.
The suggestion put forward in some
quarters that Archduke Francis Fer
dinand's death is likely to cause
political upheaval Is said to have lit
tie real foundation, as the old Emper-
or has kept the reins Of government
in his own hands, delegating as little
power as possible to his late nephew
and heir.
AS far as the new heir presumptive
is concerned his political opinions may
almost be said to be non-existent In
foreign policy 1t is said to be quite
certain that the Archduke Charles
Francis Joseph will prove a strong
supporter Of Germany and Of the
Triple Alliance.
1t is generally thought that If the
young archudke be given a fair chance
he is likely to prove second Emperor
Francis Joseph and under his future
rule affairs in Austria and Hungary
! both foreign and domestic. will pursue
the same course as during the present
reign. The new heir apparent Is known
to be q devout Catholic but, like the
old Emperor he does not make his re-
iigien an affair OF politics.
Archduke Charles Francis Joseph,
although he has no experience in state
craft, possesses the happy faculty of
getting on well with everybody.

London, June 29.-The tragedy that

The assassin of the archduke and

A section of more than SO feet of the

Government officials expressed the belief
that the crest of the flood had passed
tonight. At St Paul, IL miles below the
dam, the river rose nearly a foot as
result of the break. The fact that much
of the flood water backed into the Mime

greater rush of water and perhaps ex-
tensive damage.
Preparations for strengthening the re-
