 Attack on Harvester Company.
 In this situation Senator Reed to- day took the floor. For several hours he held the senate with an attack on the Harvester company. MT. Joness connection with that concern was the principal basis for the opposition to his confirmation. Senator Reed began with a review of President Wilson's position against monopoly, as express ed in the presidents writings, his ex- pressions as to the personal guilt # officials of offending corporations, and democratic platform declarations on the same subject. Through the his- tory of the Harvester company from it's organization in 1902 the senator swept with a whirlwind of invectsve and sarcasm, reciting from arguments in the government suit against the concern and the records of congress sional investigation
 Rumor Reached Capitol. While Senator Reed was speaking a rumor reached the capitol that the | president had already determined to {, withdraw the Jones nomination, and a ' short time later Secretary Tumulty | and Assistant Secretary Latta reached the capitol MT. Tumulty went direct l 1y to the presidents room off the seu- ] ate lobby and sent a messenger for | Senators Hollis and Pomerene Wno | with Senators Lee of Maryland and Shafroth, have been most active in urging the confirmation of Mir. Jones. l In executive session few minutes | later the formal announcement of the | withdrawal was received without com- ment. When the senate adjourned however, there was a democratic | love feast in the cloak room Senator Hitchcock. speaking of the ef . feet of the messages said.s
 A Good Thing for Democracy.
 T am sure it is a good thing for the democracy"
 The report of the minority democrats q on the banking and currency e0n1rnft- tee, filed by Senator Pomerene, held ternatonaI Harvester con1panv had been committed before 3Ir. Jones be- came a director and there was nothing in the record of any of the directors meetineg attended by Mr. Jones to show a violation of any law state ar federal, unless it be the mere fact that the corporation continued to exist and do business.
 The minority also took exception 1o the report of the majority condemnine the New Jersey Zinc company. with

PRoTRAcTED MEETING
 ON HOME RULE QUESTION:
Prediction That Conference Would
 Collapse Proved Untrue.

London. July 23.-The outstanding fact in the Irish situation tonight is that the home rule conference Is still in being, the predictions of the whole Liberal and unionist press of yester- day that the conference was on the eve of collapse having proved false.
 After protracted meeting today the conference adjourned until to- morrow. Meetings and discussions of the various party leaders proceeded in the Hobbies of parliament tonight with unabated activity and moderate men, lake Lord Courtney. are working indefatigably in the direction of a compromise. Hopes and fears fiuctuate from hour to hour.
 One favorable sign is found in the fact that further consideration in the house of commons of the amending bill which was postponed until Mon day on account of the conference, has been still further postponed. This iustifies the belief that the confer ence will extend into next week.
 Another hopeful indication was a meeting of the Unionist leaders which was attended by the Marquis of Lans- down, the Earl of Selbcrne. the Mar quis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hals- bury, Earl Curzon of Kedleston and the Duke of Devonshire. Such a gather ing of Unionist peers would hardly be assembled unless some weighty mn tier was to be discussed.
 The Liberals from Premier Asquith down are working tooth and nail to find solution of the Ulster problem which will meet the views of Ulstertes and Nationalists. Should the con- ference fail. they hope to reach the goal by other means. Their most per- suasive followers have been busy in the Hobbies tending to induce the Irish protagonists to reconcile their diff ferences.

Washington, July 22-Reginaldo Cepeda. senator from the state of Goa huila and intimate friend of General CarranZa. has been selected by Pro- risionaI President Carbajal to nego- tiate the transfer of the government at Mexico City to the constitutIoneI- ists
 Mir. Cepeda. who was in hiding in Mexico City during the Huerta dicta- torship left Vera Cruz today for Tam pico to meet General Carranza. He has full instructions and authority to arrange for the transfer of govern ment.
 Jose Castellot, personal representa- tive of MT. Carbajal, conveyed this information to Secretary Bryan. Messrs. Mangel. Noyelo and Urueta who, it had been supposed, would con- stitute the Carbajal commission, it was learned, merely volunteered their services in smoothing the way to an agreement and have no credentials or authority from Carbajal.
 Armistice to Be Signed.
 As soon as Dr. Cepeda is received by General Carranza, an armistice will be formally signed as the first step has indicated to the American govern ment his willingness to declare a truce during the negotiations and the Car bajal government is anxious to do Likewise.
 The Carbajal envoy has been in structed to ask for only two things complete amnesty for political of lenders, and guarantees of protection to the lives and property of the Mex ican people generally. No political share or consideration in the new ad- ministration is desired by the Carba- jail government.
 carranza Against Amnesty.
 <~ff yxr said he was disinclined to grant ara aesty. the speech today of the con- stitutionalist chief at Victoria. Mex leo. and other reliable advices show that he will declare an amnesty, though the constitutionalist govern ment will reserve the right to punish those who were directly responsible for the assassination of Madero and Suarez. Most of those implicated, however, have left Mexico City.
 Secretary Bryan expressed the high est confidence that there would be no difficulty in the way of an agreement

 Other Private Letters.
 The emotional summit of the tr.al was reached when other private let ters were handed over by Mime. Guey- dan to Fernand Labori, counsel tor Mme Caillaux. It was one of the most dramatic moments in the annals of the French courts. A deep and impressive silence fell upon the court room, which was crowded to suffocation.
 Here is the packet of letters I took at Manners" said Mime. Gueydan, giv- ing them to an attendant, who passed them to NJ. Labori.

between Cafranzal and Provisional President Carbajal. In that respect the situation is considered brighter than it has been for months, but two other factors in the prob1em-Villa and Zapata-are causing considerable anxiety.
 Sure Villa Will Cause No Trouble. ever, that he was sure Villa would not cause any trouble. Secretary Bryan made public despatches from George c. Carothers, special represen- tative of the state department with Villa, saving the fighting general would not break with Carranza; but nevertheless apprehension here was indicated by the number of inquiries about Villa which poured in at the state department for this was the day for the regular calls of diplomats Breach Between Villa and Carranza.
 Mexicans here who have been kept advised of Villas antipathy toward Carranza say the breach has been but temporarily healed. They say Villa time, but will sit quietly in northern Mexico with his men and when Car ranza reached Mexico City and con ference of generals is called, Villa will make vigorous demands for a share in the government or promotions for

 Zapata May Cause Trouble.
 As to Zapata, many disquieting re- ports are reaching Washington dip1o- mats. One of the South American ministers received a brief telegram from his consul general in Mexico City saying merely:
 The situation here looks very dark" It was presumed that this re- ferred to the uneasiness of the people as to whether the constitutionalists would enter Mexico City peacefully, or take it arbitrarily without previous agreement The Zapatistas are report ed to be decidedly active and liable to take advantage of the unsettled condition at Mexico City to force an entry there before the constitutional l ist troops arrive.

 May Summon Special Grand Jury.
 No federal grand jury is now in ses- sion in New York, and it was not re- yealed tonight whether the department will wait until the next jury meets, early in August. or summon speclai jury for this case alone. MT. Gregory, who filed the brief in the civil suit in the United States district court, con- ferred. after filing the bill, with United States District Attorney Marshall about the criminal phase Of the case MT. Gregory and F. M. Swacker, fol- mer expert of the interstate com ! merce commission, who helped invesll- gate the New Haven for the depart

 before the grand jury and present the evidence on which indictments will be asked. It is understood here that they nope to make out a pf1Ild ldCAO case without much trouble, and if their view is correct the return of indicu- ments will be a forerunner to one of the most important suits ever begun by the government under the criminal section of the Sherman act.
