AUSTRfANS BLAME SERVIA
Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand
and Consort May Result in
War.

Vienna--Open war between Austria
and Servia may come as a result of
the archduke's assassination. The
governments note to Servia, demand
ing that conspirators in Belgrade, who
are believed to have plotted the kill
ing, be ferreted out and punished, is
considered practically to lay the re-
sponsibility of Princip's crime at the
door of the Servian nation. 1t has
greatly added to the rising tide of
anti-Servian feeling here.
Viennese are especially incensed by
the endeavors of the Servia press in
Belgrade and other cities to mitigate
the condemnation of the assassin by
claiming that the killing was due to
oppression of Serbs in Bosnia and
Herzegovina by their Austrian COVER

SHOOTS INTO PASSING TRAIN
Italian Hunter Empties Shotgun at
Passengers on Observation Plat
form-Six Persons Injured.

Kansas City.-Three men and three
women were among those seated on
the observation platform of the ELI"
a fast Burlington train for Chicago,
as it passed through North Kansas
City. They flashed by four Italians
armed with shotguns, who were walk
ing along the tracks, and the woman
in the party waved their handker-
chiefs.
One of the Italians raised his gun
and discharged both barrels of each
at a distance of less than one hun
bred yards. The six persons were
struck by the scattering shot. The
train was held thirty minutes at Lib
erty, Mo-, while Dr. ]. H Rothwen
extracted the shot. All of the injured
continued their journey. Three ar
rests have been made.

ULSTER Is READY TO FIGHT
Unionist Volunteers in Uniform Pa
rade Streets of Belfast With Rifles
and Fixed Bayonets.

Belfast.-Ulster Volunteers, with
rifles and fixed bayonets, paraded the
streets here in full uniform, under in
structions from Lieut.. Gen. Sir George
Richardson, their commander-in-chief,
as notice to the authorities, it was
said, that ulster will fight
Apprehension is great that the
Unionists cannot be restrained from
carrying out the plan without forcible
measures and, as there are 10000
armed volunteers in the city, this may
result in serious trouble.
Police and regular soldiers here are
weaker numerically than the volun-
teers and would be powerless to queI
any concerted display of arms unless
aided by the Nationalist. In such
a case bloody fighting would almost
surely be precipitated at once.

Da Cana Announces Settlement
OF Conflict Between US.
and Mexico.
TASKS NOT YET COMPLETED
Peace ENJOYS Believe They Have
Averted War by Pan-American
Principie-Send Courteous
Reply to Carranza.

Niagara Falls, Ont-AmbasSador
Da Cana of Brazil formally announced
the practical settlement of the con-
f1ict between the United States and
Mexico, but added that the task of
mediation is not yet concluded.
The ambassador spoke at luncheon
given by the three mediators to news
paper correspondents. The American
and Huerta delegations to the media
ton conference were present and the
remarks of Mr.. Da Cana, after care
full revision, were made public later,
constituting a formal statement of the
work of mediation thus far
1T is a source of satisfaction for
me- said the ambassador, ito be able
to say that one of the essential points
of our program, that dealing with the
international side of the conflict, is
practically settled. This does not i'm
ply that we go home, with our task
concluded, but we feel that so far we
have averted war.
1--WE have established also, through
agreements between the parties most
directly interested and in complete
harmony with the sentiments of the
government of the United States, that
it is a principle of American policy
to have our national problems always
given fair examination and settled
without foreign interference. We un-
derstand that if such a result has
been attained, we shall have created
a more favorable atmosphere in in
ternationa1 politics in america
The speech served as a definition
for the world generally of the hither-
to unsettled status of mediation.
Justice Lamar and the mediators
had discussed the situation at length
and afterward the Huerta delegates
conferred with the mediators. Am
bassador Da Cana and Minister Naon
will depart at once.
The mediators have formally ac-
knowledged the latest note from Gen
eral Carranza, transmitted by Rafael
Zubaran, his representative in Wash
ington-
The answer expressed the apprecia-
tion of the mediators for the friendly
sentiments toward peace uttered by
Carranza and is most courteously
phrased.

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM. NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced.
fshowing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is q
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t Is said that
one Of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells In
the world of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov-
cries were made which led to the fl
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres Of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies we're
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in a couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions OF the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches 1t is no wonder that q
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful
1y completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well. and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was

go more largely into mixed farming,

READY TO GET OUT
Huerta Sends Son and Daugh-
ter to Coast, Washing
ton Hears.
ZAPATA BREAKS OUT AGAIN
Leader of Southern Rebels Declares
He Will Fight Carranza to the
End-British to Stay.

Washington, D. C.-PrIvate dis
patches received here from unofficial
sources in Mexico City stated that
President Huerta had sent his son
and daughter toward Puerto Mexico
and was making preparations for his
own departure on short notice. The
information was conveyed to the state
department.
Zapata Issues Decree.
Mexico City.-News reached Mexico
City that Emiliano Zapata, the south
ern revolutionary leader, had pub
lished a decree rejecting an allegi-
ance to Venustiano Carranza and say
ing that the Constitutionalist chief
had refused to accept the plan Of
AyaIa,'' the original agrarian procla
nation of the southern leader.
Zapata is said to have declared that
he intends to extend his operations
along the western coast of Mexico as
far as Sonora and that he will fight
Carranza forever" The Information
was brought to Mexico City by per
sons who arrived from towns under
the control of the followers of Zapata
in the state of MorelOs.
Members of the British colony here
are unwilling to follow the advice of
Sir Lionel Garden, the British minis
ter, that they temporarily leave Mex
ico. Only forty-two persons so far
have signed an agreement to travel
on a special train to the coast. More
than half of this number are women
and children.
British Will Stay.
Most of-the British subjects now
residing here have been in Mexico
many years and they declare it to be
their intention to remain and take
chances with the Mexicans.
Members of the French, German and
Italian colonies at meeting held
recently decided to stay in the cap
ital.
The banks at Aguas Calientes, San
Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Leon, Quere-
taro and other cities of the northern
states are sending funds to Mexico
City. An express company is bring
ing about 100000 pesos daily from
these places and depositing the cur
rency in the banks here.
Garden Warns British.
The City of Mexico.-In view of the
existing conditions in Mexico, Sir
Lionel Garden, the British minister,
has advised all British subjects tenn
porarily to leave the country. He said
that the shortage of fuel used in the
operation of trains was growing more
acute daily and that the trains prob
ably soon would stop running, which
would make difficult the departure of
persons in the interior.
Sir Lionel Garden said he believed
it to be his duty to urge all British
subjects to leave the capital immedi-
ately and he especially advised that
the women be removed.
To Probe Mexican Scandal
Washington, ID. C.-"Big business"
is to be placed once more on the grill
by the United States senate for the
purpose of establishing exactly the
part it has played in initiating and
supporting revolutions in Mexico. The
sensational correspondence between
New York financiers and their Wash
ington agents and General Carranza
and other constitutionalists, confirms
in great detail the exposure of some
days ago.

J. NJ Lydgate, on behalf of Kauai,
delivered a strong invitation for all
the members of the Ad Club to visit
that island, in relays of 72 until the
entire membership, their wives and
sweethearts, had seen the island and
diffused little of that popular brand

that we want you. he said "of course
there is no desire on our part to keen
the outsiders away but on these par

that we have not large floating pop
