TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES.
Peace Envoy Will Meet at Niagara
Falls, Canada.

Washington, May 5.-The three
South American ENJOYS who have un-
dertaken, by diplomacy, to settle
Mexico's civil strife, as well as her
national difficulties, announced to-
night that the first formal confer
ence with the different parties in
terested in mediation would be held
at Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada,
May IS.
Secretary Bryan made the an
nouncement for the three diplomats
in a brief statement, which read as
follows:
Secretary Bryan announced to-
night that the three South American
mediators in the Mexican difficulty
would meet at Niagara Falls, Cana
da, May IS, TO receive representatives
of the parties in the controversy.
Mr.. Bryan said: THE mediators
have notified the different parties
that Niagara Falls, Canada, is the
place where the mediators will con-
fer with representatives of the diff
>ferent parties interested in the med
iation, and that the 18th of May has
been fixed as the date for the con-
ference to begin
The language of the declaration
attracted attention, for, although the
envoys had in a note earlier said they
would withdraw their invitation for
Carranza representative unless an
armistice between the Rebels and
the Huerta forces was arranged, no
specific parties to the negotiation
were named in the State department
announcement.
It later was learned that the rea-
son for this was due to the fact that
further effort was being made to
induce Gen. Carranza to send re-
preventative without seeking to limit
his agent to discussion of any parti-
cular subjects.
The American government has not
chosen it's representatives. President
Wilson and Secretaries Bryan and
Lane discussed many names to-day.
They are seeking to get men of train
ing in diplomatic affairs.

 B. B. OFFERING
SOrrells and Mullin Likely to Be the Opposing Twirlers, and Good
 Game Is in Prospect.

The Claude Cleggs and Bedells will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock on the new Athletic field. The game promises to be a good one, as the Cleggs lead in the standing of the City league and the Bedells occupy second place.
 The Cleggs have won the last four games played and the drug boys are going to make an effort to pu, stop to their winning streak this after noon. Sorrells for the Bedells, who pitched the last game between his team and the Electrics, will probably be the twirling artists for the drug boys, while Mullin will be sent in by the C!eggs.
 The fact that today is ladies day a large crowd of the fair sex will no doubt witness the game. The contest promises to be a heated one and ti would be well for a large crowd of fans to greet the boys who have been playing Al ball all season.

One Thousand Acres on F. < N.
 Planted in Luscious Melon.

Prescott, June 23-Advices receiv-, ed from points along the Prescott ard Northwestern railroad are to the effect that more han 1000 acres have been planted in cantaloupes this sea- sol. and that with sufficient rainfall bumper crop is promised.
 Cantaloupe growers associations lave been formed at highland, Deal- cyville, Belton and Blevins. Truck growers at those places have made scientific study of cantaloupe raising.
 The P. & N. w. railway company Is primarily responsible for the actlv- ity of the farmers in this connec- ;ion, as that company for the past few years has expended sums in ad- vcrtising the fertility of the soil along it's lines and in placing instruc- tive literature in the hands of farm CTS.

eGlong and hard il the rough water of the lower Hudson off their spring boathouse at Edgewater, New Jersey, just above New York City, and they have learned to feather high' when occasion demands. That they also have acquired speed enough to figure somewhere in a smooth river race is shown by their first heal time trial, when they made the four mile course in 19 minutes and 37 seconds. But it i;; thought that Cornell will show peter than the Gothamites on an ideal rowing day, for Courtney's pupils nave received all their preliminary tutoring on the mirror like surface of Cayuga lake. The lthicans rule a sl ght favorite here just now, with Columbia standing right below.
 The doilgs of the next three days are expected ot have little effect on the opinions in which the clows are held, for the real work is over now in practically all of tine camps, and 6 final period of rest is ahead, with just enough toll mapped out to keep the men from getting rusty or from losing the feel of the water Some sort of disaster in the shape of sick ness or accident is about the olly thing that can change this situation.
