Made the Journey Quite Cheerful.

Mr.. Justice Maule once went on cir
cult with Judge Coleridge in part of
England where the high sheriff was a
shy and modest man and very much
alarmed at having to entertain his Gym
zeal lordship. Coming home in his
coach with the two judges he thought
it his duty to make conversation for
them. He observed that he hoped
there would be better weather, as the
moon had changed.
"And are you such fool, Mr.. Jones,
as to imagine that the moon has any
effect on the weather." said Maule.
REALLY, Brother Maule," said Cole
ridge, who was politeness itself, you
are very hard upon our friend. For
my part, l think the moon has consid-
cradle effect upon it,
"Then," said Maule, you are as
great fool as Jones is After which,
conversation in the sheriff's carriage
languished.

til the question of the transfer OF
funds at the customs house there can
be settled. Secretary Garrison also
has decided to remit the fines amount
ing to 100000 imposed on the Ypir-
anga, Bavarian and DANA for alleged
irregularities in their clearance pa
pers.
Although negOtiat ions with Carranza
have come to the point Of asking him to
name some one to whom the customs
house may be turned over. the fact that
wires leading to Mexico City have been
cut is expected to cause delay in reach
ing satisfactory understanding.
OFFICIALS of the United States. how
ever, have taken into consider
alton, the possibility of Villa OBJ
jecting to this government constituting
the Carranza authority as the CEN
trail government in Mexico" and it is
believed the large amount collected by
American officers in the way of GUS
toms will not be turned over to any
faction in Mexico, but will be held
until there is a firmly established gov
eminent
1t is further pointed out that as
Villas principal objection to the gov
eminent at Mexico City is that Car
rama is its executive. some basis for
i, compromise may be found in the
fact that Carranza will retire soon in
favor of a provisional president agree
able to all.
AS President Wilson is maintaining
a position of neutrality as between the
two factions, he is endeavOring to I'M
press on consular agents the impor-
lance of refraining from involving the
United States on the side of either
Carranza or Villa. Whatever the
consuls do will be in the line of aiding
the two chiefs or their representatives
to come to some understanding.

statement which he gave out last

for a conference of constitutionalist

way lines north Of Aguas Calientes,
General Carranza says this is not a

he says. is on the head of Villa.
Nearby garrisons are assembling for

train will leave Mexico City for Vera

gers booked on steamers to sail for
