When the ice breaks up soon after the middle of May. they are to con- tinue their work by boat. charting and sounding as many as possible of the more promising channels to de- termine how large vessel can de- scend the river to the sea. While this work will not be. in certain re- spects. as interesting as that which we had planned to do tn Victoria island and around Coronation gulf, it will probably be of greater commer- cial importance and of more imme- diate utility.
 Exploring the Basin.
 The main purpose of our expedition was to be the exploration of the re- zion lying west of Banks and Prince Patrick islands. A glance at the map will show that from the winter quarters of our two schooners we are in position to explore a certain part Of this area by sled over the ice in winter. No ship has ever been over fifty miles off shore, 50 far az know, in the vicinity of longitude 146. We expect. accordingly. to make a sled journey north from Barter island fin February or March. going as far north as possible.
 Even should we meet rough ice we ought to be able to penetrate to a point ut least 100 miles from shore or fifty miles into the region at present unexplOred. Should we meet com- paratively smooth ice. we could. with good luck, make two or three hun dred miles. Even should no land be discovered. such a journey would be of geographical importance. for we should take soundings to determine the edge of the continental shelf and the character of the ocean bottom.
 Plans of the Party.
 Under certain circumstances, I may decide to so by sled this winter to Banks island or Prince Patrick isl- and. leaving the vessels to attempt following in the summer. Such a jo urney would be made for the pur- pss SC of the geological and archae- k gical study of these islands in the summer while the snow Is away, as

ARMYS PLANS HALTED
BY A. B. c. MEDIATION
Had Expected to Occupy High and
Healthful Plateau Outside
of Vera Cruz.

According to a high ranking army Of
ficer, whose name is withheld for OBJ
vious reasons, the plans of the War De-
partment for military movements in Mex
leo were seriously interfered with by
the agreement for cessation Of hosttli-
tiles pending the conclusion OF the A. B.
c. mediation negotiations.
The original plans provided in sub
stance, in case an invasion OF MEXICO
became necessary. that the army should
not stop in Vera Cruz, which was re-
garded as pest hole. but after sefzing
that port, should proceed about hfty
miles inland to a plateau about 3,OUo
feet above sea level, where camp could
be established under ideal climatic and
sanitary conditions and communication
retained with a base at the coast and
with warships in the harbor.
Bottled Up in Port.
The marines and sailors. it Is declared,
were landed at Vera Cruz with that. in
tention, but the A. B. C. mediation plan
and the subsequent armistice changed the
situation of things so abruptly that the
army was left bottled up in Vera Cruz
and not allowed to advance beyond a
few miles outside the city when, it is
declared. the men might have gained the
plateau and saved the San Francisco
bridge on the Interoceanic railroad.
There will be no effort, according
to present plans of the army, to repair
that bridge. Its destruction, it is said.
was expected, and the army officers be-
lieve also that other bridges along the
route to Mexico City have been mined
and probably will be blown up. If an
advance becomes necessary the army
will throw across pontoons wherever
possible.
Expect Mediation to Fail.
officers in a position to know are al
most certain that mediation will fail

1t is understood that the army Is now

that Carranza cannot control Mexico.

Of PROMISE TO QUIT

MEXICO CITY. May 2--Prov1sional
President Huerta IN The course Of an in
terview yesterday. said
The Mexican peace delegates have no
Instructions to offer my resignation at

The president spoke with energy. stand
ing erect, and emphasized his words with
a characteristic gesture.

from the Brazilian ambassador relative
TO the conference. Americans here are
being kept informed OF events by the min
lister.
Error in Sending Dispatch.
NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, May 21.-Much
interest is displayed here in an explana.
ton circulated today respecting an erro-
saying that Huerta admitted he would
retire. As received the dispatch read:
"Huerta gave. out a statement saying
he authorised peace delegates to offer
resignation, II necessary to arrange
peace"
Correspondents of the Associated Press
IN Mexico were Immediately cabled to
send Huerta's verbatim statement, which
order disclosed, after several hours, that
the word denying" had been received
saying" and that the sense of the dis
patch had been reversed by this error
AS filed, the dispatch was a denial by
Huerta that he had authorized his dele
gates to agree to his retirement from the
presidency.

The Police Jury Has
Done 1t.

The Police Jury at a recent sss-
sion passed q resolution for
bidding the Sheriff to pay the ju-
rors who are summoned to court,
cash, as has bean the custom for
many years. The jurors, like
others, will have to pay out their
cash to come here and give their
time and cash, and wait to the end
Of the year to be paid for their
services.
The following letter of Sheriff
W ade D. Martin to the jurors will
explain itself:
st. Martinville, La, Feb. 9, 1914
Dear Sir:
l am writing you this note to in-
form you that l will not be able to
pay you cash for your Petit Jury
warrant as l have always done in
the past. The Police Jury passed
resolution at its last meeting
prohibiting me from paying such
warrants as usual.
Being interested in seeing jus.
tice done 10 the Jurors, l argued
with them that a man who works
the roads does so because bio wants
to. 1t is optional with him. Of
course, after be has done the worn
be should be paid; but he accepts
the Job of his own free will and
with the knowledge that he will
receive warrant in payment and
delay in collecting is unavoidable
On the other hand. whom a man
receives a Petit or Grand Jury no.
tice be must report for duty whe-
Their be wants to or not; it 10 moi
optional anymore. The notice says
'FAIL NOT:AT YOUR PERIL"
And if you fail to come the Court
will arrest, Jail or fine you; conss'
qnently. l argued that if a mar
MUST COME the Parish MUST PAY
him CASH.
l am letting you know thii
ahead of time 80 that you may
provide yourself with a little mo.
ney to defray your expenses while
here.
1 am sorry that it has come to
this, but, as you know, l am moi
10 blame as l have always done
everything in my power to aid and
assist my constituency.
With best regards, I am,
Very truly yours,
