Washington, May 23r-uTentative sug-
gestions for the report OF the inter-
state commerce commission to the
senate on its investigation of the fl
nancial affairs of the New Haven
railway are beginning to take form.
Officials of the commission incline
to the belief that money improperly
diverted from the New Haven treas
ury to those interested in promoting
transactions by which the road is
alleged to have been mulcted of large
sums, might be recovered through pri-
vate suits against those who profited.
Joseph w. Folk, chief counsel for
the commission, and his assistants
did little active work today beyond
making review Of the developments
of the past week. An inquiry has
been started into the physical condi-
tion of William Rockefeller, to deter
mine whether his testimony can be
taken without jeopardy to his health.

REPORTED, WILL SEND MAN
\ TO SPEAK FOR THEM

Niagara Falls, Ontario, May 23.-
Announcement was made shortly after
noon today that the first full confer
ence between the mediators and both
the American and Mexican delegates
would be held tonight.
1t was arranged at the request OF
the Mexican delegates, who met the
mediators informally this morning, af-
ter which the South American media
tors sent for the American delegates
to consult them about the matter.
1t is Understood that the ENJOYS
felt confident of being able to remove
such obstacles as had delayed pro
ceedings during the consideration OF
preliminary measures. Delegates rep
resenting both sides of the controversy
between the United States and Gen.
eral Huerta will go into the first bus
mess session hoping an amicable ad-
iustment Of all their differences will
be the outcome.
The sudden calling of full session
for tonight was not expected by the
American delegates. They had made
no plans for meeting today The
ENJOYS of South America had one talk
with the Mexican delegates and II
was generally thought nothing more
would occur today Shortly afterwaro
the Mexican delegates requested an
other audience with the mediators
and as the result of this second talk
the announcement was made that pre-
llminaries had been sufficiently
smoothed out to justify formal ses-
sions of all the principals to the me-
diation.

At the war department it was an
nounced that telegraphic communi-
cation between Brownsville and Tam
pico had been re-established and that
the railroad >between Eagle Pass and
Monclova had been reopened.
1t was said the conferences at the
White House and state department
had to do with the question of send
ing constitutionalist report to Ma
CARA Falls, but Secretary Bryan refus-
ed to make any statement.
The understanding here was that
inasmuch as the mediators took up a
discussion Of the internal affairs Of
Mexico. the American commissioners
were prepared to suggest that this
question could not well be discussed
without the presence Of a constitu-
tionalist representative.

PRINcg LOUIS OF nATrENRERe

= PhINCE LUIS Or BA ENBEhN
London May 2S.-Prince Louis Of
Battenberg, who is1the senior naval
lord of the British admiralty, is re-
ceiving many congratulations in ad-
vance of his sixtieth birthday anniver-
sary, which comes tomorrow. The
criticism that followed the recent an
nouncement of the appointment of
Prince Alexander of Teck at governor
general of Canada calls to mind the
fact that Prince Louis of Battenberg
had to contend with much of the same
sort during his earlier career in the
British navy. The poular objection TO
the Battenbergs as well as the Tecks
is not based on the fact that they are
connected with the royal family, but
that they are of German origin.
In the case of Prince Louis OF Bat
tenberg the objections on these
grounds have. much firmer founda-
ton than in the case of the Tecks.
Though ever yinch loyal Britisher,
Prince Louis is nevertheless native
of Germany, the son of a German
prince, the bearer of German name
and title, and the brother-in-law of
both Prince Henry of Prussia and the
German czar
