WILL SIGN PEACE
PROTOCOL IN WEEK
Prediction Inspired by Progress
of MediatOrs in Solving
Mexican Problem.
MAIN ISSUES WORKED OUT
Internal Questions Chief among
Points Yet to Be Taken Up
at Niagara Falls-Broad
Treatment.
MAIN ISSUES WORKED OUT

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 27.-Dlsposi-
ton of the Mexican problem by medi-
| alton had so far progressed at the end
of to-days conferences that it was pre-
dicted by those close in touch with the
deliberations that a protocol would be
signed within a week.
The main issues are understood TO have
been satisfactorily worked out in prin-
ciple and now only remains to be de-
termncd whether certain issues of COM
paratively minor Importance shall be in
cluded in the scope of the negotiations
Issues of this nature We're understood
to have been the subject of a conference
held to-day in Toronto between the me-
diators and the American delegates be-
fore attending the garden party given
to the Duke and Duchess of Connaught
and the mediation colony. En- route to-
night from Toronto back to Niagara
Fails the mediators communicated the
views of the Americans to the Mexican
delegates in informal discussions aboard
the specia. car provided for the trip
The points yet to he taken up, it is
understood relate chiefly to internal
problems, and 1t is known to be the dis
position of the medators, if it is decided
to seek an agreement upon them at all,
to treat them only in the broadest man
ner and in the form of recommendations
for the guidance of the new provisional
government which It is hoped to estab-
ish In Mexico.
TO AVOID LOCAL MATTERS
The attitude of the Mexican represen-
tatives is that these internal problems,
while by no means unimportant to Mexico
itself, should not he entered into by
this tribunal, inasmuch as the discus
sion of one would lead to another and
so on. Thus almost interminable delay
would result before common under
standing could be reached.
In this connection the Mexican delegates
brought up as an illustration the COVER
norshps of the Mexican States, and the
Problem of the relation of the State gov
ernments to the provisional federal gov
ernment when 1t shall have been estab-
lished. They pointed out that to attempt
to formulate a plan dealing with prov-
sional control of State governments or in
anyway defining their relations with fed
eral organization would involve the media
tors to the point Of tedium in the solution
OF local problems peculiar to each State.
The Mexican envoys held that these prob
lens can be best worked out by their own
people after the temporary central gov
ernment has been established. With this
point In view, the mediators are under
stood to be in accord and It was intimated
to-day that it was their desire also to
exclude as closely as consistent from their
general plan all details that might he
more practically wored out by the Mexi-
can people
