Versailles, France, May 27.-Fran cis Ouimet, the American open cham pion, and Henry j. Topping, Green wich Country Club, Connecticut, will meet in the final round tomorrow for the French amateur golf champion ship. Both showed excellent form over the course today, Ouimet defeat ing Eric Apperly, the Australian player, and Topping, eliminating the American amateur champion, Jerome D. Travers. In the previous round Ouimet disposed of Lord Charles Hope, holder of the title.
 The Engiishman was unlucky with some of his putts against Ouimet but played most of them with q view to laying the American stymie if the ball did not find the hole. This oc- cured on the first hole and the American knocked Hopes ball in.
 Trayers was weak in his play against his American opponent. Top ping made few mistakes His ap- preaching was perfect and he led nearly all the way.

No Fear of Damage to Canal.

Washington, May 27 Experts of the Isthmian Canal Commission claim no extensive damage to the Panama canal could be caused by any earthquake. No official report of the latest seismic disturbance had reached either the commission or war department late today.
 Records studied by the canal de- signers fail to show anything more than light seismic shocks on the isth- mus as far back as it's history Is known. There are standing in the zone today masonry structures erect ed several centuries as.
 Army engineers base their belief in the safety of the canal largely on the enduring qualities of the con struction embodied in locks, dams and approaches to the canal.

Expect Early Results.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 27.-Dis position of the Mexican problem by mediation had progressed so far at the end of today's conference that those close in touch with the delib- erations predicted that a protocol would be signed within a week.
 The main issues are understood to have been satisfactorily worked out in principle. Minor issues were under stood to have been the subject of a conference held today in Toronto be- tween the mediators and the Ameri- can delegates before attending the garden party given by the Duke and Duchess of Connausht and the me diation colony. En route tonight from Toronto back to Niagara Falls the mediators communicated the Americans views to the Mexican delegates.
 Points yet to be taken up, it is un- derstood relate chiefly to internal problems, and it is known if it is de- cided to seek an agreement upon them at all the mediators desire to treat them only in the broadest man. ner. The attitude of the Mexican ministers is that these internal prob lems should not be entered into by this tribunal inasmuch as the discus sion of one would lead to another and so on.
 In this connection the Mexican delegates brought up as an illustra- tion the governorshps of Mexican states and the problems of the re!a- ton of the state governments to the provisional federal government when it shall have been establisehd. They pointed out that to attempt to formG- late a plan dealing with provisional control of state governments would involve he medators to the point Of tedium in the solution of local prolI- lems to each state.
 The Mexican envoys hold that these problems can best be worked out by their own people. It was intimated today that the mediators also desire to exclude as closely as consistent from their general plan all details that may he more practically worked out by the Mexican people.
 The mediators remain retieent as to precisely what disposal has been made of the question of the elimina- ton of Huerta, other than the in'i' nation that his dignity will be up. held. Emphasis was laid on the fact that the plans formulated by the mediators comprehended the expecta ton of bringing General Carranza to the support of the scheme for a pro visional government

NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
New Light on the Problem of Stellar Evolution and Origin of Universe.

New Light on the Problem of Stellar
 Evolution and Origin of Universe.
 Washington, May 27-Reports from London that Prof. Percival Lowell, director of the Flagstaff (Arizona) observatory, now in Lon don, has received word from Profess sor Slipher that spectograms made at Flagstaff show Virgo's nebulae rotating, were received with interest in scientific circles as possibly throwing new light on the problem of stellar evolution and the origin of the universe.
 Professor Fowle, acting director of the Smithsonian astrophysieal ob- servatory, said today of the reported discovery and it's relation to the neb- ular hypothesis on the origin of the earth:
 "Nebulae are great masses of gas appearing like gigantic pin wheels and have been looked on as worlds in the process of formation. They suggested La Places famous nebular hypothesis of the origin of the earth and the solar system. Their appear ance suggests rotation, but they are so far distant that even though rotat- ing with velocities of many miles a second. in centuries such motion to- wards adjacent stars would be map | preciable to the eye.
 "Spectograms, like speedometers of automobiles, indicate at once the speeds of bodies. but the nebulae are so faint-most of them being inyis- ible to the unaided eye-that only with the most powerful telescopes

clearance will be refused until the matter of fines is adjusted.
 The customs officials assert that so far as they know the arms ship ment on the Ypranga of the same line, which precipitated the seizure of Vera Cruz by the American forces. still were aboard when that vessel left here for Puerto Mexico two days ago. They assumed that there is no possibility that the 250 machine guns l5,000,000 rounds of ammunition and other war materials aboard the Ypranga would be landed, as the liner is under charter of the German government and was ordered to Puerto Mexico by the German minis ter to pick up German refugees.
 Rumors have been current that some of the materials for which Huerta had contracted in Germany had been Altering through to the federals by way of Puerto Mexico. The Bavaria incident is the first posi- tive information of the landing of supplies received, although there have been intimations that the army and navy has knowledge of other landings or attempted landings.
 General Funston admitted that he had no information as to what be- came of the shipment after it reached Eordoba, and it is assumed that it already is on the way to Mexico City. The barbed wire will be of immense value to small garrisons protecting federal lines of communications. Carrisons north of San Luis Potosi have been repeatedly attacked by rowing bands of constitutionalists President Huerta's defense plans as announced prior to the American landing at Vera Cruz contemplated the construction of a series of block houses along the railways in the vicinity of the smaller towns, each to be protected by barbed wire entan- elements. There is no evidence to indicate that the federals around Vera Cruz are making any elaborate preparations. Rumors have been cur rent of the building of concrete breastworks and field gun stations in she mountains along the Mexican railroad, but reports of eye witnesses tell only of field guns mounted on flat cars, and no great number of these.

Time to Take Part in Mediation.
 New York, May 27-"As long as we did not know what the conference would discuss, 1t was well to stay out of It," said Luis Cabrera, a prom inent Mexican constitutionalist, to- night in referring to the mediation congress at Niagara Falls. But when they take up the real issues, |" continued Cabrera. we feel we ought to be represented.
 MT. Cabrera arrived in New York today from Spain. He has been sug- gested as a compromise candidate for provisional president of Mexico.
 Tt must be Carranza," said Ca brera. Any other man than Car ranza will fail as head of the govern ment, even if he is a constitutionalist. Carranza is well known-and has done the work
 Tt is not a question of mere mod -esty for himself" Mir. Cabrera said. He had been working for the revolu- ton and was constitutiOnalist, but he had been given his work for aCr- ranza.
 The time is ripe for constitutional ist participation in the mediation conference, in Mir. Cabreras view He said, however, that he did not know whether General Carranza feels that he must participate.
 ''Without the constitutionalists the conference cannot come to a definite solution," he concluded.

 President Wilson, lis the mastery, the exact mastery and comprehension of government bodies of knowledge; and the comprehension is more difficult than the mastery. It is much easier
 to acquire than it is to interpret and yet all knowledge is dead which is not interpreted The vision of the scholar is worth more to the world
 than his industry.
 ''It is knowledge properly interpret ed, seen with a vision of insight, that is uniting the world, the spirits of the world
 The president told an anecdote of Charles Lamb. who said he was never able to hate any man he knew.
 There are races whom we despise" he added, and 1t generally turns out that we despise them because we do not know them.
 "The object of scholarship, the ob- feet of all knowledge is to understand, Is to comprehend is to know what Inc need of mankind ls.
