The Mexican delegates at Niagara Falls felt that the Washington gov ernment is acting in bad faith and that Mir Bryan is not observing the conditions under which President 1 Huerta agreed 10 participate in the mediatory conferences. They made it plain that unless the United States changes its attitude the end of the negotiations is near at hand.
 The rebels failed to penetrate the federal defences at Zacateeas, only few outposts having fallen into the hands of General Natera. General Villa, 1t was said in Juarez, would soon be in supreme command of the army in the south.
 After reviewing the acts of Presi- dent Huerta in the last few weeks Washington was inclined to see in him an inclination toward concilia- tion that presaged success for medi- ation.
 The first of the peace protocols be- tween the United States and Mexico was completed and actually signed by tlO Ob oL lnc OhAtV0 States and Huerta. It provides for a temporary government for Mexico, to be reorganized and supported by the United States until elections can be held.
 General Carranza suddenly changed his position and agreed to send repre- sentatives of the Mexican constitution alist cause to the Niagara Falls con ference. It was emphatically stated, however, that he would agree to no armistice.
 Following on the elimination" of Carrauza by the mediators, and the statement that they regarded constitu- tionalist participation as closed in cident,' there was confusion whether the first chief' would finally be ad- mitted.

 AS STREETS SINK
Terrible Storm Rages Over
 Residential Quarter
TAXlCAB SWALLOWED UP
es,vsrs Burst In All Directions, Sub ways Were Flooded. Water Mains soouted, Gas Pipes Gave Way,
 and Flames Spread Terror.

Paris.-A thunder storm of phenom- enaI violence ragged over Paris for three hours. It caused loss of life and enormous damage to property. The great volume of rain flooded the streets and caused the bursting of sewers.
 Fourteen lives are known to have bsen lost and six persons are missing as result.
 Water spurted from the broken mains and added to the torrents from tbe skies converted the whole dis trict into a veritable river. Gas mains, telephone wires and the electrical supply were broken off.
 The most serious cave-in occurred st the Place Saint Philippe du Roule, st the junction of the Rue la Beetle and the Faubourg Saint Honore. When the storm was at its height a sharp, rending sound was heard in this quar- ter and. simultaneously. 300 square feet of the roadway heaved up and sank. carrying with 1t number of per sons who had taken shelter under the awning of cafe.
 A passing taxicab was engulfed Eve witnesses saw woman's hand waving from the vehicle and the head of the chauffeur as the taxicab disap- peared. Almost immediately 6 great block of stone fell upon 1t.
 By superhuman efforts the flremen were able to uncover the taxicab and remove the bodies of the chauffeur and his passenger, Mme. Lavolti.
 Nothing like the violence of the storm has ever been known in Paris. in addition to the floods which have destroyed life and property, the light ming was terrific. Several persons were killed in the street and in their homes At Choisy, one of the suburbs, three were killed and ten injured by lightning.
 Lightning struck and set fire to cafe opposite the Care du Nord, se- riously burning a girl standing beside the counter. Workmen were struck by lightning at the Place de rAlma, and river steamboat passing the bridge at this point was also struck. Several passengers were knocked down Lightning struck and wrecked a wall at Saint Denis. In the ruins was found the body of a woman, and 1t is thought that there were other victims.
 Troops have been thrown around the St. Augustin quarter.
 The quarter was immediately isolat- ed and the Prefect of the Seine hast ened there with large attachments of police, but for long time nothing could be done, owing to the darkness.

Firm for Antitrust Legislation Be-
 fore Congress Quits.
 Washington.-Decla that under no circumstances would he sanction an adjournment of Congress before the passage of the Administration antitrust bills, President Wilson ere ated a sensation in Washington by de- claring that influences were at work to create among business men Of the country an artificial demand for im- mediate adjournment and suspension Of the trust program.
 To back up these charges. which were more In the nature of sugges- tions than an outright attack, the President made public copies of let ters and telegrams sent out to bu 'i- ness men, inclosing form letters and telegrams to be used by business men in writing to their Senators and Rep resentatives. These letters were brought in by friends of the Admin istration.
 MT. Wilson nominated as members of the new Federal Reserve Board Paul NJ. Warburg of New York; A. c. Miller of San Francisco; Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago; w. P. c. Harding, Of Birmingham. Ala, and Charles s. Hamlin, of Boston.
 F. C. Simmons, we'll known manu. facturer of St. Louis, was not nomin- ated after 1t became known that he had written letters urging the post ponement of the Administration g trust program in Congress.
 MT Wilson's charge against "bis business" is regarded as a repetition Of his method in forcing the Under wood tariff bill through the Senate. He then scared the Senate by charg- Ing that an "insidious lobby" was at work to change the bill
