PETER THE GREAT WlLLED
WARS UPON THE RUSSIANS.

The will Of Peter the Great, outlin-
ing for his SUCCESSORS a policy Of keep
ing Russia always at war and making
it predominant in Europe is being
pointed out as one OF the remote fac
tors In the European situation at pres
ent. Historians agree that th- will
was probably fake" inspired 10y
Napoleon to justify his invasion Of
Russia. But critical historians also
asree that the will ot Peter (will be-
ing taken 20 mean his intention and
desire instead Of a written docuwenD
has been put into effect in the policy
followed by the succeeding autocrlt'
OF Russia.
The document which has been di.-
cussed and banded about for more
than a century made its first appear
ance in 1872, in a volume by Charles
Louis Lesur of the French foreign Of

more than . series OF prophecies after
the events. The French policy toward
Russia was revealed by IL, however,
and historians since have declared that
II was only another Of the colossal
blunders which marked Napoleon >
whole Russian tactics.

Dumas published the memoirs OF q

UNITED STATES STANDING PAT
New President Must Be Man Who is
Acceptable to the Constitu.
tional Faction.
DEL vILLAR IS IN WASHINGTON
Followers of Diaz Said to Have Com
bined with Huertistas.
RUMoR OF A BREAK Is DENIED
Reports Persist Mexican Delegates
VIII withdraw from Conference
Because OF the Attitude of
the United states.

WASHINGTON. June 10. - Secretary
Bryan conferred at length with President
Wilson over the progress of the Mexican
mediation today and Immediately after
ward dispatched a long telegram to the
American delegation at the Niagara com
ference, which IL was understood con-
cerned the character and personnel OF
the proposed provisional government and
the attitude of the Mexican delegates
who object to a provisional executive with
constitutionalist leanings.
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the ma
ture of his conference with the president
and would only say that mediation was
progressing satisfactorily"
The opinion prevailed here that the
United States would not recede In it's de-
sire to have named as tho head of the
temporary government which would sue
ceed Huerta a man who would be ac-
ceptsble to the revolutionary faction.
The presence in Washington of Pedro
Del Villar continued to arouse specula-
ton, and report was persistent that
adherents of Felix Diaz, represented by
Del Villar, and the Huertistas had
patched up their differences and were
acting together TO exert the strongest
possible influence before the mediators,
Del Villar is said to have conferred with
representatives OF Huerta.
Constitutionalist agents in Washington
had received no reply from the mediators
today 70 the offer of Carranza to send
delegates to Niagara Falls.
Deny Rumor Of Break.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June H-Re-
ports that the Mexican delegates TO the
mediation conference we're preparing 10
withdraw because of the insistAnce OF
the Americans in espousing a constitu-
tionalist for the provisional president OF
Mexico were declared without founda-
tion today when the rne1iators and dele
gates resumed their sessions.
Emilio Rabsssa, head OF the Mexican
delegation, authorized the statement that
no charges Of bad faith against the
United States had been made at any
time. He insisted the Mexican delegates
had not wired for permission to with
draw and that the negotiations had never
reached such stage. He added that
until the American plan was submitted
In writing last week the Mexican dele
gates had no intimation OF the desire OF
the United States that constitutlonallst
be chosen.
Augusin Rodriguez, another of the
Mexican delegates, was emphatic in his
statement that the Mexican delegates
were not preparing to withdraw He
said they would exhaust every effort and
make every concession within reason in
order to arrive at a peaceful solution. All
sides are practically agreed now that on
the selection Of provisional president of
Mexico, the success or failure OF media
ton depends. The Huerta delegates sug-
gested five names. The Americans have
informally suggested several, but are
waiting for a complete list from Wash
ington.

Letter of Simmons
Says congressman
Should Go on Home

ST, LOUIS, June l5-The full text Of
the Simmons trust legislation letter
was printed by the Post Dispatch here
today The letter. which is signed Sim
mons Hardware company" says there
are three things on which the business
Of the country is waiting. one is wheat
harvest, II is stated: the second is the
ettlement or the Mexican situation.
The last. hut not least" continues the
letter. lis the advance in freight rates to
the railroads, a matter of exceedingly
great Importance, but coupled with these
three matters is another one of equally
great Importance. we believe, to the best
interests Of this country, and that is that
congress, which has been in session for
considerably over one year, during which
time It has been done much creditable
work. should not try to do anything more
at present, but should cease its efforts,
adjourn and go home. Especially do We
recommend that no further attempt Of
legislation on the matter Of the
control of business or passing OF
antitrust laws be continued at this
time. What the country needs now more
than anything else is a quiet time-an
absolute rest from the agitation of poll
tics and assaults on business-it does not
make any difference whether II is big
business OF little business. Nine-tenths
OF the business OF this country is thor
oughly honest. but because one-tenth
OF 1t may be questionable, the whole is
made to suffer by this agitation, which
is doing much damage.
I'VE therefore strongly recommend and
earnestly hope congress may be con
vinced 1t has done enough law making
for the present, that the country Is abso-
lutely tired and surfeited with political
agitations. and that agitation now Of the
control of business is very Injurious and
will serve to retaTd an Improvement I'm
business which otherwise would be very
great and rapid. bringing in the most
desirable way the greatst good to the
greatest number
1--WE submit these arguments or ques-
tions to you, asking you and praying you
to use your best influence in following
the lines suggested in this communica-
ton. viz:
ITO have congress shut up and go
