Niagara Falls, Ont, June 2l. The three first articles of the prO- tOcOI have been signed.
Reach Agreements.

Washington, June 24.-Three im- portant protocol paragraphs have been agreed upon by the Niagara Falls mediators, their ultimate value to de- pend upon whether or not a final agreement will be reached on the knotty problem of a provisional presiA dent. The complete agreements are:
 First, the army of the United States in Mexico will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz at a time to be agreed upon by the United States and the prOvis- ional government of Mexico.
 Second, an international commission will be established which will have jurisdiction and power to settle all personal and property claims arising by reason of the rebellion in Mexico.
 Third, general amnesty will be proclaimed by the provisional govern ment for all political prisoners, whether held by the present federal party or by the constitutionalists.
 These agreements are contained in protocols which are ready for sigma lures by the United States and Huerta, and which embody the representative progress of mediation to date.
 The mediators can adjourn within |24 hours after an agreement is reached on provisional president.
 The ambition of the state depart ment at the present time is to get the constitutionalists, officially or otherwise, to agree to these protocols It is pointed out that no matter what party succeeds in Mexico these three protocols must be agreed to. There is little hope, according to the International News Service in- formant, that there will be any imme- diate agreement on a provisional president. The mediation proceedings results of the conferences between the Huerta and constitutionalist dele gates this week at Buffalo are known.
 The temper of the meeting between the constitutionalists and the Huer- tistas will largely depend on the news which will be received from General Villa and his military progress. If General Villa is set back at Zacatecas, then there will be a stiffening of the Huertistas, and a large chance for the upsetting of neutralizing of the proto- co.'s formulated as above.
 The state department expects to have full information from Geor"e Carothers and it's other agents in Mexico, giving the views of Villa and Carranza and all the rebel generals for presentation to the Buffalo Huerta- Carranza-Villa conference.
 What is expected is that after the meeting in Buffalo between the repre- NNTTNUED ON PAGE TnREE'

URGES STUDY OF
 BIBLE IN SCHOOLS Speaker at $. s. Convention Sees Indication of Grow
 ing Protherly Spirit.
MEETING WITH FAVOR
Mariona Lawrence, Secretary of In. ternati0nal Association, Says Pro. stestant, Catholic and Jew Favor
 Schools Using Bible.

Chicago, June 24-"Cooperation by Protestant. Roman Catholic and Jew il, the mater of Bible reading in the rublic schools is an indication of the growing spirit of brotherly regard and toleration," said Marion Lawr- ance, secretary of the International Sunday school association, at the session of the fourteenth triennial convention here today. This is Q great step forward in the study and recognition of the Bible. Encourage ment of the reading in public of those portions of the Bible agreed upon by all is the aim of such cooperation.
 Perhaps one of the most signifi- cant advaices that has been made in Sunday school work is that of recog- nizing the church and the Sunday school in the regular work of the day school,' sold MT. Lawrance. "The different religious bodies have, ap- parently, been taking it for granted that there is no common ground of cooperatin in the matter of Bible study, but such is not the fact. and we have found that our fears that reconciliation and cooperation in this wook would be impossible were groundless. Surely giving of credits f. public school for Bible stndy done ill the churches is new thing to most of us, and opens up possibili- ties We had never dreamed of"
 crucial problem before the pres ent conference is the method to be adopted in advancing the Sunday school work, according toMr. Law rance. The association has had under consideration for more than two years a plan for nationwide cam paign, but while the Sunday schol leaders are eager to push the work.

Chicago Experiences Electrical Storm Following Day of Intense Heat. Causing Ten PrOStratiOns-Fiye
 at Barn Dance Meet Death.

Chicago, June 24.--Thirteen per sons are known to be dead, over fifty are injured and property loss esti- n3sted at $1,50o000 was sustained as a result of a cyclone which swept Wisconsin Southern Minnesota and part of South Dakota early today. Most of the dead are in Wisconsin.

 Practically every business house in the city closed its doors during the hour of the procession, from 4 until , o'clock, and business in the city was at standstill.

Clemson College. Jan. 13.-The
enrolment of students shows that We
have exactly forty-two more boys at
present than we had this time last
year. The college is taxed to it's full
est capacity to accommodate this mum
Der of students and there must be an
additional barrocks provided for be-
fore any more can be taken in. This
is a matter of great importance and
must be looked after pretty soon too,
because numbers Of applicants are
turned down each year on account Of
lack of accommodations for them.
DR.. Redfern, the college surgeon,
made the statement in chapel last
Wednesday morning that there has
been less Sickness among the boys
this year than he has ever known be-
fore, only one case of pneumonia be-
ing here since last September. The
college is located in a very high sec
ton though, and we have never had
any great amount of sickness consid-
ering the large number of boys here.
The cadets were called out last
Wednesday night about one o'clock by
fire alarm. Mr.. Clinkscales' livery
stables we're burned, including 10
horses and one automobile The
alarm was not given until the fire
had made too much headway for the
cadets to do any good. They man
aged, however, to prevent any consid-
cradle amount of damage being done
to surrounding buildings. 1t is not
known how the fire started unless it
caught from faulty stove fue. The
negro who was staying there was
asleep at the time the fire started and
did not wake until the building was
falling in on him. He escaped with
out any serious injury other than be-
ing scared almost to death.
Mr. Frank Clinkscales, the proprietor
was away from home at the time Of
the fire. and no doubt the primary
cause Of the fire was due TO careless
ness among the negroes. II Is &c
