Although 4 the day was taken up
mainly in travelling to and from To-
ronto and in social duties at that
place, the A.-B.-C. mediators and the
American and Mexican delegates man
aged to have a formal conference last
ing an hour, at which an imaginary
obstacle to complete understanding
on the main questions embraced In the
negotiations was removed.
This conference was held in the
King Edward hotel in Toronto prior to
the departure of the mediation COM
missioners to attend the garden party
given in their honor BY the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught ${,$ III H
After the garden party the media
tors and others left Toronto for
Niagara Falls, arriving at 10:4O o'clock
at night. rs e. r. .s.5 II
The conference In Toronto was held
primarily to discuss what appeared to
be a difference Of opinion between the
Mexican and the American delegates.
The misunderstanding. if it may
properly be called that, came to the
surface the previous day, and it was
necessary for the American delegates
to communicate with the state depart
ment at Washington for instructions.
With the departments response, which
was made known at the days confer
ence, it appeared that the disagree
ment was more apparent than real.
