- Eradication of the cattle tick has
resulted in strong impetus to the cat
tie and dairy industries, according 10
officials of the department of agricul-
ture. This conclusion was reached
as a result of a study of replies re-
ceived from more than one thousand
stock men and farmers in eleven
states bordering on the quarantine
line to a department circular asking
for information in regard to the re-
suits of tick eradication which has
been in progress in the south ana
southwest since 1906. Among the
states affected were North and South
Carolina and Tennessee and Virginia.
The average increase in value or cat
tie reported since the tick eradication
began was 1916 per head. The av-
erage per cent of gain in weight was
1914. Replies concerning the in
crease in quality of cattle since tick
eradication show the average for the
eleven states as 26.91 per cent.
-Pekin. June IS: On telegraphic
request from Lanchow missionaries
the American legation today asked the
Chinese foreign office to give mission
aries in Southern Kansu protection
from the bandit White Wolf" Great
alarm has been created by the burn
ing and plundering of several missions
by brigands. In one instance, bandits
demanded the surrender of the women
of the mission but the women escaped
to a forest. An expedition sent out by
the Standard Oil company to drill oil
wells has been detained for several
weeks and is unable to proceed from
Shen Shi because White VOLTS bri-
gands continue their devastation. Gov
ernment troops are unwilling or unable
to surround the brigands. 1t is re-
ported that the town of Taochau alone
has lost 10000 inhabitants who were
shot or burned or committed suicide TO
escape the bandits. Plots against the
government along the Yangste Kiang
and in the south are being suppressed.
Vera Cruz, June II: British sub
jects who arrived here from Mexico
City today report q recent clash be-
tween Provisional President Huerta
and Sir Lionel Garden, the British
minister. The dispute arose out OF the
advice volunteered by Sir Lionel that
that de factor president should resign
and leave the country Immediately.
The British minister also offered Cen
eral Huerta a British warship to take
him to any port he might name to-
gether with his family. General Huer-
ia is said to have become enraged ana
to have threatened to arrest Sir Lionel
Garden if he ever repated the propos-
al. Sir Lionel Garden is said to have
based his suggestion on his personal
friendly relations with General Huerta
and to have urged upon him that the
time had come when flight was his
only recourse. A small revolt among
the Federal garrison at Soledad is re-
ported to have occurred last Monday.
II is said that IL men of the Twenty
ninth Mexican infantry deserted be-
cause they had not been paid for II
DAYS. They were pursued and nine or
them killed and the other two captur-
ed and executed.
There has been a little furry in
the United States senate on account OF
the use of senate stationery to boom
North Carolina gold mine. Several
letters appeared on the New York
stock market on the stationery OF Sen
ators Overman and Chiffon. They
contained favorable reports Of the Gold
Hill mine in North Carolina and they
were being used to influence prospect
i've purchasers into thinking the stock
was a good thing When the question
was raised in the senate, Senators Ov-
erman and Chiffon explained that
Walter George Newman had interest
ed them in the Gold Hill mine on ac-
count of which the Charlotte assay Of
flee was originally established. New
man had investigated the property and
reported that he had found new vein

the original workers and they had
been interested to the point of taking
stock Newman had also gotten Comp
troller of the Currency John SHELTON
Williams interested to the point of
sending down to investigate the advis-
ability of re-opening the Charlotte as
say office The reports of Newman
and an engineer employed in the mat
ter had been copied in the offices OF
the senators on senate stationery: but
both senator's disclaimed any intention
of using senate stationery for boosting
purposes. They requested that the
whole thing be investigated.
Gen. Villa issued from Torreon,
Mexico, yesterday, the following state
ment regarding his relations with
General Carranza: 81 have received
today many kilograms from different
newspapers in the United States ask
ing what is the matter between Gen
CarranZa and myself. ! already have
said through the Associated Press that
there is nothing between Gen. Car
rama and myself which in any way
has altered our military policy. will
now go even further and say there
never will be any difference between
Gen. CarranZa and myself that will
interfere with the work of the COnsti-
4 hn
of the leaders to impede or in any
way hamper the great work, now al
most within reach of our goal 1t
simply would be madness to wrangle
about individuals. We will fight the
enemy of our people and his miniOnS
until we have vanquiShed them. Aft
er that has been accomplished you
may rest assured all Mexican patriots
will do their duty and shoulder to
shoulder will work for the good of
all" At the headquarters of the di-
vision of the north. ii was announced
today that there was no foundation
for rumors that certain civil officers
in JuareZ. placed by Gen. CarranZa,
had been made prisoners. 1t was said
that by agreement they had been
transferred to Chihuahua City.
Officials of the Washington gov
ernment last night, according to a dis
patch, characterized the Mexican situ-
alton as extremely delicate This COM
ment referred particularly to the me-
diation conference which will be re-
sumed today at Niagara Falls. 1t also
applied to conditions in northern Mex
leo growing out of the action of Gen.
Villa in demanding complete military
control in the campaign against Gen.
Huerta Hope for the success of the
mediation. however. was not abandon
ed. according to persons in close touch
with the administration. This hope
was said to be largely based on dcvel-
opments in the ConstitutiOnalist ranks.
The view is held here that personal
squabbles among CarranZa's followers
had been nipped, enhancing the chance
of an agreement being reached on a
provisional president Of Mexico and
Of checking internal Mexican hostili-
ties. 1t was reported Huerta's Niagara
Falls delegates might yield to some
one suggested by the United States
for provisional president even if he
bore the stamp of the C0nstitutiOnalists
in order to hold up the military cam
paign against Mexico City. Credence
was given to reports from the Mexican
border that Gen. Villa had proposed IL
Carranza that there be a division of
civic and military operations, Villa tO
