NO CONFERENCES
 HELD AT NIAGARA.
Meddaters Are Working Rapidly to ForestaIl Collapse of Husr-ta Govern

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 24.-The obsersanee of the day of rest at Mi asara Falls has challenged no critic ism from the most punctiIous- There were no conferences, or even "conver- satsonx-s until almost midnight, when the Mexican delegates came over for a short talk Indeed, the subject of the Mexican imbrogiie has scarcely been considered Mediatcrs ard delegates, Mexican and American, attended church service and either walked in the parks or spent the hours reading in their rooms
 Reviewing the work of the first pc riod Of P51-American mediation, the story can easily be told After playing at foils for two or three days, it be- came evident that the hour for serious business had arrived. The Mexican delegates themselves felt the necessity more keenly- The constitutionalistS were continuing their victorious march anc very soon the situation at the Mexican capital must require atten- ton
 Should the Huerta government col- lapse as the constitutioualist army ap- breaches, it is realized that a condi- ton of chaos and anarchy may result This might alter the entire aspect of the situation
 The mediators are working rapidly, therefore, in the hope of seeing estab- lished in Mexico City a new provision al government that may be promptly accorded recognition by the United States before the constitutiona1ists can seize control The mediators think that a government set up by the constitu- tionalist arms cannot last long if un- recognized by the United States and the world powers. A revolution would be inevitable. In the hope of avoiding such a contingency, they are relying on the United States to enforce a strict embargo Of the exportatfon of aens to ali factions in Mexico.
 3he diplomats think that Car-anza GRnnct reach Mexico City in less than two months because the federal army IS destroying the railroads as it re- trSats and gathering more defenses in fke thickly populated sections north of Mexico Cfsy, Should Carranza still be in the neid when an agreement is reached here on the kind of pro- visionai government to be set up, the niediato-s feel that the influence of the United States may be relied upon to bring the constitHti0nalists into har- mony with the plans set forth in the conference.

ed, desire to have the constitutional ists participate on the same basis as themselves or not at all. As no invi- tation has yet gone forward to General Carranza, it seems that the media tors as yet share their views
 Unofficial advices reaching Wash ington from Niagara FanS were to the effect that the South American media tors were making determined efforts to bring about the establishment of a junta to govern Mexico pending the holding of an election, the junta to be made up of a man chosen by Huerta, one chosen by the constftutionalistS and a third chosen by the mediators.
 While representatives here of the constitutionalists insisted that they would never consent to such arrange ment, the word from Niagara Falls was that the mediators have not yet lost hope of bringing about this solu- ton
