Niagara Falls, Ont, June 1s.--De-
sire of an early settlement in the
Niagara Falls conference with an
agreement which may guarantee the
pacification of Mexico was increasing
on all sides today. With one proto-
col providing for the establishment Of
a provisional government signed and
proceedings now down to the point of
the discussion OF names and the form
of government to fbe established, there
was hope that with the prospect of
constitutional representatives arriving
here an agreement might be reached
within a week.
The presence Of the forces of General
Aguilar In the state of Vera Cruz is
said to be one of the causes of de-
sire for haste on the part of the Mex
lean delegates Aguilar is familiar with
every foot of territory from his pres
ent position to Mexico City. II
equipped with artillery he might make
successful march on the capital.
An informal conversation between the
Mexican and American delegates oc-
Cured today in which the mediators
took little part. There was a general
discussion as to the form of govern
ment that should be established. The
plan, which 1t has been generally sup
posed would be adopted, providing for
president and four cabinet officers,
was gone over informally. No great
progress is understood to have been
made as some objection arose on which

gates to communicate with Washington.
This afternoon Lamar was in commu-
nication with the president by long dis
tance telephone He then hurried to
the Canadian side, where he found
Frederick w. Lehman. The two then
found the three mediators and ex-
planned to them the point as understood
in the capital. The reply of Carranza
to the last note of the mediators has as
yet not been made public by the
South American ENJOYS, IL 1t has been
received. There is an increasing desire
at the American headquarters, however,
for unofficial participation of the con-
stitutionalists.
Will Meet to Discuss Affairs.
1t is realized that official participa-
long as Carranza refuses to declare an
armistice. 1t is believed, however, that
the Mexican delegates would meet with
the Carranzaistas as far as they might
discuss the personnel of the Mexican
government among themselves and then
with the Americans. And then a for
NAL conference plan should be present
ed by the mediators, an understanding
such as would be favorable to all par
ties would have been reached SO that
1t might be entered as IArt of the
final agreement at once.
1t was evident today that the Ameri-
cans were not insisting as much as
heretofore on the selection of an actual
leader of the constitutionalists for pro-
visional president. 1t appears that they
would approve of man of constitu-
tionalist sympathies. but one not actu-
ally identified with the revolution. A
newspaper man arriving here direct
from northern Mexico where he was
with General Villa, declares that the
constitutionalists will not accept such
man as provisional president, but 1t
Is believed Washington may have had
some assurances from Carranza.
The manner in which the authority
of Huerta should be transferred to the
new provisional government to be
named here came up again for brief
discussion during the conversation be-
tween the Mexicans and Americans to-
day. The mediators are hopeful that
the point may not be called up in con-
ference. 1t was suggested today that
even Huerta and Carranza might be

made. With a man for the provisional
presidency agreed upon, this would be
a technicality.
1t developed today that the rules of
procedure adopted at the first full con-
ference have not been protocolized as
supposed. This is due to the fact that
the American delegates wish to file a
letter which will state that the United
States did not recognize the Mexican
delegates here as the representatives Of
