Niagara Falls June 25.-Defnite as
Mexican mediators that meeting will
be held in the near future between the
representatives of the United States
government and the constitutionalists,
with view to the bringing about Of
peaceful settlement of the difficulties
which have shaken the southern re-
public.
This action. It is declared, will fol-
Gals agreeing that the diplomatic rela-
tions between the United States and
Mexico shall be restored and the other
International difficulties considered
settled when new provisianal gov
ernment succeeds ethesHuerta regime.
To Remain to Counsel.
In the meantime mediation does not
adjourn. The diplomats and the Ameri
can delegates will lend their counsel
advice wherever possible when the
delegates of the two factions have their
meeting in informal conference. The
meeting place has not been determined,
but it is stated it probably will be
Niagara Falls.
When the two parties shall have ad
justed the internal problems now at is
ue, the mediation board will formally
reconvene ard procotalfze the results.
A date will be set for formal recogni-
ton Of the new government and for
the withdrawal of United States troops
and ships from Mexico.
The situation was brought to its
present status only after mediation
many times had seemed ready to col
lapse. The exclusion of the constitu-
tionalists from voice in the proceed
ings had alienated their interests, but
later the American government an
nounced it would be useless to make
any agreement on the internal prob
lens Of Mexico-its provisional presi-
dent-unless the constitutionalists ap-
proved.

making answer to a communication

The correspondence is necessarily

Taken in connection with the dec-

to justify the president for declining
to attack the constitutionality Of the
California law.
The last American not was an after
thought. States department officials
had concluded that the Japanese note
OF last agaust had brought the negotia-
tions to an impasse: that each side hAd
reached a radical disagreement as to
the scope OF the treaty and the Cali

way to clear away the difference would
be thru legal test OF the constitution

they inclined to the belief that II re-
