washington, May 2S.--Predictions
<hat protocol would, be signed by the
Huerta and American delegates to the
Niagara conference within the next
week and reports that the Hamburg
american steamer Ypiranga had deliv-
cred ammunition for the federals at
tuerto, Mexico were widely varying
phases in the Mexican situation that
engaged the president and members Of
the cabinet. While it would have been
impossible to have prevented the deliv-
cry of the munitions for Huerta with
out violation of the truce between
the federals, and the American gov
ernment, yet the incident recalled that
the Ypirangas movements precipitated
the occupation of Vera Cruz, to balk
the landing of very same war materials
that now reach Huerta through the
Tehauntepace railroad route
The main stages of the negotiations
at the Niagara conference have been
reported to the president. Under re-
ferendum by. which the delegates are
acting it is now understood they have
reached reasonably complete form on
the essentials of the proposed agree
nlent. There has been no effort, so far
to weld the essentials into a protocol,
hut various propositions stand out dis
tinctly and will readily admit of ANAL

when it is found necessary to do so.

Young Salesman Ended
Life With Revolver

Making careful preparations for the
end, William Nicolay, of Minneapolis:
wrote several letters, which he left on
the table in his room at local hotel,
arranged his personal effects neatly
and then lay down on his bed, folded
his left hand over his breast, and,
with revolver in his right, sent a bull
let crashing into his brain. One of the
letters which he left contained a brief
prayer to his Maker for forgiveness
MAY the Lord have mercy on my
SOUL" he wrote, land forgive my
transgressions as I forgive those who
have transgressed against me. / go to

was never mine in this world
Last Seen Tuesday Evening.
Nicolay went to his room in local
hotel about o'clock Tuesday evening.
and was not seen alive after that time.
The hotel manager became appre-
any response from the room, and, last
night about 5 o'clock, the door of the
room was broken open, and the body
was found lying on the bed.
He had evidently been dead for some
time, twelve hours at least, and prob
day night.
Carefully Prepared.
His clothing was found neatly fold
ed and placed on chairs. His personal
effects and toilet articles were on the
bureau, neatly arranged.
The body was lying on the, bed, the
left hand, with large diamond ring
on one finger, folded across his breast.
The revolver lay at his right side.
The bullet had gone straight through
| the head. and death must have been
instantaneous. for it was evident tnat
he had not moved after the shot was
fired.
Letters Found.
On the table were found the let
ters. The stationery was that of the
Royal Alexandria hotel in Winnipeg
The letters were not folded nor in
envelopes. One of the letters was a
/ pathetic two-page epistle, addressed
to his wife. in which he denied that he
had smuggled yaluables across the

been agreed upon by process of
elimination Of the issues, which it had
been at first impossible to compose. It
by no means follows that the points
still in dispute cannot be adjusted, but
the purpose has been, in framing these
separate propositions, to clear the way
for a discussion and adjustment Of the
most serious differences.
Though the tentative protocol, If
such it may be called at this stage,
consequently omits some of the most
dangerous factors which must enter in
to the final settlement, it is regarded by
administration officials here as most
promising, considering the limited per-
iod of time the mediators have been at
work. The success SO far attained has
been remarkable compared with other
similar negotiatioss.

coast, the Japanese warship will ac-

rail to Mexican capital.
