Agreement on Many of Main Points
 Have Been Reached at Niagara.

asH q
 Niagara Falls, Ont. May 2S.-Sub- stantial agreement on many of the main points involved in the mediation conference has been reached by the American and Mexican delegates.
 The discussion today covered the actual terms and details of many of the things deemed necessary to the pacification of Mexico. The mediators and the opposing delegates were de- cidedly optimistic. An early agree | ment is now looked for.
 The situation was summed up i'll the following announcement by Jus tice Lamar, upon the authority of the mediators:
 We have begun to discuss the act ual terms and details of d plan of pa cification- On a number of them we l find ourselves in substantial agree ment Others are still under discus sion and to them there has been no disagreement"
 That General Hnerta had given his consent to the programme thus far outlined here was one of the reports. The Mexican delegates as well as the Americans are anxious that the transition in Mexico City shall be smooth and unattended by any dis turbances.
 Desiring to avoid the appearance of having had their provisional president chosen at an international conference. the Mexican delegates have evolved the plan of suggesting to the media tors a list of names of representative citizens. The actual choice of an in I dividuaI from the list would be sane
 toned, it is suggested, by the Mexican congress It is assumed here that the
 Washington government would be
 willing to assume the responsibility of trying to bring the constitHtionalists
 into harmony with provisional gov
 ernment thus created.
 After much discussion a satisfactory method of considering the land ques-
 ton virtually has been reached. Mex
 jeans have not yielded their original convictions that the land problem is purely internal. they say all political parties in Mexico have pledged them selves to land reform and proclama- tion cannot embarrass the acts of any future congress. They stated ernpha- tically that whatever may be their own views even on the propriety of | drawing up a set of principles on land reform they would not permit the vex- ed agrarian question to disrupt the mediation proceedings.

Convict. We'll Housed.

The average ships forecastle or crews quarters will appear more like the black hole of Calcutta than an abode for workingmen- if a person should first inspect the sleeping quar- ters at the San Quentin penitentiary, says the Coast Seamen's Journal.
 The new cell house, at San Quentin, ftary housing. There are 500 single cells in the building, each containing white enameled bed, a stationary white enameled wash basin. with hot and cold water connections, and a water closet. Then, of course, there is an electric light in each cell and plenty of ventilation. That celIhouse must be seen to be appreciated. In comparison with typical Dunkhouse in construction camp the San Quen- tin cellkouse is 500 years ahead of the times.

Learnino tho Hard Facts.

From a chart which was exhibited by the Prudential Insurance company of America at the recent international would follow that there are 25, ,000 fatal industrial accidents year in the United States. and about 800, 900 injuries. This inspires a writer on the new -industrialism to say. "The mere possibility of being able to state in statistics the approximate number our industrial casualties is a step in advance, for as late as 1909 1t was impossible to estimate with any ac- curacy at all what was the toll we paid in crushed limbs and snuffed out lives. Now, at least. we know how vast ts the problem to be solved, how much needless suffering we inflict and how much we lose in dollars and cents because we have hitherto failed to realize the necessity of guarding men as well as machines.'

Washington, May 26.-Members of the cabinet were unanimously optimis- tic today after. an exhaustive review of all Communications that have passed between President Wilson and the American commissioners to the Mexi- can smediation conference at Niagara Falls.
 It was declared from an official source that negotiations had SC far progressed that a preliminary basis for peace SO lution of the international diff1culties had been reached. This it was said. N would soon take the form of protocol which probably would be signed by agents of~Genera1 Huerta's government and the United States. What would be the terms of such a protocol no one would .disclose.
 When the cabinet met the president laid before it the developments that have come day by day in the exchanges between the American commissioners and the mediators and the stipulations thus far proposed to the South Amer ican envoys by the representatives of General Huerta- Among the messages received from the seat of the peace conference was one confirmatiye of press despatches that one of Huerta,s own enyoys had declared that the agrarian question would not be permit ted to disrupt the international effort to avert war between the United States and Mexico and insure the ultimate restoration of peace to all Mexico.
 All the cabinet members were in a happy mood when the meeting ad- journed. k.-sS ..sAs
 Secretary Bryan was in an unusually optimistic frame of mind, but all he bad to say of mediation was that it was progressing satisfactorily. But he smiled and his eyes twinkled when he said it. ss
 Tie failure thus far of the Mexican colstit to indicate willing ness to participate formally in the con- ference was again declared to be no cause for uneasfness as to the out come. =
 There were no developments in the military situation today so far as the United States were concerned. Secre- tary Bryan had a call from an Ameri- can from Morelos who is a friend of Revolutionary General Zapata- He sought to assure the secretary of state that Zapata is not the guerilla warrior and bandit that: he has been pictured to be. but an earnest advocate of gov eramenta1 reform for the welfare of his country. The secretary received information and filed it for reference tQ the president and cabinet.
