Move Adopted After Fail
ure to Get Rebels in
On Armistice.
CARRANZA IS PRESSED
American Government Induces
Leaders to Have Agents
Deal With Huerta Men.

| Niagara Falls, Ont, June 22.-Actuai
negotiations between representatives
of the two factions in Mexico in an ef-
fort to agree on an individual for pro-
visional president Is the Latest plan
which the mediators have evolved for
solution of the Mexican problem. Just
how the two elements are to be drawn
together remained secret today, and
it became known that strong pressure
has been brought to bear on Carranza
through the American government and
that the mediators had persuaded the
Huerta government to come into the
plan.
Informal parleys between represent
atives of the two factions, outside OF
formal mediation proceeding, but
with the counsel and advice of the
American delegates, is the object of
the plan. This move was adopted as a
last resort, every effort to get the con-
stitutionalists to agree to an armfstice
having failed. The appeal which is
said to have Influenced both factions is
that the Mexicans themselves must
save their country from further spoila-
ton and bloodshed by each making
certain sacrifices, but neither side will
be asked to abandon the principles for
which they have been contending. It
will be several days before the plans
materiali1e and the constitutionalist
delegates can arrive.
Conferences to Continue.
Meantime the mediators and the
Huerta and American delegates will
continue their discussion of other
points in the general peace plan than
those on which they have been dead
locked. Separate conversations with
the Huerta and American delegates
are set for today. The determination
seems to leave the question of a pro-
visional president to the two Mexican
factions to decide. Any agreement
they may reach will be sanctioned by
the American government, and the re-
suits of the negotiations will later be
in the mediation proceed
ings, for final agreement. The ad-
vantage of the new plan is that the
will be continued while
the situation in northern Mexico is de-
veloping.
1t is understood Huerta has granted
his delegates permission to deal with
the constitutionalists.
New Carranza Delegates.
Washington, D. c., June 22.-Indica-
tions here were that the three new
of the CONSTITUTIONAL
lists movement would open the way

at Saltillo; Alfredo Bregeda, aide to
Carranza, and Leopoldo Espenosa,

said to have the approval
Of both CarranZa and Villa, are ex.
pected to arrive Wednesday. 1t is be-
lived Calderon will succeed Rafael Zu-
baran as chief representative of the
here. Another com.
from Carranza to the medi.
ators at Niagara has been forwarded
from Washington. In that communica-
lion Carranza is reported to have dis
cussed probable informal negotiations

Umballah but had always belonged to the dissatisfied
section, the frankly and openly mutinous section. No
bribery was possible here; at least, nothing short of a
fabulous sum of money would dislodge their loyalty to
Ramabai, now the constitutional regent. No one could
leave the house or enter it without scrutiny and ques-
ton. .e
The servants and the women of the zenana remained
undisturbed. Ramabai would have it so. Things had
been put in order. There had not been much damage
done by the looters on the day Of the revolt. They had
looked for treasure merely, and only an occasional bit
of vandalism had marked their pathway.
On the pain of death no soldier might enter the house.
The m~ajordomo was permitted to enter without ques-
tion. He passed the guards humbly. But once inside,
beyond observation, he became a different man. For In
Umballah's house, as in Ramabai's, there were secret
chamber, and today the majordomo entered one of them
through a panel concealed behind a hanging Ispahan
rug.
On the night after the revolt, Umballah, sober and

Perhaps unwisely they had proclaimed his death. Durga
Ram had discovered what they had done and had held
it over their heads like a sword blade. That the king
was not in his dungeon, why and wherefore, was beyond
their knowledge. They were in the power of Ramabai;
let him work his will upon them. They had told the
truth. And Ramabai, much as he detested them, be-
Geved them. But for the present it was required that
they remain incarcerated till the king was found, dead
or alive.
In the palace soldiers and servants alike had already
forgotten Umballah. To them it was as if he had not
existed. All in a few hours. There was, however, one
nan who did not forget. Upon a certain day Umballah
had careessly saved his life, and to his benefactor he
was now determined to devote that life. This man was
the majordomo, the chief servant in the kings house
hold. 1t was not that he loved Umballah rather that
he owed Umballah a debt and resolved to pay it.
Two days later, when the fires were extinguished and
the populace had settled back into its former habits, this
majordomo betook himself to Umballahs house. 1t was

"John!" She withdrew from her fathers arms and
sought those of the man who loved her and whom she
loved, as youth will and must. Let him go. Why
should we care? Take me to my sister,"
Ahmed smiled as he and his men rolled the net. This
vas as it should be. For what man was a better mate
for his golden haired Memsahib? And then he thought
Of Lal Singh, and he choked a little. For Lal Singh and
he had spent MANY pleasant hours together. They had
worked together in play and in W -, shared danger and
bread and glory, all Of which was written in the books
of the British raj ia Calcutta.
1t was the will of Allah there was but one God, and
Mahomet was his prophet. Then Ahmed dismissed Lal
Singh and the past from his thoughts, a6sSr the
philosophical manner of the Asiatic, and turned to the
more vital affairs under hand.

she had been to Christian darnnation. She had fallen
from grace; she had reverted to the old customs of her
race, to whom suicide was no sin. Ramabai took her
in his arms and touched the forehead with his lips.

The council which had ruled so long in Alfalfa was
very humble indeed. They had imprisoned the king be-
cause he had given many evidences Of mental unbalance.
