Niagara Falls, Ont, May 30.-A
crisis in the progress of the mediation
proceedings was reached tonight.
While awaiting answers from the
Huerta government and United States
to the tentative plan for a new pro
visional government in Mexico. the
question of admitting Constitution
alists to the conference before an
agreement or protocol is signed, loom
ed up as likely to influence the de
cision Of the American government on
the plans already outlined.
The mediatOrs late today called liz
the Mexican delegates to learn if Gen
eral Huerta had approved the main
points Of the plan. The Mexi-
cans said they nae received no reply
but they te~legraphed again, urging a
quick response. The American dele
gates reported that Washington had
not acted on the plan.
The South American diplomats did
not breach the subject of Constitu-
tionalists representation to the Mexi-
cans OF show them the note held yes

The mediators, however, let it be
known tonight that they would ans

munication which could be inter-
preted as a desire to participate IN
the conferences on the subject Of paci-
flying Mexico. They hOid that Car
rama has not indicated a desire to
take up internal questions. On the
other hand it is said hat the Wash

the failure Of the mediators to answer
an inquiry as to what points would be
treated in h negotiations left General

Home of the CInue-


About two-thirds of all the cloves
come from a little island named
Pemba that lies about five degrees
south of the equator, just within sight
OF the mainland Of Africa, between
Mombasa and Zanzibar. The island
OF Pemba is only 35 miles long and
ten wide. 1t is a low, jungle-coyered,
feVer-haunted spot, surrounded by,
coral reefs and inhabited by indolent,
unintelligent and improvident natives
and a small handful Of Europeans.

1sh Royal Engineers has just publish
ed an account Of a survey he made of
the island. He estimates the average
yield OF a tree to be 35 pounds OF

At the moment when this de-
mand was made, contractors and
city officials were seeking men to
work at snow removal, Offering

end Of each day. L. W. W. leaders
not only advised men in the lodg-
ing houses not to accept work and

on the streets yesterday urging
shovelers to quit and leave the city
defenselcss against the worst snow
storm of years. "The wealthy

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS

In the lScuSSlOn OF the
canal tolls question we have, of
late, seen no reference to the Bard
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, which the Senate voted
down, says an exchange. Here is
the amendment:
"The United States reserves the
right 10 the regulation and manage
ment of the canal to discriminate
in respect of the charges of tariff
in favor of its own citizens engage
ed in coastwise trade"
What was the need of this amend
ment if the treaty in its ORIGINAL
form permitted such discrimina-
ton? Senator Bard, of California,
did not SO interpret it, or he would
not have offered his amendment.
1t was voted down, and the treaty
was ratified by a vote of ~ to g..
Now, in constituting legislation it
is very important to know the in
tent of the body that enacted it.
We have it here in the defeat of
this very amendment deiRDed to
make possible a policy of discrimi-
nation that would not, it was
agreed, be permissible under the
treaty itself. The treaty was assail-
ed because it forbade the doing of
the very thing that it is now pro-
posed to do.
But this is not all. Senator Bacon
moved to strike out the section for
bidding discrimination in tolls. The
Senate refused to sustain him,
thus again committing itself to the
principle of equal treatment for all
users of the canal. Now we are
asked to do the very thing which
the Senate that ratified the treaty
admitted that We had no right to
do, and refused to make it possible
for us to do. Finally equal treat
ment of all shipping was the price
or a part Of it, that we paid
for getting rid Of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, under which Great
Britain was made a partner in the
canal enterprise. Whiting on this
phase of the question years ago,
George F. Edmunds, former men,
Der of the United States Senate,
and q most distinguished one said:
Il believe that both the language
and spirit Of theHay-
treaty compel us to subject our ow0
coastwise vessels to the same tolls
established for the commerce of
all other nations making use of the
canal. Such equality was as every
body knows, the consideration
made from the supposed obligations
of the Clayton-Bulwe treaty of
1850"
Yet there are those who now ar
que that we have a right to reput-
late the bargain; that, having got
what we covenantod for, we may
now refuse to make the agreed pay
ment.
II the Democratic party really
does, in spite of all it's p~rotesta-
lions, believe in the ship subsidy
principle, let it honestly make a
direct grant out of the treasury to
our coastilg lines.
