EXEMPTION or
CHURCH PROPERTY.

Senator Gallinger, who advocates
the free passage of American coast
wise vessels through the Panama
Canal, in a speech Tuesday called
attention to the fact that twenty
five millions dollars worth OF
church property in Washington is
exempted from taxation.
At long intervals representative
men have taken issue with lawmak-
lers who think all property used as
places for public worship should be
exempted from taxation. and they
have. asserted that the best building
lots in every city are secured by
church congregations for cdihces ano

2 PROGRESS OF DIPLOMACY.
Attempts to Formulate Peace Between
., Representatives.

NIAGARA Falls, N. Y, May 21-WNth
the arrival of Eduard Suarez, Ambas-'
sador from Chile, the Alb. c. medl-
ators were today prepared to take up
in earnest the task of bringing the
American and Mexican representa-
tives together on a plan for peace
in Mexico
Ambassador Sua1ez arrived shortly
after midnight. Though a part OF yes
terday he was lost, as far as bhe me-
diators here were concerned, and 1t
appears that the ambassadors diver
sion to continuous riding on trains
was mairly responsible for his delay.
Ambassador Da Cana jocularly de-
slared that he had hardly expected
Suarez here on time. The Chilean
representative believes in doing his
travelling at easy stages, and ON ar
irving at the Clinton Hotel declared
that he was mighty glad he was off
the train and that he would not have
to board another one for some time
All initial ceremonies over and the
delegates of the two countries having
met about the conference table for
The first tlne, the strain which was
evident among the Mexican and Amer
lean representatives, as well as the
A. B. C. Mediators, appeared to have
worn off to great extent tc-ay.
Justice Larrar and Frederick W. Leh-
mann held an extended conference
with the mediators last night.
Stiffe ceremony is giving away, in a
degree, to a hearty greeting as man
TO man, but in official connections al,
psecedents Of diplomacy are careful
observed!
The next step along the road tow
ard peace had not been formally de-
cided upon to3ay, but it was expected
that the Mexican delegates would
meet with the mediators. In accor--
anceSwith< the rulesSof procedure which
were adopteisfull conferences will be
had only upon the request of the dele
gates, for an expression Of tE,2!
views, for the presentation of a basis
CT settlement, or for acceptance o.
rejection of proposals.
Justice Lamar and Judge Lehman
would comment in no way as to t. :
session held last night. When tt.
will again sit with the mediators is
rot known Judge Lehman deciare:!,
but adder that conference could be
aTangned in a few moments at any
time.

cities; Sst
The first message sent to Con-
gress by President Grant in 1867 1861
called attention to the existing order
of things, and he urged upon Con-
gress the taxing of all churches, par
sonages or other buildings used py
churches and under existing laws not
listed for taxation. He said that Il
congregations, were able to erect
massive and costly structures, they
should expect to pay theirproportlo n
of taxes for the support of the gov

WHOLESALE
MASSACRES.

Stories of wholesale massacres IN
Mexico still come in, and the de-
tails are revolving. Human beings
are taken out and destroyed as ca
mines during dog days or rats IN
traps. Human life is no more re-
gardcd than that of animals at
slaughter houses, and blood contln-
ues to flow in all sections of the un-
happy country.
When France lost her reason at a
.isss.ime 'when She people supposed they
had entered "the age of reason"
other European countries were COM
PEELED, while the guillotine was be-
ing kept busy, to interfere in the
interests of humanity.
1t is hard to understand that a
country like Mexico, whose civiliza-
ton may, for ought we know to the
contrary, be synchronous with that
of Egypt, should have made so 1T
tie progress in the twentieth CEN
tury. The people seem to be IN
worse state than they were in the
DAYS of Cortez. Internal dlsturban-
ces are as indigenous to the country
as yellow fever, and wars and rum
ors of war are ever heard.
1t is officially stated that General
Ozorno, Of the federal army, and his
entire staff Of SO officers were cap
tured by Villa at zertuche, IS miles
from Saltillo, and that all were I'M
mediately put to death.
Expecting to be treated as prise
ncrs of war under civilized rules OF
warfare, the federal commander, 1t
is said, surrendered with his staff
He and his officers were killed on
the field as soon as they had been
made prisoners.
There was captured also a gene
ral and SO officials at Zertuche whe
composed his staff. All were exc
cuted Immediately All Spaniard:
in Mexico City are to be expelled
from the city and from Mexico Wher
Pancho Villa takes the capital, ant
those who have been active in aiding
Huerta are to be put to death. Will;
has a list of all Spaniards in Mexico
City who have been active IN assist
ing Huerta, and each is marked TO
death.
