 Features

Washington July 21.--Just as demo- cratic leaders in the Senate thought the administration antitrust legislative programme had been perfected and made ready for launching on it's voyage to enactment. the bin to regulate rail- road securities struck another snag to- day in the interstate commerce com mission.
 With its work practically completed the committee found Louis D. Brandeis and George Rubles. who have been giv- ing advices as experts in railroad eco- monies, and interstate commerce com mission affairs, strenuously objecting to the main features of the measure as drafted for final approval. They in- sisted that the bill as drawn practically would put the federal government in the position of guaranteeing the is- suance of securities. Several republi- can members of the committee anu one or two democrats were inclined to agree with the experts. After long dis cussion the committee adjourned until tomorrow without taking action.

 Confident of Peace

Washington. July 1.-The United States today. through its consular representa- tives. appealed to General carranza and General Villa in the interest of patriot ism and permanent peace in Mexico to bury thehir personal differences and work in harmony for the establishment of a new government.
 Secretary Bryan telegraphed both George C. Carothers and l. R. Silliman, representatives of the state department. with General Villa and General Carranza. respeetively( urging that they present in most friendly, vet effective, manner the importance of cohesion in the con- stitutionalists forces. While the recent conference of Carranza and Villa dele gates at Torreon agreed upon terms de- signed to heal the breach between the two leaders. new disquieting reports have come to the effect that Villa was pre- pairing to concentrate his troops in Chi huahua and hold himself aloof from Carranza's authority.

Eight Party Men Hold Con- ference at Buckingham
 Palace
MINISTER'S ENEMIES
 SAY HE IS BEATEN
Point to Conference and Contend It Is Evidence of Prime Ministers Sur render=House of Commons
 Would Defeat Amendment

London. July 91.-m compliance with the Kings summons. the eight rarty leaders most vitally concerned with a settlement of the home rule deadlock met at Buckingham palace today in an effort to reach an agreement.
 The King received them with a speech in which was pointed out the serious ness of the situation and the narrow margin of difference which now exists. It expressed the hose of a friendly solution of all difficulties.
 The eight leaders some of whom were not on speaking terms, included John Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader, and John Dillon who never before had come into personal contact with the King They discussed the situation for more than an hour and then adjourned.
 To Meet Again
 The mere fact that they will have an- other meeting shows that an agree ment is in sight among the principals. But agreement by the principals does not portend by any means definite set clement of any scheme for the future government of Ireland.
 The conservatives have the Ulster cov- enanters. represented in the conference
 Sir Edward Carson and Captain James Craig to reckon with. and Premier As- quth cannot do anything without the consent of the home rule leaders. Red mond and Dillon. Moreover. the labor party. which is an important part of the premier's present majority in the House of Commons, is in revolt, and there is a bolting contingent in his own party.
 Politicians who are conversant with the inside workings. predict that if the con ference reaches any agreement the House of Commons will throw 1t out
 Prime Minister Beaten
 The fact that the prime minister com sidered it necessary to resort to such a conference is hailed by his opponents as a virtual surrender an his part His opponents prophecy and his radical sup porters fear that he will consent to Sil Edward Carsons loudly proclaimed Jlti matum of clear eur exclusion of th' whole of Ulster from the projected new Irish government
 Parliamentary experts assert that | such an agreement is laid before th' House of Commons it will be defeated In that event a general election must follow and convinced are the union ists of a general election that they have sent messages to all the party workers to he prepared for 1t within three weeks
 Messages from all parts of Ireland say that the natlonalists and the Orange men arc absolutely al the fighting point and will not listen to any talk of a com promise.
 There was an outburst against the King by the liberal papers today. To people who do not understand English condi- tions it might have looked as though the monarchy were threatened. But this happens inevitably under similar condi- tons.
