LOWEST SINCE 1872
AVERAGE IS 74.39o OF NORMAL
CROP, OR 90 BELOW TEN
YEARS AVERAGE.

WASHINGTON, June 2.--The con-
diti0n Of the cotton crop Of the coun-
try is the lowest since 1871 with the
exception of 1903 and 1907, the de-
partment Of agriculture announced
today, issuing statistics showing con-
dttion on May Is as 1880 Of a
normal, or Z per cent below the ten
year average.
The low condition. Of the crop, 1t
was said, was due largely to exces-
sive rains and exceptionally cool
nights in central and northeastern
Texas, eastern and southern Oklaho-
ma and southwestern Arkansas which
brought the condition percentage In
those states down to 65. 6S and 70 re-
spectively. In Texas many farmers
were obliged to replant several times.
No estimate Of the acreage planted
to cotton has been made by the de-
partment nor will any be made until

acreage have placed it from 3.5 per

carranza 10 Asked If He Is Willing
to Declare an Armlstlce With Huer-
ia Forces So That Political Pacifica-
ton May Be Brought About.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 81
Gen. Huerta is preparing to resign.
He today authorized his representa-
tives at the mediation conference to
announce to the world that neither
mistaken pride nor personal interest"
would prevent his withdrawal wher
once Mexico is politically pacifed,"
and the government succeeding him
is SO constituted that 1t can count on
the support Of public opinion in Mex
leo.
The Mexican delegates in their for
NAL statement revealed that they had
been instructed from the first to in
form the mediators that Gen. Huerta's
personality would not be an obstacle
toward reaching peaceful settle
ment. They also stated that the in
ternal situation in Mexico was neces-
sarily bound up with the internation-
al questions" and that this spirit had
actuated them in coming to the medi-
alton conference
Coincident with the announcement
by the Mexican delegates Of their po-
sition, the mediators sent note by
mail to Rafael Zubaran Capmany,
representative Of Gen. Carranza in
Washington, replying to the commu-
nication brought here Friday by Juan
F. UrQuidi. The mediators in effect
asked Gen. Carranza II the constitu-
tionalists were ready to discuss inter-
nal as we'll as international questions,
and II they were ready to declare an
armistice with the Huerta forces so
that the political pacifcation" to
which the Huerta delegates referred
In their statement might be speedily
brought about.
These acts-the issuance Of the
statement by the Mexicans and the
mailing Of reply to Zubarana--
broke the deadlock In the negotia-
lions, the existence Of which the me-
diators formally denied. It, never
theless was authoritatively establish
ed that until the mediators withdrew
heir original intention of ignoring the
Zubaran note did the American dele
gates consent to 60 ahead with dis
cussion Of the general peace plan, on
which substantial progress was made
in today's conferences.
The statement by the Mexicans,
prepared two days ago, but not is
sued until Gen. Huerta had telegraph
ed his complete approval today Of
the tentative plan for new provi-
sional government, also carried the
negotiations long step forward.
