all the waters adaptable to the pro-
duction of trout. of which number the
bureau of fisheries is prepared to sup

lished. The estimates are said to

Niagara Falls. Ont. June 25.-Terms
Tor composing all international differ
ences between the United States and
Mexico have been concluded The con-
ditions under which diplomatic rela-
tions will be resumed were embodied
In protocol which was signed by the
ambassador from Brazil, the ministers
of Chile and Argentina and the Ameri-
can and Huerta delegates.
The character of the settlement is
not expected to arouse opposition from
the constitutionalists, who will particl-
pate in and to a large degree would
mould the adjustment of ali interna-
tional disputes.
When a new provisional government
is established to succeed that headed
by General Huerta the result of media
tion-recognized as a triumph for Pan
American diplomacy-will become ef-
fective.
Incidentally with the action taken
1t was announced that the actual Sc
lection of provisional President and
the organization of the new govern
ment, which is considered purely in
ternal problem. will be left to an in
formal conference of representatives
of the constitutionalists-L Luis Cabrera,
Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos
and the delegates sent by General
Huerta to the mediation conference.
No formal adjournment of the medl-
ators will be taken, but there will be
no sessions while the representatives
endeavor to arrive at an agreement on
the personnel of the new government,
the agrarian and other questions.
Wednesday nights formal session of
mediators and delegates prepared the
way for the complete settlement of the
difficulties between the United States
and Mexico growing out of the failure
of a Huerta officer at Tampico to sa-
lutte the Stars and Stripes, which was
demanded as reparation for the arrest
of American bluejackets.
