 Resolved, that the United States disclaim any hostility to the Mexican people or any pur- pose to make war on them" ] AVOID PERSONAL ISSUE.
 The purpose of the new reso- lution, it was said, was to avoid the appearance of a personal is sue between the United States and General Huerta asked also to avoid any misinterpretation of the attitude of this govern lnent toward the Mexican people as a whole.
 Administration senators had consented to the changes after Senator Shively's conference with the vice president Secre- tary Garrison, Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson and Secretary Tu- multy.
 When the senate convened at 12:10 o'clock for the regular Tuesday session the calendar was passed over quickly and Senator Shively presented the new resolution as a substitute for the measure passed by the house. Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island immediately ob- jected. Senator Lodge urged that the objection be withdrawn and the Rhode Island senator f. nally consented, reserving the right to object later.
