Washington, May 81 That Car.
rama will approve the list from
which Huerta's successor is to be Sc
lected or there can be no result from
the Niagara Falls peace conference
was said to be certain today.
CarranZa is not included In the
list unless something unforeseen de-
velops. He is willing to await his
own candidacy pending general
election. He made it very plain in
messages to the state department
through Consular Agent Carothers
no provisional president approved
by Huerta would be approved by
him.
The plan is to submit the list of
gress and let them choose one of
the approval of the rebels, but they
are insistent that the man chosen
must be one who is opposed to the
element which has recently been in
poweI.
This stipulation contains the dyna-
mite of the Mexican situation accord
ing to the belief of officials here.
Carranza and Villa insist that they
hold the entire Mexican situation in
their power and will not be robbed
of the fruits of victory.
Unless the mediators find a solu-
ton satisfactory to them they will re-
fuse to be bound by mediation.
Secretary Bryan as result has
been keeping in direct touch with
Carranza through the Junta officials
here.
Hardly day goes by but that John
Lind, acting for Bryan, does not con-
suit with Judge Douglas and the 9th
er rebel representatives here.
The instructions sent to Niagara
Falls are the result of these confer.
ences.
Meanwhile congress continues to
chafe over the lack of authentic in.

men of the foreign affairs committee
are without knowledge. AS a result
there is much quiet criticism and 1t
is expected this will finally grow in
to an open optbreak. especially so if
it is learned that the United States
has withdrawn it's demand for the
unconditional surrender Of Huerta.

sion committee that the members of the
alumni would come to their aid and give
such a big majority against removal, that
II would be an endorsement of the action
of the committee, met a sad blow to-
day, when the votes, which have been
taken on the question. were counted
About 400 votes were sent out TO the
members of the alumni, OF these, 2,e4S
sent in their votes, which stood 1,242 for
removal and 1884 against. majority OF
only 152 for the downtown campus. The
vote within the state was 6T for removal
and 81 against, being Just ninety-four
votes in favor of the downtown site, and
this too, in spite of the fact that the
so allied downtown committee has spent
three months and hundreds of dollars in
frantic effort to show the public that
the alumni wanted the university to stay
on the downtown campus, while no effort
has been made TO create sentiment for
removal
The committee having in charge the
canvass of the votes were: N. z. Smell
of Lincoln, Z, M Pollard Of Nehawaka,
Neb., and Amos Thomas of Omaha.
