 Niagara Falls, Ont, May 2s.-1 ter a conference today withlthe Nd ican delegates here the mediatl went over to the Americanvside wh@ they conferred with Justice Lamar 4 MT. Lehman, the American repI sentatives. It was indicated that t understanding with the oppoel parties to the negotiations. has pI ceeded to a point where plans E about in shape for a full conferei between both sides. This means is said, that a common basis of aRrs ment virtually has been reached, ter which the only problem whE would remain would be the actS ] preparation of the protocol whA will be signed at the final full cx ference between the parties to mediation proceedings. Mediation conferences have beenE progress a week today, and aired many of the essentials of a plan the pacification of Mexico have bA | agreed upon. Details are beingf wi E held until there is a complete agrg ment on all subjects but the ml | points of the plan on which both al at present look favorably are the l lowing: The transfer of the executive pod st Mexico City from the hands | General Victoriano Huerta to an2 visionaI president and four | ministers.

 Would Share Responsibility.
 These five men would share equ
 the responsibility of putting operation a program adopted at conference here for the conduct E soon as practicable of new electq for president. vice president, members of congress. The five
 would be neutral persons so fad political affiliations are concerned,
 would be representative men as nek acceptable as possible to all fact in Mexico, including the constitute alists. and approved also by
 American government Prompt rel
 nition of the provisional governn
 would be given by the United Sta
 Withdrawal of American troopk

 the new government is installed
 Tacit Understanding Expected
 While there may be no for
 declaration on. the subject, the NM
 can delegates expect a tacit uni standing to be reached that the Un
 States will regard as legal the finE
 cial transactions of the present ME can congress.
 In the protocol there will be claimed principles on which a studK
 the agrarian and educational prob1 k fin Mexico would be based but tlE will be made no mention of individ k to comprise the government.
 1 The mediators and delegates
 tended to use every effort to secret the names of individuals u
 all elements fin the proposed
 government have assented to the IS or the actual change fin governmerH accomplished. There is every red to believe. however, that already Washington government has in possession a list of names from wfN five men acceptable to it eventu | will be agreed upon. The fulrgewtsN were made by the Mexicans and theory under which the United Std is being asked to approve some them is that it has a right to Indlc& | whom it will or will not recognise. is also probable that this list also k ] been sent by the Mexican delega to General Huerta.
 Make No Reference.
 It is understood there will be
 reference in the protocol to the tails of future elections. either as foreclosing any individuals from coming candidates. or prescribing electoral machinery. The proto will declare simply for a general eIN ton, fair to all factions, and loolr# to the restoration of permanent Rl ernment. The new president woI serve until 1916. filling the unexpil term of the late President MaderoM 
 The Mexican delegates have look with disfavor on the proposal tha& commission government should be tablished provisionally pending election. They have contended that would be unconstitutional. The n diators who are understood to ha conceived the idea originally ha found a way to bridge that difficu by preserving the forms of the Me can constitution. The proviSiorN president and four ministers to all & teEts and purposes will act as a ul in resolving the various questions cident to re-establishment of a pe# manent government. The executi power, according to the Mexican e stitution is vested in the presided who can bestow it upon cabinet ryf cials. The four men who would a
