The Niagara Falls Conference
Agrees on Tentative Terms
of International Peace.
WILL STILL HOLD VERA CRUZ
Exact Date of Withdrawal of American
Forces Depends Upon Future Me-
qotiations-ViIIa Captures
Zacatecas.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-Terms for
composing all international differ
ences between the United States and
Mexico have been concluded. The
conditions under which diplomatic re-
lations will be resumed have been en-
bodied in a protocol which was signed
by the am AMBASSADOR from Brazil, the
ministers of Chilli and Argentina and
the American and Huerta delegates.
The character of the settlement is
not expected to arouse opposition
from the constitutionalists who will
participate in, and to a large degree
mold the adjustment of all internal
disputes
1t was decided by the mediators and
delegates to postpone consideration
of the exact date when American
forces shall be withdrawn from Vera
v&'ruz. This, as well as the constitu-
ton of the provisional government il.
Mexico, will be protocolized after the
conferences between the constitution
alists and the Huerta delegates adj
journ
While the informal conferences are
in session Ambassador da Cana of
Brazil and possibly Minister Suarez
of Chic will take a short vacation.
A Triumph of Diplomacy.
Assurance that the constitutional
lists would be represented at the in
formal conferences came direct to the
mediators from Luis Cabrera, one of
the confidential representatives of
General CarranZa in Washington.
When a new provisional govern
meth is established to succeed that
headed by General Huerta, the result
of mediation-recognized as triumph
for Pan-American diplomacy-will be-
come effective.
Coincidentally with the action Just
taken it was announced that the Sc
lection of a provisional president, and
the organization of the new govern
ment, which is considered purely
internal problem, will be left to an in
fo<mal conference of representative
of the constitutionalists-L Cab
rera, Rafaela Zubaran and Jose Vas
concelos-and the delegates sent by
General Huerta to the mediation con-
ference.
Rebels Take Zacatecas.
Ell Paso, Tex.-Zacatecas, an impor=
tant city of Central Mexico, has fallen
into the hands of the constitutional
lists at shutdown. This was announced
by General Villas officials here. Two
of the rebel generals were wounded.

FLOOD in KANSAS
Heavy DoWnpour of Rain Turns
Stranger Creek into
Raging Torrent.
WHEAT SHOCKS SWEPT AWAY
Farmers Living in Low Places Forced
to Flee From Their Homes
Livestock Lost.

Atchison, Kan.-The downpour of
rain falling in a few hours in the vi
entity of Potter, twelve miles south
of Atchison, broke all records for
rainfall in this county and spread de
vastation down the fertile Stranger
creek valley
Whole fields of wheat were swept
away, corn fields ruined, much live
stock lost and some farmers forced
to flee from their homes.
Worst in Years
In more than fifty years the creek,
which flows across Atchison and
Leavenworth counties, emptying into
the Kaw at Bonner Springs, has never
been so high. Ordinarily quiet
stream a few yards across, it now
spreads over the valley in several
places more than a half mile wide,
and the damage to crops and other
property runs into many thousands of
dollars. Miles of the Santa Fe's pol
lywog line were washed out. AL
though the storm attained it's great
est severity at Potter, heavy Rims
were general over northeastern Kan
sas.
A violent downpour of rain lasting
five hours did much damage to crops
and demolished railroad traffic into
Atchison. The rainfall here was three
inches. seven inches at Vermillion
and five inches at COTS on the Gen.
trail branch. The rain did not extend
beyond Irving, about IS miles west of
here. From 10 o'clock at night until
late the next day trains on the Santa
Fee to Topeka and on the Missouri
Pacific, the Burlington and the Rock
Island to Kansas City, were annulled.
Tracks Are Washed Out.
On the Missouri Pacific a washout
occurred near Kickapoo, on the Bur
lington the tracks were washed out
at a point between Iatan and Park
vile, while high water badly damaged
the Santa Fe tracks this side of Val
ley Falls.
On the Central branch the rain did
much damage at Vermillion, COTS and
Netawaka and along the Grasshopper,
Delaware and Vermillion rivers, which
went out of their banks. Reports
show that seven inches of rain fell
south of Vermillion, accompanied by
heavy hail and resulting in a vast
amount of damage to wheat One
300-acre wheat field there is a total
loss. At Cummings, forty acres of
shocked wheat belonging to Charley
Tull was washed away and NJ. J. Laid
lost fifteen acres in the same way
The wheat loss in the Cummings
neighborhood is estimated at from
200 to 300 acres.

BUCKAROOES DEFEAT
PILOT ROCK, IS TO |
GAME STARTS WELL But DEVEIs.
OPS INTO SLAUGHTER IN
THE THIRD.

Pilot Rock Is staid old republican
town but she had dose of free silver
crammed down her throttle yesterday
afternoon when her diamond defend
ers fell before Al Lodell's Buckaroo
recruits in the first practice game of
the season by a ls to l score. Be-
tween $50 and zoe fans braved the
wind and dust to warm seats al
Roundup Park for the seven and one
hall innings of the fray, the game be-
ing called at that stage by common
consent of players spectators and um-
pire.
The game sarted out like a real one
but developed into a slaughter in the
third when the professionals solved
the mystery of Fischer's slants and
bruised them all over the lot. This
continued through the fourth and fifth
and then Fischer retired to maks way
for Tennyson who held the Bucks
scoreless in the last two innings.
Lodel used four pitchers and three
catchers in an endeavor to get line
on as many as possible. o'Dell work
ed the first three in the box. Kelly

seventh and Duff the eighth. O'Dell

ed, Pilot Rock loaded the bags and in
the third pusher over their lonesome
tally. However the big Portland kid
showed up well under fire and would
have extricated himself just as often
as he got in the hole but for Naught,
on's bad throw in the third which let
in the one run.
Peterson, the Pendleton thirdsack-
er who is one of the few leftovers,
was the hero of the game. His long
willow was very much in evidence. In
four trips to the plate, he walloped
out two houeruns and one three bag
ger which sent in three runners. All
of the Bucks showed up well with the
stick but of course they were not up
against the exact variety of pitching
that they will meet when the season
opens.
All together, the fans we're very
pleased with the showing of the
youngsters Lodell has gathered about
him and they concur in his opinion
that if the pitchers can deliver the
goods, the balance of the bunch can
be depended upon.
incidentally it might be remarked
that Pilot Rock has some team for
an amateur aggregation. They handle
themselves mighty we'll and 1t is safe
prediction that they will make a gall
liant fight for the Blue Mountain bunt-
