AMERICANS WILL INSIST THAT
RECOGNITION IN NEGOTIATIONS

Administration Believes That Terms
of Peace for Mexico Which Will
Not be Permanent Peace Will be
Worse Than Useless.

Washington.-Ever indication in
Washington points to prolongation OF
the Mexican mediation negotiations at
Niagara Falls. That the Washington
government desires the Mexican con
stitutionalists represented in the pro
ceedings tending for peace is I'M
doubted. The view of the administra-
ton is said to be that terms of peace
for Mexico which will not be per
manent peace are useless.
Administration leaders, cognizant OF
this view, reiterated Saturday their
oft-expressed confidence that the me
dition conference would not adjourn
until the pathway to an adjustment OF
the differences between Huerta and
the United States and the internal
conflict in Mexico had been cleared.
In circles close to the administra
tion it was declared the American
representatives at Niagara Falls con
ference had been instructed to urge
upon the South American mediators
the necessity of giving recognition tc
the constitutionalists forces in fran
ing a plan to compose the turbulence
of Mexico.

Rimoush, Quebec.-Piled in tiers in
two crowded pier sheds, 900 dead, un,
coffined bodies lie unidentified here,
grim evidence of the Empress Of Ire
land disaster. The work of identifi-
cation is slow and exceedingly diff
cult, the bodies are piled so close to-
gether, and not more than twelve have
been claimed
Side by side with the bent forms
of grimy stokers, silk-clad women with
ears and fingers bearing costly gems
are stretched, stark and stiff. Little
children are reposing peacefully as
if asleep, while the faces OF scores Of
men and women are distorted with ex-
pressions of the horror and fear that
held them as they were plunged to
their deaths.
Pent in the river hull of the lost
steamer, or floating down the icy st.
Lawrence must be two bodies for
every one resting here.
Dozens of the recovered victims are
entirely unclad, while the majority
are clothed in the few scant garments
in which they slept when the alarm
rang out. There are not enough
shrowds available and by far the
greater number Of the bodies lie as
they were picked out of the water.
The identifications thus far made
came in a rough way, sometimes by
jewels worn by the victims and some-
times by papers found in sea-soaked
wallets Around one mans neck was

carrying down with her hundreds of
passengers who stood on her slanting

their last cries choked in the engulfng

One Of the survivors, relating that
