for the cessation of hostilities Obre.

Il have received the message which
was sent inviting us in the name of
group OF Mexican refugees there, to
drop our arms. Those who have the
valor to offer blood for the republic
do not put down their arms. We will
not put down our arms while there

DIPLOMATIC CORPS PLANNING TO
LEAVE AFFAIRS IN CHARGE
OF CONSULAR OFFICERS.
Rapid Change in Executive Authority
CauIed Embarrassment, and ReIa-
tons Between Ministers and
Carranxa Are Strained.

gton--Withdrawal from Mex
leo City Of many foreign legations is
imminent because of friction between
the Carranza government and the dip
lomatic corps.
Some of the prominent diplomatic
representatives of European countries
already have cabled their home gov
ernments suggesting that inasmuch as
communication is growing more and
more restricted and little respect Is
given the by the Carranza authorities,
1t might be advisable to unite with
other governments In a movement to
abandon all foreign legations in Mex
leo.
AS the American embassy has been
closed since the rupture with the
Huerta government, the action on the
part OF the other diplomatic missions
is being considered without consult
ing the United States, SO far as Is
known.
The plan of the diplomatic corps in
Mexico City. which is understood to
be acting as a unit, is to leave affairs
in Mexico In charge OF consular Of
ficers. This would mean practically
severance of diplomatic relations by
all countries and present unique
status for Mexico in the family of ma
tons
The situation In the Mexican capital
has been replete with diplomatic en-
barrassments since the rapid changes
in executive authority ensued. When
General Carranza, in his capacity as
first chief of the constitutional army,
first abandoned Mexico City and
moved his capital to Vera Cruz, he in
vited the diplomatic corps to accom-.
pany him. The diplomats declined
asserting that such step might be con
strued as recognition OF his govern.
ment. Since then the relations be-
tween them and Carranza have not
been cordial.

HOUSE SUSTA|NS
PRESIDENTS VETO
CAUSES DEFEAT OF THE I'M
MIGRATION BILL.
Party Lines Swept Away In Fight
Which Lasted Five Hours, But
Five Votes Being Necessary
to Turn Tide.

Washington.-By the narrowest OF
margins, following debate in which
the floor leader urged all Democrats
to override the objection OF the presi.
dent, the house of representatives
late Thursday voted to sustain the
veto Of the Burnett immigration bin.
The final count showed that the pro-
ponents of the bill, who numbered
261, lacked FIVE votes of the two-thirds
necessary to put the measure through,
despite the veto. Those voting against
the bill numbered 1876, with two. Rep.
resentatives Kahn OF California and
STEVENSON OF Minnesota, answering
present" to their names because they
were paired.
The consideration of the bill occu-
pied five hours. Just before the vote
was taken, Floor Leader Underwood
urged the house to override the veto,
while Representative Moore of Penn
sylvania, charging that the sentiment
throughout the country which has ap.
peared in favor of the bill was manu-
featured by organized labor, begged
his colleagues, to support the presi-
dent. And in this manner. through
the debate and voting, vert party
lines swept into the discard.

Washington. Attorney General
Gregory has notified all United states

the imposition or execution of sen.

Nor may a court exercise 1t indirectly,

similar device.
This custom has been the cause OF
