May Accept Proposal.

washington, Sept. 10.-General
carranza's reply rejecting the Pan
American appeal for a peace con-
terence in Mexico was not unexpct-
ed For weeks IL had been known
that CarranZa' response would he
unfavorable but intimation had
reached Washington OF his purpose
TO ask for a meeting with represen-
tatives Of the conferees to discuss
international phases of the situation
and officials have indicated that such
as proposal would be favorabIy re-
ceived.
A meeting of the Pan-American
conferees is to be held within the
next few days to consider the re-
sponses to the appeal II was sug-
gested today that Carranza's proposi-
tion probably would be accepted and
that action upon the replies of Villa
and others who have agreed to +,
peace convention might be DELAYED
pending the outcome of conference
with Carranza
Such conference on international
phases as Carranza asks. il is point
ed out, might result in a general
discussion through which some
agreement for a settlement OF the
situation might be reached. The
progress which the Carranza mill
tary forces have made since the Pan
American conferees made their ap-
peal is expected to have a material
bearing on the negotiations.
The suggestion is made here that
even the matter OF provisional
government in Mexico could be re-
garded as an international question
inasmuch as all the principal gov.
ernments of the world have interests
at stake in that country and are
anxious to have turbulent conditions
there adjusted. The matter of
claims of foreign governments grow
Ing out of the revolution and the
ability OF the Carranza government
to afford protection to lives and
property OF foreigners would be SUBJ
jects for discussion.

swarmed in. A gold and crimson fan
hid her face from the profane eyes Of
American visitors. Joss sticks burned
in the window. sitting the evil odors
of the airshaft Alone with her
thoughts and the children with their
fingers sticky with wedding goodies, Au
Toy Yust passed her first welded al
ternoon. Lee Ling You paid no atten-
ton TO her He was very busy man.
The wedding feast yesterday was at
tended only by the women OF the Mott

feast for men. No informal picnic
around a gas stove for them. The best
rooms of Mott Streets sportiest cafe
have been reserved for the entire af-

been ordered. This will end the week of
ceremonies. which have cost the worthy
Lee Yick You anywhere from $4,000 to
Sll 900.
The splendor Of the festivities was
not confined to Mott Street alone. Lee
Ling You decided that all New York
must share with him in his bliss. One
had to draw the line somewhere at the
wedding feast, so only residents Of
Chinatown were invited As for the
