Ell Paso, Texas.,-Advices from
Mexico City and Washington were
awaited today to set their seal of ap-
proval upon the provisional agree
ment that is understood to have been
reached at an informal conference
between General Scott and General
Obregon.
The conference was not ended until
after midnight and the two conferees
emerged from the meeting place in
rare good humor. Scott went imme-
diately to his private car and arrang-
ed for the dispatch of the coded mes
sage to Washington.
Neither Scott nor Obregon would
talk of the deliberations.
Conferees Progress.
Ell Paso, Tex.-Marked progress
toward an. agreement was made yes
terday by the American and Mexican
ccnferees, according to unofficial but
authoritative advices. 1t is believed
now the matter may be threshed out
in the next day or SO. This pro-
gress was due to the fact that Gen
eral Obregon had concluded there
was no possibility of altering the In
tention of the Washington govern
ment not to withdraw General Per-
shing's forces Immediately.
CarrallZa Has Plans.
From Mexican sources it was learn
cd that, based on the immediate
withdrawal Of the American troops,
General Carranza had offered through
his two representatives to place an
active army of 25, 900 men in North
ern Mexico as soon as the Americans,
are withdrawn. The offer was accom-
panied by assurances that more than
half of this force would be. SO placed
as to guarantee border towns, from
future bandit raids, while the remain
der would be used in vigorous, pur-
suit of bandits until the whole terri
tory had been absolutely cleared.
Officials still maintain silence. as
to the nature of the new instructions
to General Scott.

AWAITING TEXT
For Examination by Wilson,.
Washington Won't Tol-
crate Side Issues.

Berlin, Germany.-Thc draft Of the
German reply to the American nose
has uetn finished. The reply is sub
ject tc ls,Ecr alterations which may
result from the interchanges between
Berlin and general headquarters. The
attitude of Germany will be stated
in clear and precise terms.
The note will leave no room for
doubt concerning the exact position
assumed by Germany, which will
communicate the definite nature of
the instructions that will be given to
the submarine commanders and 9TH
er data on which Washington itself
can judge suitably.
The Associated Press was permit
ted today to make these statements,
although the censorship on dispatches
tending to reveal the tenor of the
German reply is still effective. The
date of delivery OF the answer has
not been fixed.
Washington Feels Optimistic.
Washington, D. C.-The announce
ment from Berlin that new and def
mite instructions are to be given to
German submarine commanders is
the first positive indication of how
Germany will attempt to meet Presi-
dent Wilson'S demand that she de-
clare and effect an abandonment of
the present methods of submarine
warfare. Whether the new instruc-
tfons will meet the terms of the last
American note and thus prevent
break in diplomatic relations, can
only be determined by close and care
full examination.
President Wilson is represented by
those closest to him as unshaken in
his determination that the issue is
not negotiable; that settlement cam
not be delayed by the discussion of
side issues such as the British block
ade and retaliatory measures; that
the controversy between the coun-
tries can proceed further in diplom-
acy only if Germany effectively stops
the destruction of ships without
warning and takes measures to bring
her submarine operations otherwise
within the confines of international
law.
Won't Tolerate Diversion.
With the declaration that such or
ders have been given and evidence
that they will be carried out in good
faith, the president will be willing to
discuss the conduct of submarine war
fare, but only upon that basis. There
is no relaxing of the determination
that the issue cannot be further de-
layed and complicated by related is
sues which take the discussion afield.
Until this morning Germany's de-
lay in making a reply and the absence
OF any definite report from Ambas-
sador Gerard, have lead the Ameri-
can officials to fear that the Berlin
foreign office was planning to- send
an answer which the United States
could not consider other than incon-
elusive and therefore unsatisfactory.
The news that new instructions to
submarine commanders will be an
nounced has served to encourage the
hope of a favorable outcome of the
long dispute but all decision is being
reserved until the newest German
communication can be analyzed and
thoroughly considered.
Until the president has had an op-
portunity to consider it fully and
finally. no one can say whether it will
meet the requirements of the United
States or avert a diplomatic break.

AT LEAST TWO DEATHS
in RIOTS YESTERDAY.

Pittsburgh, Pa-Two men are
known to have been killed, four
probably fatally wounded and score
of others seriously hurt yesterday af
ternoon when a mob, said by the au-
thorties to have been composed prin-
cipally of foreigners, attacked the
Edgar Thompson works of the Car
negie Steel company in Braddock.
A pitched battle lasting an hour
followed, during which 400 shots
were fired, but the rioters were fin
ally forced to retreat in the face of
a deadly fire from the riot guns and
revolvers of deputy sheriffs and
plant guards. District Attorney R.
H. Jackson announced that he would
take steps at once for the deporta-
tion of all foreigners connected with
the trouble.
Day of Disorder.
The riot was the climax of day
of disorder in the borouglfs of Brad
dock and Rankin, during which mobs
stormed the plants of four big steel
companies, drove the worlmen out
and then partly wrecked the interior
of the plants.
Many of those injured in the fight
ing at the Edgar Thomson works
were spirited away by the rioters
and for hours after quiet had been
restored injured continued to be
brought to hospitals for treatment.
Shippers hidden in doorways and
windows near the Thirteenth street
entrance tried to pick off deputies
who were fighting to hold back the
mob and two deputies were said to
have been hit. Women also joined in
the fight to gain entry to the works
and two of these were wounded. The
two men killed were foreigners.

Washington, D. C.--As the result
of a conference between President
Wilson and Senator Husting Of Wis

ably will make an investigation to
uncover the influences responsible
for the sending of thousands of tele-
grams to senators and representatives
last week, urging that no action be
taken leading to war with Germany.

neighbors have concluded the man is
insane, both because of the violence
of his lovemaking and his hatred for
the filthy weed.

will be taken by the rOck-ribbed

One Of the strong points brought
out by the Democracy hinges on the

been opened yet, and as it Is expect
ed there will be ready and vigorous
response.
The Republicans have established
headquarters in Clarksburg and will
have a branch in Charleston within
Il short time. The foundation has
been laid for the campaign and
everything is in readiness to start
stumping the state by prominent par
ty men, not later than September 49,.
Arrangements have been made for
the introduction in West Virginia Of
number Of eminent Republicans

Republicans Open Eight With
Many Technical Advantages

between the major parties
West Virginia Is normally Repub-
lican by at least 10000. MajorIties
have been cut down considerably
through past internal differences with
which the party has had TO contend,
but now, according to the wisacres,
and the students of the peculiar
brand of politics indigenous to West
Virginia, there Is little TO fear from
any inside dIsarrangcmenls.
1t Is an uphill fight for the Demo
Gratis to win under any circumstances
in the state by their own endeayor.
Their whole hope rests in dissension
within the ranks of the opposition,
and that Is a condition, with which
the Republicans say they will not con
tend this fall, although il is fact
that there are some who have voted
the Republican ticket in recent years
who declare they are not with the
ticket this time. The number Of
these, however, Is not considered OF
suniicnt Importance to arouse con-
Germ.
In thirty counties Of the nfty-hye
Republicans have substantial major
tiles and among these counties are
the majority Of those entitled to
more than one or two members of
the House Of Delegates, For the
Democracy to gain majority on
Joint ballot in the Legislature, it will
have to elect forty-siX members. and
unless there should be a Democratic
landslide nationally there is appar-
entity little chance for them to do so.
The Republicans may look for
great things in such counties as
Kanawha, Tyler. ohio, Preston,
Roane, Raleigh, Richie, Upshur and
others. On the other hand the DEM
ocrats may look for big help in the
counties Of Pendleton, Wetzel
Wayne, Webster, Greenbrier, and a
number OF others, but il is not be-
lievcd that the vote they will poll in
their banner counties will be any
larger than that polled in 1912 and
only a little greater than that polled
In 1914
There are a number Of doubtful
counties. Including Monongalia, Cab

from these the claims are varied. It
is difficult to tell at this time how

PREACHERS URGING THE
ELECTION OF WILSON

Congressman Arthur B. Rouse,
Chairman of the Speakers Bureau
of the State Campaign, continues to
secure the best speakers in the
country for Kentucky and they are
arousing the people to the impor-
lance attaching to the approaching
election. Among the last he has Sc
cured are Gov. Yeager of Porto Rico
and Congressman GARRETT of Ten
nessee.
Several preachers have volunteer
ed their services, one of them being
the Rev. Edgar c. Riley, of Boone
county. prominent pulpit orator of
the Christian Church, who spoke at
Murray in Galloway county and will
speak at other points. He is so i'm
bued with the conviction that Wilson
should be reelected to continue to
keep the country out of war with
honor. that he regards it a religious
duty to urge the people to retain
him in office.
