 ~ New London, Sept. 15.-Practs obstacles have arisen in the cona eration by the American Mexican joa commission here of numerous sH gestions for the pacif1cation of border which make 1t seem imprl able at this time that any agreemI can be formulated without proIond discussion. Major General Tasker Bliss, assistant chief of staff of army, was before the commission point out the objections that canl raised to many of the proposals, cluding that of an international cI of both countries of the border pad work they are now doing.
 The commission held only a bd session, the Mexican party planning leave for New York today to attd the celebration there tomorrow Mexicos great national holiday cd memorating the declaration of her dependence and the throwing off Spanish rule. They will return M day, when the conferences will be Sumed. .t
 Solution Based on Stable GoyernrHS While the attitude of General B l as expressed to the commission here has not been revealed, it is 1 lieved he shares the views of m 1 army officers familiar with the | der situation that no satisfactory lution can be found that is not ba l upon the establishment and maint ance of a stable government In M 1 ico.
 Even the project of forming a t der police force to be jointly supps ed by the two governments is O to the objection, it is pointed l that no matter what plan might employed to administer it's affairs direct its movements, its joint ch ! acter would be hard to maintain. l has been contended, also. that if , de facto government was str enough to give practical co-operat in the organization of the border lice, the need for such a force wo have passed, as Mexico could u take care of the situation within own borders herself.
 There can be no doubt that of the purposes of the Washington ministratton is to arouse Mexico the moral obligation that it is rests upon her to protect Ameri interests along the international lii from the depreciation of Mexican b. dits. For this reason it seems likely that any plan for policing { border will prove acceptable u seems to relieve her of that respc Sibility
