NEGOTIATIONS MEET
REAL OBSTACLES
Early Agreement with Mexico
Over Pacification of Bor-
der Seems Improbable.
MANY ISSUES ARE RAISED

New London, Conn.,, Sept. IS
Practical obstacles have arisen in the
consideration by American-Mexican
joint commission here Of numerous
suggestions for the pacificationy Of
the border which make it seem im-
probable at this time that any agree
ment can be formulated without pro-
longed discussion.
Major General Tasker H. Bliss, as
sstant chief of staff of the army, was
before the commission today to point
out objections that can be raised to
many Of the proposals, including that
OF an international constabulary to
relieve the military forces Of both
countries OF the border patrol work
they are now doing.
The commission held only bfief
session, the Mexican party planning
to leave for New York today TO at
tend the celebration there tomofrow
Of Mexico's national holiday COM
memorating the declarationVof It's in
dependence and the throwing off OF
Spanish rule. They will return Mon
day, when the conference will be re-
sumedy
While the attitude OF General Bliss
as expressed to the commissioners
here has not been revealed, 1t Is be.
lieved he shares the views OF many
army officers familiar with the border
situation. that no satisfactory solu-
ton can be found that is not based
upon the establishment and mainte-
nance Of stable government in Mex
leo.
Move to Amend Constitution.
Mexico City, Sept. ls.--Gencral
Carranza's purpose in issuing last
night call for the election Of dele
gates to a general assembly to con-
slider changes in the constitution are
set forth in the preamble Of the de-
cree now made public here.
The preamble refers to the plat
form OF the constitutionalists as set
forth In the plan of Guadcloupe,
adopted in 1918 before the downfall
of General Huerta, and elaborated at
Vera Cruz in 1914, and says that il
shows clearly that the program of
the constitutionalists provided that
when their cause was triumphant and
municipal elections had taken place,
the first chief should call for the elec-
ton of a congress, give an account of
his administration and have his ac-
tions ratified of modified by the con-
gress. He was then to call presi-
dental election and turn over the
executive power to the legally elected
president.
The enemies Of the constitutions
alists," General Carranza continues,
'have omitted nothing to prevent the
carrying out Of the program, even
going SO far as TO imperi the dignity
of the republic and endanger its SOW
ereignty by provoking conflict with
a neighboring republic seeking to
bring about Intervention on the pre-
text that there was no protection for
the lives and properties OF foreign
crs. They even pretended to seek in
tervention for humanitarian consid-
erations."
Then follow the provisions deter
mined upon by General Carranza to
carry out his purpose. The election
OF delegates 10 the constitutional as
sembly will be held October Is. Busi-
ness sessions will begin December |
and will be limited to two months. As
soon as constitution is adopted a
presidential election will be arranged
and the assembly will be dissolved.

library.
Mrs. Stone quotes her husband as

STEAMSHIP WINS
RACE WITH FIRE
Captain Of Pacific Liner Con-
gress Succeeds in Saving
Passengers and Grew.
VESSEL is A TOTAL LOSS

Marshfield, Ore, Sept. 15.--The Pa
cific Coast Steamship company's liner
Congress swung on its anchor chain
at the entrance to Coos bay today, a
black and burned out hulk as re-
suit of the fire which caused it to
race for this port last night. Every
one of the 25S passengers on board
and the crew of Us were landed
safely last night by tie dredge Col
onel P. S. Niche.
Several members of the crew who
were overcome by smoke were all re-
ported early today to be recovering.
None Of the passengers appeared to
have suffered any i'll effects what
ever and they were loud in their
praiseof the way the vessel was man
aged, Order was maintained ON
board up until the departure Of the
last boat load from tie Congress to
the Niche, which came alongside
when the burning vessel was envel-
oped in pail OF smoke.A
Purser Holser said he was unable
to bring the valuables out of the
ships safe. There was $4,000 of the
cokpany's money on board, and the
crew was to be paid today. Besides
this money there was probably an
equal amount Of money and valuables
belonging to the passengers in the
safe.
The skill with which Captain
Counsins brought his vessel to an
chor off strange harbor was en-
largcd upon here today by marine
men as an unusual feat in seamanship
Members of the crew who were
about the bride tell Of the great calm
ness which the skipper showed. Until
the last he hoped to save the ship,
but when Chief Engineer MARYLAND
was brought from below half un-
conscious as a result Of heroically
staying by his engines, the captain
realized that nothing more could be
done and ordered the vessel to be
abandoned.
Loss Over Two Millions.
All the ships papers and valuables,
it was confirmed today, were burn
ed. These valuables, estimated as
worth $4,000, together with the YES
sells cargo, valued at about an equal
amount, probably will bring the to-
tai loss to $2,100,000. The original
cost of the Congress was $l,250,000,
but on account of the war yalua-
ton of $2009,000 has been placed on
the vessel. Virtually nothing remains
for salvage, although the hull may be
saved and the ship rebuilt.
The cause OF the fire remains a
and probably will not be def
initely established. The fire was dis
covered in the second steerage, smoke
being observed issuing from this part
OF the vessel, and ,none of the crew,
who battled with the flames, succeed
ed in reaching the point Of origin or
even definitely locating the exact spot
whence the flames came.
Captain Nahum E. Cousins OF the
Congress, for thirty-seven years a
navigator on this coast, holds dia-
mond medal presented by his employ
ers for subduing fire on the steam-
er Queen in 1904. At that time Cous-
ms put his passengers oversize in
life boats while the crew put the fire
out. Then he re-enlbarked the pas.
sengers and made his destination.
A year ago he married Miss Julia
Kirby of Minneapolis, whom he met
aboard the Congress.
