MEXICO CITY, July 20.-The details of MeXicos proposals for a peaceful
 solution of difficulties, with the
 United States were made public to-
 night by the foreign office when
 copy of the note was sent to the
 Washington government July II was
 given to the newspapers for publica-
 ton in tomorrow morning editions
 The note suggests the naming of
 three commissioners by each govern
 ment. the commissioners to meet at
 some neutral point to discuss the question of withdrawal of the Ameri-
 can troops now in Mexico and the drawing up of an agreement providing terms for the reciprocal crossing of the frontier by the troops of either nation and the investigation of the origin of the parties who have raided American border towns for the purpose of def initely fixing responsibility for them. In commenting on the note tonight, foreign office officials said that as it had not yet been answered by the Washington government they consid cred it their duty to the Mexico peo- | pie to make it public that MeXicans might know what effort their govern ment was making toward a peaceful solution of the pending difficulties.
 It has been learned from unofficial l sources that the conference probably 1 will be held in Niagara Falls. The

DELAY CAUSING

LONDON, July 2O.-John Redmond, the nationalist leader made public to- day a memorandum which he sent to Premier Asquith and David Lloyd George, the secretary for war on Tues day in which he declared that the de lay in making public the text of the Irish bill and the irritation caused by Lord Lansdowne's recent speech had created a very serious situation in Ire land He adds:
 Tn my opinion any further delay whatever in producing and proceeding with the bill will make a settlement on the lines laid down in the terms sub mitted by Mir. Lloyd George quite inn possible When these terms were originally submitted to us we were strongly urged to use all possible dis patch in consulting our supporters in Ireland. It was pressed upon us that the matter was one of extreme urgency that from all points of view it was vit- al that the settlement should be pushed through quickly, and we were told that not only Irish but great inn perial interests we erat stake.
 "It is now more than three weeks since we did our part and obtained the assent of our friends in Ireland in the face of very great difficulty as the pro- | posed terms were far from popular Since then little or no progress has | been made and for some mysterious reason the matter, which five weeks | ago was so urgent, now hangs fire. l q therefore, feel it my duty to urge upon the government that further de- !,lay will be fatal and place on record
 my conviction any proposal to depar l from the terms agreed upon, especially
 in respect to the strictly temporary
 provisional character of all the sec tions of the bill, will compel us to de
 clare that the agreements, on the faitl
 of which we obtained the assent of oui
 supporters in Ireland, has been depart
 ed from and is at an end"
 A meeting of the Irish party hal
 been summoned for Saturday when tn
 situation will be taken under consider

names of the Mexican delegates have not yet been made public, but it is known that they will all be civilians, and that the chairman of the com mission will be a member of General CarranZa's cabinet well known in fi- nancial circles in the United States. It is believed that the conference will convene early in August. The note which the foreign office says the United States has never answered is directed to Eliseo Arredondo, General CarranZas agent at Washington. It follows:

 FL PASO, July 20.--Reports were circulated in Juarez tonight that the Carrazna garrison at Toreon, Durango, 130 miles south of Parral, capitulated today to the main Villista band, led by the bandit chieftain. The rumors continued that Villa, riding in a coach, a crutch at his side, went into the town and received the surrender of the government commander. Neith- CT General Francisco Gonzales, com- mander of the Juarez garrison, nor General Geo. Bell, Jr, commandant here, were inclined to place any cred- ence in the story. General Gonzales said that the last reports of the prog res of the bandit campaign were con tained in press dispatches from Chi huahua City today.
 Arrivals from Chihuahua City today told of the Villa attack on Parral Il week ago last Sunday. This failed, they said, because one of the Villista leaders disobeyed orders. The Villa command, consisting of 600 men, was divided into two columns, which were to attack the city on opposite sides simultaneously. One column attack ed the town hours before the other, however, and was beaten off by the garrison, which recovered in time to hold the town against the assaults of the second column, according to the arrivals.
 General Gonzales and Andres Gar cia, Mexican consul to Fl Paso. ex- tended public invitation to the peo- | pie of Fl PasO today to attend mili- tary and civic kermesse to be held in JuareZ next Sunday for the purpose of raising funds for the benefit Of flood sufferers in the Querataro dis 1 trict in Mexico. It was announced also that all Mexican soldiers in northern Mexico had agreed to give ono days pay to the fund, while orders
 were sent to all Mexican consuls in the United States to contribute
 Manuel Bonilla, who was secretary of the interior under President Mad
 ero, in a telegram from New York
 received here tonight by his son Manuel Bonilla Jr., asked that a
 most emphatic denial' be given to the rumor that he was in New Yorl, in connection with the so-calleG
 "legalist" movement, with which the
 names of several well known anti
 Carrancistas have been connected.
 MT. Bonilla asked to have it stated
 that his visit was pruely persona
 and that he was out of Mexican

 Lord Cromer, who followed admit ted that the Marquis of Crewe's state ment changed the aspect of the de- bate. He did not desire to stir the embers of a rather heated controversy of a few years ago. He thought Kit chener had made a mistake in the mil itary changes he had introduced Tn ln- dia, and while it would be a great eX- aggeration to say that the misfortune of the Mesopotamia campaign was the outcome of these changes, and could not help thinking that they largely contributed to that misfortune.

DOUGLAS, Ariz, July 20-Jose Val enZuela, a Mexican admitted by his wife to be the slayer of Mir and Mrs William Parker at the Double Adobe ranch, 55 miles southeast of Hachita, N. NJ, early in June did not escape from the American civilian posse which trailed him into Mexico, but was killed in the wilds of Cajon Bo- nita, a mo mans land" between So- nora and Chihuahua. This statement reached here today from Hachita from an apparently authoritative but confi- dential source
 The posse returned with the state ment that Valenzuela had escaped when they captured his wife and her | uncle who had been his travelling companions. The story of the finish of the chase generally believed in Ha- chita is that several members of the posse held the woman while the rest pursued her husband, bringing him tC bay several miles further in the can yon killing him.
 | From the same source it was learned
 that Yalenzuela's wife had confessed | to members of the posse that her bus band had been a soldier with Villa anC had been instructed by his chief no
 to rejoin his band until he had killed

 jeans he could. That was the under

 WASHINGTON, July 20-President Wilson was the guest of honor tonight at the annual banquet of the National association of Postmasters. Several cabinet officers, also were present The annual convention, which virtually concluded it's formal business with re- election of officers, will close tomor- row.
 In an address at the afternoon ses- sion, Anthony Caminetti, commissioner of immigration, urged cooperation of postmasters with the labor depart ment's employment bureau.
 If each postmaster will cooperate" he said i've will have a free employ ment bureau in every little town and hamlet. The postoffice should be a place where every citizen should come to do his business with his Uncle Sam" and every citizen who wants job or who has a job to give" The philosophy of his political faith, which he termed service and unself- ishness," was lelineated by President Wilson tonight in an address to about 700 postmasters, virtually all his own | subject of peace, but only to say that in no other country are the processes of peace so free to move"
 Introduced by Postmaster Selph of | St. Louis, presiding "as the protector 1 of American citizenship" the presi- ! dent was given an ovation lasting more | than five minutes. In prefacing his remarks he said he understood his au- | ditors were virtually all democrats and | that, therefore, he was more free to say certain things than he night other ! wise have been.
 AS 1 look about upon you" the pres ident said q gather many of the i'm pressions of the last three years. Be- cause many things have occurred and the thing I have been most interested in is organizing this government for service of the country.
 Most of you, I am told, if not all of you, bear commissions from the pres ent administration. That sets me free to say some things that 1 might not otherwise"
 When he started a sentence a moment later with eff you're all democrats he was drowned out by cries of i've are; we are"
 There is only one way of holding the confidence of the American public, the president resumed, "and that is by deserving it and l know by my inter course with the postmaster general his single object has been to make the postoffice of more service to the peo- pie of the United States than it ha: ever been before.
 q have no interest in the politica party, except as an instrument o achievement. 1 cannot imagine how man can be interested in a party tha has no aspirations and a program tt be worked out. 1 inherited my democ racy. But it wouldn't stay in my blood long if the red corpuscles didn't hav' something to do.

companion, Enrique Pima, were on American territory when the first two shots were fired at them by Tucker when they had refused to obey his command to halt. The last three shots were fired after they had reached Mex ican soil. It is supposed to have been the last shot which wounded Rodri- gueZ.
 The Mexican government was rep resented at the hearing by an attor- ney, who presented official transcripts of evidence taken by the Mexican au- thorities in their investigation. The coat, shirt and undershirt of Rodriguez all showing the bullet hole, diagram of the scene of the shooting made by a Mexican engineer and purporting to show that Rodriguez and Pima were fifty yards south of the border when the first shot was fired, were intro- duced in evidence.
