solution OF differences existing with
the United States were made public
tonight by the foreign office when a
copy of the note sent to the Washing

ing up Of an agreement providing
terms for the reciprocal defending OF
the frontier by the troops Of either

American border towns for the pur-
pose of definitely fixing responsibility
tor them.
1t has been learned from official

held in Niagara Falls. The names oi
the Mexican delegates have not ye,
been made public, but it is known
that they will all be civilians, and
that the chairman of the commission

lieved that the conference will con-
vene early in August.
