It was added that this action was in spired by a sincere desire not to Jeop ardize mediation. : In diplomatic circles this was re garded as conclusive evidence that Huerta had placed the fate of his gov ernment and the settlement of the Mexioan problem fully in the hands ot his representatives at Niagara Falls. -. r Niagara Falls, Ont, June 8. Me diation passed safely, today, over the shoals of the threatened disruption. General Huerta came to the rescue. rescinding the order which he had Issued fora blockade at Tamplco, circumstance that had imperiled me diation and caused the gravest appre hension since the conference began. "The blockade Incident has been satisfactorily adjusted," was the an nouncement of the American media tors, as they entered the conference. "We have-received word from Secre tary Bryan, that the Spanish ambas sador had been notified by Huerta of the raising of the blockade." Justice Lamar said he was misin formed as to the reasons that had ac tuated Huerta. It was rumored that the Spanish ambassador in Washing ton, who is caring for Mexico's in terests In the United States, had been able, to make some arrangements whereby the Antillo would withhold her cargo of arms from the constitu tionalists. This could not be confirm ed. , ' ' Present Peace Plan. , The Americans presented .the peace plan they had drafted this morning. It was the same, practically, as that Introduced by the . Mexicans. Justice Lamar dictated the following state. ment, after the conference: , "The mediators : hflT'e heretofore submitted to us u complete plan, and we have now submitted to them our plan. The counter proposition con tains a number of points on which we have agreed, and also propositions on which there has been neither an agreement nor disagreement,.

The general peace plan was under discussion, as it had been decided as much progress as possible should be made, while word was being awaited from Carranza on the subject of constitutionalist repre sentation.

The Justice added that there was substantial agreement on the points discussed. He said he had no word from Washington about the attl tude of the constitutionalists.

Spain also has a grievance against the constitutionalists on ac count of the treatment of Spainards at Torreon. It Is the possible hostile attitude of Europe toward the constitutionalists, if they seek to carry out their present program, which Is today giving the mediation coliy hope that the con stitutionalists will enter the mediation, from which would result a provisional government that would have the ap proval of tho United States and which Europe might show no hesitancy in recognizing. Another factor regarded as encour aging was the appointment by Car Juarez, June 8. Rumors that many federals had ben executed at Chi huahua City recently, led to the state ment here today that without excep tion those who faced the firing squads were deserters or "reds," or former Madero irregulars, who had Joined the Huerta bands. Twenty-six were shot at Santa Rosa yesterday. Seven of these were for mer members ot the constitutionalist army and seven were bandits, accord ing to this announcement.

It Is believed by the treasury department that all the directors of the two classes named will have been selected at the end of three weeks and cer tainly within a, month. The duty of selecting class C, directors for the banks will then devolve; upon the federal reserve board, which is only partly organized. Two vacancies on the proposed board still remain. Pres ident Wilson and Secretary McAdoo have had seaeral secret conferences concerning the appointments and the list probably will be completed this week. Charles S. Hamlin, assistant secre tary of the treaslry. a New England man. is verv generally believed to be ranza of General Natera, to command iated for a place on the board, and the central division of the constltu-,H. Simmons. Is being discussed as tlonalist army, selected to advance a mpmber from the middle west. through central Mexico toward Mexico Offices will be established on the City. Natera is considered a conser-1 seCond floor of the treasury building vatlve, less likely to antagonize the,fnr ,hB fpderoi reserve board, adjoin Washington, June 8. President), Wilson is expected to accept the sen-J ate amendments to the Panama ex-1 emptlon repeal, bill specifying the United States does not waive its rightfl to exempt its own ships, but he4 does not feel that the senate will giver its assent to the repeal in "ungrudg-' ing measure," if it attaches the' amendments. ' , Mr. Wilson, In his talk with news-.-Paper correspondents today, took the stand that such legislation in no way waives the treaty rights, and he may accept the measure, although he de-l sired passage of the repeal without limitation. . , The president declined to discuss the) amended measure in detail, but ho did not hesitate to express his disap proval of the movement to attach qualifying phrases. With a final vote on the repeal bill expected before adjournment, the gen-' ate today resumed discussion of tha measurfc. Senator Polndeltter, pro gressive, In opposing the repeal, took the stand that the United ' States se cured and held title to the Panama, canal lands through negotiations in which Great Britain had no part, and that Great Britain had no rights . Jn.,Cwitral America wtifch tntwipd her people than Is General Villa. It Is understood here that should It be necessary ultimately to wind up the Niagara Falls conferences without consulting the constitutionalists, the unfinished subjects would be made the subject of a protocol, which would bind the United States to aid in the peaceful transition of the Mexioan government to that appointed to re ceive It. In that case, it Is said, the United Slates would rather have Nate ra than Villa at the capital of the con stitutionalists to go ahead with their program. Wont Agree to Truce. Washington, June 8. General Cnr- ranzas answer to tne meuiators is expected In official circles here to In cludo an expression of readiness to send delegates to Niagara Falls to dis cuss Internal affairs as brought In by the situation at Vera Cruz, but a re fusal to grant an armistice. This expectation Is based on unof ficial Information from source In close touch with constitutionalist au thorities. Whether such a compro mise will be acceptable to the media tors and the Huerta delegates remains to be seen, but th constitutionalists apparently believe their terms will ul timately be approved, particularly If the American delegates throw their in fluence In favor of It. Carranxa's proposition Is still unformulated and little expectation Is entertained In con stitutionalist sources here, that It will be put on the wire from Saltlllo, be fore Monday. Carranza, according to a message sent from Torreon Friday night, was then about to start for Sal tlllo, which would bring him to that clfy sometime today. According to In formation at constitutionalist head quartors, he Intends there to Issue a number of Important decrees, ons of them establishing Saltlllo as the pro visional capital, and th others relat ing to the reorganization of his cabi net, and that business. It Is thought will tsk precedence- of th drafting of th answer to the mediators.'- Quiet but decided, satisfaction Is manifested among tha constitutional ists hers over the arrival at Tamplco of ammunition on board tha American srhnoner Sunshine, of whlrh there was argent ned. Constitutionalists, wslt Ing with anxiety for arrival of ths schooner, rather welcomed the discus. ion over ma emnarso Question, wnicn . , .Continued oa Tage 11). j inn those of Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Wil liams.

W. Va., June 8. Coal operators and miners, of the Pome roy Ilend district, asxembled at Mason City today In the hope of settling the strike in that rart of the Kanawha field. Sven hundred men would be affected by the agreement. to exact any1 conditions from tha" United States in the building or con . duct of the canal. . Senate leaders expect to get through! with the tolls exemption repeal bill tonight, but the debate wearied mem bers will have only a few days' breathing spell. Already the way are prepared for anti-trust legislation,' and unlesr there is a change in plane the senate will be at the steady grlndi of discussing the interstate trade com-. mission bill. - - There Is tittle doubt that the voto on the tolls exemption repeal bill' will come late today. Senator O'Gorman, who has led the fight against the measure, expects a vote, and there are only two set speeches to be delivered before the action is demandd. -Through th agreement between the) forces of fiat repeal and the coalition of republicans and democrats who fa vor a qualifying amendment proposed by Senator N orris, there is every pros pect that the vote will be expedited. It was said that while an attempt un doubtedly will be made to pass a reso lution submitting the dispute with. Great Britain to arbitration that will wait until after the repeal bill la passed. The house Is through with anti-trust legislation, and will be hard at work on the appropriation bills and genenl legislation for some time to com. The passage of the tolls repeal bill with a senate amendment will revlvo the subject in the house, but It Is not believed that there, will be any great difficulty in getting that body to ao-. cept the bill as amended.
