VOL. LVI—NO. 837 . NORWICH,: The Bulletin’s MEXICAN SITUATION LOOKS 600D Every Indication Points to Some Form of Participation of Constitutionalists in Mediation Conference DEFINITE KNOWLEDGE EXPECTED IN FEW HOURS Rumored That Rebel Chieftain May Not Consent to Armistice, But That He Will be Willing to Grant Establishment of Provisional Government Pending a General Election —President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are Hopeful of His Participation in Ultimate Plan for Peace in Mexico. Washington, June 9.—Every indica- tion in Washington tonight pecinted to some form of participation by the con- stitutionalists of Mexico in the media- tion conference at Niagara Falls tend- ing toward the settlement of interna- tional differences affecting the Huer‘a government as well as the internal troubles in the Mexican republic. Carranza Agents Await Final Word. Fina! word was awaited by his agents here from General Carranza as the answer to be forwarded to the South American mediators to their proposals and it was expected that the definite position of the constitutionalis:s would be communicated to Niagara Talls before many™hours. Some of those in touch with Carranza insisted tonight that the revolutionary leader would not consent to an armistice witn the Huerta government, but that he would express willingness to acquiesce in peace proposals for the establisi- ment of a provisional government pending a general election, provided ample representation is given the bel- ligerents in the new government. President Wilsen is Confident. Should Carranza refuse to agres to @ cessation of hostilities, it seemed improbable here that his representa- tives would be received in the media- tion conference. This however, failed to affect the optimism of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan as to the outcome of the Mexi- can difficulties. t for in great measure by the suggestion from Niagara Falls that whatever Car- ranza’s answer might be, the peace proposals being discussed between the Huerta commissioners and those from the United States would be jncor- porated into a protocol; that the medi- ation conference then would recess and that the United States government would undertake negottations with the eonstitutionalists with a view to pro- curing their consent to the provisional government proposal. Confer With Carranza’s Repressntatives ‘While the mediators and Mexicen delegates were in deliberation today on the peace plan formulated by the ‘Washington government, President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and John Lind, who represents the state depart. ment in negotiations with Carranza’ representatives here, were in conferc ence. Later Secretary Bryan declarcd; that both the president and himselt were very hopeful of participation by the constitutionalists in ultimats plans for peace in Mexico. UNITED STATES NOTY IN ACCORD WITH MEXICAN DELEGATES. Unwilling to Consent That Huerta be Permitted to Appoint Foreign Min- Niagara, Falls, Ont., June 9—The TUnited States I3 unwilling to extend recognition to a new provisional pres- ident if named according to the method prescribed by the Mexican contingency, | This was accounted | delegates, which is that General Hu- ,erta would appoint as minister ment. The Washington administration con- tends that if General Huerta is per- mitted to name the foreizn minister, who, by constitutional { would be elevated to tne presidency, even though the selection be made here, such an act would be construed as recognition of the Huerta gov- ernment. On this issue, the mediating pleni- potentiaries came to a flat disagree- ment late todal at a conference for consideration of the exact method by which the new provisional government in Mexico would be created out of the present regime succession, | American Delegates Argued in Vain. For more than two hours the medi- ators and American delezates argued {in vain and it was apparent when the conferences ended that what hither- | to had been considered a matter of de- tail had suddenly developed a snag. The Mexican delegates had not dis- | cussed the point at any length with | the mediators, when the latter took it up with the Americans. Although the three South American diplomats argued strongly from the Mexican viewpoint, there was good reason to { believe tonight that the Mexican dele- sates would not insist on this arrange- ment if they found the United States absolutely determined against it. | One of the Mexican delegates indi- cated that they regarded the form of transjtion as a technicality which could be dispensed with if the Ameri- can government found it impossible to agres to the method suggested by the Mexican delezate: | The mediators contended with { xehemence that the forms of the Mex- ican constitution should be preserved in the present instance. _ The Amer- ican delegates are understood to have poifited out that the constitutionalists | certainly would never agree to a plan {of transition which legalized Huerta's {status. Also the American govern- ment it was declared could not con- | sistently with previous course, extend what would be tantamount to recog- | nition if Huerta actually appointed his {own successor and that individual subsequently obtained recognition. i Possibility of a Compromise. There is a possibility that a com- promise method will be agreed upon. Pedro Lascurain, who was minister of foreign affairs when Premier Madero was assassinated could be reappointed to the cabinet, and succeed to the pro- visional presidency and then appoint as foreign minister the man who would be agreed upon by all parties for the new provisional executive. Lascurain is persona non grata with the constitutionalists but it is not be- lieved there would be objection from them to his brief tenure of office in order that the transition might be | constitutionally affected.

EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN CONVENTION AT BRIDGEPORT. Many Matters Proposed to be Act on at Today’s Session. Bridgeport, Conn., June 9—The Epis- copal diocesan convetion after listen- ing to the address of Right Rev. Bishop C. B. Brewster began the con- sideration of diocesan matters this afternoon, in St. John's church. The bishop presided and many matters were presented under the rules to be finally disposed of at the second ses- sion tomorrow. Rev. J. F. Plumb of New Milford, again served as secre- tary, with Rev. Henry Macbeth of Bethel, and Rev. W. H. Jepson of Bridgeport, as assistants. It was vot- ed on motion of Rev. Dr. F. W. Har- riman of Windsor, to accept the action of the general convention last vear placing the diocese in the First pro- vince which includes the other diocese of the New England states. Two amendments to the rules were accepted both offered by Dr. Harriman, changing terminology so that ‘“repre- sentative” to the general convention is changed to ‘“deputies” and the ‘words “missionary council” is changed choice of deputies to the provincial to “synod of the province.” Later Rev. Mr. Beardsley of New Haven pointed out that the rules do mot provide for convention or the choice of supple- mentary deputies and Dr. Harriman accepted a further armendment of the rules to cover these points and the convention adopted them. Reports made by Rev. Dr. Sam- uel Hart, the diocesan registrar, and by John H. Sage of Portland, the treasurer, the latter stating that total receipts of the vear were $6.359 and disbursements $4,165 leaving a bal- anee of $2,19. General W. W.

The change sent to the committes on canon.

Tonight the delegates attended a dinner at which Bishop Brewster pre- sided and the addresses were by Schuyler Merritt of Stamford; Rev, W. Stanley Emery, Vice recter of St, Paul’s, Concord, N. H. and Right Rev- Anthony Mitchell, bishop ef Aberdeen and Orney. TOLLS EXEMPTION CLAUSE > CONSIDERED BY SENATE.

Action withim the next day or two however, hardly can be avoided un- less there are unexpected develop- ments. The debate today for the most part followed the old lines Jaid weeks ago, but Senator Tillman of South Carolina made an unusual speech criticizing the president in vigorous terms for bringing the tolls issue before the i country at this time and endangering the chances of the democratic party in the congressional elections next fall. Senator Tillman announced he would vote for repeal only because he felt his state party convention had freed him from the tolls joker in the Balti- more platform. “It staggers my common sense and I have been unable to understand just’ why he projected the fight o nhis party at this time” Mr. Tillman said in discussing the president’s demand for repeal. “It is of great importance to the democratic party to control the house at the next election and I be- lieve the president should have kept quiet until that election was over. It would have been the best statesman- ship as well as the best politics to have done so.” This speech came at the close of a | day devoted to debate on the tolls | bill. OBITUARY. Harrison Landen.
