The lailure to adopt a a part of the scrieme of pacification the condi lions agreed upon by the conference held, ot February 20. while accepting the idea of giv ing half to each faction, opens the whole ques 1 ion, and will, I tear, destroy in a large inea* ure the chances of having the conventtoi elected without a struggle between the fac tions.
