Niagara Falls, O11U4 June 10.?A, dangerous obstruction to progress onj a vital point in the mediation proceed- j ings has arisen which again threatens! failure for the negotiations. The United States has said to the mediators in unequivocal terms that it cannot consent to any method of transition from the existing regime to the proposed new provisional goverment that can be construed as recognition of Huerta's administration. The mediators are insisting that Gen. Huerta be permitted formally to makej the appointment of the man agreed! upon here for provisional president. This the American goverment absolu-, tely refuses to accept, not only because it is committed against recognition of Huerta. but because it has been informed by Constitutionalists1 that under no circumstances wyi they j Real Estate L Loans ?Insurance?,?We-s f of All KinHe afld D U Bonds Pho accept a peace plan which permits Huerta to exercise the constitutional function of naming his successor. On this point the mediators and the American delegates are blocked. Oneside must gi\e way before any advance is made. Some cf the principals have actually lost hope for settlement, but there is a growing confidence that the mediators will devise some method o: bridging the difficulty rather than allow mediation to founder on the rocks. Involved in the question of method' in choosing the new provisional presi-| dent is an underlying principle which j if not settled now, will certainly pro-! yoke other disagreements before any protocol can be signed. The Anieri-J can goverment is firm in its belief, that the Constitutionalists, having1 conqured the greater part of Mexico, j should be given the controlling share in the new government; that the Constitutionalists are moving for-! ward to undoubted conquest in Mexi-; Deposit yc T> JL X The Bank Cr\era.\* STRONGER THAN ALL OTHER IlJ y| ot compoi W Q in savir * /ill Not Accept rta Terms. oeeedinirs Has Arisin and Some of >I?e for a Settlement?I*.

American delegates, it is understood, have conceded the principle that none of the foremost military chiefs of the Constitutionlists or any who have been conspicuous in the Huerta government, should be provisional president. But they do not believe any progress can be made toward a settlement unless the man chosen is of Constitutionalist sympathies, broad-minded enough to be acceptable to the Huerta party. Unless the mediators find a way to straighten out the differences which have arisen, the proceedings will come to an abrupt end.

Lively Interchange. ; Senator Simmons of North Carolina r and Senator Borah of Idaho indulged ir< a lively interchange over the compromise amendment of which the for1 mer was the joint author with Sena[ tor Norris, of Nebraska. . "Does the senator mean to say in . his amendment that the United States has a right to discriminate in favor of its ships?" asked Senator Borah. "The amendment I have introduced is one of reservation of right; it asserts no right of the United States in the canal, but reserves any right we may have in the premises." replied Senator Simmons. "The Sutherland amendment asserts that the United, ' plates have a right to exempt its cit-j J izen's ships. That raised a square! J issue for us to decide. The senator ' well knows senators are divided on! ! this issue. Senator Borah declared he could j not see how any one who stood with j the president when he said that the. exemption act was a plain violating of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty could voter to reserve any rights the United j< States "may have." ] Senator Simmons replied that he! himself believed the treaty was vio lated by the law, yet he recognized ,the fact he might be mistaken, i "Oh. the senator must be certain in i his court of conscience," insisted i ] senator Boarh.

"Does the senator know that Presi-N dent Taft. after deciding the law. did not violate the treaty, expressed a ! willingness to arbitrate?" i "It /ould make no difference to me .if tie repeated that 2b times." the Ida- 1 i ho senator retorted. < Senator Williams suggested that . 'even the President, while he had no J doubt in his mind, would recognize that others had doubt on the ques'ion.
