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

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-;

concession should be made
which will make their acceptance of
the peace plan possible. 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.

! HISTORIC DEBATE ON PANAMA
CANAL TOLLS

Accept it.
Washington. June 10.?The long, |
[historic debate over the repeal of the:
Panama tolls exemption was in its '
last stages today when the senate re-1
sumed work with the prospect of final'
voting before adjournment tonight.
Adminstration leaders claimed the
repeal would pass by a safe majority, j
First in order for voting came the!
> amendments to the repeal bill as it
passed the house. The principal one,
a compromise between senate Demo,
crats and Republicans, qualifies the
repeal with the reservation that it j
shall not be construed as a waiver of I

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. I
! "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.
"1 challenge any man to rise here
land say that the President approves
lot' this amendment," insisted Senator
I Borah. "His party is putting him in
a position where he must either com
