Wilson Takes Up ~~ | Peace Conference. But Washington Administration Still Hopes That Dictator Will In Some Way Fali of His Own Accord. With all the world informed of his position, and with many indications that he has enlisted the moral sup port of the important European pow- ers, Presiden! Wilson is waiting for a development in the Mexican situation whick will give him an opening to; carry out the course of action which! he believes will result in the elimins ' tion of jeneral Huerta. i It is still the hope of the adminis | tration that Huerta will, in some way, | fall of his own accord. There is, how- | ever, no indication of any intention! on Huerta's part to disappear from the, situation without the application of force. If this condition continues! President Wilson will be compelled to) act. There is reason for believing that | a decision has been reached that the most effective way of forcing Huerta! out will be the establishment of a; blockade of all Mexican ports. It is’ suggested that there might be estab- lished *“‘floating custom houses,” con: sisting of American warships lying off | Mexican ports and collecting duties | from igcoming ships, which would! then be permitted to disembark car | goes, all “munitions of war” being sedulously excluded. President Wilson's cabinet stands firmly behind him in his efforts to] force the retirement of Huerta as a! necessary step to the pacification of | Mexico. For more than two hours the | cabinet discussed every phase of the! Mexican situation, and the consensus of opinion was that the government | should not take a single backward step. Though the secretaries were reti-| cent afterward about expressing their | views, it became known that they all favored steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was in| earnest in its demand that he elimi- | nate himself, There is 2 hope on the part of the | president and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting ex- portations of arms for the rebels may | not be required to solve the problem. That President Wilson might possi. ! bly issue a statement in a day or two! making a comprehensive explanation! of the purposes of the United States was indicated. it is reported that in this connection | the president may announce the repu- | diation in advance of any acts of the new congress, which General Huerta has said would be convened Nov. 20. The attitude of Europe is far more | satisfactory to the administration thon | it has been since the beginning of the | present phase of the Mexican situa tion last summer. The Guilhall speech of Premier Asquith is distinctly grati- | fying. : England's attitude has finally been! clearly defined, and its character is, friendly. Heretofore there has been | keen dissatisfaction with the course followed by Great Britain, principally | because it had so much to do with in- spiring Huerta with courage to defy the United States. : The administration has given to Eu. | rope a full and complete explanation | of all that has been done, and has, it! is understood, outlined a future course, | at least to the extent of saying that this government would take some defi nite action. Informing the world of its motives and the more interested nations of its | intentions in the premises is regarded as a preliminary to definite action. It | can be stated that if the president can | solve the Mexican problem to his own | satisfaction as well as that of other’ nations interested without intervention ' with force he will assuredly do so. EARTHOUAKE KILLS 150 | Many Die In Peru When Sugar Plants | Are Razed.

Democrats Hope It has become known that the profits : to the government from the operation for Money Bll; of the new parcel post system during | the calendar year 1913 would be about $30,000,000. The new system became effective on | Jan. 1 last. It was estimated that the profits for the first year v «'1 he! about $15,000,000, but the »: ~ , fig. ures now in possession of posial offi i cials convince them that the profit, in. ©B¢e Was suddenly halted on assur stead of being $15,000,000, will be $30, 000,000 for the first vear. This will be interesting news to the railway officials, who have been con- tending that their roads were entitled | to extra remuneration for carrying the malls, on account of the operation of ! the parcel post. It was learned from a reliable quar-! ter that, even assuming that the con- tention of the railroads was correct, there still would have been a good | margin of profit at the end of the cal ' endar year 1913, after the payment of | exetra remuneration to the roads. i If a parcel post adjus:ment were made along the lines suggested by | some of the railroads, probably not more than $10,000,000 of this $30,000, | 000 would he due to the railroads as extra pay. The total income from the parcel post for 1913 will be around | $80,000,000.

One hun- dred thousand men will share in the increase. Under the federa' law, which gov- erned the arbitration proceedings, the decision will be filed in New York in the United States district court. The board of six arbitrators, two representing the railroads, two for the | men and two “neutral” began their work in New York Sept. 11. Thus ends, by arbitration under the Newlands amendment to the Erdman act, a controversy that threatened at one time to tie up by a strike the transportation facilities of all states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river. The award of the arbitration com- mission, filed in the federal district court, is binding and final. The two board representatives of the employes filed a minority report in addition and the two representatives of the forty- one railroads a dissenting opinion. In reaching its award the board rul- ed mainly aaginst the employes on four out of five points submitted as reasons why the increase should be granted and found for them on the fifth--the increased cost of living. Since 1909, when last an increase was granted, the arbitrators found that the cost of living has increased seven per cent. Certain minor conditions em- braced also were conceded to the em- ployes. It was, therefore, more than a coincidence that the increase grant. ed in wages Is exactly the increase in the cost of living, as outiined by docu- ' ments introduced by the employes. “The board does not found its action ' entirely upon the increased cost of | living,” reads the award, a document of seventy-five printed pages, “though , it looks upon this as basic.” Destroys Stock of Drinks.
