Before attempting in any way ro deal with the constitutionalist for- ces in Mexico, the three South Am- erican mediators let it be known that they are content to proceed to a bi-partite agreement between the United States and the Huerta gov- ernment. . The absence of delegates"represen- ting General Carranza is not regard- ed by the mediators as a serious de- triment to their efforts to settle the quedtions which led to the landing at Vera Cruz of American forces, now prepared to withdraw or ad- vance on Mexico Ciry, according to the outcome of the mediation here. Notwithstanding the military sue- cesses of the constitutionalists, the mediators are planning to bring about an agreement between the United States and the Huerta gov- ernment, expecting fo obtain acqui- escence by the consticutionalists at a later date and through separate negotiations.

One 'group, headed by Miss Sylvia Pankhiirst, reached a point almost across the deive from the palace, where mounted police surrounded the women and phiced Miss Sylvia and several of her comrades in custody. . The crowd at this point was so "dense that the attempts of the police to clear the drive were without suc cess until recourse was had to water sprinkling oarts, which ruined many of the fine of "the fashionable wo- nen tore who had gathered to watch the expected battle. This caused the police to lose their popularity with the ¢rowd, which up to that moment had cheered them. Several members of the House af Commons among the spectators de- nounced the police for not adhering to their promise to treat the women with gentleness. The police retorted that the women fought fiercely and leit them no other alternative, For \two hours after the' conclusion of the main battle the police: were engaged in: breaking 4p small groups of wo who had spread * over the SurToy district. ? ° ties were not numerous, consisting of a few broken heads, but much harm was done to the uniforms of the police and the dresses of, the women. < At no time were more than a cou- ple of hundred of women engaged in opposed to them was 1,500 police, Ah palace resembled more centre than the peace- ful home of royalty.

Jose Vasconcelos, now in Montreal on a _ finandial . mission for General Carranza, is understood to Le the man chosen to go to Niagara Falla. It was said, last night, by men in close touch with the constitutionalists that he would arrive there within the nel few days. 3 The (uestion oi taking this step has been the subject of several informal conferences between representatives. of the. constitutionalists and of the Wash- ington administration recently and if is understood that General Carranza ' It was reported on apparently reli! able authority, that another invitas tion may be sent to Carranza by the mediators to take formal pact in the mediation proceedings.

That the proceedings yesterday were premeditated' seems evident from the Tact that rumors were cur- rent at the beginning of the sitting that sone sensational movement was intended, and it was supposed that the whole opposition would walk out of the house. Apparently the outbreak was organ- ized by a small group of _die-hards who momentarily carried the majority of unionists with them. Every sign this morning shows that the re§ponsi- ble unionists bitterly regret {he dis- play of temper. Their while attempting to throw the blame on the government, admit the out- bieak was a terrible mistake. It is expected that parliament will meet in a chastened mood to-day, but the situation is such that anything may happen. The greatest danger ot the moment is the possibility of real Ulster disturbances. sult of the outbreak may be the re- signation of Speaker, Lowther, who considers his authority has heen open- ly flouted by a responsible opposition leader.
