BAN PUT OH HUERTA BY UNITED STATES WASHINGTON EMPHASIZES ITS PURPOSE NOT TO RECOGNIZE MEXICAN CONGRESS. THE POWERS ARE INFORMED Diplomats in Washington Cable Their Governments That Complete Break Is Near. Washington.—Developments in the Mexican situation here tended to em phasize a purpose on the part of the Washington government to refuse to recognize any of the acts of the new Mexican congress and brought to light the fact that serious consideration was being given by President Wilson to the question of permitting exportations of arms to all factions in the southern republic. ence with Senor Algara, charge d’af- encew itli Senor Algara, charge d’af faires of the Mexican embassy, during which, it is understood, he said the United States considered the election of congressmen equally as invalid as the voting for president and vice pres ident. The secretary summoned the minis ters from five Central American coun tries and outlined to them in general what had been done by the United States in its diplomatic parleys with the Huerta government. Cater he an nounced that he also had been in com munication with the diplomatic repre sentatives of the European powers and had informed them in general terms of the steps taken by the United States thus far. The state department made public Huerta's statement to the diplomatic corps in Mexico City, the burden of which was that the presidential elec tion would be installed; that the na tional legislature would soon resume the legislative powers which General Huerta had seen fit to assume during the interim between the arrest of the deputies for sedition and the induction of the new members of congress. $6,000,000 MORE AWARDED Arbitration Board Gives Employees About Half What They Wanted.

The award of the arbitra tion commission, filed in the Federal district court, is binding and final. The two board representatives of the em ployees filed a minority report in ad dition and the two representatives of the forty-one railroads a dissenting opinion.

E. Holliday, Troy King and Harvey Smith are dead, and Quin Smith is mortally wounded and is expected to die. Hol liday and King were the principals in the shooting affray, and the Smith boys were would-be peacemakers who attempted to avert the tragedy.

LORD METHUEN Lord Methuen, who la one of Eng land's most distinguished soldiers, may be appointed governor general of Canada. AFLOAT WITHOUT FOOD SAILORS IN PANIC ABANDON VES SEL WITHOUT CAUSE'AND SUFFER DISASTROUSLY. The Abandoned Vessel Precedes Then? Into Port, and Was Prac tically Undamaged. Portland, Maine.—The probable loss of their captain, Vincent Nelson, and three of their mates and the death of one, form part of a tale of the sea brought here by the survivors of the crew of Uie Gloucester flailing'schoon er Annie N. Parker. The fact that their abandonment of the stranded schooner near Nantucket and the loss of life was unnecessary was not known to the crew until word reached them that the schooner was in port at Now Bedford virtually undamaged. Nine survivors of the Parker’s crew reached here aboard the lumber schooner Tifton, from Jacksonville, which had picked them up from Dories, 30 miles off Nantucket Reuben Kenney, the cook, was drowned when he was swept over board from a dory, white his mates looked on powerless to help. His home was at Glenwood, N. S. He leaves seven children. The missing men, besides Captain Nelson, are: Lester Fletcher of Argyle Soun, N. S.; Ross Worthen of Pubnico Head, N. S., and Thomas Lundrj Three boats were put over the leo- ward side before one was launched. The first was smashed, the second wus swamped, the third was floated and eight men put out in it. Two other boats were dropped overboard safely on the windward side. The first held three men, thel ast contained Captain Nelson and three of his crew. It was pitch dark and the dory crews were lost to the view of each other almost In a moment. The last seen of the boat In which Captain Nel son left his ship was when It was rounding the bow of the schooner. By an odd chance the Parker pre ceded her crew into port. Stanch and firm apparently and with only a jib missing, she was towed into New Bedford, raising the question, "Why should*a good ship be abandoned by its crew, and where was the crew?" The Parker had floated herself from the ledge and had been sighted drift ing with all sails set by the British steamer Astrakkan, which placed a prize crew aboard. Textile Rates Are Changed.
