Washington, Aug. 16.—Tile Huei'ta
government, through conferences be
tween John Liud, President Wilson'*'
personal representative, ami Foreign
Minister Gamboa, now knows the
viewpoint of the United States and
its desire for only a peaceful an J
friendly solution of Mexico's troubles.
The formal communication Mr. Linu
bears, however, will not be hanUe.f
to Mexico before Monday at least,
waen it will be transmitted to dipt -
matic representatives oi foreign pow-
ers in Washington.
What the result of publishing
these views will be officials here do ; morning and evening. Arrangements
not venture to predict. They have no aie being made to hold the evening
assurance that the Huerta govern service out doors in front of the
ment will accept them, but they be ' church. Everybody invited.
lieve the spirit thus far shown by
tl.e Huerta government justifies
hopeful feeling for the success of
Mr. Lind's mission.
Observers of the situation gener-
ally look for a pronouncement of
some kind from Huerta immediately
following the presentation of Presi-
dent Wilson's message through Mr. |
Lind. It is expected in diplomatic
(Circles that President Huerta will
formerly announce a cail for an early j
election, even setting the date. j Firs! Methodist Epir.cepaJ Churc

claimed they would not engage in
any election in Which the Huerta
government exercsed control over the
election machinery. The possibility
of an agreement however, for a non-
partisan commission of Mexicans to
conduct the election is being discuss-
ed, and should the situation actually
progress to that point it may be that
informal efforts will be made by Mr.
Lind to secure participation by the
constitutionalist^/ leader in such a
plan.
In formation, however, of only the
vaguest character has been forthcom-
ing from officials as to the eventuali-
ties that would follow a possible re-
jection of Pres'dent WllBon's ideas by
the Huerta government. There Is no
Intention ut present of lifting the em-
bargo at arms; in fact the president
la said to have taken a strong posi-
tion against It, at least until the
poaceful means of settlement have
been exhausted.
TJhere is a confident and conspi-
cuous feeling of optimism, however,
among administration officials that
a peaceful settlement is in sight,
though they admit the delicacy of
the situation torpids any detailed
discussion at this time of the cir-
cumstances on which their hopes are
based. ,

The decision to make this demand
upon the freight men was reacheJ
cicated a big demand for cattle cars
on all tin- -.allroads of thj Etateente--
iLg tlie stock markets.
The blame, however, is placed on
the lack of hauling facilities owing
to the delay in equipment orders of
the last year. The additional drain
on the roads on account of decrease
iii rates advance in wages and a
higher cost of living all around and
made the managements backward in
spending large sums for more freight
car equiptment than it actually need-
ed. ,
The Santa Fe and Rock Island
classed among the strongest lines of
the country have received big box
car deliveries this year but on ac-
count of the slack in orders among
the weaker lines the situation is re-
lieved only to a slight extent. It U
