U.S. AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO
IS CALLED TO WASHINGTON
Conference Will Be Held to Discuss Conditions
in that Republic Situation is Said to Be
Grave Believed That Germany Has Asked
United States to Intervene.
WASHINGTON, July 16. Acting
on Instructions from President Wil
son, Secretary Bryan cabled Ambassa
dor Wilson at Mexico City to come to
Washington Immediately for a con
ference on the Mexican situalon. Tho
president desires a detailed report of
conditions. The hope of the adminis
tration to postpone action In regard
to Mexico until after the October elec
tions In that country, Is believed to be
destroyed as a result of information
and representations of Great Britain.
It is understood tho British foreign
office practically has served notice to
the state department that the United
States nuBt guarantee peace In Mex
ico under1 the Monroe doctrine. Other
European nations are expected to fol
low. The situation Is regarded as
delicate. Reports from American
consuls In Mexico Indicate the antl
Amerlcan sentiment is growing. Am
erica Is virtually the only civilized
nation withholding recognition of the
Huerta government
It is feared that If the United States
recognizes Huerta it will be construed
as a backdown and that Huerta will
become more arrogant than ever. Tha
fact that the Huerta government has
not been recognized makes it difficult
to adequately protest against the
treatment accorded American resi
dents. Ambassador Wilson Is prevented
from acting In concert with represen
tatives of the other powers in Mexico

MAKES ATTACK ON
STOCK EXCHANGE
j WASHINGTON, july 16. Senator
, Thomas, democrat of Colorado, in a
. speech defending the ' Wilson tariff
I bill of 1893, from responsibility for
j the financial panic which followed.
, charged former President Cleveland
and the New York banks with xnn.
splracy to precipitate a calamity to 1
force repeal of the Sherman silver
act.
Though denouncing the 1893 bill as
a "most miserable piece of tariff re
form." he branded the New York
stock exchange as the "most prodig
ious gambling hell" of any age and
the "Monte Carlo of American fi
nance." "It is the swindlers' paradise." he
continued. "It ls a huge vamDira
that sucks the blood from the arter.
lea of industry. It Is an unincorpor
ated, irresponsible monstrosity, be
yond the pale of laws. It Is the an
tithesis of fair dealing and common
honesty. It has sanctified specula
tion. It V tho most pernicious and
corroding Influence In the land."

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

That the business and financial sit

from a visit In Portland following a
six weeks otttlng at Newport He ls
likewise Impressed that Umatilla
county will prod wee a good wheat
crop this summer a crop In some
sections larger than was harvested
last season.
According to Mr. Rice businessmen
generally regard the tariff legislation
as something decided upon and there
Is an end to uncertainty on that score.
The currency bill ls also meeting with
more favor than was first accorded
It and seems In line to meet with,
public approval. In the view of Mr.
Rice the provision whereby the con
trol of the reserves will rest In the
hands of the government and not
with the bankers, Is a sound provision.
