Peace Among Warring Factions
Demands Enormous Damage Sum.
WASIIIKOTON, July 21. That
William J. Hryan may go to Mexico
ns head of an Aineriev.'i cotrmission
seeking to mediate bet wren the fac
tions there is tho report here today.
It has been learned that Chairman
Ilacon of the senate committee on
foreign relations hat dis.iusscd Iho
advisability of such a move.
Ilacon would not deny that he had
1'i'iird of such a plan, nor would ho
deny that u long U'lemin Ins been
sent to Hrvan on the matter. It is
luderstood that Flood urged tho
I'riui plan. He refused, however to
discuss it, saving:
"1 cannot nny that affairs in Mcxt
eo nre more serious than fiev were
n f?w days ago. A fev'T r'irt
(..in sctiicly be wocj-j or better in
any iU;'ee from nour ti limir."
Ilacon on Saturdnv v. iM make n fu'l
report i.n the Mexican situation to
the se'nitc foreign committee
Senator Hitchcock of Nebnwkn to
day opened up n new plan for a set
tlement of the Mexican matter when
he suggested the ttossibility that n
fccessiou of a sirtion of northwestern
Mexico to America might satisfy the
enormous claims of Americans to
damages arising out of the Mexican
disorders. He said:
"Tho Mexican people will be un
able to meet our fair claims for dam
ages with n ca-h payment. It is pos
sible they might agree to give us
Sonora, Chihuahua mid lhc- north
western region in partial MitisfnctFon.
Then mi American protectorate
might be formed for another zone. I
do not think that any mediation com
mission sent to Mexico now would
accomplish much., We must let events
take their course."

WASHINGTON, July 24. Why

bill a poor substltuto for tho Payno
tariff law was told In tho senato to
day by Senator Weeks ot Massa
chusetts. Wcoks doclarcd that a reduction
In tho tariff would not reduco tho
cost of living; that it would not
curb tho trusts, rostoro competition
or cause- a fairer distribution ot
wealth.
"Tho Increased cost ot living."
said Wcoks, "is duo to tho growing
density of our population. The
American worklngman can buy twice
ns much with ono hours' wngo today
ns could bo bought u coutury ago.
Hrltlsh workmen can buy loss than
tho American workman and tho Gor
man workman less than tho nrltlsh
workman."
Wcoks Insisted that tho proposed
reduction In tho tariff would curtail
tho running tlmo of tho mills and
reduce tho Income of worklngmen.

Intended for tho coercion of Turkey,

It has been Impoxslblo hero to. gain
any official expression as to whether
Austria agrees with tho Russian
movement, but considerable activity
Is evident In tho government depart

JULY RECORDS
Prospects for Continued Rains Sea
gulls Make Their Appearance In
Bear Creek Rain Extends Along
Coast From San Dlefo to Alaska.
All records for July rainfall wero
broken Thursday noon when a total
precipitation of 2.60 inches for tho
presont storm, or 2.G0 for tho month,
had been recorded, as against tho
normal ot .19-inch. During tho
night and until noon It rained stead
ly, with one and a halt Inches of
molsturo falling. Prospects nro for
contlnuod rain for at least another
twonty-four hours, as the rain la a
general ono, extending on the coast
from Son Diego to Alaska and
through tho eastern states. It In
probablo tho storm will total threo
Inches.
Flvo seagulls, tho first seen In tho
valloy for years, wero blown in from
tbo coast and found shelter In Bear
creek at tho Medford Concrete Con
struction company's pond Thursday
morning.
Bear Crook, Applcgato, LIttIo
Butto and all other streams aro on
tho rampage. Roguo river la from
threo to four feet high.
No damage Is reported except to
hay, grain nnd somo corn.
Tho effect of tho unusual storm
on fruit wilt bo, according to Pro
fessor O'Gara, to split tho early
peaches yet unpicked, to advance
pear picking ten days or two weeka
and to slzo tho apples. A heavy
fruit setting for next year la as
sured. In gonorol, the gain much
mora than offsets tho losa. ,
Damage from the storm, especial
ly from the cloudburst at Griffin
creek, proves to hare beea greatly
overestimated. Mr. Bonar and other
farmora report their loss only nom
inal. Whllo many previous Julys have
received no rain wbatevor, tho larg
est amount for this month recorded
horetoforo was in 1904, when .92
fell. In July, 1889. the next larg
est amount, .CS-lnch, toll.
