aebington, Aug. The relatione
titween Mexico and the rnited Statee
uontinue to be critical. In fact, the
eituation ie much more serious than
.it was yesterday, for since then the
Government has received officiallY
from Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Am -
Primo Charge d'Affaires in Mexico
City, the text of the communivation
addressed to him on Wednesday night
whieh the acting Minieter of For-
eign Affairs declared on the authority
ot PFesident Iluerta that if John Lind,'
Preeident Wileon's special repreeent-
ative, dom not bring credentials in due
tome together with recognition of the
Government of alexieo, his presence
in this country will not be desirable.
.A copy of this communication was
given out in Mexico City late on Wed-
nesday night, While it seemed hard-
ly possible that Mr. O'Shaughnessy
did not transmit it immediately to
secretary Bryan, it wee deelared at
the State Department up to a late
hour last uight that it had not been.
reeeived there. Officials gave the
imprevelion then that they were hope-
ful that no such communication had
been delivered at the -American Em-
bileey. But this was short lived, fgr
some time in the early hours Of this
morning a message from Mr. O'Shaugh-
neesy containiug the threatening declar-
ation of the Mexican Government mane
to the State Department in eintier. Sec-
retary Bryan found a translated copy of
the mesSiige on his dmk when he appear-
ed at the State Department to -day.
A HURRIED CONFERENCE.
The receipt of tide defiant com-
munication sent Mr. Bryan posthaste
to the White House, where he went
into eon f erenee immediately with
President Wilson, Joeephus Daniels,
the Secretary of the Navy, partici-
Pated in. the conference, and his
promote° gave rise to the reports that
eoneideration was being given to
preparing the fleet for a hostile emer-
gency. Nothing developed during the
day, however, to "confirm rumors Of
thie character, and while no explana-
tion is furniehed of the reason that
Secretary Daniels was called into the
ton sm mita tion between the Presideut
and the Secretary of State, it is un-
deretood that it was arranged through
him to get into radiograph communi-
cation with the battleship New Hamp-
shire, which is conveying ex -Governor
and Mrs. Lind to Vera Cruz, and direct
the New Hampshire's commander, Capt.
Jamee H. Oliver to delay the arrival
of the vessel at the Mexican port. This
will allow Mr. O'Shaughnemy, under in-
tructions from Secretary Bryan, to
make explanations to the Mexican Gov-
ernment that may prevent President
Muerte, from taking drastic action
against Mr. Lind that would be con-
elderea as an affront to the United
States.
Abandoning for the moment the
policy of secretiveness to which it
has adhered in mattos connected
with the Mexiesin eituation, the State
Department acknowledged that. it had
received from the Einbasey in Mexieo
the text of the threntening communi-
cation from the acting Minister of
Foreign Affithe. The only public
emnineut On President Huerta's de-
fiant attitude for which the Adminis-
tration was willing to stand oponaor
in any official way was contained in
a brief statement furnished to the
preen by Setretary of State Bryan
late this afternoon. This was ae fol-
lows: "The statement of the Mexican
Foreign Office was based on misrepre-
sentations for which thie Govern-
ment is not responsible. In sending
Governor Lind ite.adviser to the Em-
bamemey the President ie entirely with-
in his rights, and this department
will not assume that his going there
will be regarded as unfriendly when
the eharaeter of his mission is under-
stood."
No explanation could be obtained
from Secretary of State Bryan or
other officials as to what were the
emisrepresentitaiooe" complained of,
:Mr. Bryan add that the propomials
which Mr. Lind carries with him,
representing the plan of President
Wilson for ending the :Mexican trou-
bles, had not been divulged to any-
one in any manner onte;ide of the
White House and the State Depart-
ment, and that therefore the efforts
to construe an interpretation of the
policy of the Administration or Mr.
Lind's inetructions was likely to be
mieleading and taleulated to be mis-
chievous.
The Promident iet mulerstood to take
the ground that no his Admiuistra-
tion will be held responsible for
whatever pollee' is adopted toward
Mexieo, it is no concern of the nmie
tional legislators, and particularly
those of the Republican faith, as to
Um &erecter and scope .of his plans
'for bringing the Mexican troublos to
an end.

man arrested in iandbuvy two days ego

Jan. 22, spent last nighe lo Toronto.
He wee brought here by Dominion In-

because the accused has admitted ee ery-

but the admissions were no doubt due
to the feet that the police had such a
chain of evidence that deuial would be
foolish.
O'Brien's father had the contract for
driving the mall from the etation to the
postoffice, and on this accolent the rree-
ence of the SOIL .around the mail bags
did not "arouse any particular suepieion.
On the day in queetion the train mall
clerks were busy transferring their

IMPEACHMENT IN BALKANS
FOR GOV. .SULZER Austrian Demand is Causing
Some Delay. Old Country
Is Likely Result of N. Y.
State Probe.
STRONG EVIDENCE
As to Alleged Misuse of
Campaign Funds,
New York, Aug. IL— The first im-
peachment of a governor that this State
'lies ever known seems inevitable 118 the
result of an astonishing series of blowa
at William Sulzer's reputation, deliver-
' ed in two tense hours'before the Fraw-
ley eonunittee nt the city hall to -day.
Charges that just fell short of proof
in earlier sessions—that the governor,
in addition to per,inring himself by
swearing to an untrutlifill statement of
eampaign receipte—used part of those
reeeipts in stock speculation—were driv-
en home to -day by testimony deemed
by the committee Indisputable.
The committee found iteelf so stuffed
with evidence that it adjourned with-
out bearing all the witnesses who were
expected. It will meet in Albany on
Monday afternoon to consider the next
step. On Monday night, when the ex-
tra Recision of the Legaslature is resum-
ed, a report prepared. by Eugene Lamb
Richards, jun., the Frawley committee's
counsel, and covering all the investiga-
tion, has found out tip to this time, Neill
he submitted to both Houses, No form.
al reeommendation wilt aerompany it,
as Chnirman Frawley believe8 that the
committee is not empowered. There is
reneon to belieN that the report itself
will result in a demand for an impeach-
ment and after reeeiving it there will
be nothing for the Lower House to do
but order that Governor Sulzer be.put
on trial before the' court of impeach-
ment, which eonsists of the Senate and
the Court of Appeals sitting together,
The Court of Appeals, now in reeess,
will not reconvene until next month.
The governor'a trial, therefore, could
not begin at once.
EVIDE.NCE' WAS CONVINCING.
Humiliating for the governor were to-
they's disclosures that- he, the self-eon-
fessed pear man and comrade of the
poor, not only lied such (mood fiiianciel
standing that be wag -to es* the
firm of Horris & Fuller $50,987.21 on
d'au. 1, 1912, when he was a eepresenta-
five in Congress, 'but that heewas
steady loser in the market, and after
sharp and uncomplimentary dunning by
the brokers the payment of ailA debt was
completed by his bueiness partner, ex -
Governor A. E. Spriggs, of Moiltana,
who deposited $5,000 to the governor's
account, and by Lieutenant-Conunander
Louis M. doeephtal, who came to the
governor's rescue on July 19 of this
year by closing the Salzer account with
a payment. of UO,749.21. Mr. Josephtal,
who is head of the brokerage firm of
Josephtal, Loueheim & Co., was the only
member of Governor Dix's staff Who
was appointed to the staff of Governor
Sulzer.
Even more interestine for its bearing
on the accosation theit • the governor
used campaign contributions for private
speculation or investment was the re-
velation of his account with Boyer,
Griswold & Co.
It - was ellown that various cheques
ranging' from $100 to $1,000 contributed
for campaign purposes by several prom-
inent politicians and workers were used
by . Governor Sulzer in speculating in
stocks in Wall street.
The sequence of events in Mr. Sul-
*zer's-. operations is viewed: by Counsel
-Richards this way:
"Mr. Sulzey was speculating in the
market, sometimes buying owtright,
sometimes on margin. His investments
were u»fortuuate. He was. constantly
in need of cash to bolster ilia .neknint
and keep from being wiped oat. To
supply part -of the cash he paid off

fore, he grossly understated hie cam-
paign, receipts in the statement to whieli
he had to swear, The Frawley commit-
tee got after him, and. the next step Ls
