An awkward Interval, full of meaning for the superstitious, seemed Imminent. The Kaiser, who stood at the Countess's elbow, took In the situation like flash. Without wait-leg for anybody to jump the breach he rushed forward, seised the bottle and, drawing It back over his right shoulder, sent It crashing against the side of the vessel, eplln-terlne; the glass -in fragments.

ffpsWsl to Tht Sne Tort Times. WASHINGTON, June SO. Encouraged by the report of Secretary of Commerce Redfleld at yesterday's Cabinet meeting that prosperity was returning to the whole country. President Wilson today directed the publication of extracts from letters he had received tending to bear out his contention thit hatever depression had existed was psychological. The letters were given out following a visit to the White House by Repre sentative Rellly of who cited the case of the clock Industry, file said that, while the Democratic tariff had been held responsible for the depression In that industry.

Importations under the Underwood act had been considerably less than under the previous tariff. The President haa been pleased to ace that in the circular that have come to bis attention complaining of industrial lethargy, no mention hss been made of the tariff as a depressing He Is understood to feel that this supports bis theory or psychological depression. Before the tariff went Into effect it was denounced as an enemy of Industry, but after It was put in operation the complaint waa directed against the trust bills not yet enacted. Fears as to the effect of those bills he considers qually groundless. This adda Interest to a statement from F.

C. Lowry, manager of th sales department Of th Federal Sugar Refining Company of New York, that the three months since the Democratic tariff on sugar went into effect show a substantial reduction In price for the benefit of the consumer to be accurate, .58 1 cent a pound. This saving. It is expected, will be greatly increased In 1111. when the full reduction In the sugar tariffs will have become effective.

The saving already indicated, sold Mr. Lowry, would have meant on the sugar consumed last year a domestic economy of I4S.714.70S. A further saving of $100,000,000 a year, he aald. would result after When Secretary Tumulty showed Congressman Rellly some of the letters that had come to the President, Mr. Rellly laughed heartily.

Cleek Iadastry Hart. "I got a letter myself a few days ago." he said. telling that, because the employes in the clock factories In and around Now Haven had been working fewer hours the charge was being made that this and other alleged troublea were due to.th heavy importations of foreign clocks under the Democratic tariff. 1 wanted to know the true fscts and asked the Department of Commerce to grv me tne very latest 'figures as to the importation of cloth. The latest figures war for February and March.

Clocks to the total value were imported In those months. For the same three months 'of 19 U. under a Republican Administration and Republican clocks to the value Of 09 were imported. Investigation made by me shows that manufactories of all kind around New Haven, accustomed for many years to a Shut-down of t0 weeks around July 4, will not close down this year longer than that and that some of those which have closed in the post will not shut down Among the' excerpts from letters msde pwhlio at the White House were these; From Illinois-."

NIAGARA. FALLS. Jutic sr The pulse of the mediation movement has been quickened at, the moment' wben final dlasolutlon appeared to be at hand. The Niagara. Falls negotiations are continued for a week at least, while a supreme effort is being mad by th Washington Government to Induce the Constitutionalists to moi-ify their attitude.

This hi understood to have been the net result of the conference at the White House in Washington hist night between President Wilson. Secretary Bryan, and Dr. Ro-mulo 8. Naon the Ara-entine Minister. who is the second ranking member of the ABC mediators.

Dr. Naon returned to Niagara from Washington this afternoon, t'jton his arrival at Buffalo soon after noon he was quoted In an optimistic utterance. 4 I was never, more confident than 1 am today of the ultimate success of me diation." aald he. "I am confident and optimistic, which" I have always been, for while I regard the difficulties which have been encountered as serious, are always difficulties in mediation, -it Is the duty of mediators always find a way to overcome them so t' peace may be .1 a I jk a meeting: neia-aoon siwr tus ar rival here.

It was announced after their talk that no conferences would be held until Monday. According to one report. Dr.

Hope of the Washington Administration of changing the Constitutionnli-t attitude rests apparently on the differences that have arisen' between Onu Carransa and Villa.

Carranxa's tion as supreme chief of the Conti tlonallat movement is believed to b-uncertain that he would be comp to make any concessions that Villa manded. Opinion here is thst Washington Government will try persuade Villa to Indue Carranxa i make concessions. The Constitutionalist Junta in Washington, however, declined to renmve i- obstacle that bars lbs way to -t -ment. Dr Naon had interview in Washington yesterday with Luis one of the delegates whom Cui -ranxa appointed, but could not person him to consent to the selection of neutrsl Mexican a Provlsionsl I' Ident Of the Republic. The Constitutionalist Junta In Wn Ington Is composed of Carranxiatas.

u. It is realised that until they get 1 from Its chief to change their attilud. they must stand on the instructions which Gen. Carransa gave, that only an out-and-out revolutionist will be acceptable aa the head of the -temjMrary Oovemment which the Nlsgara Fali conferees desire to establish In the City of Mexico. What concessions the United States Government would ask Tan ansa to make under pressure by Villa have n-t been disclosed here and perhaps are not known to the mediator.
