AMBA8SAD0R WILSON DISAP
PROVES TRIPARTITE COM.
MI88ION FOR MEXICO.
CITES THE MONROE DOCTRINE
American Envoy Says He Stands Pat
on His Actions While In Republic
and Expects to Be Retained In
Position.
Nov; York, July 28. Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson arrived here from
Mexico on his way to confer with
President Wilson and cabinet regard
ing the situation in Mexico. He an
nounced hl3 opposition to several
plans under consideration by the stato
department for bringing about peaco
in the republic. Mr. Wilson arrivod
at this port aboard the liner Mexico
on Friday.
Supplementing statements he made
earlier In the day, disapproving tho
suggestions of American mediation
or the appointment of a tripartite com
mission. Mr. Wilson on Friday night
gave his reasons why ho considered
tho plan for tho tripartite commission
not a feaBlblo one.
"If we are to consider such a plan
we may as well abandon the Monroe
doctrine entirely," ho said. "The Mon
roe doctrine pledges tho United States
to take caro of tho interests of Amer
ican governments without tho aid of
any foreign country. Consequently
under the Monroe doctrine we cannot
Attempt to settle Mexico's nffarls
through tho services of such a body
as tho proposed tripartita commis
sion, since it Involves calling in out
side governments to help."
Mr. Wilson was reticent when ques
tioned as to his policies on American
Intervention nnd recognition of Mex
ico by the United States. Thcso views,
he said, he felt he must reserve for
his conference with President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan.
"I have been blamed for a great
deal," the ambassador commented, as
he discussed his administration In
Mexico City. ,
On everything he has done he
"stands pat," however, he said, and
believed as ho hurried on to Wash
ington, that he would be rotalned in
his position and sent back to Mexico.
"I wafil you to understand that I
will stand by whatever I haye done
and said," declared the ambassador.
"I have been accused of using my
Influence to, keeR the Huerta-DIas gov
ernment in place. I certainly have
tried to keep that government in con
trol, and I v.ill stand by my position.
"A lot has been said In the Ameri
can newspapers about American inter
vention, and perhaps some of it Is
insplrod by persons who would be in
terested in American control of Mex
ico," was his comment.
"I have always striven to keep
down factions opposed to Huerta. My
motive fn:"ilmg the federal govern-
' ment of Mexico has been to protect
the lives of Americans.
"If I hnd not Intervened when I
did and brought Huerta and Diaz to
gether, the entire City of Mexico
would have been In flames. If the
present government does riot last, tho
entire country will be plunged into
chaos."
The ambassador's silence regarding
his opinion as to American recogni
tion was broken long enough for him
to comment on one of his acts just
subsequent to the overthrow of Ma
dero. Mrv Wilson recalled that this
act waB interpreted In many quarters
as a virtual recognition of Mexico,
notwithstanding the refusal of his
government at Washington to admit
tho republic on a diplomatic footing
common vith other governments.
In February, when Huerta became
provisional prosident, tho ambassador
Instructed American consuls in Mex
ico, "in the interests of Mexico, to
urge general submission and ndheslon
to the government, which will bo rec
ognized by all foreign governments."
Mr Wllnon-sald a wrong construc
tion would bo placed upon this advice
to consular officers by any person who
believed It meant that he recognized
the Huerta government or that he had
desired to conflict In any way with
the policies of either Mr. Taft as
president or President Wilson.
"It was tho de facto government
only that I recognized," Mr. Wilson
explained. "The de facto government
was the only government that pos
sessed the power to offer protection
for Amqrican lives nnd property and
for the lives, nnd property of other
foreigners. I acted as an ambassador
had the right to act in tho Interests
of my countrymen. The government
I recognized was tho only existing
one of law and order. I believe that
I did right at that critical time."

In the great throng being restrained
only by the closely drawn police from

After the first fierce blast the fire
seemed to burst from every other part
of tho building at once. Upon the

LIGHT PRESSURE "'EAWttil
Science Has Gone Far Into Subject,
and Figures Force Reaches 74,-
000 Tons on Globe.
r
Light, traveling its 186,000 miles fr
second, once was regarded an ethereal.
Immaterial something In vibration. Si
mon Nowcomb, In his "Popular As
tronomy," issued in 1878, said of this:
"If light were an emission of material
particles, as Newton supposed it to
be, this supposed pressure of light
would have umo plaualblllly. But
light Is now conceived to consist of
vibrations in an ethereal medium and
thero is no known way in -which: Uiey
could orort any Impelling forco on
matter."
But today Nowton Is supported and
science has gone so far Into tho pres
sure of light as to figuro that thla light
pressuro on the globe reaches 74,000
tons. Further, along the lines, of de
duction, there Is pressuro upon any ob
ject that reflects or that absorbs light,
tho pressuro being greater on tno re
flecting matter. That mankind is
not to be smothered or knocked out
by this, however, is shown in tho fact
that 15,000 trillions of light particles
Strike the globo every second, these
overwhelming numbers of particles
equaling a five and ono-halt pound
shot falling the 186,000 miles In a sec
