The amendment as adopted reads as follows: "Provided, that the passage of this act shall not be construed or held as t waiver, or relinquishment of any right the United States may have under the treaty with Great Britain, ratified Feb ruary 21, 1902, or the treaty with the re public of- Panama, ratified 18, 1304, or otherwise to discriminate in favor of Its vessels by exempting the vessels of the United States or Its citizens from tile payment of. tolls for passage W'pihchOt declares" h. beiev.s venMr. sa(d. canal, or are hi any way waiving.

Senator Brletow made the motion and on a roll call the ! vote was 53 to 22. ,,. n , . , The Sutherland amendment, propojod as h substitute for tho Slmmons-N orris amendment, was defeated 49 to Si It declared that nothing In the repeal ant Khould be considered bb denying or abridging the right of the United Htatea to discriminate In favor of American shipping, and added that on the contrary ouch right is reasserted. This was the first test vute after six weeks of debate on the repeal bill. Even the most optimistic senators who favored rercal had not expected the amendment to carry by so large a majority. It Is not believed, however that the bill Itself can be put through by so great a margin. Nine democratic senators, Ashurst, IMartine, O'Oorman, Pomerene, Ransdell, Heed, Shields, Walsh and Williams voted against the amendment. Several of these. however, are expected to vote for the i repeal bill, while several republicans who supported the amendment are expected to lfne up against the bill. The Slmmons-Norrls amendment would provide that the passage of tho repeal shall not be construed or held aa a wal - ver or relinquishment of any rights the "avo unaer lno B - Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain.

Ont , June 1 A dangerous obstruction to progress cn a vital point In the mediation proceedings has arisen, which again threatens fallvri of tlje negotiations. The United tat- has said to the mediators In unequUo al terme that It cannot consent to ary method of transition from the extstjng regime to the proposed new provision-1 government that recognises Huerta't ad ministration. Tho mediators are Insisting that Gen eral Huerta. be permitted to make the appointment of the man agreed upon he e for provisional president. This the Amer ican government absolutely refuses to c- cept, not only because It la committed against recognition of Huerta, but because It has been Informed by the constitu tionalists that under no circumstance will they accept a peace plan which per mits Huerta to exercise the constitutional function of namtnit his successor. On thU point the medli .tors and American dele gates are deadlocked. One side or the other must give way before any advance Is made. Some of the principals have actually lost hone for a settlement, but there l a, growing confidence that the mediators will devise some method ot bridging the difficulty rather than to allow mediation to founder onl the rocks. nrysm and Wilson Confer.

Mexico, June 10,-(By Wireless to San Diego, Cal.)-The cruiser New Orleans, which In company with the Mexican cruiser Guerrero arrived at Guaymas, on the Gulf ot California, yes terday, reports that tho federal govern ment Is concentrating at Guaymas all available steamships ot the Navlera line. This seems to Indicate that the federal garrison Is preparing to evacuate Guay mas. and will retreat by way of the tea, using the vessels of the Navlera line aa transports. The situation at Masatlan continues substantially unchanged. In spite of the permission of General Rodriguez, the military governor, to all nonoombatanta to leave the city and enter the lines of the besieging constitutionalist army, many of them have thus far preferred to remain In their homes, and bread riots continued yesterday. The federal fortifications shelled the constitutionalist positions across the har bor all day. C'onatltntlnnallata Dig Factor. Involved In the question of method in choosing the new provisional president Is an underlying principle which, If not set tled now, will certainly provoke other disagreements before any protocol can be signed. The American government Is firm In Its belief that the constitutional ists, having conquered the greater part of Mexico, should be given the controlling share In tho new government: that the constitutionalists aro movlna forward to tho undoubted conquest of Mexico City, and that to prevent such a contingency concessions should be made which will make their acceptance of the peace plan Immediately possible. The United States believes the consti tutionalists with their largej army form the real party which must bo pacified and that the transfer of power must be to them In order to Insure peace. Amnesty for the Huerta followers and a guarantee ot their property rights has been undertaken by the American govern ment. Also the United States considers it has acted magnanimously In declining to ask for a war indemnity as a result -if the occupation of Vera Crux. It wants as reparation the establishment of a stablo government and to havo peace restored. It will ask nothing more. Unless the mediators find a way to straighten out tho differences which have arisen, the proceeding will come to an abrupt end. On the other hand. Intima tions have come from the Mexican dele gates that they will not Insist on techni calities In the method of transfer, though they seemed to be determined . that a neutral be chosen provisional president and that no one actively Identified wit 1 the constitutionalist cause be consider eligible.
