At the opening, Mr. Andrew King, of Halifax, was appointed chairman, and he dealt with the question of the urgent need for conservation of the industry and the lack of concerted action on the part of those interest- i-ii, so that little had up to date been accomplished with regard to various proposals now made for new Govern- ment regulations and hc explained the nature of the suggestions made by the packers and others elsewhere for co-operation and it discussion of these followed. Though unanimously concurring in the matter of conservation, that lob- ster packers should makc_ greater ef- forts to co-operate to that end, and iiqi-eciin; that ln most cases the re- .-i.lh= of co-operation in recent years :irc not as satisfactory as formerly .ind threaten to become worse in the iminecliate future unless some action is tiiken, the feeling of the meeting wus that it was nut possible to agree 'vithin the short time at its dispo- sal whether the suggestions could be considered the best applicable for thc !’.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Govel‘ii- ment officials are confident tonight that the infinite patience with which the United States has treated the Mexican situation will soon be re- warded by the solution brought ,` about by the great internal forces* now at work in Mexico. Such a con- clusion has been the iwincilml obiect of the American administration which believes that, eventllally, the con- tending forces will fight each othel' ollt. Among the facts which indicate that the closing chapters of ‘ the Hucrta regime will soon be written are these: That federal troops are not receiving Day; Mexican experience has proven that without pay the |loynlty of the troops is not to be de- pended upon. Other reports indicating the triumph of constitutionalists are- to_.the- effect that the heads-of the- great families controlling the planta- tions iii the north have fled and as n result armies hitherto held i-.i check urc not expected to flock to the ban- ners of the constitutional forces op- erating against Huertu. Unofficial enquiry made into the facts regard- ing the shipment of arms and am- munition iuto Mexico indicate that such orders as are now being filled were placed months ago when the revolution seemed insignificant. ll. S. PITESIUTNT ' UENUUTNEES HUEHTA _-__A WASHINGTON, December 3- The most important development in the Mexican situation 'here today was President Wilson’s outline in his ad- dress to Congress,-of the status of affairs in the southern republic. He declared that Mexico has no govern- ment, that attempts to maintain one hy General Huerta' at tho city of Mexico had “broken down and a more military despotism, set up.” His denunciation of Huerta’s usur- pation of power, and the assertion that the Huerta regime would soon crumble, ,were received with close at- tention andsnthusiastlc applause by members of ’Congress of all political faiths. _ ._ I The presfdent's remark' that Huer- ta had “forfeited theqraspect and ,moral support -even of those who pwere at one time willing to ,see him .succeed," and the assertion that lHuerta's isolation meant his gradu- ul elimination "with the collapse not far away,”' were phrases much .stronger than had been used by the ‘president heretofore in referring pub- licly to Huerta.. As to the future policy. of the United States, he said: "We shall not, I believe, be oblig- ed to; altar our policy of watchful waiting. And then, when _thc end comes, we shall hope to see* consti- tutional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy of such of her leaders as prefer,tbe|lib- lutgiag N.o1|- people to their own 'um on.” . » . Loud applause greeted this state- ment, and it was suggested by those in close touch - with Mexicsm affairs that the president believed order would be restored without much dif- ficulty after Huerta was eliminated from the situation. | -----_.__-__ ..

EAST NIGHTS MEETING A TIE lBEGWE|T l.l.l.i Under the presidency of Mr. Gor- don G. Hughes, the annual meeting of the Abegvoeit Athletic Amateur Association was held in the Board of Trade rooms last night. There was s large number of members in atten- dance. » The president reviewed the athletic situation for the pust year. In hoc- key, he said, the Association's teams had made nu excellent showing, the senior team finishing second iii the league. On 24th May, the Associa- tiou‘s football team made its annual trip to New Glasgow, N. S., accom- panied by alnrge number of excur- slonists. The day proved unfavor- able, however, and the match collld not be played. The gap was in a measure filled by the Cluh's basket .haluesin meeting the players °f-New Glasgow; and the Abegweits won a decisive victory. On June 3rd the New Glasgow foot- ball team visited this city and play- ed the Abegweit footballers; the visitors suffering defeat by 12"poinf:s-' to nothing. On Dominion Day the baseball team of the Wanderers As- sociation of Halifax was scheduled to play the Abegwelt team. But un- favourable weather prevented the meeting. Oil the same occasion Mc- Kay, the famous long distance run-i ner of the Wanderers Club, came ov- er to Charlottetown and won a live- nlilc race against local runners. In August the Ma-rltinle Athletic Field and Track Championships were held on the Abegweit grounds under the Associatlon's auspices. The success of the Abegweit Track and Field team was pronounced; they won by a large margin over all competitors. This Assoclatlon’s teams have n0W won the Maritime Track and Field Championships for nine or ten years in succession. The Provincial _Ten- nis Obampionships were played, on tho Abegweit tennis courts between players of the Charlottetown Tennis Club and the Abegweit Association, the latter winning signal success! 80° curing both singles and doubles ten- nis chatltvplonships for the Pl'0Vin°e- In baseball, the Abegweits for the second year in succession won the City baseball championship and ob- tninod the permanent possession of the beautiful Hearts Trophy as well as li’s.nbdsol¥)e in;l\:Vid\1`lglWs1;»)l:)'1li;s fxlrlé On La or ay e us held in conjunction with the Labori Union and proved highly successful.

THE MEXICAN ‘_ SITUATTUN Wilson read his first annual message to Congress yesterday at a joint eel-1ei0n of both branches, at one o‘clock, in the bollsc chamber. The message was among the hriefest of documents of its kind from any president, some 3,000 words long, required less than thirty minutes for reading, though it treated of ii var- iety ol' subjects. The Mexican situation, President Wilson disiuissed with brief comment, reiterating the sentiments hc express- ed ill fl special address to Congress oil the same subject some time ago, and expressing the belief that the _-Iuertn government was slowly zriimbling, and that the United itates 'probably would not be oblig " ad to alter its policy of waiting.

The building of Alas- kan railways which the president endorsed; the need for concentration by the Senate on the pending Cllr- rency Bill, which he emphasized; ur- gent necessity of rural credit legisla- tion; self government for Porto Rico and Hawaii; ultimate independence for the Philippines; a policy of “corn- rnon council and conference" between the federal government and the states on thc conservation question, and a revision of the system of primary elections, were the other principal features of thc pl'esident's ofldress. board of directors had met for the usual executive meetings throughout the year. The report of the Secretary, Mr. A. W. Gaudet, was then presented and showed an increase of membership during the year. There were now 31:0 members on the Association's rolls. Mr. H. L. Bethune, the Treasurer, submitted his statement of the Asso- ciation's financial position, which was disclosed to he of a satisfactory nature. Receipts for the year, in- cluding gate money, amounted to ov- ;er $3,000. Interesting remarks on the year's work and athletics generally were made by Dr. H. D. Johnson, S. A. McLeod, J. A.

LONDON, December 23-Winston Spencer Churchill, whose aeroplane usccnts as ll. passenger have been numerous, now possesses the dis- tiliction of being the first cabinet minister in the world to act as un air pilot, During the greater part of a flight of an hour‘s duration ut East Church on Saturday, he person- ally took control of the machine. Cn Saturday morning Mr. Churchill had some final lessons to complete his experience, and after lunch, donnin\;\i| leather jacket and airman's cap, h took his seat in a dual control bl plane with Captain William Lush- lngton. When the machine reach- ed the height of 500 feet, Mr. Churchill took ovcr the control, the wind blowing steadily hilt strongly, and the biplane took nearly an hour to cover ten miles which separ- ated the East Church flying ground from thc Isle of Grain. M FIRST LORD DID SPLENDIDLY. The First Lord remained at the control nearly three-quarters of an hour, flying to and fro, and accom- plishing a distance of from thirty- five to forty miles. Then Captain Lushlngton took charge again »iv.»l brought the machine to earth. Pye witnesses of tllc flight. said that thc First Lord did splen-lilly.
