it is taken into consideration that

arc numerous where legislators are
on local School Boards.
Moreover, it has been decided by

be found in many portions OF the

MANY DIPLOMATS CALLED.
Talked Over All Kinds of Foreign
Questions With Secretary of
State Sherman.

Washington. March 1S-Secretary Sher-
man had a busy day at the state depart
ment for not only were the callers out in
force but it was the regular weekly re-
ception of the diplomatic corps. and many
of the members of the corps availed them
selves of their privilege, Among this class
of callers was the Russian minister and
the ministers from Costa Rica. Japan, Bel
GUM, Guatemala, Spain, Greater Republic
of Central America and Hawaii.
Mr. Hatch. the Hawaiian minister
brought with him Mr.. Smith, who was tho
legal adviser of the Hawaiian government
but the shortness of his stay made it ap-
pear that only formaiities were exchanged
and that no attempt was made to discuss
the subject of annexation. in which Mr.
Smith is particularly interested. The Col
ombian charge. General Rengiof. also
called to complete an agreement with Sec
retary Sherman relative to the settlement
of the claim of an American railway COM
pany. The Spanish minister stopped long
er than any of the other visitors and il is
believed his visit had special reference to
the American citizens now under arrest i'll
Cuba. There are. all told. only fourteen
of these, five being Competitor prisoners
and an equal number of persons taken
with arms in hand.
The Japanese minister is deeply con-
cerned at the changes made by the ways
and means committee in those sections of
the existing act relative to the duty on
silks. and 1t is believed that he took ad-
vantage of his call to represent to Secre-
tary Sherman the ill effect that the
changes might have upon the present sat
isfactory trade relations of the two coun-
tries.
