The company is said to hold $5,00o,oo in
debentures, 5000, 900 in loans and to have
$4,000 cash on hand. The recetvership is
said to have been forced by the company's
inability to close on loans made in 1888 and
1889 on western boom town property, most
of which is said to be in Omaha and which
has proven loss. The extent of these
losses are not known, but are said to be
large. The firm also carried heavy loans

losses on city property is said to have
dragged the assets to a depth where a re-

AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND
The Selection of MI. Hays Successor Ex-
pected Soon.
Mr.. Hits Name First Mentioned by
the Newspapers, but is ms Likely
to Be Appointed Mt Any One.

1t is expected at the White House that
Mr. Hay, the new Secretary of State, will
come to Washington this week to enter
upon the discharge of his duties. 1t is
also thought that announcement will soon
be made of the selection of a successor to
Mr. Hay as ambassador to England. Since
offering the position to Senator Hoar the
President has been unusually busy with
pressing affairs and has had little time to
devote to selecting a suitable man. Now
that he has completed the war investigat-
ing commission he has more time to take
up matters which have been held in obey
ance. The English embassy is one of
these. 1t is a position not likely to be
declined when an offer is made.
Talk of Mr.. Hit.
The talk of Representative Hit Is re-
vived. The President had not thought of
making Mr.. Hit the diplomatic representa-
tive of this country 20 England, but the
recent mention of Mr.. Hits name brought
out much favorable talk to possibly
lead to something material as an outcome.
The President is a great newspaper reader
and watches the comments on public men.
Senator Mcmillan of Michigan is also
being talked of again. 1t is said he would
like to go to England He is rich enough
TO maintain the social end of the mission
on a splendid scale
COnciIiating Former Opponents.
Representative Hit has never been con-
sidered one of the Presidents warm polit-
ical friends. He is said to have been
among the Illinois men who fought the Nc
hinley boom two years ago. The Presi-
dent, however, has never let these things
enter into his administration. He hunts
the best man when he has an opening. A
noticeable feature of his administration is
the cordialty which exists between him
and men who fought him bitterly in the
past. They have seen no resentment in his
demeanor. Many of them We're called into
the war councils of the past few months
and soon won the deepest confidence of the
chief executive. Mr.. HIATT was one of the
men freely consulted by the President at
critical periods in the war Therefore, 1t is
said that the President Is as likely to offer
the position to Mr.. Hit as to any other
man.
Ex-Governor Merriam of Minnesota
would no doubt come In for considerat ton
but for the known opposition of Senator
Davis to his old opponent being recognized
in any prominent way. The senator would,
1t Is said, fight the appointment.
