PI esident May Tender the London
Mission to Senator HOar.
Washington, Sept. Alt Is understood
that the President has invited Senator
Hoar. the senior senator from Massachu-
sets, to accept the London mission to sue
coed Mr.. Hay.
While a definite response has not been
received, 1t Is gathered that the senator
will probably decline on the ground that
he would be more serviceable to his coun-
try In his present position, while the deli
cate health of Mrs. Hoar renders a change
Of habit and climate inadvisable at her
time of life.
1t was rumored that in the event OF the
acceptance of this embassy by Senator
Hoar, Secretary Long would be candi-
date for the succession as senator from
Massachusetts.
There is reason to believe that the secre-
tary has made no movement In that direc-
ton, but is entirely content with his post.

H0AR
SHELVING SENATOR
Talk of Making Him Minister to En-
gland in Hays Place.

New York, Sept. ia special from
Washington says:
1t is understood that President McKin-
ley has decided to offer the post of am
bassador to the court of st. James, made
vacant by the appointment OF Mr.. Hay rs
secretary of state, to Senator Hoar.
The president is very anxious to have
him accept the post. He thinks that Mr..
Hoar would maintain the lofty standards
established at that court by such ambas-
sailors as Lowell and Bayard. Senator
Hoar is considered learned diplomat by
nature and long training, tactful and gra-
cious.
The only thing that stands in the way
of Senator Hoars acceptance is his own
health, which has not been very strong
for some time. His friends think, how
ever, that he is strong enough for the
duties of the post and believe that he will
soon be in excellent physical condition.
