MR.. cHoATE TO GO TO ST. JANE:
Senator Plat Admits That He VIII
Succeed Mr.. Hay

Senator Thomas C. Platt was the first
visitor at the White House yesterday
morning. His interview with the Presi-
dent did not last long, but it was long
enough for him to learn that Mr. Choate
was to be the next ambassador to the
court of st. James.
Senator Plat was informed that the Sc
lection of Mr.. Choate was the only one
that could be made from New York that
would be satisfactory to all the factions
of the Republican party in that State
He was also told that harmony must from
this time on be wooed most assiduously.
After the interview with the President,
Mr.. P1att admitted that Mr.. Choate would
be the next ambassador to England, but
he added, significantly: 1.-The appoint
ment is not imminent"

Commercial Interests.
Representative Cousins of Iowa thinks
there is no doubt that considerable "in-
spired' opposition to the Administration
policy of expansion will develop from
certain commercial interests in this coun-
try. yet he believes that no power can
thwart the popular demand on this ques-
tion.

To reorganize the standing army on a
basis OF 100000 men WILL in MIR. Cousins $
mind, be one of the first considerat ations
OF Congress, and he thinks there has
been no time for twenty-five years when
a large naval appropriation could be as
easily passed as at the coming session.

SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM.
Representative Taylor THINKS q,
pansiOn Is a Necessity

Representative Taylor of Lisbon, O..
thinks that expansion is necessity, mas
much as 1t is the only solution of what
he regards as difficult problem. He says
the people of Ohio are in favor of expan-
sion because they do not see what else
this country can do with the Philippines.
Representative Taylor is much elated
over Republican successes in his State this
year. He says 1t is too early to talk about
the next gubernatoriar campaign, but the
indications are that the fight will be the
most interesting for many years. Former
Lieut. Gov. Jones will, he says. be prom
