SEEKING THE NOBEL PRIZES.
Stipulation in Regard to American
Candidates.

United States Minister Thomas at Stock
holm has called the attention Of the State
Department to the fact that the American
minister at Stockholm Is not permitted, di-
rectly or indirectly officially or unofficialiy,
to present names for any OF the prizes OF
Nobel's magnificent bequest. In report
from the minister. made public today at
the State Department, it is stated that the
American legation at Stockholm is con-
stantly in receipt of letters from persons
desiring to have their names presented for
Nobel prize. These efforts, he says, are
absolutely useless in view of the rules OF
the Nobel prize distribution. However. MIR.
Thomas says that there are certain indi-
yiduals and institutions in the United States
that are authorized to present names for
Nobel prizes. but it is desired that their
names shall not be made public 1t Is pre-
sumed, he says. that a name worthy to be
honOred by Nobel prize would suggest
itself to those authorized to present it. and.
he adds that it is hoped the prize shall in
all cases, seek the benefactor, and not the
benefactor the prize.

the cause of the Chicagoan's visit. 1t is be-

his presidency. According to report Hart

situation In the east up to date, and as
soon the law suit in New York is settled
Spalding will return to the east and renew
his fight in support of his policy.
If the courts declare in favor Of Mr.

vigorous campaign. unless some compro-
