SENATOR MILLARD is PLEASED
Thinks appointment of Thompson ms
Minister to Brazil a
Happy One.

The appointment of D. z. Thompson as
United States minister to Brazil ie ex-
pected to promote a larger Interchange of
business between distributing centers of
the west and the South American ports.
In an interview last evening on the sub
ject, Senator Willard said:
Commercially speaking, Mr.. Thompson's
appointment is a most happy one. A man
Of large affairs, and having important in
terests in Mexico, he has acquainted him
self with the manner OF doing business in
the Latin republics. With his commanding
business ability, he will, within a very
short time after reaching Rio de Janeiro,
grasp the new situation and, / feel sure,
prove himself quite equal to the oppor-
tunity before him"
Continuing, the senator said:
THE appointment of Mr.. Thompson is
only another evidence of the intense inter-
est Persistent Roosevelt feels in the popu-
lar movement toward republicanism In Ne
braska. Our state was never before hon
ored in higher degree in the selection OF
a foreign minister. The Brazil mission is
an exalted station and any man would be
proud to hold II. It's Importance was en-
HANGED by the war with Spain, which
raised the United States government in the
estimation Of every South American nation.
Many republicans have expressed great
satisfaction to me that my efforts to secure
this high place for Nebraska have been
crowned with success. and every member
Of the party has reason to rejoice over
this new distinction conferred by the pres
ident. It will encourage every republican
to work all the more for the upbuildins
OF the party and for the redemption Of the
four fusion congressional districts. As &c
the latter, my reports are highly favor.
able.
"In my talks with the president on the
subject Of this appointment l urged 1t be.
cause Of the good II would do to the party
OF the whole state in emphasizing the fac
that the president and his advisers NJ
longer regard Nebraska as a populisI
stronghold, but on the contrary. look to vi
as republicans with the utmost conHdenc,
that our party will win this fall"

MISS TAYLOR
FILES NEW
DEMURRER

Washington, Sept. 27.-The counse;
for Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, who was
dismissed recently from the war de-
partment as a result of her published
criticism of the administration policy
in the Philippines, yesterday filed a
demurrer to Secretary Roots answer
to her petition for a mandamus to
compel the secretary to restore her to
a clerkship. She alleges her removal
was without justice or authority of
law: that it was ebcause of her politi-
cal opinions, and that a clerk has vest
ed rights to once until removed by
proper authorities acting within the
range of their authority which she
disputes in this case. Her demurrer
contends that no head of an executive
department is empowered to remove a
subordinate in violation of the laws OF
congress or rules of the president.
