NEWS AND GOSSIP ABOUT
MEN ON NEWSPAPER ROW

" HE new District Commissioner.
Henry l.. West. will be confirmed
i by the Senate by q unanimous
vote. And 1t will be done the
first day the Senate goes into executive
session. Mr.. West has reported the
Senate for about twenty years, with
slight intervals during which he has
filled Important desk positions on Wash
ington newspapers. and no correspondent
is better known to the Senate. In his
recent candidacy Mr.. West had the warm
support of the most prominent leaders
Of the Senate, notably Senator's Lodge
and Hanna.
Mr.. West has never been a politician
in the strict sense of the term, but has
always been Democrat, and was and is
very earnest admirer of Col. w. J.
Bryan. He was with Bryan during near
ly all his stupendous campaign tour of
1895, and shared In the enthusiasm that
the Great Defeated aroused In all the
newspaper men who travelled with him.
So that while Mr.. West owes his ap-
pointment to the appreciation and par
tiality Of President Roosevelt, he is a
sure enough Democratic regular, and
the spirit Of the law providing for the
present system of District government
Is fully carried out by his nomination
Mr.. West once had the peculiar privi-
lege of editing a Washington paper
in another city. It was at Detroit dur
ing an encampment of the Grand Army
rivaling in its dimensions the one late
ly closed in Washington. The idea orig
mated with big-brained Frank Hatton.
1t was handsomely executed by Mr..
West. Washington had large delega-
tion at Detroit bidding for the next con-
vention Of the G. A. r. (which, by the
way. it afterward securely. They
bought a whole page of the Detroit
Free Press" for week preceding the
vote on the location Of the convention,
and each day produced fac-simile of

Ira E. Bennett. Of the "San Francisco
Chronicle" Is blooming Iowa country
editor transplanted to the nations sun
set shores. After varying experiences in
rural and urban Iowa newspaper life he
removed to California with his fathers
family in 1887. Here he became con-
nected with the "San Biego Union"
with which he labored for number OF
years as city editor He also enjoyed an
experience. certainly unique among
Washington newspaper men. as a re-
porter and editor in the Mexican terri
tory of Baja, Cal. This comprises the
great peninsula between the Pacific
Ocean and the Gulf of California, which
last the old geographers called sea
and named after the Mexican conqueror
Cortez. His paper was located at En-
senada, across the international border.
During his residence in Lower Califor-
MIA he travelled extensively in that
sparsely settled and rich but little-de-
veloped domain OF Diaz. He also learned
to speak the Spanish language. In this
respect he has few rivals on the Wash
ingtcn press, although quite number
of the boys who have passed some time
in the American Antilles have acquired
considerable fiuency in that tongue.
From San Diego Mr.. Bennett proceeded
to San Francisco and became member
of the staff of the Chronicle" serving
In successive advancing positions until
he came to Washington two years ago.
He knows all about both the CALIFORNIA;,
and the West and Southwest generally
and has given his paper spirited as well
as faithful service. Any correspondent
can be faithful; 1t takes good one to
furnish live stuff, brightly written.

The Diplomatic Corps.

Senior de O5eda has been engaged the
past few days in calling upon other
members OF the diplomatic corps, some
Of whom are said to have criticised his
delay in complying with this formality.
He. however. took the view that until he
had been presented to the President he
should efface himself socially, and
should neither make visits, even Of an
informal character. or accept invita-
tions.
Senor Ojeda's present plan is to re-
tain the legation in Massachusetts, Ave-
niue. which has been occupied by his
predecessors since the time OF Dupuy de
LONE.
Sonora de Ojeda will Join her husband
some time within the next few weeks.
6enor and Sonora Walker Martinez,
with their children. are still at the
Arlington. but will take possession Of
the new legation, the Matthews house,
as soon as 1t IS in order for their recep-
tion. Senior Walker Mariners prede-
cessor. the late Senor vicuna. occupied
the Matthews house at the beginning Of
his service here. At that time many
valuables belonging to the minister's
family were destroyed by fire.
Sonora Walker Martinez is woman of
fine presence and grace OF manner, and,
like her husband, speaks English fu-
emily. The children of the family will
be placed in Washington schools.
A recent addition to the diplomatic
corps is Senor Don Domingo Cana, son
of the present Chilean minister at the
Court of St James, who represented Chile
at this capital from 1886 to 1888, and
again from 1895 to 1888. His children
were partly educated here, and made
many friends among the younger people
in society. Sepor Gana's return to Wash
ington in an official capacity was almost
like a home coming, and he anticipates
much pleasure from his present detail.
Senior Cana was married about Ave
years ago to Senorita Serano. Sonora
Cana is a graceful. pretty woman, with
beautiful eyes and winning expression.
She might be taken for younger sister
of Madame Hengelmuller. so like is she
to the wife of the Austrian minister.
The other members of the Cana house
hold are two small daughters, Sophia,
aged four, and the baby, Elena. Senor

Saturday.

Saturday was circus day il GoOdlaud,

people were in the city from the sur

The afternoon performance started at
two o'clock and was witnessed by 1900
people. Campbell Bros. give a good ex-

they should be commended is the alb

Hammers usually found with a circus
The crowd at the evening performance
was considerably smaller than in the

THE "WAR' IS OVER.
Outbreak Between the Oak
Ranch and SeighbOring Farmers
Is Averted-


The cattle war between the Oak ranch
in Rawlins county, owned by the Deweys,
and the farmers Of that locality is 10
longer imminent. D. p Berry and MS
son, the instigators Of the trouble, are 10
Jail at Atwood. Berry was held under a
SEQ peace bond and was unable to get
'boadsmen. His attorney, NJ. A. Wilson,
succeeded IN getting his release upon a
writ Of habeas corpus last week. He
was no sooner released, however, than
he was re-arrested upon the charge of
assault and battery.
A committee Of farmers chosen to in
vestigate the trouble between the Berrys
and the Oak ranch people, found that
the land upon which Berry claimed
Dewey's cattle had trespassed belonged
to Dewey, and that Berry had been
served with a writ of ejectment from the
Rawlins county district court.
After ascertaining the facts of the
case the majority of the farmers that
were demanding Berry's release refused
to have anything further TO do with the
matter.
