,oraon. Mty 3O.--Hon. Michael Henry
r',ssr who is nominally secretary to
>. prltish embassy at Paris, will prob
Al, no the next British ambassador to
M United states in succession to the
Me Lord Pauncefote'
vr Herbert's appointment Will prob
.h,v not be announced until the re-
aims Of Lord Pauncefote, arrive in
rngIapd The only question In regard
"a Mr.. Herbert's selection is the APP
n,ovsl OF King Edward. The Associat-
a Press understands that his majesty
!. taxing a keen personal interest In
-. natter OF Lord Pauncefote's sue
wy .sor bnt he will not be asked Of
S.lsIy 10 confirm or dlsapproye the
,snSijate Of the foreign office until
%s nercd Of time during which the
,ovsrnnent pays respect to the late
s,J pauncefote has elapsed.
While there Is no reason to believe
,hat King Edward will object to Mr.,
ls,bert who has the official backing
~ Min English and American dlplo-
,,.ts there must always remain an
aismept Of doubt In the matter until
M suggested appointment receives the
so,ai sanction, and especially in view
~ me- acute attention which his ma
,egty has given to this important pro-
motion,
Washington has been still further COM
slicated By the unexpected delay In
ending over Lord Pauncefote's re-
ralns The British government, Of
fciapy fully expected Lord Paunce-
ms body would arrive In England
t-ior 10 the coronation, and II Is not
Htle Disconnected by the receipt OF
DISPATCHES announcing that the obse-
CUES in England will not occur until
July,
bsr as ambassador TO the United
States was reached after many consult
utons with those who are best fit
led to voice an opinion In the matter.
While, nomnaly, secretary TO the Brit
kb embassy at Paris, Mr., Herbert was
really minister plenipotentiary TO
France, and as such he frequently act
"a IN most important crises in the abb
sence Of Sir mund j. Monson, Great
Brltains am ssador there,
NJ Horbets marriage with Leila,
daughter Of Richard T. Wilson Of New
York. as a result OF which he becomes
closely related to the Vanderbllts, Og-
Den GOelet and the Astors, will not in
ans way interfere, according 70 opin-
ion here, with BIS usefulness as Great
Britains ambassador to Washington.
Mr. Herbert's record at Washington
as charge dafalres from 1883 until
1889 and as secretary to the British le-
gallon there from 1899 TO 1893 and his
work as British agent on the Vene2ue-
Ian commission, emlnently fit him, 30
tflcial belief lnclInes, for his proposed
new and important duties. 80
At Paris Mr., Herbert's present posi-
4 ton 4 somewhat curious for while
4 holding the rank Of a full fedged
\ minister he has taken second place
Il when Sir Edmund j. Monson, the am
baSador is resident In France.
hion the new ambassador at Wash
hslon takes up his duties the salary
attached to the position will probably
b PIT upon par with the highest paid
b Great Britalp's diplomatic service,
hamey that which Is paid the ambas-
adof at Paris $4,000 year,
WOULD BIZ PERSONA GRATA.
Washington, May 3O.--While no Of
te0 Information can be had tonight
j. to whether this government has
been sounded as TO Mr. Herbert's ac-
Portability as British ambassador. II Is
believed by people familiar with his
Standing here while secretary Of the
tyallon and charge d'affalres that his
lsection would be entirely agreeable
70 the United States.
