To Bow Before King.

] In the announcement of those who
are To represent the people of the
| United States ON the august occasion
of the coronation OF his royal high
ness. King Edward VII. of England,
President Roosevelt mas created con-
siderable surprise. The. selection of
lWhitelaw Reid as the special am
basSador. heading the list is an hon
or worthily bestowed from Polit-
ical standpoint. Through his long
career as editor of the New York
Tribune Mt. Ried has placed himself
in a position to expect the best that
his party may give him-even to the
privilege of bowling before the king.
His party. too, has not failed to
recognize its deep sense of obliga-
tiOn to the great editor. He has
held numerous high offices of trust
and responsibility when his party
has been in power and was honored
with second place on the ticket with
Gen. Harrison when the latter was
defeated for reelection to the pres
idency. The last position that Reid
had was as a member of the Paris
peace commission. He has been
away from home often enough to
know how to behave and may be re-
lied upon to do the graceful at the
court of St. James in the forthcom-
ing event.
The snub of Miles and Dewey in the
selection of representatives of the
army and navy is too apparent to
be otherwise than keenly felt in mil
itary circles at the national capital.
While in the case of Gen. Wilson and
Capt. Clark the president has con
ferred distinction richly deserved,
especially in the case of Capt. Clark,
who next to Dewey was the honored
naval figure of the war with Spain.
it is seIf-evident that the desire that
prompted the appointments was
more TO spite the present heads of
the two military branches of the
government than TO particularly IA
yor those who have been named.
In addition to these appointments
the president has named j. Pierpont
Morgan. .Jr.. Edmund Lincoln Bay
lies, of New York. and William Wet
more of Rhode Island. as secretaries
of the special embassy. Morgan, as
his name implies. is the son of j.
Pierpont Morgan, the multimillion
aire manipulation and creator of bill
lion-dollar trusts. Baylies is also the
son of millionaire. Wetmore is
the son of the junior senator from
Rhode Island. Not one of the trio
has ever lad any previous diplomatic
experience. Young Morgan practi-
calIy lives in London. He is the head
of the English house of j. Pierpont
Morgan 6, Co.. and his acceptance of
the presidents appointment, which
will be of incalculable benefit to him
socially. VII simply involve the mail
ing of a letter in London If he does
not care to cross the Atlantic to
thank the president He has not as
yet eXpatriated himself by becoming
a subject of King Edward. but ne is
none the less an English business
man. His selection was due partly
to his fathers influence at the White
House. The choice of the secre
taries. as a whole, may be taken as
the presidents personal favors.

Hitt sees It DinerentIy Sow.

Congressman Robert II. Hit, chair
man of the foreign affairs commit

advocates of Chinese exclusion law
This. after being for years the rec
ognized leader of all the opposition,
and the chief opponent of Geary, the
author of the present act.
Il am going to- do all I can 10
hasten the passage of an act TO keep
out cooIie labor said Mr.. Hit, dis
cussing the subject recently. Il
have urged the members from the
coast to get a bill before our com
mittee at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The bill will not have any
opposition. ] am the only bad MEM
ber. and am perfectly amiable now.
Nobody wants this legislation more
than /. 1 shall try TO limit debate;
there is nothing to argue about and
nobody to take the negative. What's
the use talking about thing on
which all are agreed?"
The friendliness of the chairman
of the foreign affairs committee is
due. he says. to the negotiations of
a treaty with China since the date
of the Geary act. This treaty was
largely Mr. Hits work. In con-
junction. with Mr.. Gresham, in 1896,
it was drawn. The treaty reads:
