MINISTER TO PANAMA
w. I. Buchanan, of New York, to Be
First Representative to the Now
isthmian Republic-Panama Calls
for Constitutional Election.

Washington. Dec. 12.-President
Roosevelt has selected WI Buchanan,
of New York. to be first United States
minister to Panama.
Buchanan's selection was brought
about by desire on the part OF the
president to secure temporarily at least
and during the crystalIzation of the re-
iat.ons between the United States and
Panama the services Of a trained Dip
lomatic representative, having special
reference to his knowledge OF Latin
American races. BY reason OF long
service as United States minister to
the Argentine Republic, Buchanan fills
that description in the estimation Of
the state department. 1t Is understood
his assumption OF duties is not to be
permanent, for he sacrificed large
business interests to undertake the
work.
Buchanan was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland as minister to Buenos
Ayres. His record there was so satis-
factory that Mckinley continued him
at his post for several years after his
accession to, the ONCE.
The state department has been in
formed that final steps have been taken
for formation of permanent repub
lican form of government in Panama.
The news came in a dispatch from Con-
sui General Gudger, dated Panama,
today. as follows:
Election for constitutional conven
tion called for Jan. 4. The eonven-
ton meets January 20"
Later the president sent to the SEN
ate Buchanan's nomination. also that of
Thomas ]. Atkins, OF st. Louis, as as
sistant treasurer.

NoRplcA SUES FOR DIVORCE.
The Noted Singer Seeks Separation
From Her Tenor Husband.

New FORK. Dec. 12.-Mme Nordica
has begun suit for absolute divorce
from her husband, Zoltan Doeme, and
the suit will be tried in this city. Since
the prinia donna arrived in this coun-
try last October, and even before that,
runors were afioat OF unpleasant re-
lations between her and her husband
but ever her closest friends refrainsd
from making public the true nature Of
her martial difficulties until yester-
day
The papers in the case have been
filed with q firm OF lawyers in Wall
street, and the case will be heard as
soon as possible. Doeme arrived in
New York about ten days ago. and was
served with papers In the suit when he
stepped from the steamer. At pres
ent he is In private sanitarium in
this city. where it is said he is border
ing on nervous collapse.
1t was learned last night that more
than year ago, when the trouble be-
tween her and her husband became
known, mutual friends tried to make
peace, but matters grew worse instead
of better. When she came to New
York another effort was made to patch
up the difficulties.
1t was understood at that time a
separation was threatened. but there
was no thought Of absolute divorce SO
far as her acquaintances We're in
formed. Nordica listened patiently 20
the proffered counsel of friends, but
quietly Informed them that she kne "
best and her mind was made up.
Deome was in Paris at the time ami
was said to be in i'll health.
Her friends say she suffered from the
neglect Of Doeme. who made free use
OF her money.
Too Attentive to Melba.
There have been rumors that Doeme
is accused by his wife of paying too
much attention to Melba in Paris dur
ing the last year. but an informant said
this was not true. 1T is no more Mel
ha than many others he said. Doe
ME is an attractive man. He is a tall
ented singer and has numberless adj
mirers among society women and
singers; no doubt his temptations have
been many"
Doeme is well known singer. He
appeared as Parsifal not long ago In
the Wagner theater in Baireuth. He
is a man of exceptionally good looks
and possesses a fine voice.
Married in 1896.
Lillian Nordica was married to Herr
Zoltan Il. Docme, the Hungarian tenor,
at indianapolis on May 26. 1896 Her
first husband was Frederick A. Cover,
wealthy electrician, to whom she was
married in Faris. in 1882. They did
not live happily and three years after
wards Nordioa began suit for separa-
ton The trial of the action was post
poned, and In 1887, before decision
was reached, 1t was reported Cover
had lost his life while attempting to

not been denied by the preacher, as
no one has had the courage to tell of
the girls accusation.
His parishioners, however declare
that the accusation is false, and give

Sundays was recently rejected at the
instance of the pastor. They say she
