Washington D. c., Jan. s--Junius II.
Wells, wife and daughter OF Salt Lake
are here Said Mr. Wells; MY observa-
lions in Utah make me feel sure that
the Legislature Of our state will, be-
yond doubt, send MI Reed smoot to
the United States senate. Nothing but
that is good can be said Of MI Smoot
and the only thing that can
be urged against his election Ii his
religion, the Mormon" Church All
members of the Mormon" Church are
OF It's Priesthood That fact is not sufIi
Client to prevent him following the ordi
nary business pursuits. There Is no
question OF polygamy involved because
the gentleman has but one wife.
almost the only objection TO his
candidacy, that might be considered,
would be as TO whether II were IN good
taste In his official position IN aspire
10 the senate. That he Is coming seems
certain, and that he will sustain him
self creditably in Washington is equally
sure"

at Washington during the absence Of
Or. Won Holleben on sick leave, Chan
celor Won Buelow regarding the busi-
ness az Washington as so important at
present as TO require a special substi-
tute for the ambassador. The infer
ence naturally shows that Baron Won
Sternburg viii succeed DR.. Won Holle-
ben as ambassador should the latter's
health prevent his return. This infer
ence is confirmed by the fact that
Chancellor Won BuelOw months ago was
understood to have the baron in view
as Dr. Won Holeben's ultimate sue
cessor Besides, President Roosevelt, IL
was reported here two months ago, had
expressed approval Of Baron Won Stern
burg should the emperor desire HIM at

Dr.'yon Holleben has notified the for
eign office that he will sail from New
York on Saturday. His health was so
bad during his recent leave OF absence
that hisSaudience with the emperor was
postponed for six weeks. II is under
stood that the ambassadors present
leave Of absence is unlimited and that
II will certainly exceed six months. DR..
Won Holleben has heretofore found
Carlsbad the most favorable place for
regaining his strength and he will prob
ably so there upon his arrival In Ger
