Congressman James A. Hemenway of

'He will take the position" said Con-

be a scramble for the office and he will
only say that he will accept 1t after he

HONORED BY
FRENCH
REPUBLIC

Paris, June 1s.-President Loubet has
conferred upon the American ambassador,
Gen. Porter. the grand cross of the
Legion OF Honor, which Is the highest
grade of that historic order. 1t is an
honor rarely bestowed. even on chiefs
of state and ambassadors, and it is the
first time that IL has ever been offered
to representative OF America.
AS under the provision OF the constitu-
ton the acceptance OF any mark OF dis
tinction from a foreign country, even
from republic, requires the approval OF
congress. final action in the matter will
wait the authorization of that body.
Foreign Minister De1casse called at the
ambassadors residence this morning and
personally presented him with the superb
insignia OF the grand cross. This con-

The Grand cross Is the highest OF the
five grades OF the Legion OF Honor. These
consist of chevalier officer, commander,
grand officer and grand cross. The latter
is the grade worn by NJ Loubet and has
been conferred only a few times in recent
years. That the American ambassador
should have been singled out for this
notable honor Is considered to be per-

of the cordial sentiments OF the French
government towards America
