Tentative Selections.

Russia has announced to the President
the tentative selection of her plenipotenti-
aries as follows: NJ. Nelidoff the Russian
ambassador at Paris, and Baron Rosen the
newly appointed Russian ambassador at
washington. Russia having thus taken the
initiative, 1t Is believed that Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, has informally told
the President that Japans selections also
tentative, were: Baron komura, the Japa-
nese minister for foreign affairs, and 10
goro Takahfra. the Japenese minister at
Washington.
Ohcial announcement of the names Of the
plenlpotehtiaries is withheld for several rea-
sons. NJ. Nelidoff's health may not permit
MN to make the trip, and pressure of Off
cal work may neceSsitate the presence in
Tokyo of Baron Komura Mr. Takahira
and Baron ROSen are regarded az the COR
tafnties. and the belief is that unless some
| thing unforeseen should occur both Russia
and Japan will consent to the official an
nouncement of the personnel of the WASH
lngton conference within a few days In
any event, both missions will consist of
many advisors including army and possibly
naval officers and officials from the foreign
offices in Tokyo and ST. Petersburg 1t is
expected that altogether each mission may
number ten or twelve. Should six pleni-
fpotentiaries be- chosen. both RUSSIA and
Japan. 1t Is learned, have names under con-
sideration which will enable them to an
nounce their third plenipotentiaries without
delay. -
Japan is having difficulty in selecting the
mead of her mission for the conference

IS understood that Baron Komura, minister
for foreign affairs, is among one of several
whose name is under consideration
Minister Takahira to Be Promoted.
In recognition of his services during the
preliminary negotiations, and in view of
the high rank of the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries, 1t is believed that the official an
nouncement of Mr.. Takahira's appointment
Will be followed by his elevation to the
rank of ambassador. In view OF the fact
that Japan intends. when the war is over
to elevate her legations at Washington,
London. Berlin, Paris, Vienna. St Peters
burg and Rome to embassies 1t is be-
leved Mr.. Takahira's elevation would be
permanent. While it Is not certain that he
will be given ambassadorial rank nor is 1t
necessary to his appointment az a pleni-
potentiary, officials of the American gov
eminent point out that this would be the
regular and expected course for the Japa-
nese government to follow.

Big Money in Sheep.

albuquerque MOTHlaS JOui1dA
Sheep owe in New Mexico are
fairly %wallowing in prosperity. After
two or three more less successful
seasons, they have come upon a sea
son which is all success Prosperity
and high prices have been thrown at
the sheep men in punches and the
end is not yet. Following a season OF
record smashing prices for wool, with
an exceptionally large crop of the
1eecy to sell, the New Mexico sheep
man faces the alternative OF holding
his sheep for another banner wool
crop, at prices that promise to be
even higher h in the season just
closed, or to sell his sheep on a mar
ket, which for lofty climbing, has
not been equalled for many years. 1t
is a situation calculated to make the
sheep owner smile. st. Louis mark
the closing Saturday with lambs at
$3.50 to $3.50, and choice sheep
around $3.50 to $3.50, prices which,
in comparison with those of the past
few years, are phenominally high.
The rise of the market is due to the
comparative scarcity of the visible
supply, and to the high prices of wool.
which call up visions of future profit.
Stories are being told in the markets
of ST. Louis, Kansas City and Chica-
60, of sheep buyers and feeders who
have come into New Mexico with
large buying orders and who have
gone away without a sheep. They
are going into the Northwest, where
they say they can get only a small
percentage of the sheep they want.
No wonder the New Mexico sheep
man does not want to sell his sheep
unless he gets the top price of the
lofty market for them. His prospects
are far too good to encourage him to
sell for the old bad year figures. This
is the year the sheep grower has
things pretty nue. his own way. He
is prosperous, and the rest of New
Mexico reflects his prosperity.
