NORTHWEST LACKS LOYALTY.
Oregon and Alaska Will Have No Rep
resentatives In the Parade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-Lo-
inaugural ceremonies and parade were
compelled to announce today that
there are only two representatives
from the Pacific northwest states in
the program as it appears to date.
They are two aides from Washington
state and are detailed on the staff Of
Gen. Chaffee, chief marshal. They
were nominated by Gov. Mead. Gen.
Chaffee declined to make the names
public tonight in advance Of the gen.
eral orders governing the parade.
Those in charge of the ceremonies
say it is not their fault that there will
be no other representatives from
Washington and that none from Ore
gon or Alaska will appear officially on
the program.
invitations to Governors.
Immediately after the Inauguration
committees were appointed invitations
were extended to the governors of
these states and Alaska to attend the
Inauguration personally and also to
designate two men each to act as aides
on the staff of the grand marshal.
The adjutant- generals of Washington
and Oregon were also asked to fur
of
tions likely to attend so that places
might be assigned them in the line
of march.
Beyond the nominations of two aides
by Governor Mead, no responses has
been received to these invitations. In
vitations We're also extended to re-
publican organizations in these states
through senators and congressman,
but there is no indication of any po-
litical clubs coming from the north
west. Chairman B. II. Warner, of the
committee in charge of the civic or
CARNATIONS, said tonight:
No Civic Organizations.
Cordial invitations were issued to
civic organizations in these states and
we regret that no acceptances have
come. If any should like places in the
line reserved let them telegraph say
ing they are coming and space will
be assigned tnem.'
He states further that no state west
of South Dakota will have political
organizations in line and the wonder
is expressed whether this is due to
lack of enthusiasm for Roosevelt or
because of the inability of western re-
publicans to come as organizations on
account of the expense. Anyway, it
is a great disappointment to those In
charge of the Inauguration, who had
looked for liberal representation from
the far west.

Hack really is. 1 was fortunate enough

then he has greatly improved, and now

He is to wrestlers what Jeffries is

In his match with Jenkins in Lon

second a minute or so less.

,'TI FOUNDED TO HER DEATH.
Life Is Attempted, Threatening Letters

SWANSEA, Feb. 21.--COnsumption,
developed as the result of cruel, per-
SiStent and mysteriOusly persecution,
has this week ended the life Of a pretty
Welsh girl named Edith Davies, at the
age of a years.
The story of the last two years of
her life reads like the pages of some
ultra sensational novel. Up to two or
three years ago there was no happier
girl in the village. Then, returning
home late one evening, she was way
laid by an unknown man and stabbed
with knife.

letters which threatened her life made

handed to the police who kept diligent
watch.

HENRY WILSON MAY WIN OUT
EVEN IF BOTH SENATORS AN
kENY AND FOSTER UNITE
TO FIGHT HIM.
Roosevelt Will Not Consider Politics in
His Consular Appointments
Will Promote Best Man.

If the senators from the state of
Washington undertake to prevent the
confirmation of Henry L. Wilson of
Seattle, as minister to Brussels, it is
predicted that they will find they are
humping their heads against a stone
wall.
1t is perhaps natural that they
should not like to see the brother of
John l.. Wilson given one of the most
desirable appointments in the liplo-
matte service, asserts the Washington
correspondent of the Everett Herald.
but even United States senators have
to swallow bitter pills under this ad-
ministration.
Wilson's appointment to Brussels is
not political one; it is a promotion
on merit, pure and simple. AS min
lister to Chill, Wilson won the hearty
approval of the secretary of state and
of the president; he showed his ability;
he made an excellent record 1t is
President Roosevelts announced in
tention to fill the higher diplomatic
positions by promoting men who have
exhibited ability in lesser posts Will
son was not promoted because of any
political Endorsement ne had. In fact,
he was not in position to have politi-
cal backing, for he was not on good
terms, politically, with either senator
from his state.
But Secretary Hay and the presi-
dent knew what Wilson could do, ana
knew what he had DONE and the record
was satisfactory to them. That was
enough. A vacancy occurred; Wilson
had earned promotion. SO he was
moved up.
Why Wait Month.
When they heard that Wilson was
to be promoted. both Washington SEN
ators indicated their their intention of
holding up his nomination. 1t is hard
to tell from advance notices, what the
Washington senators will do in exec
utive session, as has recently been de-
monstrated, but if they carry out their
threat and attempt to prevent Will
sons confirmation, they will be turned
down. To oppose Wilson would be to
oppose the president, and there is no
doubt but what the president is much
stronger in the senate than the two
Washington senators. The Wilson
nomination is considered by the COM
mite on foreign relations. The pres
ident is stronger with that commit
tee than the Washington senators.
Wilson will find himself before the
senate, appointed on his record. in
dorsed by the president and secretary
of state, and approved by the commit
tee on foreign relations. That is a
combination that can not be beat. es-
pecially as there is no ground for OPP
posing him, other than a political one
1t is barely possible Wilson may
not be confirmed this session, but if he
is not, he will be at the short ses-
sion, for Senator Piles will hardly
care at the outset of his career to
buck the administration on a matter
of this kind, where he mas nothing to
gain and everything to lose.
Senatorial influence is a big thing,
but it dwindles into insignifcance
when it lines up with the influence of
the Roosevelt administration.
