TO CURTAIL LEGATION
GEN. DAVIS MAY BE GIVEN MIN
IsTER BARRETT's FUNCTIONS.

There is a strong probability as one step
toward simplifying the administration of
affairs on the canal zone that the func-
tons of the United States minister TO
Panama will be consolidated with those of
the governor of the canal zone. A rec
ommendation to that effect has been made
to Secretary Taft and to.4Searetary Hay
by Mr.. Barrett, the present United States
minister to Panama. AS the suggestion ap-
pears to be in line with the present pol
icy of the administration to reduce the
mechanism of the administration on the
isthmus in the interest OF expedition OIL
such negotiations as may De necessary
between our own government and that OF
Panama 1t is probable that the minister $
recommendation will be adopted, part1cu-
larIy in view of the fact that to make
the change Will involve no new legis!a-
ton. OF course, the immediate result OF
such action would be the vacation by Mr..
Barrett of his post as minister to Panama
and the assumption of the duties or that
place by Major General George b. Davis,
United States army, retired, the governor
of the canal zone
The basis of the suggestion from Minister
Barrett lies in the fact that within few
months all matters at issue between the
government here and the government or
Panama not relating to the canal project or
details of administration In the canal zone
can be concluded between the retiring min
lister and the Panaman government, leaving
little for Gen Davis to transact in the way
of bubsiness with the Panaman government
outside of canal matters. AT present, hav-
ing an accredited United States minister at
Panama, the Panaman government feels
bound to avail itself of that method of COM
municating with the government of the
United States on all subjects, no matter
how trivial even where they relate solely
to canal matters directly in charge of the
government of the zone. The result is
considerable loss of time in the negotia-
tons, and besides that, there are always
chances of friction betwee nthe governor
and minister, which would entirely disap-
pear were the negotiations confined to
either one of them. Besides, the change
would result in the saving of the sum of
$4,000 per annum involved in maintaining
the United States legation at Panama and
in other economies. suggestion looking
to consolidation of the two officers, SINH
lar to the one made by the present minis
ter to Panama, was originally made by
Mr.. w. l. Buchanan, the first United States
minister to the new republic.

AMBASSADOR FROM BRAZIL.
The Minister at London Will Be Ap.
pointed to the Position.

Brazil has finally determined to elevate
her legation at Washington to an embassy,
and will appoint her minister at London,
Mr.. Nabuco, her first ambassador to
this country. That appointment will neces-
state similar action on the part of the
United States government and as soon as
the official announcement of Mr.. Nabucos S
appointment Is made the President will
send the nomination of Mr.. Thompson,
United States minister at Brazil, to be am
hassador at Rio de Janeiro
Mr.. Nabuco is one of the most distin-
guished men in BraZils foreign service. He
was formerly al Rome, and about twenty
FIVE years ago was in Washington as secre
tary of legation. He Is a writer well
known in South America, and is the author
of an important political history of his
country. The Brazilian government will
maintain an elegant embassy here, and her
ambassador will have a number of secre-
tares to assist him. Mr. Ferreira, who is
now acting minister, will probably be given
European post upon the arrival of Mr..
Nabuco.

MIRSKY AND REFORMS
RUSSIAN ADVOCATE MAY RETIRE
IN. wITTE NOT IN HARMONY.

ST. PETERSBURG, January ON. Witte
as Interior Minister Sviatopolk- Mirsky's
successor, and holding position in the
councils of Emperor Nicholas approa ching
General Loris Melikoff's during the trying
nihilistic days Of Alexander II, may be one
of the startling results of the contest wag-
ing over the question of interior reforms.
The popular idea has been that Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky and NJ. Witte were act
ing in harmony in this matter, but the AS
sociated Press learns from the highest
source that exactly the opposite is the fact.
They can more properly be described as
rivals and opponents than as friends. De-
spite the difficulty of Minister Sviatopolk-
Mirsky's role since he assumed office, owing
to the powerful influences .arrayed against
him, he has been able to hold his own with
continued marks of the emperors conf
dence and approval.
M. Witte Changes Situation.
With NJ. Whites advent upon the scene.
however, the situation changed.
Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky stuck manfully
by his guns, defending the policy on which
he accepted office, but he found NJ. Witte
antagonizing the very principles which he
considered VITAL thus rallying his opponents
on his side, and the prince found the ground
slipping from under him. NJ. Witte pre-
vailed III the matter of the imperial mani
festo, the haZy terms of which did not
meet with Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky's views.
According to the latters friends the con-
test was resumed Immediately upon the
convening of the committee of ministers,
the prince finding NJ. Witte opposed to the
proposition to invite in a consultative
capacity the various classes interested in
the reforms.
Contest in Diplomacy.
The princes friends believe NJ. Witte at
heart would go farther than the former, but
that it suits his present purpose to adopt a
more conservative attitude until all the
reins of power are firmly in his own hands.
Under the circumstances the prince,
whose health is really greatly impaired.
and who is a plain-spoken man, unschooled
in the art of intrigues feels himself un-
equal to the task of continuing the work,
and has confided to his friends, within twen-
ty-four hours, that he prefers to retire.
Whether he has actually rendered his res
ignation the Associated Press is not in a
position to say, but that it may come any
minute is certain.
