is beginning to regard Mr. Bryce's acceptance as
a foregone conclusion. The London Tribune.
referring to-day to the subject. points out that
the post of Ambassador to Washington might
easily become the most exalted in the diplomatic
service, despite contentious to the contrary. The
paper adds that the possibility of Mr. Bryce's
acceptance of the post meets general approval
both In England and the United States. ~Presi-

tinues, has allowed 1t TO be known that he
would cordially welcome Mr.. Bryces appoint

nized that post so attractive. influential and
distinguished would be fitting climax to Mr..
Bryce's long public career"
Among the notable runors concerning Cabinet
changes is pointing to John Burns for pro-
motion. He is even named as the successor of
Mr.. Bryce as Chief Secretary for Ireland. In
any case he has been so successful in his pres
