The National tribune., 1908-09-24

Pieripotentiary, who has served that
State of many revolutions for nearly
10 years. but he has been recalled. His
name and title are Quite as long as him
self, when combined, for with the title
goes the handie-Senor Don Luis Corea
Senior Corea is very rich, and has al
ways maintained a home here, where
he kept bachelor apartments for about
eight years. He entertained magnifi-
Gently. Suddenly it was announced that
he would marry the beautiful Mrs. 1llah
Jordan, Southerner. Mrs. Jordan came
to Washington to visit, and Senor Corea
page at her side, especially in his
diplomatic uniform, for he is so little
and she is so regal. They appeared at
a State reception at the White House,
where they were the center of attrac-
ton for one whole evening. Then Mrs.
Jordan went home, and then-oh, then!
Word came back that Mrs. Jordan had
Tilted the senior, because she had proof
positive that he had negro blood in his
veins! The marriage-or engagement
was off evidently, for Mrs. Jordan few
months later married another man.
That the Nicaraguan Minister had any
taint of the African in his veins was,
of course, diSproved at once. While

couldn't possibly be any taint of the
negro in him. Later he married Miss
India Belle Fleming. the daughter of
a very rich man living in Washington.
Miss Fleming was debutante, and her
mother much desired her to get intol
the diplomatic circle, it was said at the
time. OF course, those little South
American countries have about as much
standing among diplomats as a town
MaVnr yynlrId with tho President
but there are women to whom the
glamor of the ragged edge of the gilded
circle outweighs all else. Pretty Nine.
Corea will now have to leave her moth
er, the diplomatic" circle, and Wash
ingtOn, and take up life in Nicaragua,
where she will not be treated with
overmuch courtesy. as they do not like
Americans down there, and it is sug-
gested that the American marriage may
be one of the reasons for recall. A baby
was born to the CoreaS last Spring.
Senor Corea is a man of unblemished
reputation and integrity, and has been
most acceptable here.

D., met Kermit Roosevelt at Huron, S.

WI Ting Fang. the Chinese Minister,
has received authority from his Gov
tion treaty with the United States Gov
ernment- The provisions of the treaty,
it Is understood, will be along the same
general lines as those negotiated with
the great powers of the world, and its
signature by the two contracting parties
will practically round out the list 6fI
countries with which the American
Government has sought to obtain arbi-
tration treaties.
Differences affecting the vital inter-
ests or the independence or honor of
the contracting States are expected from
the questions which may be arbitrated.

One of the surprises of the primaries
in the recent nominating" bouts in
the States is the defeat of ]. Adam
Bede for return to Congress from the
Eighth Minnesota District. The result
of the primary was landslide for his
opponent, Clarence 3. Miller. Clarence
may be a mighty fine man, and presum-
ably Minnesota would not think of
sending any other kind to represent her
in Congress, but he has got to be a
hummer to trot in the same class with
j. Adam. Mr.. Bede had gained world
wide reputation as a story teller and
as platform lecturer 1t is said that
in the campaign against him it vas
urged that he spent most of his time
lecturing and away from his Congress
sional duties. but that isn't true. Rep
resentatiye Bede is one of the close at
tend3pts on the House, and one of its
best-liked members.

maries to succeed Williams.
The desire to make Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson United States Senator
from Iowa has failed, as it was ex-
pected by those who know things, that
1t would fail. Secretary Wilson says
he'd rather be Secretary of Agriculture
than anything else.
