days upon the arrival of a letter to
learn the exact nature of the repre-.
sensations made to this government
by Germany in connection with the
selection of DR.. David Jayne Hill as
American ambassador at Berlin is not
clear, yet, according to the official
statement, such is the case. The fact
is that as far as official records go
the state department is not even yet
poss essed of the information that DR..
Hills selection was not acceptable to
the German emperor. It does know,
however, that Ambassador Tower,
whom DR.. Hill was to succeed, has
dispatched letter from Berlin to the
state department in relation to this
matter and If public interest In the
subject continues to increase as it has

Springfield, ILL.,, March 27.-The Re-

Chicago convention was held here
The convention was solidly for JOS
eph G. Cannon for president and en-
dorsed his candidacy in as strong
terms as language permitted. It also
upheld the administration of Gov.
arnor Deneen and commended his
conduct of public affairs. All other
state officers Of the party were en-
'dorse cd, as were United States Sem
ators Cullom and Hopkins. The ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt
also was highly praised.
The tariff plank of the platform
was the subject of much discussion
and nothing definite was done with it
until Congressman Boutell arrived
with the last Washington ideas of
the best way in which it should be
worded. The final draft of the plank
did not, however, differ greatly from
the original wording. It declared in
favor of tariff adjustment" in place
of revision" it being the idea of it's
trainers that the former word is the
more comprehensive.

tween DR.. Hill and Prince Henry
There were, however, several happen

which, taken together, led to the form

Hill by Prince Henry and his en-
tourage. That such an estimate was
formed has been known at Washing

was not known at the state depart

The sudden publicity given the Ger
man intimation that DR.. Hill would
not be received in Berlin has created
a sensation in the diplomatic corps,
where the disposition is to consider
that some one has committed an in

neving that the matter could not have
been arranged in less direct way.
