DR.. Wilson is a native OF Roxbury. n. Y,
and lives in Brooklyn.
The third Wilson in the House comes
from Blossburg. Pa. and bears the name
of William BauchOp. Like Secretary
James Wilson, he IS Scottish by birth.
having first seen the light of day in
Blantyre, Scotland. April ?. 1852. He
came TO this country with his parents in
1870 and settled at ArnOt. TiOga County.
Pa. beginning work IN the coal mines
within year after his arrival. From
that time on he has taken an active in
terest in the cause Of labor. and has in
troduced a number Of bills in Congress
in an effort to relieve the burden of the
coal miners of his State.
He was international secretary Of the
United Mine Workers Of America from
1870 TO 1905 and has served in the Six
tieth, Sixty-iirst. and SiXty-second Con-
crosses.
In the Army and Elsewhere.
The Wilson family in the army Is rep
reese nted by two brigadiers general. both
veterans OF the civil war. and both re-
Cipients OF medals for bravery during
that struggle. one of them. John Mould
ing Wilson. is also an engineer of note,
having had charge Of the completion OF
the Washington Monument and other en-
cheering works Of a high class. Charles
Irving Wilson IS the other.
In almost every branch Of the govern
ment service we find numbers Of VIII
sOns-in fact. there are 556 OF them emu
merated in the official blue book OF
Uncle Sans servants. Clarence R. Will
son is United States Attorney. John VIII
son is chief clerk of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service. Peter NJ.
Wilson is assistant diSbursing clerk OF
the Senate. W. f. Wilson is secretary OF
the International Waterways Commits
sion. Ripley Wilson is vice and deputy
consul general at Moscow. Charles Stet-
son Wilson is secretary OF the embassy
at Rome. Capt. H n Wilson. L. :. y.
commands the North Dakota. Capt. J.
c. Wilson. L. s. y. is situated at New
York City, and Hugh Wilson has just
been appointed secretary Of the legation
and charge d'affaires at Guatemala City.
So it is evident that. even though the
Democrats fail in their ambition to elect
Wilson President of the United States,
there will be plenty of them left to take
care of the government.

MAY REFUSE CUBA LOAN.
L. 8. May Put Foot Down on Isln d
Incurring Further obligations.

Discussion in the Cuban legislature
of the project of President Gomez for a
81. 600. 900 loan is being closely followed
by Minister Beaupre at Havana and Off
Gals of the State Department.
: AS long as the proposition is merely
under discussion II is unlikely that this
government will express itself to Cuba
in regard to the loan. Should Congress
accept President Corners proposal. how
ever, the United States will exercise its
rights under the Plat amendment and
pass upon the proposition. 1t is doubt
full whether consent to the loan will be
given by this government, and without
the consent of the United States there
Will be no loan made.
The impression prevailing in Wash
ington Is that The revenues of Cuba, I'M
der the Present administration, are not
sufficient to warrant the mourning by
Cuba of any further financial obligation.
President Gomez has stated that he
desires the sl1.O00.oOO for sewers and
other public works, which a pervious
loan, carried by Speyer Bros. was sup
posed to provide for. Charge is being
made in Cuba that the proceeds of this
earlier loan have been frittered away in
projects not supposed to have been I'M
dertaken with the loan funds.

valuable nature that when the post at

When the Democratic National Con-
vention at its recent session in Balti-
more selected Woodrow Wilson. Gov
ernor of New Jersey, TO carry the party's
standard during the coming campaign II
picked a representative of one of the
best known and most prominent fami-
lies in public life to-day-although the
man in the street" did not, and probably
does not, realize this without cudgeling
his brain to remember just how many
Wilson's draw their salaries from State
or Federal governments.
The selection of Woodrow Wilson as
Democratic nominee for the Presidential
term of 1897 naturally places the name
of the executive of New Jersey at the
head of the list Of famous Wilson's. But
there are others of the same clan who
have risen to positions of prominence in
nearly all branches of endeavor-diplo-
matte, agricultural, military, legislative,
and judicial.

family name, We are told by genealo-
gists, and the last '1' and the as" were
dropped as time went on, and the name
took its present form. At least two OF
the prominent Wilson's are of Scotch
birth, and two more OF direct Scottish
descent, so that this branch of the fam
lily may fairly be said to be well repre-
sented on this side OF the Atlantic.
Judge James Wilson. grandfather to
the present Democratic nominee, emf

1907. He settled in Philadelphia and
there became manager of the Aurora,

During his term as Third Assistant

had become imbued with the principles

Department was Just beginning to 'advo-

the practice OF these principles in the
Balkan States. Therefore. he applied
for post In South America. and on
January IL, 1909 was appointed Minister
to Argentina. He never went to his
post. however, for he was offered and
accepted the Assistant Secretaryshp of
