Washington, Nov. 1.-THE prema-
ture cabinet-makers, who always make
1t a point to decide just who'll make
up new presidents official family be-
fore he himself has had time to de-
eide, have named William J. Bryan
secretary Of state under the Wilson
administration. FM.
In taking this important step they
have not consulted Mr.. Bryan, neither
have they conferred with Mr.. Wilson.
They have evolved the appointment
out OF theirsinner consciousness.
1t is likely, however, that before
March next Messrs. Wilson and Bry-
an VIII both have something to say
about the matter, Mr.. Wilson no
doubt feels very grateful to the Com
moner for all that the latter has done
to land him in the White House. But
he knows very well that Mr.. Bryan IN
fighting for Wilson's election was not
working for political prefer1nent Bry-
an made his great fight for Wilson be-
cause he believed the New Jersey
governor TO be better fitted than any
other candidate for the presidency
Gov, Wilson is not at all likely to
he sWayed by a sense of gratitude
in making cabinet selections. If he
believes Mr.. Bryan to be the abIest
democrat in the country for the Job
he will ask him to become secretary
of state; otherwise, the Nebraskan will
not be asked.
Even should Mr.. Wilson Invite Bry-
an to a seat in the cabinet, it would
not necessarily follow that the Com
moner would accept 1t. Mr. Bryan still
has his eye on the White House He

BRYCE TO

AMBASSADOR
VIII Clean up All Pending
Negotiations
Including Trouble Over the Pan.
ANA Canal
Taft May Drop the Proposed
Treaties

London, Nov. 11.-British ambassa'
dor to United states. Bryce, will re.
main in Washington until all pending
negotiations have been cleared up.
These include, 1t Is understood, the
question of the Panama canal.
The British foreign officer is not
yet prepared to issue any statement
in regard to Bryce's retirement or as
to the appointment of his successor.
who will. however, probably be Sir
Cecil Arthur Springrice.
1t was settled at the foreign Office
today that Bryce will endeavor to
leave a clean slate for the new ambas-
sador. With the exception Of The
comments of the evening newspapers
on Bryce's term of office at Washing
ton were most unfavorable.
This is due to the assistance he gave
the Canadian government under Sir
Wilfield Laurier under the negotia-
tion of reciprocity treaty for which
the unionist press is unable to for
give ~.
The Westminster Gazette says: 1T
is the fashion for the small fry union
lists to decrv and attack Ambassador
Bryce, but his record is an admirable
one and there is nothing in it which
does not rebound to his honor
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE volun-
taTy retirement Of Ambassador Bryce
of Great Britain, which it is expect
ed will be formally announced today
or tomorrow, 1t Is believed, will mark
the abandonment of any purpose on
the part Of the United States to Sc
cure the contamination Of the pending
general arbitration treaty with Great
Britain.
3 The first impulse of the president,
after the senate had amended the
treaty during the last session in spite
Of the protests of administration SEN
ators, was imm ediately to abandon
the convention and to decline to un-
dertake to induce the British govern
ment to accept the amendment which
struck at every essence of the princi-
pal Of unrestricted arbitration.
After more mature deliberation
however. and frequent conferences be
tween Knox and Bryce, the president
was disposed to consider the advisa.-
bfiity of pressing the treaty to a con-
ciusion on the theory that ii would al
least constitute a notice to the world
OF the intentions of the two govern
nlerts to be guided by the principle
of arbitration into farther dealings. II
was urged, also" that with the treaty
as a foundation it might be possible
in the near future to bring the senate
to the point of approving the supple
mentary articles which in effect would
amount to unlimited arbitration.
Recently, however, the administra-
tion became convinced of the imprac-
ticability of this plan, and it is be-
lteved the final decision of the presi-
dent Will be to drop the treaty.

recently set more stringent rules for

In the case of the fifty-eight ap-

that under the statute further time
