WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Presi-
dent Wilson probably will FIJI the ma.
lority Of the nine embasadorships now
vacant before the beginning of the
extra session of congress next Monday.
The president expects to confer with
many of his friends this week. and it is
believed that when congress convcncs
nominations for the more important
posts Will be sent to the senate.
Today s developments brought ont
that Walter II. Page, editor Of the
World s Work, and intimate friend of
Mr.. Wilson, had been offered and had
accepted the embassadorship to Great
Britain. Mr.. Page will start for London
within ten days.
1t was stated at the White house
that with the exception of Mr.. Page.
no offers had been made of any other
diplomatic posts. The president has
had under consideration a list Of men
to whom he is favorably inclined, but
the chief difficulty has been that many
of these men hail from New York state,
which he feels already has had con
spicuous recognition. Two members of
the cabinet-Secretaries Rcdield and

those under consideration for diplo-

The president had taste today of
the difficulties of tariff revision. Many
of the callers came to talk for and
against various schedules. To all the
president listened patiently, but gave
not the slightest intimation Of what
was contained in the schedules Of the
tariff bill. He is studying on what
would be his own attitude toward these
subjects.
a. Augustus Healy of the Brooklyn
academy of arts and sciences, who
talked with the president about the
tariff On leather and hides, was intro
duced by Secretary Redfeld,
W. F. Sardis of Buenos Ayres urged
the president to zee that meat came
into this country from Argentina free
of duty. Senator Broussard and Gov

he favored free sugar. Notwithstanding

Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
and William Church Osborn have been
prominently mentioned for diplomatic
places, chiefly France and Germany, but
the fact that both come from the EN-
pire state is said to be circumstance
that is giving the president no little
embarrassment. He is known to hold
both in high regard.
Mr.. Wilson has been disposed to look
further west for some of his diplomatic
appointments, and the name of Rudolph
Spreckels Of San francisco as probable
ambassador to Germany came forward
prominently today. Mr.. Spreckels prac
tically organized and managed the vii,
son National Progressive Republican
league, and his appointment, it was
said, would be a recognition by the
president of the aid given him by
Progressive Republicans in the last
campaign.
Elmer W. Hurst Of Rock Island, Ill,
who saw the president today, also is
said to be slated for diplomatic post.
