List of Those Considered for Foreign Missions-President Too Democratic to Ride in Waiting Elevator.

Washington, June 5.-President WII- son appeared unexpectedly at the presidents room at the capitol late to- day with the biggest list of diplomatic selections he has made since he took office.
 It was the presidents fifth visit to the halls of congress. but this time he found the door of the marble room, locked, the senate had adjourned, and the sergeant at arms was taken by surprise.
 Secretary Rounds Up Senators.
 T guess I'll have to get a duplicate key for this door," said the president, smilingly. as the sergeant at arms hastily despatched a messenger for the key. Hardly any senators were in the building. but Secretary Tumulty soon sent out call for about twenty of them and they came in quickly from the senate office building.
 While the president has not defi- nitely fixed on some of the countries to which he will make diplomatic ap- pointments, he has chosen the men who will get the posts, and about these consulted republican as well as dem ocratic senators from home states.
