nous Taft smile was much in evidence
from the time he left his private car until
an automobile whislSed him and Mrs. Taft
and Miss Helen away to their hotel where
the ex-President will rest and recreate.

Washington. March 5.-President

ment that he offered to Chairman Will

fered him an important diplomatic post
and hope he will accept I desire men
of cabinet size for the foreign appoint
ments"
1t is known that the ambassadofship
to France has been offered.
Particular significance was generally
attached to the visit at the White
House offices of several other men
mentioned for diplomatic posts. Abram
l. Ellxus of New York, who is likely
to go to Japan, saw the President for
a few minutes, as did Thomas Nelson
Page. who may go either to Austria
or Germany, and Charles r. Crane of
Chicago who seems certain to go to
Russia.
Richard Olney of Massachusetts, who
was Secretary of State in President
Cleveland's cabinet was said to be
slated for Great Britain. Frederick c.
Penfield will go either to Austria or
Italy, and Augustus Thomas of New
York is declared likely for one of these
two posts. Justice j. w. Gerard for
Spain; William Church Osborne or
Henry Morgenthau, for Germany or
Turkey, and Frederick H. Allen for
Switzerland are considered likely to
represent the new administration
abroad.

sratory birds has become a Jaw. having
been passed through the national House
of some hitch, it was necessary to attach
the agricultural appropriation bill. The
Mclean measure was passed through the
Senate several weeks ago. but because
of some hitch, it wa snecessar yto attach

proval of the House A strenuous effort
was made to strike out the amendment,
but this was killed by a vote of 2S5 TO 10.
The successful passage of the Mclean
bill is exceedingly gratifying to Commis-
sioner Wallace, who has been one of its
strongest advocates since it was first i'm
trcduced. He made several trips to WASH

addressed the Senate committee on the
necessities for better protection for the
