PRESIDENT is DISPLEASED
BY REFUSAL OF POSTS
No More Diplomatic Appointments
Will Be Announced Until Ac-
ceptances Are Received.

Washington, March 27-It was an
nounced at the White House on
Tuesday that President Wilson was
considering the names of Henry C.
Morgenthen, Augustus Thomas, Thorn
as Nelson Page and Col Joseph Will
lard for appointment to important
posts in the diplomatic service.
The president is said to feel very
keenly the fact that his first selec-
tons in Richard Olney and DR.. Charles
william Elliot to go to London, and
William F. McCombs for France, were
declined. Due to this embarrassment,
no further selections will be made I'M
til the acceptances are received at the
White House.
1t is considered certain that August
US Thomas will be sent to either
Switzerland or Italy.
Washington, March 25.-President
Wilson reluctantly assented to the ex-
pressed determination of Chairman
McCombs of the national Democratic
committee to decline the proffered
French enthusiastically. In state
ment on Saturday expressing his high
regard for Mr.. McCombs, the presi-
dent declared that the diplomatic serv-
ice Of the United States is unneces-
sarily hampered by the fact that only
men who have time and means to
leave their business find themselves
able to serve the government abroad.

TAKE ADRIAN0PLE, ALSO
TCHATALIA FROM TURKS
Bulgarians Win Dual Victory Buf
Whole Regiments Are Blown to
Death by Mines.

London, March 28.-Adrianople fell
on Wednesday after one of the most
stubborn defenses in the history OF
warfare, and Tchatalja, according to a
telegram received by the Bulgarian
legation at London has suffered a like
fate.
According to dispatch received al
Belgrade from Mustapha Pasha the
besiegers' sacrifices were very heavy
at Adrianople. The Seryian Thir.
teenth and the Bulgarian Eighteenth
regiments we're blown up by mines,
and other regiments suffered great
losses. The reserve hospitals have
prepared to receive thousands Of
wounded.
The fall of Adrianople was accompa-
MED by wild scene of disorder. When
the commander, Shukri Pasha, saw
that it was impossible to longer hold
the city, he ordered all Of the powder
magazines blown up and practically
the entire city put under the torch. Al
most every prominent building il the
city was fired and the city is in flames.
Both the inhabitants and the Turk.
ish soldiers fed under the fearful fire
from the Bulgarian troops A large
portion of the populace gathered in the
center of the city and remained there
too terror-stricken to attempt to es-
cape.
The Bulgarians gained another vic.
tory, driving the Turks from the forti-
ficatfons of the town of Tchatalja, and
the Bulgarians now occupy the town.
The battle is reported as having been
one OF the hardest fought during the
war. The Turks put up strong de-

by an oyerpowering force.

ILLINOIS ELECTS
TWO i. s. SENATORS
Lewis Chosen for Long Term,
Sherman for Short.
LONG DEADLOCK is ENDED
Governor Dunno Wins Fight for Com
bination of Democrats and Repub-
licans, Despite Bitter Opposition
of Party Organizations.

Springfield, H., March 2S.-Col. J.
Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, on We'd
nesday, was elected to the United
States senate for the long term and
Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican, for
the short term on the fifteenth ballot
taken in the joint session of the two
houses of the Illinois legislature.
They probably will be the last men
to be elected to the senate from this
state under the present system.
Springfield. H., March 27.-Col. ].
Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, was elect
ed to the United States senate for the
long term and Lawrence Y. ShermaIi,
Republican, for the short term on
the fifteenth ballot taken in the joint
session of the two houses of the Hi
nois legislature. They probably will
be the last men to be elected to the
senate from this state under the pres
ent system.
This result was brought about by a
combination of Republicans and Demo
Gratis, a large majority of each party
representatives united to end the long
deadlock by electing the two men who
received the Endorsement of the voters
of the state at the senatorial primary
last year.
Colonel Lewis received the support
of all the Republican members except
six, all of the Democrats excepting
seven, and the four Progressive votes
which were cast for him last week,
giving him total of 1914. Mr.. Sher-
mans vote was somewhat smaller than
that cast for Colonel Lewis, some Of
the Democrats Withholding their sup
port from the Republican candidate.
Organization Democrats fought the
deal to the last, and most of them
went down to defeat voicing their pro-
test. They had made despairing ap-
peal to Governor Dunno to withdraw
Using to unite on Colonel Lewis and
some other Democrat, but the COVER
nor refused to listen to them.
Some of the Republican leaders also
opposed the deal, taking the position
they should not shoulder the respon-
sibility of electing Democratic SEN
ator on whom the members of that
party were not united. They were
outvoted almost five to one, and the
movement to end the deadlock was
given an impetus which could not be
checked.
To Governor Dunno more than to
anyone else is given the credit for
bringing the contest to an end on the
basis of the peoples choice as ex-
pressed at the primary Several weeks
ago he saw there was no possibility of
electing two Democrats, and he then
took the ground that combination
for the election of Lewis and Sher-
man was the only logical one for the
legislature to take in view of the COM
plicated political situation existing
there
From that moment he has bent mis-
energies In the direction Of bringing
about the result which was accom-
plished. He was opposed by a large
element i'll his party, but he hewed to
the line he had marked out
