O[NEy CHOSEN
DESPITE BRYAN
Post OF Ambassador to Great
Britain Offered to Him Over
SeCretary's Head.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-It is
learned definitely that the delay in
sending the name of Richard Olney to
the senate as ambassador to the court
Of st James is caused by the failure
of that distinguished court to reply to
inquiries as to whether Mr.. Olney will
be acceptable. If a favorable report is
received Mr.. Oneys name will go in
over the head Of Secretary of State
Bryan, and there is little doubt of his
confirmation
1t is notable that Mr. Olney, a gold
Democrat, and twice bitterly opposed
TO Mr.. Bryan as presidential candi-
date, mas been chosen by Mr. Wilson in
defiance Of his announcement that all
diplomatic appointments would be left
10 the secretary of state.
Mr.. Bryan has refused to admit that
Mr.. Olney had been chosen for the post
twice making what amounted to abso
Lutte denials.
Bryan Hates Olney
The president has said nothing for
publication about the matter but those
in his counsel say that he had long age
made up his mind that MI Olney was
the right man for the place and that 1t
made no difference to him what Mr.
Bryan thought about il.
Mr. Bryan hates MI Olncy for the
very good and sufficient reason that
during the campaign of 1900 Mr. Oney
said:
Il need hardly say tha. Mr.. Bryan is
not the candidate | should choose could
] have my way in the matter, and that
! entirely dissent from parts of the
Kansas City platform
Perfection in candidate or plat
form is an idle dream, and infrmities
in its creeds and defects in its leader
ship win always characterize every
party
The Campaign of 1908.
During the campaign Mr.. Olney said:
'Bryan's views may be wrong, but
they are not new II is not unthink-
able that Mr.. Bryan's habits, training
and career have not qualified him to
estimate wisely the true place and vital
importance of the injunction power as
vested in English and American courts"

DROUGHT WORST IN YEARS.
Central New York Farmers Face
Enormous Losses.

UTICA, y. r. Aug. :l.-The crops
throughout central New York are suffer-
ing from the effects OF one OF the worst
tiroughts in nearly score OF years ana
the loss to farmers will be enormous. II
il a number Of weeks since rain fell in
this section and the outlook is bad for
the corn and potato crops.
The dairymen, and they include nearly
all of the farmers. are hit hardest. There
in virtually no grass in the pastures and
many farmers are feeding out their hay
and grain. The milk supply has fallen
of greatly, so that dairy profits are much
decreased. Many springs and spring
brooks that have never been known to
fail are dry and water has to be drawn
from the larger streams or ponds where
the supply still holds out.
Farm crops are all short, with the cx-
ception OF timothy hay, of which there
has been good average cutting. There
will be little or no third cutting in this
vicinity this year. Oats are light and
there IN next to no corn. The early po-
tato vines are rapidly dying and little
growth can be expected. The late vines
in general are looking fairly bright and
healthy.

REPORTS A CURE FOR CANCER.
Dr. r. u. DOnORhue of Boston says
Il IL MesOthOriuns.


BOSTON, Aug. 2i.--Dr Francis D..
D0noghue returned on the Arabic to-day
from the Cancer Congress at Brussels and
the Medical Congress In London. ~He an
nounced that great excitement prevails In
Germany over the use Of mesothorium as
cure for cancer.
This product. which In found In Brazil,
North and South Carolina and Colorado,
has been experimental with and. 1t ~
said, can cure certain forms Of cancer.
The towns Of Germany have subscribed
large sums to purchase mesothorium
Dusseldorf has spent $4,000 for the
product Hungary and Germany have
purchased the supply of mesothorium
available until January. 1915.
Mesothorium is rayless product OF
thorium which soon becomes active
through transformation into radiothorium.
At first the price OF mcsothoriufn was
about one-sixth Of that OF radium. but
since IL has proved so desirable FOR con-
Ger cases, the price has gone up. Some
difference of opinion exists. DR.. Donoghue
said. among the authorities as to whether
mesothOrium should he used In large
quantities at "a distance. or III small guam
titles applied directly.
one Of the most starting uiscoNeileS
reported at the cancer congress was that
Of Prof. Fibris.r OF Copenhagen. who
found in the ,ntestines Of IA rat PIN
wormlike organization which hc fed to
insects. When the insects had been de-
voured by other rats they developed
cancer.
DR.. Donoghue went to the Brussels
conference as the representative Of the

LONDON, Aug. 2i.--A strange story Is

OF Walter ii. Page. the American Ambas-
sador. and the subsequent ignoring OF
Letter sent TO Mr. Page. 1t Is conJec'
tured that Mr.. Page may never have re-
ceived the letter.
The story, which rests on authority
which 1t Is difficult to discredit, Is to the
effect that the Duchess. having received
"a ticket to the reception. left 1t at home
unthinkinsly and was probably fortified In
appearing without 1t by her experiences

On arriving at the entrance to the re-
ception rooms at Clarldze's Hotel the
Duchess was held up by l!veried attend
ant. who refused to admit her without q
ticket. The Duchess explained her identity.
but the servant replied that he had strict
orders from the Ambassador that no one
should be allowed 10 pass without ticket
The Duchess then said: perhaps you
will send for one OF the secretaries or
somebody with more authority than you
possess" a secretary whose identity can
only be guessed ut appeared and the
Duchess explained her plight. but was
again refused admission unless she pro-
duced a ticket. The Duchess then left

Afterward the Duchess wrote 10 Ambas'

| she only desired TO continue her custom
| of paying her respects to the representa-
tive Of the United States on the occasion
OF the nations birthday. 1t is declared
that she received no reply. not even ar
acknowledgment OF her note.

sending Of American soldiers here under
any circumstances would mean war be-
tween the two countries. He says there
is no way Of sending troops which could
be construed as a move friendly to Mexico
after all the declarations this country has
made on suggestions of a like nature.
The general opinion here Is that Amer
leans in Mexico will support Senor Gam
boa in this stand. because they do not
feel alarmed as to their safety and see
no necessity for sending troops to pro.
tect them
II troops were sent, however. the effect
which is desired. The arrival OF the
American soldiers would incuriate the
now tranquil populace and would ne
a., construed as Intervention. which would
inevitably precipitate war.
Senator Penrose's ideas are regarded
by conservative Americans here as the
most insane ones that have yet emanated
from Washington.
Eleven Protestant ministers OF Mexico
