THE new AMBASSADORS NAMED
NOMINATIONS WILL BE SENT TO
THE SENATE SOON.
G. w. Guthrie for Japan, c. r. Crane
for Russia, r. c. Penfiesd
for Spain, Etc.

Washington. w. Guthrie OF
Pennsylvania, for ambassador to
Japan. -,
Charles r. Crane OF Chicago, fol
ambassador to Russia
Frederick C. Penfield of Pennsyl-
vanja, for minister to Spain.
These selections have been deter
mined upon by President Wilson,
though the nominations probably will
not be sent to the senate for at least
week.
Mr.. Guthrie, formerly mayor OF
Pittsburg, and now democratic state
chairman of Pennsylvania, originally
was slated for the ambassadorship TO
Mexico, but it is now probable that
no new representative will be sent to
Mexico City for some time, though it
is practically certain that Henry Lane
Wilson will not be retained. To send
new ambassador to Mexico at pres.
ent would be to recognize the Huerta
government, a situation which the
United States is not yet ready to
meet. Mr.. Guthrie is regarded as par.
ticularly fitted to take up the Japa.
nese post where pending questions
over California's alien land legisla
ton give promise of important diplo
matte relations between Toxic and
Washington in the near future.
Larz Anderson, the present ambas
sador to Japan, home on leave, called
on President Wilson to pay his re-
spects and told him he did not desire
to return.
Mr.. Penfield, who is slated to be
minister to Madrid, has had expert
ence in the foreign service, having
been stationed at London in 1885 as
vice consul general and later displo
matte agent and consul general to
Egypt, with rank of minister-resident
He has taken an active interest in
international politics and has been
decorated with various foreign orders
He has also Travelled extensively in
India, China and Japan.
Mr.. Crane, it was said at the White
House Thursday, can go to st. Peters
burg if he SO desires. There always
has been some doubt, however, as to
whether Mr.. Crane could give up his
business interests to go abroad and
this question, it is understood, has
cot been finally settled

New Orleans SUGAR.

New Orleans. There was nothing
doing in the way of sugar from first
hands Saturday. Receipts were a
missing quantity, and there were nc
offerings available from store. The
market was reported steady at quoted
figures.
Refined sugars were quiet and un.
changed, with business of a light
character and mainly in the way OF
Withdrawals. New York reported a
quiet and unchanged market on re
fined. Shading was still reported at
4.20c, less per cent for cash. Raws
were shade firmer, with buyers
showing more interest, and holders
were not so much disposed to. force
supplies on the market as few days
ago. The asked price was 3.42c for 90
tests.
Local receipts were 1872 barrels OF
molasses. Quotations: Plantation

simism is manifested in the capital as

hula, of the probable overthrow OF
Huerta, longer derided. Without ex-
ception the newspapers aver that the
only hope of salvation lies in the
flotation of loan. Practically all OF
them admit that nonrecognition OF the
present administration makes this
very doubtful.
The banks continue to reflect the
governments financial difficulties and
refuse to sell exchange except at exor,
bitant rates, while merchants are rails
