swer to insinuations against him con-
tained in the testimony Of former re-

Wick.
1t Is understood here that Mr. Bryan
will stand by his letter In which he
asked Wick to look around for jobs for
deserving Democrats. His testimony
aside from that phase. 1t Is thought.
will be IN the nature Of a defense Of his
appointment of Sullivan.
He will claim he knew little OF Sulli-

 all parties in Portugal.
 Senhor Machado has been pronnin- ent for years in the public life of Port ugal, having been premier, provisional minister of foreign affairs, minister Of the interior and minister to Brazil He has been considered the foremost man in the Republican party and before the overthrow of the monarchy was re- garded as the logical choice of the new party for the presidency.
 In February. 1914, he was asked to form q new cabinet and was successful in his efforts, but he and his ministers resigned ten months later
 One of the interesting stories regard ing Sehnor Machado is that he served as Portuguese>fn minister to Washington in 1900 and 1901 under the name of Marquis De Santo Thyrso but was re- called because he made a premature announcement to his country of Presi- dent A1cKinley's death which resulted in Lisbon sending messages of condo i4nce four or five days before the Pres iaent died After his recall, according tp the story, he dropped the title, which was of papa1 origin, and re- sunned his family name.
