WOULD GRANT REQUEST

Washington, June 30-(Special)--In the event of clash with Mexico, the ad- ministratio it is said With authority, would not deny Theodore Roosevelt, the New York hero type" the right to ac- quire the title of brigadier general.
 As is known, the colonel has stated his intention of raising a brigade of volunteers and marching forward as brigadier general for the purpose of put ting down the Mexican army single handed.
 As stated, the administration would not object. It is said that if he raises a regiment and the regiment is qualified he would be its commanding officer, and if he raises brigade. and the brigade qualities. he will be its commanding of ficer.
 Secretary of War Baker states that the age of the colonel would not. in his opin- ion disqualify the hero from acquiring the rank of general. With very sig nficant smile, the Secretary declared: There are some men to whom can be applied the bard's reference to Cleopatra, Age cannot wither or custom stale her infinite variety
 While the foregoing are the facts in the case, it is not believed that the colonel will raise his brigade. No one doubts but that the colonel could raise brigade. No one doubts the colonel's s patriotism or his courage But doubt is entertained as to the colonel's willing ness, for the sake of the country, to foregoing his present pastime of abusing the President As a soldier he would be of course handicapped in exercising the privilege of adversely criticising his commander-in-chief.

PLEA FOR CLEMENCY

London, June 3o.-The Manchester Guardian. one of the most influential papers in the country, makes a direct plea for clemency for Sir Roger Case ment.
 While admitting that no other sentence but that of death could have been pro- nounced by the court, the Manchester Guardian says:
 Easement was fanatic, and his crimes, like those of many other fs- natics, are free from the taint of sor- didness and meanness. The death pen atty will do nothing to kill such dreams as his. Rather it will give them life.
 For the sake of the new Ireland, which, we hope to see, it is moment for clemency."
 An indirect plea for mercy is made by other peacemakers on the ground that the execution of Easement would not assist in settling the Irish problem.
