REGARDLESS OF CONDITIONS
 COMMISSION GO TO RUSSIA

WASHINGTON, D. C., May h. Regardless of the political develop ments, confident of doing good and of being hospitably received, the American commissioners will pro- ceed to Russia.
 It is admitted that the internal conditions may greatly hamper the work of the American legates but their mission will be carried out as originally designed.
 Some doubt may exist as to the advisability of Roots ehairmanship, but a radical leaven has been added at the eleventh hour in defer ence to the recognized control of the socialists in the Slav political affairs just now.
 General Scott as great if not greater as a diplomat than a sol dier, the man who has disposed of endless Indian difficulties, Mexcan troubles and border disaffection has been added to the list.

SEATTLE, May 10.-Logan Bill ingsley is certainly the darling of the federal judicial gods in this town.

Un. less the interpretation of some very indirect comment is far from the truth. there appears to be an under current of approval expressed in some quarters over the scheme.

SWEDEN INSISTS
 ON ExPL AVIATION
 FROM GERMANY
Confidence of Sweden Abus- ed Seriously by Teuton
 Officials.

Stockholm, Sept. 20-It was an- nounced at the Swedish ministry of foreign affairs today that after the publication. by the Washington state department of the code telegrams for -warded by Caeunts yon Luxburg, the German minister to Argentina through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires, the Swedish government on Sept. 10, asked through the intermediary of the Swedish minister at Berlin whether it was true that the German repre- sentative at Buenos Aires had de- spatched and the ministry of foreign affairs at Berlin had received the tele- grams in question.
 When the reply was received the Swedish minister at Berlin on Sept. 15, was instructed by the Swedish government to hand to the German government strong protest in con- sequence of these incidents and to lay stress on the fact that it had been confirmed beyond doubt that German officials very seriously had abused the confidence of Sweden.
 The communication made by the German minister at Stockholm to the Swedish minister of foreign affairs mentioned in the Swedish official statement of Sept. IS had no connec- ton with the protest made by the Swedish government.

CRONHOLM DENIES
 U. s. ALLEGATIONS

Mexico City, Sept. 20.-Folke Cron- holm, former attache of the Swedish legation, in a statement to the Asso- ciated Press today, denied that Ger man minister von Eckhardt offered or promised him a decoration of a Ger man order, or that he received any such decoration. Cronho1m also de- nied that he had furnished the Ger man minister with information gath cred amongst the enemies of his coun- try in Mexico.
 Previous to making this statement Cronholm had maintained silence re- garding the despatch made public by Secretary Lansing in which Minister won Eckharadt recommended .Cron- holm for a decoration The state ment follows:
 "I am not in position to make any statement, as that is contrary to the diplomatic principles of my country. as am only an executive organ of my government and still ignorant of the statement that the same might have issued on the subject. Once in possession of an authentic text of such a statement I may be able to add some complimentary remarks. Re ferring to the decoration mentioned in this connection, I hereby declare that the German minister, MT. Eck- hardt, has not offered me any decora- ton, nor has he promised me such and neither have I received any. The allegation made by a certain class of newspapers of this city to the effect that I have furnished the German minister with information gathered amongst the enemies of his country in Mexico is just as false as it is ri- dicJIouS.'

VATICAN AWAITS PEACE REPLY OF CENTRAL POWERS Cardinal Gasparri Does Not
 Look For It Until
 Next Week. GREAT RETAINS
 REPLY MUST WAIT Gan Only Be Made After Text of Teuton Note Is Published.

Rome. Wednesday, Sept. 19-Car- dina1 Gasparri, the papal secretary of state, tonight declared to the Asso- ciated Press that the reply of the Gen. tral Powers to Pope Benedict's peace proposals, had not yet been received at the vatican. This is taken to prove that the statement recently published to the effect that the reply had left Berlin on Saturday is untrue as otherwise, even admitting delay of one day in Switzerland, the document should have reached Rome Tuesday night or this morning.
 Cardinal Gasparri believes the re- ply of, the Central Powers was held up when Emperor William wene to Riga and that it probably will not reach the vatican until next week.
 The reply of the Entente Allies to the pope's peace proposals must ne- cessarily arrive after that of the Gen. tral Powers because Great Britain, before the compilation of the Een- tente aote, asked for some informa- ton of the vatican, which, in turn, applied for it to the Central Powers which notified the Holy See that the explanations asked for would be con- tained in their own reply to the papal note.s On these explanations, there fore. the answer of t11e Entente AL lies. or at least that of Great Britain, will depend.
