WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
peace commissioners Of the United

They will be appointed by the presi-

The first the senate will hear Of the

Examination OF the precedents es-
tablished in past peace negotiations
in which the United States has been
involved. showed today that the
president always had appointed his
own commissioners, has had charge
Of all peace negotiations and has not
been responsible to the senate ex-
cept in submitting the final treaty
to that body for ratification.
Only Talk is Possible.
In view OF these precedents. il was
believed today that republican re-
sentiment against Col. E. NJ. House
will result only in violent speeches
on the floor Of the senate when he
is named on the peace commission,
always provided the president
names him. No attempt 10 cancel his
commission from the president
would be possible. even if certain
senators desired.
The commissioners appointed by
Pres't Madison in 1914 to conclude
peace following the second war with
Great Britain were not subject to
ratification by the senate, and in
conducting their negotiations they
communicated only with the presi-
dent and the secretary Of state The
commissioners were John Quincy
Adams, J. A. Bayard, Henry Clay
and Jonathan Russell Many docu-
ments bearing their signatures are in

win. This pair OF boats were the favor
ties until near the end of the race,
when a mishap to the Mermaid's en-
gine probably cost her the victory.
The Helma, on the other hand, ran a
great uphin race from scratch, over
iaking every boat except the Dorothy T..
For A while. not far from the finish,
it appeared that the Helma must surely
win, hut on the final stretch he small
