nlained. was due to the fact that the
Tariff commission as constituted with
out these two members had three
Democrats and one Republican.
Under the law creating the
commission. It is required that
the membership of six must be
evenly divided-three Republicans
and three Democrats. Before giving
Rroussard and Lowell recess appoint
ments. the President explained 10
them that in the event they are even
tually rejected by the Senate, theS
will have served their time on the
commission during their recess APP
Dointment without remuneration:
They were willing to take the FISK Vi
working for nothing.
In the case of Mr.. Classic, accord
ing TO the information that has
reached the President. the opposition
to him comes from those Democrats
who consider him a tariff protectloh
ist They want some one appolHteu
who comes nearer representing tle
low tariff principles of the Democratic
marty. The larger part of the sela-
torial support for Classic came from
Democrats representing Western
States. where beet sugar ana Wool are
produced to great extent ana where
a protective tariff is now very popu-
lar.
Spokesman Is Non COmmittai.
No comment was made by the Pres
ident's spokesman on TINS angie VI
the Classic appointment. 1t is thought,
however that in the event the Presl-
dent should eventually send MT.
classics name to the Senate for a
nermanent appointment. there Is prop
ably sufficient opposition to defeat
him. 1t is, therefore, the opinion OF
contidants of the President that ne
has no intention at this time OF max
ing Mr.. Classics appointment per
manent. ...,,

James K. Sheffield. Ambassador 10

sue the same practice when rlgIts VI
Americans are invaded, as result Oh
the religious controversy, as "llei.
they are not recognized on account
of land laws or other cond1tlons.
4 That there is no prospect what
ever of American intervention in the
pureIy domestic religious question,
which, while applying equally TO an
denominations, is more felt by Cath-
olics. because 95 per cent OF the ma
tives are of that faith.
S. Conditions in Mexico. generally
speaking, are very much improved.
While Americans have been murdered
in the past, there is no occasion Tor
complaint along the line of attacks
now.
Rather unprecedented action was
followed in making known these views
Of the administration. 1t had been
announced yesterday IfldI Tue tItsi-
dent would place Ambassador Sheffield
at the disposal of the correspondents
