- thought by som
w. C. BulIitt French officials
: be an emissary {
Col. Edward M. House. He visite
London, Paris and other capital
. | and conferred with various hig
personages, and our State depart
ment called on Ambassador Edg
!, for information. The ambassado
replied that Bullitt was acting o.
his own responsibility as a write
interested in foreign affairs an,
was representing no one in tn
United States.
Mr.. Edge, it is understood, re
ported that this is only one of man.
similar incidents. Ever since Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination, the embas
sy has had reports Of a long sue
cess Of such "emissaries."
j NARIOUS plans for the regenera
| Y ton Of the Republican party
have been discussed, and one al
ready has been started. This is the
organization Of the National Re
publican league, with Vice Presi.
dent Charles Curtis at its head and
headquarters in washington. Three
vice chairmen have been named
Senators Felix Hebert of Rhode Is
land and Daniel o. Hastings of
Delaware and former Representa-
tive John @. Tilson of Connecticut.
The makeup Of the league appears
to be strictly regular Republican.
The new organization announced
by John A. Campbell of White
Plains. N. Y, who will be it's direc-
tor, is designed to carry on Wig
Orous campaign for a comeback not
only in the 1896 Presidential cleo
ton but in next years congression-
al races also. 1t is professedly
neither for nor against the inter-
ests Of any one candidate.
The senate Republican organiza-
ton seems determined to continue
in good standing in the party eau
Gus the insurgents who supported
Roosevelt last fall. Senator Charles
Z. McNary of Oregon, the probable
new Republican leader of the SEN
ate, declared that a proposal to
read out Of the party Senator's
George w. Norris Of Nebraska,
Robert M. La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin. Hiram johnson Of California,
and Bronson Cutting Of New Mex
leo, had mot a chance in the world"
to succeed.
Suggestions were heard recently
that Secretary of the Treasury
Mills would be made chairman of
the Republican national committee,
but he said he would not accept the
place. 1--WE had lot of politics In
the last 25 years and don't intend
to step out of here into the chair
manship Of any political commit
tee" Mills said.
GREAT BRITAIN'S cabinet In
~ three sessions gave final APP
prevail to the British policy for ne
gotiations with Mr.. Roosevelt in
the debt conference to be held in
Washington. OF course the cabi-
nets conclusions were not made
public, but it was understood Am
bassador Sir Ronald Lindsay would
bring back q plan providing for a
lump sum payment Of between ST.
50,OO0,OOO and $1,000. 100000 as
for the entire debt of
about $1,000, 100000 which the Eu-
ropean nations owe the United
States. This. the debtor nations
think, would be in accord with their
own Lausanne agreement on Ger.
man reparations.
Representative Rainey of Illinois
declared: 1.-THE United States will
not accept any such SLASH" and
opinion in congressional circles up
held this view. Moreover, Mr.. Roose-
,elt's plan of dealing with each ma
ion separately will give the British
small opportunity to put forward q
proposal for all of them.
