PROBABLY THE MAX.
Is Sow Secretary of (he British Embmy
at Parls-The Only (lueillon la the
Approval of King Kilward Salary
Will be liaised to That of the Highest
Ambassndor In (he British Service.
London, May 30 Hon. Michael Henry
Herbert, who Is nominally secretary to
the British embassy at Paris, will prob
ably be the next British ambassador to
the United States, In succession to the
late Lord Pauncefote.
Mr. Herbert's appointment to this
poet will probably not be announced
until the remains of Lord Pauncefote
errlve in England. The only question
In regard to Mr. Herbert's selection for
the Washington post is the approval
of King Edward. . The Associated
Press understands that his majesty is
taking a keen personal interest in the
matter of Lord Pauncefote's successor,
but the king will not be asked officially
to confirm or disapprove the candidate
of the foreign office until the period
of time during which the government
pays respect to the late Lord Paunce
fote has elapsed.
While there is no reason to believe
that King Edward will object to Mr.
Herbert, who has the official backing of
both English and American diplomats,
there must always remain an element
of doubt in the matter until the sug
gested appointment receives the royal
sanction, and especially In view of the
acute attention which his majesty has
given to this important promotion.
The matter of Mr. Herbert's going to
Washington has been still further com
plicated by the unexpected delay in
sending over Lord Panucefote's re
mains. The British government, offi
cially, fully expected Lord Pauncefote's
body would arrive In England prior to
the coronation of King Edward, and it
is not a little disconcerted by the re
ceipt of despatches announcing that the
obsequies in England will not occur
until July.
The determination to select Mr. Her
bert as ambassador to the United States
was reached after many consultations
with those who are best fitted to voice
an opinion in the matter. While nomi
nally minister plenipotentiary to
France, and as such he frequently acted
in most Important crisis in the absence
of Sir Edmund J. Monson, Great Brit
Bin's ambassador there.
Mr. Herbert's marriage with Leila, i
daughter of Klchard T. Wilson of New
ADMIT PEACE IS SECVRED.
INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTESTS
Iteport That Iluer Delegates In Europe
tin Longer Uiny It.
Brussels, May 30. It is said here that
the Boer delegates in Europe now ad
mit that peace in South Africa has been
secured and that the settlement between
the Boers and Great Britain will be
signed In the name of the former citi
zens of the two former South African
republics who are now in Europe, in
cluding Mr. Kruger, thus preventln
the irreconcillables from continuing a
guerrilla warfare on the pretext that
they are obeying the orders of the
Boer delegates in Europe.
London, May 30. The government
has not yet received the decision from
the Boer conference at Vereenlging,
Transvaal, which was expected to-day
and which was to enable Mr. Balfour,
the government leader in the House of
Commons, to make his statement con
cerning peace next Monday.
A despatch received here from Pre
toria says the British columns in South
Africa, especially the horses, have been
greatly benefitted by their long rest.
All preparations have been made, says
the despatch, and Lord Kitchener will
again take the field If there is any de
lay in the acceptance of Great Britain's
terms by the Boers.

New York, ' May 30. The showing
made by the athletic collegians in the
preliminary heats and trials in the
track and field contests which took
place at Berkeley Oval to-day gives
promise that some unusualy clever per
formances will be seen when the semi

men who qualified from each.
ILICE HAY IXJVRED.
York, as result of which he becam
closely related to the Vanderbilts, the
Ogden Goelets and the Astors, will not
in any way Interfere, according to opin
ion here, with hi? usefulness as Great
Britain's ambassador at Washington
Mr. Herbert's record at Washington as
charge d'affaires from 1S8S until 1SS9
and as secretary to the British legation
there from 1892 to 1893 and his work as
British agent on the Venezuelan com
mission eminently fit him, so official be
lief inclines, for his proposed new and
important duties.
At Paris Mr. Herbert's present posl
tion Is somewhat curious, for, while
holding the rank of a full fledged min
ister, he has to take second place when
Sir Edmund J. Monson, the ambassador
is resident in France
A curious feature connected with all
the British diplomats who were consid
ered by the British foreign office as pos
pible candidates to fill the vacancy at
Washington, is that they all have
American wives. Sir Henry Howard
who is now Great Britain's minister at
The Hague, and who was for many
years attached to the British legation
at Washington, married Miss Rlggs of
(Washington; Sir Francis R. Plunkett,
the British ambassador at Vienna, mar
ried Miss Morgan of Philadelphia; Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, viceroy of India,
married Miss Letter of Washington;
Austin Lee. Great Britain's commercial
attache at France, Belgium and Switz
erland, married Miss DeWolf Smith of
New York; and Alan Johnstone, the
British charge d'affaires at Darmstadt,
married Miss Plnchot' of New York.
Before the new ambassador at Wash
ington takes up his duties the salary of
the ambassador there will probably be
put up on a par with the highest paid
in Great Britain's diplomatic service,
namely, that which Is paid him as am
bassador at Paris, 9,000 ($45,000) a
year.

Los Angeles Wins Next Locomotive
Engineers' Convention.
Norfolk, Va., May 30. Los Angeles,
Cal., was chosen as the next place for
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers' convention by a vote of 284 against
254 for Cleveland and ninety for New
Haven, 274 being necessary for a choice.
E. A. Stevens of Los Angeles was elect
ed third assistant grand engineer to
succeed A. M. Cousins of Norfolk.
George R. Doherty of Boston was re
elected grand chaplain.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 30. A largely
attended meeting of the engineers, fire'
men and pumpmen was held to-night.
It is said every colliery in Wyoming
valley was represented. A resolution
endorsing the strike order of the exec
utive board calling out the engineers,
firemen and pumpmen was adopted by
a vote of 315 to 57.
Representatives of the coal companies
doubt the correctness of the vote. They
claim there were not that many men at
the meeting and that an overwhelming
number of those present were firemen.
The coal operators still insist that a
majority of the engineers w ill not desert
their posts on Monday.
Scranton, Pa., May 30. At a meeting
attended by over 100 engineers, pump
men and firemen to-day the strike order
was Indorsed. A secret ballot was tak
en at first, showing 58 In favor of and
35 against a strike. A motion to in
dorse the strike order was then unan
imously carried.
Harvard
had nineteen and Yale eighteen on the
list of eligibles for the finals to-morrow
and the next in point of numbers is
Princeton with eight, California has
seven, Pennsylvania five, Cornell four,
Amherst three, Columbia, Georgetown
and Syracuse two each, and Rutgers
and Williams one each.
Harvard is the favorite in what lit
tle betting has been done so far, but If
the protest made by Yale against
Schick, the Harvard sprinter, who won
his trials in the sprints to-day rather
easily, should be sustained Yale would
gain a decided advantage as Harvard
would lose either eight or ten points.
Arthur Duffey of Georgetown and
Schick won their individual heats in
the 100 yard dash in even time. But if
the track remains in good condition and
mere is an absence of wind either or
both will equal and probably break the
existing record of 9 4-5 seconds. In the
high and low hurdle events Willis of
Harvard and Clapp of Yale seem to be
on even terms, and none of those who
contested In the 220-yard dash to-day
can hope to defeat Schick in the final
for that event. Rust of Harvard should
have no difficulty in winning the quar
ter mile run and Kane of Yale seems
to have the half mile honors at his
mercy.
Some disappointment was felt at the
showing made by A. D. Plaw of Cali
fornia, in the weight events. He failed
to qualify in the shot put, his best ef
fort being 40 feet 8 inches. Dewltt of
Princeton tied for fourth place in the
list of five who qualified with a put of
41 feet 9 Inches. Dewltt distinguished
himself In the lfi-pound hammer throw

Mind Ills Own Bustnes..
Portland, Oregon, May 30. Sylvester

to 1894, died suddenly this afternoon at
his borne In this city from heart trou
Governor Pennoyer was born in
Tompkins county, New York, July 6,
1831, and was In his seventy-first year.
His nomination for the governorship
was brought about chiefly by his bold
stand against Chinese immigration. He
was brought prominently before the
country in 1891 by his refusal to meet
President Harrison at the state line
when the latter was on a visit, to the
Pacific coast. He was again much talk
ed about In 1893 when he told President
Cleveland to "attend to his business."
The telegraphic correspondence between
Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham
and the governor which brought forth
the latter's curt reply was as follows:
"Washington, May 3, 1893.
Governor Sylvester Pennoyer, Salem,
Oregon :
"Apparently reliable reports indicate
danger of violence to Chinese when the
exclusion act takes effect, and the pres
ident earnestly hopes you will employ
11 lawful means for their protection in
Oregon.
(Signed) "W. Q. Gresham."
The governor's reply was as follows:
"Salem, Oregon, May 3. 1893.
"W. Q. Gresham. Washington, D. C. :
"I will attend to my business. Let
the president attend to his.

tions of the reported course of the

Washington, May 30. Senor Felipe
Buencamlno, the head of the federal
party in the Philippines, accompanied
by the Filipinos now in Washington,
paid a pilgrimage to MoUnt Vernon to
day. While there Senor Buencamlno
made an address at the loi'r.b of Wash
ington in which he said in part:
"It has been written in the history of
this great republic that Washington is
first in peace, first in war and first in
the hearts of his countrymen. We must
insist that hereafter the following
words be added thereto:
"Washington also occupies the first
place, next to the Immortal Dr. Rlzal,
in the hearts of the .Filipinos. Both de
voted their precious lives to secure e
liberty of their respective peoples. In
the union of these two noble sentiments
Is based the firm faith of the Philippine
federal party in the American govern
ment, whether the republican or demo
cratic party Is in power.
"Both parties love Washington, and
they will never betray their great fath
er. Either party will give a just, stable
and liberal government" to our country
because the people of our country are
at the present time under the protec
tion of Washington s people.
"The practical, useful and beneficial
action on our part is to irive our loyal,
noble and sincere assistance to the
government of the United States in the
difficult work of the regeneration of
our country. When I stopped at Hono
lulu I was greatly impressed by the
fact that American civilization has In a
period of less than three years already
manifested the most magnificent re
suits. Why is this? Because the wise
and civilized measures taken by the
American government in Honolulu find
no obstacles of whatsoever kind. The
fertile American civilization is accepted
In Honolulu just as well as it was ac
cepted In Louisiana and in California
and because it was so accepted In these
last named states is due the complete
happiness and welfare of the people,
exactly as was the case with the people
of the; thirteen original states.
'If the Filipinos place obstacles in the
way of the execution of the steps taken
by the American government, instead
of loyally and frankly assisting it, it
will be our own fault if we continue
living so far behind the times as well
as so miserably.
Brothers, glory to Washington,
glory to America, glory ,to the Philip
pines and let us have faith that the
American government will effect a re
generation of a beneficial character of
our nation because I was thus assured
yesterday morning by President Roose
velt and President Roosevelt spoke in
the name of the people of the great
United States."
