ited to Womans Gossip

IDS PARTY NOW OUT OF POWER

Hold Buteem of Aincrlcnii PeopleBcciiUKe of Ills Democratic Sinnliens and ills Admiration for Cantomit of Country ErroiieouKReports Arc Dlwnroven

Sir Henry Mortimer Durand King Edwards Ambassador in Washington ismaintaining a silence in regardto the many reports that are being circu-lated as to the reason for his recallfrom this Capital Those who know himAnd nothing surprMHg ta this attitudefor the British envoy is lirE and last agentleman and he has a proper regardfor the proprieties surrounding his offi-

cial status as the representative of agreat power

According to current rumor ais at the bottom of his withdrawal fromthe United States Whether this is truethe very fact that a womans name hasbeen connected with the matter is suffi-

cient reason for the attitude of the Am-

bassador in declining to discuss the subjectThe

woman Is the ease hi Lady SusanTownler wife of Walter Beanpre Townley the British Minister to Brazil MrTownley was stationed here a counselorof the British Embassy for part of thetime that Sir Henry Mortimer Durandwas Ambassador The Lady Suoan to sis-ter to the Earl of Albemarie and a member of a family close to the London for-eign office and King Edward Knowledgeof her Influential and prominent familyconnections and her differences with theBritten Ambassador and his wife withsome additional knowledge of things thatwere said by Lady Susan has been reputted In Washington as a sutnctentevidence of the truth of the reports thatthe recall of the Durand was due to theEarl of Albemarles slaterPolitic and Xot Gossip Responsible

As a matter of there is nothingto show that the gossip which the LadySusan is supposed to have started in

concerning the Ambassador has any-thing to do with his recall There wereprivate personal reasons why Sir Mortimeras he Is generally called here wanted tereturn to England Furthermore SirMortimer is a Conservative while thepresent ruling party In Great Britain isLiberal ansi polities plays an importantpart in the assignment of Englands

representatives In spite of theopinion to the contrary Nobody herefamiliar with the manner in which selotion for British diplomatic missionsare made doubts for an Instant that theappointment of James Bryce as AmbasMdor to the United States was due tohi knowledge of American institutions andthe high opinion held of him in this countryMr Bryce is not a member of thepermanent diplomatic service of GreatBritain Neither was Lord Pauncefoteof Preston who was Ambassador herefor many years Lord Pauncefote hadbeen a Judge in the far East and at thetune of his appointment to the Wash-ington mission was an under secretaryof state for foreign again Sir MidlineHerbert who succeeded Lord Pauncefoteand who died while lilting the Washing-ton mission was a member of the diplostatic service but he owed his transfer toWashington to the fact that he knewPresident Roosevelt and had Influentialrelatives close to King Edward

Talk Incoiie inciitlnlIt te a matter of common knowledge

In Washington that there were differences between Sir Mortimer Durand andthe Townleys It is said that the Ambas-sador as the officially accredited repre-wntative of a foreign government at thisCapital felt obliged to resent the factand free comments of the wife of a mewbar of his official staff on the personalcharacteristics of President Roosevelt andother public men This it is declaredeau resentment on the part of LadySusan but those In a position to knoware satteited that anything that was saidabout Sir Mortimer and Lady Durandwhen she returned to England had noth-ing whatever to do with SIr Mortimerrecall

There have been indications that cer-

tain London newspapers food of gossip-Ing about the personal tag said outs ofgovernment attains were incited to makereflections on Sir Mortimer Durand byinformation conveyed to them from aprejudiced source All that has been saidto the British Ambassadors discredithowever is not of a serious characterMost people would regard it idle andsilly

It has been charged that he was notas close to President Roosevelt as BaronSpeck von Sternburg Emperor WilliamsAmbassador This Is questionableBaron Sternburg was an Intimate friendof Mr Roosevelt when both were hiWashington in subordinate capacitiesThey in the habit of taking longwalks together climbing cliffs along thePotomac and enjoying themselves astrenuous m n wilt In the days of theiryouth It is true also that Sir MortimerDurand did not play tennis on the WhitHouse court where his diplomatic co j

kague Mr Jusserand the Frenchis seen frequently-

In Sympathy with AmericanBut if he dW not climb cliffs or play ten-

nis with the President as some Englishjournals seem to think he should have j

dune to be successful in Washington SirMortimer managed to win the regard andesteem of the greater portion of theAmericans with whom he came in contactthrough his democratic manner and hisoutspoken liking for American men andwomen showed himself to be a manof simple tastes fond of skating horse-back riding and other forms of outdoorexercise He was seen frequently taking

walks with a big Bernard dogto which h was greatly attached Thosewho came to know him found that hewas a student a man of widespreadknowledge and able to hold his own on alldisputed questions before the public Hismanner was dignified but never cold Noman of his rank in Washington moreapproachable and it Is claimed by lainfriends that his greatest fault was anatural diffidence which served to romeextent to hide the feelings of kindlyand considerate heart

One of the stories that has been goingthe rounds since the announcement ofSir Mortlwvirs prospective withdrawalfrom WssKngton was made was to theeffect that the British government wasdissatisfied with his conduct of the ne-gotiations which resulted in the modusVivendi In regard to the Newfoundlandfisheries The truth is that Sir Mortimerhad nothing to do with these negotia-tions They were conducted by the Brit-ish foreign office and Whitelaw Reid theAmerican Ambassador In London ThisIs only a single Instance of the erroneousstatements circulated in regard to SirMortimers recall

The departure of tho Durends will be acause of regret to a large section ofWashingtons official and social worldwhich deprecates the attempt to make

GERMANS DISPLEASED

View Appointment of Bryce n nCheckmate o von Sternburjc

London Dee St The Berlin corre-spondent of the Morning Post says theappointment of James Bryc as BritishAmbassador to the United States Is viewedwith dissatisfaction at lent in nomepolitical circles there

The Neueste Nachrichten a conserva-tive organ representing the interests ofgreat German industrialists ascribes hisselection to the desire on the part of theBritish government to have as a repre-sentative in the United States a mancapable of becoming a match for thedreaded Baron von Sternburg the Ger-man Ambassador Tim paper quotes adispatch from the Washintgon

of the Post In which it is pointedout that the anxiety manifested by Eng-land at the excellent relations betweenthe President and theGemtamn Abassador-te treated with withering sarcasm Itadds

However matters shy stand In respectto the excitement referred to In the cor-respondents dispatch the mystery thathas shrouded the in the person ofBritish representative at Washington is a

the significanceof which is enhanced by Lord Curzonsvisit to President Roosevelt It may besaid that the appointment of a new Brit-ish Ambassador at Washington has beenmade the object In London of one of themost extraordinary intrigues of moderntimes At flrst it was considered that themost suitable man for the post was Ger-ald Lowther but owing to the criticalsituation hi Morocco the government senthim in haste to his post at Tangierwhere his wide rendered hispresence indispensable Now the Post an-nounces that Mr Bryce has been chosen

From the whole treatment of thisquestion the only important conclusionthat may be drawn is that the chief ob-ject In view was under cover of reestabitehing the former intimate AngloAmerican friendship to drive a wedgeinto the GermanAmerican relationsThis is only in the nature of things andwe shall have to take our measures ac-cordingly

The Chronicle says It understands thatno title will be conferred oh the RightHon James Bryce It adds that hewill be the first plain citizen to representGreat Britain at Washington
