TTTF ATLANTA D EOT?C! TAN AND NEWS. WILS01DELUYS £ President Requested by Huerta's Aide to Postpone Address to Congress Till Wednesday. Continued from Paga 1. preslderrcy at the fall elections. He will not announce himself as a can didate, but his agents will work for him surreptitiously and thereby ob tain his election ostensibly against his own will. Baoon Sees Hope. Another report Is to the effeet that Huerta now Intends to accept the American propoaala. knowing that the Carranza faction will refuse the ar mistice stipulation and also the pro posal binding It to accept the result of the fall election*. He expects to pare the way for the United States to recognize him as the only govern ment In Mexico that has met the United States on a friendly basis. "It looks more hopeful for an agreement between this country and the Huerta administration,** was the comment of Senator Bacon, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee. Senator Bacon said that he had been Informed by the White House that the President had reoelved messages from Mexican Foreign Min ister Gamboa and Governor Lind that a further conference would be held and that possibly some basis of an agreement might be reached. Lind Leaves Capital To Sail for Home. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26.—Special Envoy John Lind, sent here by Pres ident Wilson on a mission of pacifi cation to President Huerta, left the capital at 7 o’clock this morning for Vera Cruz. The failure of his mission here Is causing considerable uneasiness. Mr. Lind probably will sail for the United States upon a warship on his arrival at Vera Cruz, unless his de parture is delayed by the State De partment. President Huerta had offered Mr. and Mrs. Lind the use of his private coach to make the trip across to Vera Cruz, and Mr. Lind had ac cepted, but this morning the private car was not at the station. Conse quently the Lind party had to travel upon an ordinary day coach, as the Vera Cruz train did not carry any Pullmans. Charge D’Affalres Nelson O’Shaughnessy, of the United States Embassy, was at the station to bid VIr. and Mrs. Lind good-bye, but :here were no representatives of the Mexican Government on hand. This was regarded as significant, but not nearly so much so as the absence of the presidential private car. after it had been offered for the use of the special envoy and his wife. Called Direct Affront. Americans looked upon this as a direct affront. The news that Presi dent Wilson had postponed until Wednesday the delivery of his mes sage on Mexican affairs to Congress was received with satisfaction by the Embassy. It had been expected that any utterance from President Wilson construed here as hostile to Mexico might give rise here to an anti- American demonstration. . Belief was expressed that President Huerta asked for a postponement of the delivery of the Wilson message until Mr. and Mrs. Lind are safe on board a United States warship at Vera Crus, that there could be no possible attempt at assassination. There was a miner current among diplomatic circles here that the United States and Mexico may sever all relations within 48 hours, unless the tone of the Wilson message is milder than it is expected to be. Charge D’Affalres O’Shaughnessy and Foreign Minister Gamboa insist, however, that there Is still a chance for both governments to get togeth er in amity. This same belief is not generally shared. President Huerta is said to be ada mant in his determination not to accept any proposals whatsoever from the United States, unless he is recognized as the constitutional ex ecutive of the Republic. His friends declare that he will not entertain for a minute the suggestion that he re sign. It is accepted here as true that both Mr. Lind and William Bayard Hale, the special Investigator sent here by Secretary of State Bryan, have for warded “inside” information to Wash ington regarding the possibility of an early coup on the part of Huerta and his immediate associates in the Gov ernment oligarchy. Floats Loan in England. Mr. Lind was asked immediately prior to his departure whether there was a chance to patch up diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States, but to this he replied: “I can not talk of the situation now. I can not comment even indirectly. Anything I might say might re bound.” Foreign Minister Gamboa insists that no European Government is at tempting to coerce Mexico to abide by proposals put up to Huerta by President Wilson. A significant piece of Information came to-day from Dr. Urrutla. Mexi can Minister of the Interior. ‘Mexico is not so badly off finan cially as th^» outside world thinks,'* said he. “This Government has just concluded arrangements to secure a loan of $20,000,000 from a group *f British capitalists.” Harrison as Governor of the Philippines an Unfit Appointment We have waited several days to see if any valid reason or ex planation could be given for President Wilson’s appointment of Francis Burton Harrison to be Governor-General of the Philip pines. No other foreign post under the government calls for higher qualities of character and capacity, executive skill and experience than that of Governor of eight million Filipinos. What are these simple, saddle-colored souls to, think and say when we offer Mr. Harrison as the American Exhibit A? Where there should be force we give them weakness. Where there should be courage we give them timidity. Where there should be intelli gence we give them mediocrity. Where there should be indepen dence we give them a hand-picked product of the Tammany ma chine. Where there should be a man of iniative and sagacity we give them a merest messenger boy of money. Who and what is Mr. Harrison? Born in New York, he grew up to ask and obtain admission to the bar. More familiar with drawing rooms than courthouses, he ha* been eminently the sort of lawyer of whom, when they fall ill or leave town, the papers chron icle the interruption to their social engagements without saying anything about their practice. Tammany usually sends to Congress either obedient dummies or very rich men. Mr. Harrison has been both. A young lawyer, without many clients, but excellent cotillion qualities and fine Virginia family, he married the California heiress, Miss Crocker, who dowered him with great wealth. He became a generous campaign contributor. Tammany loves gold and sent him to Congress. By mere lapse of time he has become second to Underwood in seniority on the Ways and Means Committee. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, the President’s friend, is third. There is talk of sending Underwood to the Senate, which would make Harrison next in line for (he leader ship of the House. Is President W T ilson sending him to the Philip pines to save the House or to remove one obstacle in Mitchell Palm er's path? This would explain the appointment. It would be al together laughable if it were not altogether lamentable. President Wilson is supposed not to like Boss Murphy and Tammany Hall. His Philippine preference for Mr. Harrison in no wise supports this assumption. Since he took oath as a Represen tative, Mr. Harrison has been docile to the Murphy order—tame to the Murphy touch. When in 1909 the House was in rebellion against the tyranny of Speaker Cannon, Boss Murphy—for a consideration—came to the rescue of that threatened despot. Boss Murphy “ordered” Mr. Harrison to desert the Democrats and run to the aid and comfort of the common enemy. Mr. Harrison ran. Thus do bosses vote their dummies in aid of the criminal Standard Oil or Sugar or Tobacco. Not poltitcs, but bib business, rules when criminal privilege is to be saved. Mr. Harrison was eagerly willing. He turned traitor at a Murphy nod, and, abandoning his post as a doorkeeper in the House of the Lord, raced across to the tents of the ungodly. Mr. Harrison’s vote against Democratic principles was and is the only act to lift its head above the dead and desert level of his House career. If one except his being barred from the White House by the particular Mr. Taft, that Cannon vote constitutes Mr. Harrison’s entire Congressional record. What powers, working through Mr. Wilson, have secured this senseless promotion of Mr. Harrison? No question in a decade has so wrung the withers of political Washington. The public wasn’t clamoring for it. No Philippine interest asked it. Why, then, was so much weakness required at the head of Filipino affairs. True, the Philippines are a sugar preserve, just as they’re a fa vorite hunting ground of tobacco. Also, the robbers, for obvious causes, prefer the Polled Angus breed of governor. Was it a to bacco hint or a sugar hunch that has so boosted Mr. Harrison? As againsj this come others who declare that the bug beneath the chip of the Harrison appointment is a hug, not of tariff, but of social hue. They whisper of blue room, red room reasons, and in form one that, having in view the gentleman’s feelings, Mr. Har rison is sent to Manila only'to get him out of Washington. To put an end to this conflict of harrowing surmise, Mr. Wil son should take mankind into his confidence and give in full his Filipino reasons for the Harrison hopes within him. A White House silence at this crisis would be unfair to sugar, tobacco, the railroads, the Filipinos, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Harrison and society—to say nothing of the public at large. 1 HE OF E Prisoner Rages as Old Foe Enters Fight to Return Him to Mat- teawan Asylum. SHERBROOKE. QUEBEC, Aug. 26. Upon the advice of William T.

Thev deal out Justice that is not impeded and tangled with technicalities and complications. “Former Governor William Stone is a mighty poor weather prophet if no predicted that Thaw would be on Ca nadian soil when the new snow flies. I never heard of it snowing 'n August before. Thaw will be dumped over the border and seized in Vermont or New Hampshire without delay. Ex tradition into New York will hj speedy.” Thaw’s interview attacking Mr. Je rome was given under the same cir cumstances as that yesterday on his sanity. He insisted on writing all he questions and answers and would brook no interference from the re porter. Thaw, if Freed, to Visit Mr. Chaloner SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC.
