GOLWELL IS NAMED
Taft Renews Fight With Sena
tor Bourne on Marshalship.
NEW PRECEDENT IS SET
Man Rejected by Senate Never Before-
Continued In Office Mal
colm to Stay Long Enough to
Teach Bourne Lesson.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington. April f. Elmer B. Cblwstl waa
today again nominated for Cnltod States
Marshal for Oregon In face of the fact
that bla nomination will certainly bo
rejected.
Tho nomination was a surprise to
Senator Bourne, who believed bis fight
on Cblwell waa orer. Ho was expecting
the President to name some othsr man.
It Is not expected that the Senate will
act upon any but the muet urgent ap
pointments until after tho comraltteoa
aro organized.
But Ctolwell'g name was today referred
to the -Judiciary committee and In a day
or two Brnatora Bourne and Chamber
lain will again file protests and declsro
Ctlwell's nomination Is personally ob
noxious to them. These protfoxa In dus
time will bo considered by tho Judiciary
committee and an adverse report Is ex
prcted to bo followed Immediately by tho
rejection of tho nomination In tho Senate.
Colwell Will Stay, If Rejected.
In tho event of Colwell'n rejection, tt
la expected no new sppolntment will bo
made Tho effect of this will bo to leave
Colwell In office serving under his receew
sppolntment. which Is not cancelled by
bis nomination and which Is effective
up to the Urns of adjournment of tho
present eesalon of ctongress. provides tj,o
Iresklent Is willing be shall continue In
office. If tho rreeldVnt denlrea. ho can
give Colwell onother recess appoint
ment, which will carry him to tho close
of tho next ensuing session of Congress.
Whether the Freoldent will keep Col
well In office Indefinitely In this way or
will later make a new appointment can
not be learned, but. If Colwell Is per
muted to continue In office after his
nomination la rejected by the Senate, tha
prrw lint will have established a new
precedent. Never before has any man
relected by tho Senate been continued In
office. It Is understood there Is no law
cornprlllor tho President to make a new
appointment In oase of adverae action by
tho Senate, but tho custom bea always
beea to drop any man whoso nomination
as rejected.
Malcolm Will Hold Over.
"The President did not renominate P. 8.
Malcolm as Collector of Customs, though
It la his purpose to continue him la office

AGREEMENT WITHIN SIGHT
Delegates at El Pao and San An
tonio Xot to Go to Madero Gomes ,
Has Understanding- With Do
la Hurra on Terms.
WASHINGTON,- April 6. Tho Infor
mal conference In Washington 10 days
ago between Senor De la Barra. Mexi
can Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Dr. Vasquex Gomes, head of tho revo
lutionary party's confidential agency
here, details of which gradually aro
leaking out. ha resulted In the taking
of steps, which soon may effect a settle
ment of the trpubles in Mexico.
Dr. Gomes today sent message to
bis colleagues In both El Paso and San
Antonio. Texas. Informing them that
he hoped soon to be In direct commu
nication with Francisco L Madero. the
Insurrectd chief, and suggesting that It
perhaps might be unnecessary for them
to hssard the trip to the Madero camp.
Within tho last two days It has been
privately suggested to Influential per
sons In Mexico City that peace condi
tions would be hastened If telegraphic
communication were permitted between
Dr. Gomes In Washington and Fran
cisco L Madero In Chihuahua, Dr. Go
mes being named by Madero as the
only man beside himself to whom peace
proposals could be addressed.
Dr. Gomes also believes an under
standing could bo effected If ho were
able to communicate with tho rebel
leader about the conditions.
Dr. Gomes, who was a candidate for
vice-president on the . same ticket on
which Francisco L Madero ran for
president In tho last election, alway
expressed a high personal regard for
Senor Do la Barra, and It Is believed
tho cordial meeting of tho two here,
even though each was without Instruc
tions and expressed only personal opin
ions, was the forerunner of peace nego
tiations that soon may follow.
FEDERAL ARMY BOTTLED T7P
Madero Prepares for Decisive Blow
Against Chihuahua.
CHIHUAHUA. Mex, April 5- Three
thousand troops, representing tho main
strength of President Dlas" forces in
Northern Mexico, are "bottled up" In
this city. -
It U tho belief of the 700 Americans
hero that Francisco Madero. tho lnsur
rscto President, Is preparing to deliver
a decisive stroke with a view to bring
ing tho Insurrection to a crisis In this
section. The opinion expressed by the
Americans is that with its present tac
tics of allowing its forces to be shut
up in the towns, the Mexican govern
ment will never be able to suppress the
Insurrection; that the Insurrectos are
gaining strength dally and already they
have' extended their control over a far
greater area than heretofore has been
allowed to become known.
Chihuahua, with 85.000 Inhabitants.
Is believed to be well fortified. The
churches, housetops and other points
of vantage, are surmounted by breast
works and machine guns. . The troops,
mounted and headed by brass bands,
frequently parade through the streets,
as If to Impress the people with a feel
ing of security. Just outside tho c(ty
the Insurrectos are in great force.
