ed and Berlin Regards
Incident as Closed.
TOWER RETIRES JUNE 1
Appointment as Ambassador Ad
vanced Two tenths from Original
Date and it in Exported tliut the
Senate wilt ConInn Ills Appoint
ment Without Delay.
Washington, April 2. President
Roosevelt sent the name of Dr. David
JayneHIUas Ambassador to Germany
to the Senate, and thus closed the
"diplomatic incident' which lias
stirred the entire administration
here, as well as the German court at
Berlin. The President also noml
ated Arthur M. Beaupre, of Illi
nois, to be Minister to the Nether
lands and Luxemburg, and Spencer
F. Eddy of Illinois, to be Minister to
the Argentine Republic.
Dr. Hill's appointment Is to take
fleet on June 1 Instead of In August,
as was originally Intended, and It Is
tpected the Senate will confirm his
nomination without delay. It has
been referred to the committee on
Foreign Relations, which may take
tt np Immediately.
While the nomination of Dr. Kill,
after the alleged criticisms by the
German Emperor, Is regarded as a
complete vindication for him In view
Of the statements by Emperor Wil
liam, and the appointment Is to take
effect several months In advance of
the time originally set. Dr. Hill's
friends would not be surprised if he
were transferred to another post of
equal Importance within a short time
after assuming bis duties in the Ger
man Empire.
It is conceded In diplomatic clr-
DR. DAVID J. HILL.
eJes. that despite all of the pleasant
tilings which Lave been said by the
Salser and in official statements made
to the President, Dr. Hill's position
Berlin is bound to be Bomewhat
smbarjassliig and that he will ar
mnge for a transfer as soon as be
feels that he has been completely
indicated.

London, April 1. All the London
papers are now In possession of the
latest phase of the Hill incident, but
for the most part they refrain from
Comment. The Daily News, how

pulsive temperament and is singular

and a bystander were slightly in.
Jured, but none of them seriously
enough to ie taken to the hospital,
although the bomb thrown was less
than fifteen feet from tho pollen.
, That it was a plot well organized
and safe-guarded against failure,
was shown by the presence of a
third man, who held a bomb In re
serve and was seen to pans It to
fourth man when the police pressed
him hard, both escaping. The semi
Incoherent words of the dying bomb
thrower showed that he was nut

buoyed him up sufficiently to refuse
to reveal who were his comraJes in

Had the bomb been thrown suc
