AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.

RUMOURS OF HIS RETIREMENT. By Electric Telegrau I)-—Copyright. (Received May 3, 1.40 p.m.) ' LONDON. May 2. Notice of Questions has been given in tho House of Commons as to whether Mr. Bryco, British Ambassador to tho United States, was aware of President Taft’s intention to make Canada an adjunct to tho United States when he recommended tho acceptance of tho reciprocity schorao.

The Evening News, repeating current reports, suggests that Mr. Bryce’s departure to Australia is a' prelude to his accepting a peerage and re-entering British politics. It states that his position has become impossible since the failure of the treaty, and that threequarters of Mr. Bryce’s time is occupied with Canadian affairs.
