the next day, noon, for the desired audience
The audience was duly held, and Consul General

Of his government, and commences his message BY

promulgated in July, 1914, rejecting the act or
clause which gives "a fixed and permanent prefer

the plea Of prior recognition of the Sandwich isl

clause be forthwith c.nceedn and that her Britain
mic Msiesty's government declare that the commits
sioner Of the United States unless he be explicitly
designated in his commission "as charge d'affaires
is entitled to no precedence whatever over British
consul general at the Sandwich islands, under the
regulations Of the Congress Of Vienna, whether the
commissioner be entitled diplomatic commissioner
or not" And concludes by insisting by command,
that unless the commissioner appears a charge

by his government to insist that the land claimed by
Mr.. Charlton shall be Immediately delivered up to
him, or to any person authorized by him to take
possession Of it, on which subject he tells the king
he had written at great length TO Mr.. Wylie, and
requested that the latter might read to the king

king would be led to speedy reflection, and to the
adoption of such action az the honor Of the islands

In the Senate, to-day, very interesting and AMI
mated debate sprung up, somewhat informally, on
the amendment proposed to be offered by Mr.. Col

the joint resolution of notice reported by the Com

opinion should at once be given on the subject be-
fore that body. The discussion, in which Messrs.
Allen, Breese, Calhoun Cass, COlquiu, Crittendsn,
Webster, flanagan, Pennybacker, Johnson Of
Maryland, and Others took part, was continued I'LL
O'Clock, when it was abruptly terminated by a
motion to adjourn; which, after division, prevailed,
and the Senate accordingly adjourned ill Monday
next, MIR. Breese being in possession Of the floor,
and the whole question remaining in siatu que.

THE "GREAT GLOBEn-.gyain

The following card from Mr.. Everett appears in
the last Boston Advertiser. tsupersedes the neces-
sity Of the note which we intended to address the
ex minister. Though no American could entertain
the slightest suspicion that any agent Of the Amer
can government could be guilty of the fraud which
10 conveyed by Lord Brougham's innuendo, yet ii
might be necessary to controyert oven the suppos.
ton, in the face Of oil the world. "My Lord" had
now better apply to Mr.. Malby for further in
formation:
To The Editor 0fths Boston Daily .4drsrtissr:
SrR Your paper Of yesterday contains an ex-
tract from private letter TO a gentleman in Boston,
from one Of the managers of the English Society for
the Diffusion Of Useful Knowledge relative to globe
ordered by M for the Department Of State, which
seems to require some explanation on my part; the
rather as a formal inquiry was addressed the
18th ult. by Lord Broughsm to Lord Aberdeen, in
Parliament, on ths same subject.
The winter OF the letter communicates TO his cor
respondent IN Boston the information received from
Mr.. Malby, tie maker Of the globe, as follows alt
10 a large globe which ordered by Mr.. Everett;
and Mr.. Malby tells me, that though Mr.. Everett,
who ordered 1t for the Department OF Stale at WASH
ington, did not tell him to insert tho boundary which
appears IT, he was led TO infer that il would be
acceptable, and as il was an American order, and
the globe was intended for public department in
INC OHlNtu ONhfht He COlOicu ln--lOf " IN not cn-
grsved-lhe boundary which appears on it."
From this statement Of Mr. Malby, it might be
supposed that he order for the globe gwen by
me 10 him, and that though directions given
by me about the boundary, something at least was
said by me from which he led 10 infer that il
would be acceptable to have the boundary coored
according to the American claim. Such however is
not the case.
My order for the globe was given to MIR. Miller,
"a bookseller in London employed as the general
agent of the American legation for matters Of this
kind y and my only directions to him were to pro-
cure the largest and best globe that could be found.
saw no person but Mr.. Miller in reference to the
order; gave him no other direction than that
now mentioned; nor was the globe seen by me
I'LL it was delivered by the maker at Mr.. Miller's
shop, where, at his request, went to it Sat-
urday the 18th ofJanuary, preparatory TO its being
shipped on Monday the 9th.
| cannot, OF course, undertake to say what may
have passed between Mr.. Miller and Mr. Malby
during the progress Of the work. in reference to the
cooring of the boundary but no allusion to that
subject was made by myself to Mr.. Miller, so
have belief that it was mentioned by Mr.. Miller
to Mr.. Malby.

The "London Times" Is as famous for the weak
ness ofits arguments as it is for its msreprssen-
tation of facts, about American affairs For exam
pIe-what can be more ridiculous than the follow
ing extract from one of its last specuatons on the
corn-awsa
"At present, as we have repeated till we are re.
ally ashamed TO repeat il again, the corn-growers
all over me world are quite unprepared for COMPETE
ton with the British farmer. They possess neither
present store nor productive means. They have
neither capital nor skill, nor implements, nor cattle,
nor farmouildIngs, nor carriages, nor roads, nor
seeus, nor any one requisite for the competition.
lhey are years behindhand, and want years to get
ready The effect Of the proposed measure, there
tore, IL TO give them notice We warn them to look
forward We discourage them from wasting their
resources by an immediate and waseful importation
INTO England. That would be killing the goose for
tne golden eggs As a particular favor TO the Brit.
Ish farmer, and at his most special request we pre-
vent importation when it can do him no possible
harm, IN order that the enemy may reserve his
s'rength Tor more formidable and permanent COM
petition when It may be injurious"
This Is really amusing. America does not ssl,
three years to prepare the "ull bosom" of her exu
berant production for the famished lips of the Eng
lsh people. Did not the Times" see, that thousands
oil barrels OF -four were poured down the Erie canal
alone last fall at its own first annuncation that the
eorn-Iaws were TO be Immediately repealed Give our
farmers notice by the next fall only that their bread
