of their intimacy shall be reported in the newspa-

might not be necessary to say anything more about
Mr.. johnson. But the journals continue 10 print de-

of his friends entered Mt once into conversation
with him. After brief interval OF suspense
the American Ambassador asked 10 be introduced 10
Mr. Laird. Mr.. johnson has been long enough in
