I1NGU4GE OF DIPLOMACY.

Until the opening Of the eighteenth century
Latin was the recognized language OF dlplo-
macy. Every State employed its own tongue
in communicating with other Powers, but where
a treaty or convention was negotiated con-
venent neutral language was necessary. The
medaeval conrpscts between reigning dynas-
ties, the treaties Of Nmeguen, Ryswick, Utrecht
and many. other internationl agreements were
drawn up in Latin. The protocols OF the
Ouadruple Alliance concluded in Lsndon as
late as 1888 were In the same language. With
the exception OF the Vatican, which still re-
tains Latin as the language for its diplomacy
and official acts, the European Powers have used
French from the time Of the Revolution and
the Napoleonic wars. The Treaty Of Vienna in
1915 was drawn up in that language. Ma
poleons Empire was overthrown by a series Of
coalitions but he had succeeded In substituting
French for Latin in Continental negotiations
and the continual use Of that tongue as the
neutral language of diplomacy was one OF the
"reminiscences Of his victorious career. The
Treaty Of 1888. separating Belgium from Hol'
land, and the Treaty Of Paris at the close Of
the Cnmea, were both in French. The treaties
of San Stefano and Berlin at the end of the
last Turkish war were drawn up in the same
language.
Commissioner Phelps states that the recen
conference at Berlin was opened in French. but
by u vote Of 9 to English was substituted fol
that language ia the preliminary negotiation
aud discussions The first draft Of the protoco
or treaty was drawn up in English and subse'
qucntly translated into German. The Amer
| can and British Commissioners naturally PIE
| ferred their own language, and az Count Her
bert Bismarck speaks English as fiuently as HI
does French or German, there was no objec
ton TO the adoption OF new neutral tongue
| Mr. Phelps is undoubtedly right in saying tina
! this is the first occasion when diplomatic
conference in Europe has been carried ON ex
cusively in the English tongue. This is on
| Of many signs that English is destined to be tn
future language of diplomacy. The Enghsi
race has surpassed all others in colonization ant
commercial development, and its language mus
inevitably become the common medium OF com
municstien In the affairs OF nations.

The mild regret which American yachtsmen
will feel at the refusal Of the British Royal
Yacht Squadron to accept the conditions OF the
new deed of gift Of the Americas Cup VIII DC
tempered by two consolatory thoughts one Is
that the series Of unbroken victories won oy
American yachts over all challengers has proved
beyond cavil that the yachts built on tnis
side Of the Atlantic are the best and tastes' III
the world. The other is that, as the cup was
originally won in contest open to all corners,
as the America beat all competitors almost OUT
of sight, a. the Cup has been DEFENDED IN con-
test after contest at heavy outlay OF Tune
trouble and money, as it has remained on this
aide OF the sea for more than a quarter OF a
century, the present holders have a clear right
to make whatever conditions they please. More
over, It may be added that there is nothing un-
fair grasping, one-sded or unsportsnlanIike
in the conditions Of the new deed OF gift.

Nationalist Meeting.

Turn Verein Hall was again we'll filed
yesterday afternoon, at the third meeting
of the National League. Hon. A. G.
Fish, of the firm of Fish Bros, wagon
manufacturers of Racine, Wis, presided.
Miss L. A. OFF, the Secretary was absent,
and Mr.. A. Vinette was appointed Secre-
tary pro tenn. The President read
extracts from the "Forum," showing
that the ablest thinkers are aware that
the inevitable tendency OF progress in
industries is towards association and CO.
operation on an increasing scale, and
that they will probably have to be placed
under State control for their continued
progression. In reference to the bill
passed last week by the German Reichs-
tag to insure aged workingmen, he quoted
Bismarck's plea, as follows:
"The fear Of introducing Socialistic
element into our legislation need not de-
ter us for so far from this being novel;
ty, it is only development of the modern
state idea springing from Christian NOR
ality, that the State is bound to promote
the prosperity of all its members, and
especially the necessitous."
Rev. Mr.. Bowen, of the New Church,
Ontario, Cal, said he had read Looking
Backward" and considered it as carry.
ing Christian principles into practical
everyday life.
Mr.. Keith said that Jesus, when asked
his views on state affairs, always gave an
eVasive answer because he foresaw that
the individual had to be educated into
the principles of a common brotherhood
before it could find voice in legislation.
Mrs. A. F. Smith stated that the CO.
operative industry heretofore has mainly
been presented as material benefit, and
there has not been enough in it to satisfy
the spiritual craving of mankind.
Mr.. Biddle thought the movement
would ere long be crystallized into
political party.
A committee was appointed to request
Mrs. Florence Williams to deliver lec-
ture next Sunday, under the auspices of
the club. She is daughter of the nov
elist, Mr. G. P. r. James, and a gifted
advocate of the National movement.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-17

wants to, and in return the
Pacific Union has declared all rates
off after the 9th day of August.
This means war among the insurance
companies, and consequently good op-
portunity for the public TO secure cheap
premiums. During the other conflict,
property on which the Union insurance
is 21a per cent, Was rated for 60 cents
per 800, and as business places are
usually contracted for for one year, aud
dwelling houses for three years, some
good opportunities are coming.
Insurance men say that in all proba-
bility the Pacific Union will 90 under
altogether. During the five years it has
been in existence it has cost the under
writer's $260,0G0, for the usual tax is u
of per cent of the premium. Manager
Stillman's salary alone is Sc 900 per an
nun, and there are many other WE'LL
paid officials. At present the work
of the Union 10 pro 'ective. Every
insurance report goes to the general
agent, and then the contracts are exam
ined, and if approved are stamped. The
whole thing now rests with the New
Zealand company, and il it keeps the
position it has taken there will be lively
times couple of months from now. A
war would mean the collapse of num-
ber of smaller companies, for they could
not pay expenses on low rate premiums.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-17
THE UNION IN DANGER.
War Pending Amongst the In
surance Companies.

war PendlnG Amongst the In.
surance Companies.
There is blood on the face of the moon
as far as the insurance companies are
concerned, and it looks as if the great
Pacific Union is to collapse. The trouble
originates with the New Zealand Com
pony, which has suddenly pronounced
it's own independence and determination
to conduct its business as it see fit.
To thoroughly explain the matter, a
short resume OF the history of the Union
is necessary. 1t was organized
Oh April 5th, 1885, with the OBJ
iect of protecting the different agencies
and maintaining rates which were suffer-
ing heavily, as far as the underwriters
were concerned, on account OF the num-
Der of fire losses. By the original terms
of the Union, it was agreed that salaried
officers or extra commissions were to be
allowed to all the accepted cities, that is
those that were in operation at different
places before the Union was formed. 1t
was further agreed that this extra COM
mission power could be inherited by the
companies, provided it was placed in the
hands of agents who had never been
conducting affairs for any other member
of the Union.
The first outcome of this was war.
The Southern California Insurance Com
pany refused to sign the contracts, and
was accordingly outlawed. No other
company was allowed to take risk on a
premium drawn up by the Southern,
thereby compelling that company to take
all its heavy risks alone, or else turn
over the whole thing to the Union.
Such a state OF things WAS very unpleas-
ant, and finally resulted in the boy
cotted company joining the clan, and
things went harmoniously for while.
The next storm was raised by the New
Zealand Company, the manager of which,
Mr.. Hugh Craig, appointed an agent
here in the person of Mr.. George Brad
bere, and gave him salaried position.
This was in opposition to the rules of the
Union, which are that to no other than
the accepted companies can salaries be
paid, and fixing in lieu thereof maxi
mum commission of 20 per cent. The
New Zealand Company pleaded that ii
was not in Los Angeles before this was
acknowledged, but it was pointed out
that the company had formally with.
drawn for certain period. Then the
Zealanders said that Mr.. Bradbee was
Southern California manager, and not
on agent of oil hnt this lain wae dis
allowed, and the company was fined
$3.50.
The result has been q strike. The
New Zealand Company announces that
it will keep salaried official here If II
