LONDON. Nov. 1.-The appointment of
MIR. James Roosevelt as secretary of the
United States embassy to succeed Mr..
Henry White, resigned, has caused quite
commotion in the American colony here. 1t
is evident that the appointment caused
equal surprise to Mr.. Bayard and other
officials OF the United States embassy,
where it was generally thought that Mr..
White was a MIXTURE. as he had successfully
resisted numerous attempts to dislodge him.
1t was known for instance that Mr.. Blaine
had definitely promised the post to a friend
OF his, and that Mr.. Whites friends,
headed by Chauncey NJ. Depew, came to his
rescue and persuaded President Harrison to
override Mr. Blaine. This increased the
strained relations which already existed be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Harrison, ac-
cording 10 the story tod here.
Mr.. Bayard, in an interview to-day, said
that il was quite untrue that Mr.. White
had been superseded owing TO strained re-
lations between himself and Mr.. White

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The explorer Soller, in an
interview published to-day, intimates that
the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, has ar
ranged a treaty between France, Russia
and Spain, by the terms of which the lat
ter's ultimate occupation of Tangier is pro-
vided for. 1t is added that even should
this last mentioned portion of the treaty
fail TO take effect, that the powers have de-
termined that British occupation of Tan
gier must be prevented at any cost. Several
of the newspapers OF this city and other
important parts of France join in declaring
that Europe cannot afford to allow Eng
lana TO occupy and hold the key to the
Mediterranean, and these newspapers con-
tlnue by urging the government to immedi-
ateIy dispatch powerful French squadron

any interference upon the part of Great
Britain in the disturbances about AIelilla,
and TO enable the French TO be III a posi-
ton to checkmate any attempt upon the

duty OF France to take the initial step
should any interference be necessary upon

The affairs of Morocco. ana it is also urged
that the presence of this French squadron at
Tangier might be used to force the
Sultan to take steps to support the Spanish
troops against the MoorS now surrounding
Melllla- In any case it is intimated that
Spain should insist that the Sultan of
Morocco take immediate action against the
Moors, and that when the latter have
finally been driven away from the heights
surrounding Melilla, that the Spanish SOW
eminent must insist upon a heavy indem-

One That the Democracy Would Do " siI

The old adage: Honesty is the best
policy is of broader significance than
politicians and officials seem to under
stand. IL is the summary of a praeti-
cal system of philosophy. For the ben
eft of the guild just mentioned let it
be put in this form: "A strict regard
for the public welfare is the best pol
icy" and it may then possess . new
significance.
Public servants and those whs are
most active in making them are, for
the most part, inoculated with the .dea
that the best policy for them and tEeir
party is to use their power to keep tae
political workers in line by judicious
distribution of public favors- II does

discharge OF public duties by men
of the foremost ability and integ-

Is Enthusiastically the good of the whole

accounts. It is true that not all th,'
people appreciate such service in public
affairs, but a persistent trial OF the
policy would soon make it the standard
