the monarchs to whose courts they ac-
credited by means so rare might be
supposed from the remembrance that II was the
slight to which old Emperor William is alleged
to have subjected the French Ambassador at
Ems in 1870 which brought about Frances
declaration Of against Germany. 1t was
the treatment accorded by Napoleon III to the
Austrian Ambassador. Baron Won Hubner, at
the New Years Day reception al the Tuileries
in 1859 In the presence OF the entire court. that
led to the war which eliminated in the battle
of Solferino and ended in the peace Of Villa
franca.
Words Of abuse addressed by the first Ma
poleon TO Lord Witworth at a ball at the
Tuileries resulted in the renewal of that strug-
gle between England and France which termi-
mated with the overthrow Of the Empire and
the exile Of Bonaparje TO Elba. Diplomatic re-
latiOns were interrupted for several years be-
tween Spain and Great Britain in consequence
Of the attitude OF Queen Isabella and Of her
mother, the Queen Regent, toward the English
Envoy. Lord Howard; while on one memorable
occasion in England Queen Victoria publicly
manifested her disapproval OF the extravagant
behavior Of the Duchesse de Persgny by hrst
OF all ignoring her presence as well as that OF
her husbands AT a bah. and then by personally
applying to the Emperor for their recall as per
sons In every way distasteful TO herself, ana
therefore, not calculated by their residence IN
London to promote harmony between the TWO
Governments and the two nations.
If we are to believe the recent DISPATCHES
from Constantinope. the English Ambassador,
Sir Philip Curre. was nsulted the other day
by being kept waiting for over an hour IN an
ice-cold ante-room at the Yildiz Kiosk for the
Sultan's pleasure to receive him: while a battle
royal took place on the occasion OF one Easter
reception at the Palace OF Belgrade because
Queen Natalie publicly turned her back upon
the wife Of the Greek Envoy, a Nine. Nasos.
in consequence Of the attentions lavished upon
the latter by King Milan.
Probably the most ridiculous slight to which
a foreign Envoy was ever subjected by the
sovereign to whose court he was accrediteu
was when the big burly and white haired LoTd
Croner was given to understand by the bump
tious little Khedive whom he had danded as

What Congressman 0uigg Says Concern
ing Its Acceptance.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-"Inasmuch as
the question of the acceptance or monaco
ceptance of the Pere Marquette statue
hinges on the result of my inquiries as to
precedents, said Congressman Quigg,
formerly editor of the New York Press,
lit is my purpose TO proceed carefully
with my Investigations on this subject.
"Wisconsins people evidently knew
what they wanted when they chose the
statue of Marquette as one of their repre-
sentatives in Statuary hall and congress
should defer largely to their wishes in
such matter This will be the idea up
permost in my mind as i go along with
the subject intrusted to me by the house
committee on the library, and there will
be no discrimination against the statue on
religious grounds.
my father was Methodist preacher
and was raised in that church, but this
will not have the slight influence with me
in reaching determination on which to
base report TO congress- All / want to
know is what will please the people Of
Wisconsin, and their wishes will have
more influence with me than anything
else, although am not states right man

village of Lindsay and about eight miles

Immediately prepared to leave the house

Another shot and one of the sons fell,

received "a shot. The fiend then escaped

been committed by IA young farmer named

noon an immense waterspout sprung up
in Lake Michigan 1t was followed by a
fierce squall, and for a while 1t was feared
that the city might be endangered. Water
was sent whirling up in great volumes
high into the air, falling back like a con-
tinuous cloudburst The waterspout dis
turbed the water for many yards about
it and left long path of foam-whitened,
seething water. This phenomenon trav-
eled with wonderful rapidity for several
miles, finally breaking. 1t is the largest
waterspout ever seen here, and is the first

For twenty years she has been afflicted

agony. She has doctored constantly, and
l have paid out in doctors bills for her

lief was only such that she would be able
to be around for spell. Some time ago
she felt the symptoms of another attack

kidneys and back. / hardly know what

commenced their use. 1t was a surprise
to us both to see their action; the attack
was warded off, and she continued taking
them with marked improvement each day
