The Ambassador" in the following
terms:
Il am honored in being chosen to
speak for the corps of which | am an

However, | have obtained an idea from
a distinguished diplomat, Lord Duffer-
in. who recently said that the govern
memts of the world were a mass of pal
plating, nervous sensations. The re-
suit. he said, CT bringing together these
sensations was to destroy isolation,
splendid or otherwise, and to induce
nations to feel and act as ladies and
gentlemen. with consideration for each
others feelings and interests. The
people | represent have made a declara.

Il thank Mr.. Bayard for his presence
here tonight and for his joining in this
historic meeting. BY the few words he
has uttered he has raised his own plane
eff observation so high above the mere
level of party that. though contrary tc
eur practice to make observations on
the internal politics of other states,
may be permitted, without impertin-
cnce. to congratulate him upon the
splendid pronouncement which the
great people he represents has made In
behalf of the principles which lie at the
base of all human society.
ut is rather like pathos to urn from
that matter to the not very important
controversy which his country ant
