MIR. Bayard, in treating Of the COM
munity of interests of the nations Of
the world, all being affected by the
dofngs of others, referred to the Presi-
Dental election in the United States,
saying: Il am very sure that it was
In no narrow party sense, no merely
national sense, that the heart of the
people which it is my highest honor to
represent was echoed in a voice that
could not be mistaken, standing as it
does for national honor and the contin-
u;ty Of national obligations, making the
world safer in the trust of each, apd
speaking as emphatically as the human
mind and human heart ever spoke in
favor Of that honesty which IS an essen
tial condition of civilization every
where" Cloud cheers)
When Lord Salisbury arose to reply

an ovation. After thanking the Lord
Mayor and the others present for the
warmth Of the welcome extended him,
he said:
II thank the Embassador Of the
United States for his presence here. and
for joining a great historic meeting. By
tie few words he has uttered he has
raised his own plane of observation so
high above the mere level OF party that,
though contrary to practice TO remark
upon the internal politics of other
states, may be permitted, without i'm
DertinenCe. to congratulate him upon
the splendid pronouncement the great
,,eopla he represents have made in be-
half of the priciples which lie at the
base of all human society. (Cheers)

arbitration, but whether arbitration
should have unrestricted application.
and we have always claimed that those
who apart from historic right, had the

1T is a matter Of no small satistac-
ton to the Government that at time
when anxious social questions. which
are far more important than pohtical
questions, are troubling the United
States, and therefore troubling the
world. we should have any semblance
OF political difficulty that might hinder
common action in defense OF the com

Office, but we have floated into pc
