London, Nov. 9.-With bright erisp
weather to-day, the time-honored Lord
Mayors Show" took place and the new
Lord Mayor Of London, Mr. A. Faudel-
Phillips, was formally installed in office,
succeeding Sir Walter Wilkin.
The old established custom showed little
sign of becoming obsolete and, owing to
the popularity of the new Lord Mayor
and some unusual features in the street
parade, the occasion was the most in
testing of recent years.
Hitherto, it has been customary to
have series of triumphal cars represent
ing some alegoricai or historical subject
upon which numerous young women lave
shiyered in the November wind. In place
Of these in to-day's procession. the cars
were occupied by groups, showing tie
various conditions of London industries
during the past century. The procession
started from the GuiIdhaIl at 10.30 a. m.
Along the route the usual bunting and
decorations were displayed. these being
particularly noticeable in Cheap Side. and
New Gate street

a brilliant affair. The guests included
all the members Of the British officials
and their ladies, and the diplomatic corps.
Mr. Bayard, the American Ambassador,
responded to the toast of 1.-The Ambassa-
dor" in the following terms:

obtained an idea from q distinguished
diplomat, Lord Dufferin, who recently
said that the governments of the world
were a mass of palpitating nervous SEN
sations. The result, he said, Of 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. You cannot to-day
shock civilization even on it's exterior
boundaries without affecting it's heart

of the Prime Minister, which is by com |

policy to the nation. Lord Salisbury said: |
II thank Mr.. Bayard for his preface |
here tonight and his joining in this his |
toric meeting. BY the 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 our
practice to make observations on the .
internal politics of other States, ] may
be permitted without impertinence to con- |
gratllate him upon the splendid prOnunce-
ment which the great people he represents
has made in behalf of the principles which
lie at the basis of all human society
1T is rather like pathos to turn from (
that matter to the not very important
controversy which his country and ours
have had during the recent months. /
only do so for the purpose Of expressing
my belief that the controversy is at an
end. (Cheers.)
I'VE have always claimed, respecting
those who, apart from historic right, had
the right which attaches to settled estab-
lishments that the settled districts should
be excluded from arbitration. Our diff
Guilty, for many months has been to find
how to define the settled districts; and
the solution has come, / think, from the
country Mr.. Bayard represents, in the
that we should treat the colon
lal empire pust as we treat individuals;
that the same lapse of time which pro-
tects individuals in civic life from having
their title questioned should also protect
the English colony from having it's title
and where that lapse Of time
it is not been claimed, though there
should be an examination OF the title,
yet all that equity demanded in considera-
ton of such title should be granted. 1t
