we're scarcely noticed, but as Mr.. Bayard
approached the dais and bowed there

thc f..ittcring uniforms and the dresses
;und jewels of the women.
Nh R1yard responded to the toast
The Ambassador" in the following
terms:
II am honored in being chosen to speak
for the corps of which | am n humble
member | confess until $50 this even
ing did not expect to respond to a toast.
However | have obtained an idea from
"a visiting diplomat, Lord Dufferin who
recently said that the governments of the
world were q mass of prating, nervous
sensations. The result, he said. bringing
together these sensations, was to destroy
splendid isolation and was to have gen
slemen consider the rights of others. The
people ] represent have made declara-
tion in no narrow sense, and in no locally
or merely national sense, which stands
rs verdict and declaration for national
holor, speaking to the human heart and
mind in favor of the honesty which is
essential to the civilization of the world.
You can not today shock civilization even
on its exterior boundary without affect
ing it's heart. This enables me to speak,
not for myself or my country, but for
the whole diplomatic corps of the world.

as describing Great Britain's position in
the family of nations.

loud cheers, which quickly subsidized into
breathless silence and close attention to
the annual Guild Hall speech of the
prime minister which is by common ac
ceptation looked upon to embody the Off
cial announcement of the governments
policy towards other nations.
Lord Salisbury said: II thank Mr..
Bayard for his presence here tonight.
BY the few words he has uttered he has
raised his own plane of observation high
above the level of party, to make observa
tons on the international policies of other
states, | may be permitted without inn
pertnence. TO congratulate him upon the
splendid pronouncement which the great
people he represents has made in behalf
of the principles which lie at the basis of
all human society.
at is rather like pathos to turn from
that matter to the not very important
controversy which his country and ours
