AS VIEWED BY A DIPLOMAT.
Ex-President White, of Cornell,
Talks OF the Consular Service.


Andrew D. White, ex-president of Cornell,
ex-minister to Germany and Russia. deliv-
cred his lecture on diplomatic Service at
the Church Of the Redeemer last evening to
a large and appreciative audience.
Mr.. White opened his address by quoting a
remark made by journalist. which was to
the effect that regular ministers were not
necessary. In case of some alteration or
difference between the United States and some
other country, that one be sent to the seat Of
trouble and see that matters are properly ad-
justed, after which the ambassador should
be recalled. The speaker did not agree with
this. 1t was Of the greatest Importance to
this country the speaker contended, that
man always be on the spot. The right man
saying the right thing at the right time could
often avert trouble which would otherwise
result. Reasons that the speaker gave for
his belief were, first, for the modification of
treaties, which could be better done by
man acquainted with the people and opportu-
mites; secondly, it would keep the germs of
international troubles from growing, and Gre
ate an atmosphere Of friendliness. The
speaker stated that 1t was mainly through
the social positions that England allowed its
ministers to assume in foreign courts that
have greatly contributed to her success AL
though England, as country, was not we'll
liked, still great diplomatic service was rem
dered through her ambassadors from prom
inence given them socially. Mr.. White be-
lieved that the United States should see her
representatives should be assisted In attain
ing higher standing In this respect
The duties Of the ambassador were mani
fold. The reports that could be rendered by
him would be OF ineStimabie value to the COM
mercial and manufacturing interests Of the
country, and the services that could be given
visiting Americans, who had real and i'm
aginary grievances, would be Of the greatest
value
Mr.. White was firm in the belief that the
system is a saving enc in the long run. Wars
are often averted by prompt action. Last
year the system had cost the United States
$500, co., while one day Of the civil had
cost So, 000, GOO.
Reforms that were needed in the present
system, the speaker said were that a resi-
dence should bs furnished the country's rep
resentative, and effort should be made to
keep tried men at foreign courts and that a
by which ministers to the smaller countries
would be promoted to the larger when the oc-
casion required 1t.
Mr.. Whites discourse was replete with an
ecdotes taken from his personal experience
in Germany and Russia, and greatly assisted
in calculating the speakers arguments.

New N. p. Company Wants Lands of
the Old Corporation

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Feb. 13.-The
Northern Pacific railway company has
filed a petition with Judge Jenkins.
asking the court to decree a lien in it's
favor upon the lands Of the Northern
Pacific Railway company, which were
not covered by the mortgages, to the
amount Of $44,S81.37. Judge Jenkins
has ordered all of the parties interested
to make answer and file objection by
March 1.
The lands directly affected are gem
orally known as the lands east Of the
Missouri river, and which have been
unfncumbered, except by the lien of the
preferred stock. By the purchase OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany's property the new company as
serts that it succeeded to its rights
and therefore it is entitled to a first
lien upon the property and over all
creditors 1t is claimed that the ex-
penses were incurred in making sur
veys and securing patents and paying
taxes. If the lien is allowed, 1t will
seriously affect the stockholders lien.

AIR LINE BOMB.
big Cut Made In BOston-St. Louis
Freight Rates.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 13-The Air
Line threw bonlbsnell into railroad
circles yesterday by announcing that
effective Monday. it will carry first
class freight from New York. Boston
and Providence to East St Louis at a
rate OF 80 cents per hundred. The
existing all rail is 81 cents. The new
rate from Philadelphia will be 81 cents
ana from Baltimore 50 cents. Core
spending reductions is made in other
classes as follows: Second class will
De % cents; third class, AZ; fourth class,
SO; fifth and sixth classes, 27 cents. The
same line recently reduced freight rates
from East St Louis to-Boston from 751b
cents to 46 cents and the cut announced
yesterday probably indicates a lively
fight among EASTERN lines for west
bound business. dthe Air Lines connec-
ton is the Ashevilles which carries
freight consignediato the east by steam
er to Norfolk and thence over the
Southern railway. to louisville.

DISSOLUTION IMPENDING.
Western Freight Association May Go
to Pieces

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The meeting of
the Western Freight association,
which is to be held in this city next
week, will be one Of the most impor-
tant meetings ever held by that organ
ization. The principal matter that will
come up for discussion is the right OF
the Illinois Central to cut rates south
of the Ohio river. The Illinois Central
will not recede from the position that
1t has the right to make rates in this
territory, and will in all probability
pull out Of the association. If it should
pull out and make fight against tho
association lines it will probably result
ia a war on grain rates that will mean
the practical dissolution Of the associ-
alton.
The chances now are that a rate of
$50 from Chicago and about $40 from
the Missouri river will be made to tho
big fight in Nevada. The action Of the
Southern Pacific In announcing that il
would make low rates from Ogden has
had something to do with the decision
Of the other roads to reduce the rates.
The matter will be settled, however,
within the next few days.

the ground that there was no provisional

mus no man forced to exist upon his own

provision In the statutes simply refers to
the one-third interest in the estate. but
there is nothing therein providing for an at

At the Portals of the Unknown,

On one occasion only has any really seri.
GUS attempt been made to explore and in
vestigato the regions situated to the south
of the Antarctic circle, and that attempt,
Incredible as it may appear, was made
more than so years ago.
Nothing OF importance has been under.
taken since. Even the portals of this I'M
known area can hardly be said to have
been approached during that time. Half
century is long period, especially in
this enterprising and adventurous age
when tho ever restless and enthusiastic
energies Of the pioneers of civilization arc
leaving their indelible footprints over por.
tions Of the globe thnt so years ago wero
deemed almost inaccessible, for one par
tlcular part of the world to remain wrapped
In the same impenetrable darkness that
has surrounded 1t from time immemorial.
Now, however, the time has arrived
when the question of polar research in
both hemispheres should be equally con-
sidered. There Is still much to be done in
the north, and SO long as gallant explorers,
like Nansen, jackson and Peary continue
to devote their energies in that direction,
we shall not rest satisfied until the entire
area of nearly million and half square
miles has been faithfully delineated on
our maps But it Is an indsputable fact
that there is much more than this to be
done In the south, for there Is more than
seven times that extent of undiscovered
area TO be explored, and although the Ant
arctic circle has been pierced in two or
three places, our geographical knowledge
OF that region is not only extremely linn
tied, but may BIO regarded as purely con-
jectural. In the Antarctic We have abso-
lutely everything to learn.-Admiral A.

count''-Edhem Pasha Invites the
Greeks to Return to Larissa.
st. Johns, N. f., April 2s.-Anxiety
Is felt at st. Pierre as to the condition
OF the four survivors of the wrecked
French brigantins valiant, which
struck an Iceberg on the Grand Banks
on the night of April IA and foundered
almost Immediately. Three of them arc
In a ccmatose condition, and 1t is feared
that only one will survive. This is the
man who was able to tell of their suf-
ferings.
Their physical and mental sufferings
are terrible. 1t was found necessary
to amputate the arms and feet OF
three. Their ears and noses were
shockingly frozen, and the flesh pre-
sents chastity and leprouslike ap-
pearance. As II this was not wretch.
edness enough. their reason is tenn
porarily. If not permanently gone. As
they lie In their cots they rave In dis
tracted recollection Of their awful ex-
perience.
1t Is scarcely possible to get any
definite notion of the incidents of the
disaster, but II seems from what can
be snatched from their incoherent
cries and rawlings that four dories were
overturned at the moment of the
wreck. Two of the men on board the
rescued dory were taken from the water
almost drowned. These were the first
two to perish. The third who died
was young fellow about IS. He
made stubborn fight for life.
-Four boats are known to have got
safely away from the ship, but the
captains boat was the only one after
ward seen by the occupants of the res
cued dory.
The intense cold made It almost i'm
possible for them to do anything in
the way Of navigating the dory, and
they were compelled to drift hopelessly.
The most horrifying Incident of the
experience was the cannibalsm to
which they were driven by the resist
less pangs of hunger. The dead body
which they used for food was frozen
SO stiff that they were scarcely able to
hack off the flesh with their knives.
For two days the lives of the sur
vivors were sustained in this way.
Every effort is being made to rescue
the occupants Of the four missing boats,
If it should have been their good for
tune to have survived. Outgoing ves-
sells will make a close search of the
waters north and south of st. Johns,
but there Is little hope of further res.
cues, and 1t is likely that 65 lives have
been lost,

A Church Story,

Not very many years ago, in country
church in the west of England, the rector,
preaching with great earnestness for home
missions, took for his text, Feed me with
food convenient for me-" As he came
down from the pulpit, well content with
the effect his eloquence had produced on
the congregation, the disturbing thought
struck him that he had madc no arrange
ment for the collection (sure to be u liberal
one on this occasion). AS he passed through
the chancel he whispered hurriedly to an
intelligent choirhoy, "Go into the vestry,
take the plate you will find on the table,
hand it round to the congregation, and
then bring it to me" The boy departed
on his GRAND, and the rector took his place
within the communion rails and gave out
the offertory hymn
The last words of this had scarcely died
away when the boy stood before him,
plate Of biscuits in his hand, and an apol-
ogetic expression on his chubby face
Please, sir" he explained in an audible
voice, 1--WE handed them all round to ev-
erybody, and nobody won't take noner'-

Gold Beating,

The process of preparing gold until it is
reduced to thickness of 1880, 600 of an
inch is necessarily elaborate. The gold is
first cast into ingots inches in length and
inch in width, which weigh from 10 to / 7
ounces, according to thickness. 1t Is then
passed between polished rollers, worked
by steam, until it forms q ribbon 2S Yards
long and 1900 inch thick These ribbons
are then cut into $50 pieces, an inch square,
and placed between vellum, and then the
real business of the gold beater is begun.
He beats for half an hour with 90 pound
hammer, making the inch square into 8
inches square. Then these pieces are quar-
tered, becoming ~ inches square. He
beats again for ~ hours, until the ~
inch square becomes inches square The
inch pieces are again quartered and beat
en- and finally cut to proper size-viz.,
squares of 3-S inches, of thickness Tor
rather "thinness' } of 1880, 600 of an inch,
and in this shape the leaf Is lifted into
