AMERICAN DENTISTS ABROAD.

The State Department has received from
its diplomatic officers at the European
capitals and from the minister at Homo
lulu, the quail ificat ions necessary for
American dentists to practice in those
countries.
In Austria Hungary there is only one So
called American dentist practicing, and
he received special permit from the
emperor, after renouncing his American
citiZenship and being naturalized in
Austria. His special imperial permit al
low ed him to employ two assistants with
out regard to their nationality. With this
exception, foreign dentists are particu
larly excluded from the empire, as no
foreign diplomas are accepted.
In Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
Hawaii, Russia, Switzerland, and Great
Britain, examinations must be passed in
those countries. Some years ago the
diplomas of Harvard and the University
OF Michigan were accepted in England,
but since 1898 no foreign diplomas have
been recognized. In Greece, after for
eign diplomas are authenticated by the
government, an additional examination
must be taken.
In the Netherlands only Belgian, German,
British, French, Austrian, and Swiss di-
plomas are recognized. In Portugal, the
candidate must be proficient in the Ian
guage of the country. In Russia, the ex-
aminations are rigid to an almost pro-
hibitive degree, and in Switzerland the
examinations are conducted in the French,
German, or italian tongues.
Swedish citizenship is the first requisite
under the law for the practice OF dentistry
in Sw eden. In Mexico, American diplomas
are freely recognized without restrictions.
In Rome, foreigners are permitted to
practice only arIong people of their own
nationality.
The reports indicate that the term
American, as applied to dentistry, popu-
larly signifies superiority, but the medi-
cal authorities of the various countries, as
a rule, AXE a different view of the mat
ter and most OF the official restrictions
are aimed directly at American competi-

who Abstracts Public Papers2

The Secretary of the Treasury on Tues
day sent an answer TO a Senate resolution
ofinquiry as to the whereabouts Of certain
papers relating to the accounts Of the
Pacific Railroads, that calls for some
attention. II Is remarkable answer and
a strange admission.
1t seems that on May 8, 1886, the sccre-
tary OF the Interior transmitted to the
keeping OF tie Treasury Department
financial statement relating to the sinking
fund Of the Pacific roads. Last Decem-
Der Senator Pettigrew introduced a Senate
resolution directing the Secretary OF the
Treasury to furnish the Senate with u
copy OF this particular paper. The answer
made by the Secretary of the Treasury is
that he cannot find the paper after the
most diligent search Of the Treasury files
in short, that it has been distracted
This is not the first time that such un-
lawful distractions of public papers have
been made in the Treasury Department.
One occurred in 1898, when the retire
ment OF Charles Foster took place. With
him certain papers relating to the conduct
OF the officers OF the government and the
lessces Of the seal islands of Alaska, to-
gether with their affidavi;s, Were mys-
terioUsly distracted, and cannot be found
Foster declares that they were taken
without his know wledge or consent.
Now, who has the power to enter the
Treasury flies and remove public letters
and papers without the kno wIedge and
consent OF the Secretary OF the Treasury?
Is it not time that this question was
answered, and If answered at all, that the
thief should he punished and opportunity
for such distractions be forever abolished?

The English Mission.

II, as political gossip seems to indi-
cate, the President elect has determined
to make Col John Hay ambassador to the
court OF st. James, his action will be
widely approved as a graceful recognition
OF literary merit, as well as of great per
sonal worth and accomplishments, com
bined with ability in diplomacy and state
craft of n high order.
As the successor at the English court
OF such men of letters as John Lothrop
Motley and James Russell Lowell, Col.
Hay VIII lose nothing by comparison with
them; while, like those departed great ones,
he is imbued with the simple, unostentatious
and straightforward Americanism that
should distinguish the representatives OF
this republic accredited to monarchical gov
ernments.
Equally in his literary achievements and
in his personality John Hay is intensely
American His verse is redolent OF ap-
probation Of, and sympathy with, the
plain people His Pegasus roams the
prairies OF the mighty West or swims the
Father of Waters To British society,
which idolizes the memory of Artemus
Ward, and adores Mark Twain, he Will
indeed be persona grata. We can picture
the rapt enthusiasm OF the royal circle
as he shall read from his immortal lyric,
Jim Bludso:"
"If ever the Prairie Belle took fire.
A thousand times he swore.
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank.
Till the last ga,oot's ashore"
Or from his equally famous song, the
Mystery of Gilgal:"
They piled the stiffs outside the door,
They made. reckon. a cord or more.
Gals went that winter. as rule.

In the poetry as well as in the individual

Coast Defenses.

The chambers OF commerce of New York

never before have seemed to trouble them
selves concerning the condition of our
Atlantic coast defenses, at last have shaken
off their lethargy, and will send delega-
uons to the convention which is to meet

purpose OF considering and discussing what
should be done TO protect the harbors
OF our South Atlantic and Gulf coast from
possible attack by an enemy.
People like the great merchants and
others who constitute the membership OF
the chambers OF commerce in our two
largest seaboard cities, are much more
completely in touch with the affairs and
the opinions OF the world at large than
are most other classes OF citizens. The
interest they are showing in the subject
at this time Justires the growing popular
opinion to the effect that the United
States is no longer az remote from Europe
and other places, politically and economic
ally, as it is geographically. Even in the
