tine inaugural parade, and has been a
part OF nearly all the ceremonies con-
nected with the introducing OF President
Mckinley to the White House. General
Porter is perhaps the finest looking man
of the new administration. He stands
fully six feet in his stockings, and he is
as erect today as he was thirtyseyen
years ago when he graduated from
West Point one Of the highest men in
his class. He is broad shouldered and

HORACE PORTER AND GENERAL GRANT.
Some of Horace Por,er's experiences
with General Grant will stand him in
good stead at the court OF PARIS. Every
one knows that he was with Grant dur
ing the war, but few appreciate that he
was to a large extent the confidential
adviser Of Grant while he was President
OF III United States. Grant did not at
first take TO the idea Of being President.
When bis name was proposed by his
friends he hung back, and when he went
into the White House he felt afraid Of
the change OF life and duties. As soon
as he was elected, however, he sent for
General Porter and told him that he
must come with him into the White
House, and that he needed his asst lance.
''In what capacity" said General
Porter.

OF things" replied President Grant,

him often as to railroad matters during
the war. and he once offered TO make
Mr.. Stone brigadier general II he
would accept such an appointment. Mr..
Stone, however, thought he was better
fitted for business than for soldering,
and he preferred to do his work for the
Union in more quiet way. He was
often called to the White House and ii
was probably through his visits there
that John Hay became acquainted with
him and his daughter. At any rate, Mr..
Hay married Miss Stone, and at her
fathers death he became one of the
executors OF his great estate. AS such
he has had 10 deal with some OF the
largest business interests Of the country.
lie has had to learn how such things are
managed and today he is on this account
the more fitted to go abroad as the
representative OF this business admins
tratlon.
JOHN HAY AS A DIPLOMAT.
There is no doubt but that John Hay
will make a good ambassador 10 Eng
land. He had the advantage Of Presi-
dent Lincoln's tutoTsnip while he was
private secretary in the White House,
and Lincoln, it IS now generally conced.
ed, was one OF the greatest diplomats
this country has produced. As an illus.
tration OF his diplomacy / heard
the other day of a lesson which he IS
said 10 have given Colonel Hay when
he was private secretary at the White
House. A public man had acted rather
Extensively toward The President, and
John Hay, so the story goes, told the
President that he expected 10 write a
letter, giving him piece OF his mind.
That's right" said President Lincoln.
DO so, give it TO him; write out just
what you think" John Hay did SO, and
he brought in the letter to the President,
and read it to him. As he read MIR.
Lincoln from time TO time said: Cool !
| goo-l That fixes him." At its close Mr.
| Hay said: well, he will get the letter
tomorrow morning, and we will see what
lie has to say in reply" But" returned
! President Lincoln, you don't intend to
mail that letter! wanted you to write
1t out because it helps one to ease his
feelings, but you must not think OF send
ing it, You would only make the man
mad without doing good to yourself or
J the administration" The result was
| the letter was never sent.
/ This incident, il true, must have &C.
! cured more than generation ago, and
John Hay has since shown himself to be
one of the shrewdest diplomatists of
this country. He began his diplomatic
career upon leaving the White House,
being first sent to Paris. Here he kept
Secretary Seward informed OF the
schemes OF Macmillan and Carlotta,

he left the White House, away back in
1865, has been largely made up Of dip.
lomatic work.
COLONEL HAY AS a LITERARY MAN.
John Hay will have the advantage OF a
good literary reputation abroad. Our
literary men have been our best
diplomats Washington Irving was an
eihcleni minister to Spain, Bayard Taylor
was one oil our best ministers to Berlin.
and the man who served with perhaps
the greatest reputation IN En- gland was
Jane; Russell Lowell. Colonel Hay
during his stay in Spain wrote his book
entitled "Cas,ilian Days" THIS ranks
up well with the best books OF travel.
He brought the manuscript home with
him in his valise, and arrived here just
at the time when Bret Harte had made
himself famous by writing his "Heathen
Chinee' and other poems. Colonel Hay
wrote and published a number of the
same KIND OF poems, the most of which
are far better than Bret Hsrles, He
entitled them the Pike County Ballads"
and among them were the famous poems
OF Little Breaches" "Jim Bludsoe"
and Others. They took well, and before
he knew it he was famous as dialect

ing better work. He can, however,
write poems of a hieh order. At the
Christian Eudeavor meeting here at
Washington not long ago he wrote the
Invocation HYMN. He is an earnest
Christian, and the reading OF this hymn
may give you some idea OF his character:

To this General Porter assented, and
became a sort OF confidential adviser to
General Grant He WAS not a private
secretary nor secretary - the President,
but he was associated with him in many
important mat els OF his administration.
He had great deal TO do with the fish
cries commits ion of Grants first term
and also with the settlement Of the Ala
bama claims, by which we got from
Great Britain sI5, 500, ooo.
HE SPEAKS FRENCH.
In this work General Porter was able
10 be of the more advantage to General
Grant on account Of his thorough knowl-
edge OF the French language. He is a
natural lingust and he can speak French
and Spanish quite as fluently as English
He can make an alter dinner speech III
French, and he is noted as being one OF
the best after. dinner speakers OF the
United States, being ranked by many
higher in this regard than Chauncey
Depew, He is also a man Of literary
note. He has the degree OF l.. l.. ID ,
and has written a number OF books.
This fact will add to his standing at
Paris, for the French have high respect
for literary characters. His position as
an army officer will also help him, and

lust one word about Gen. Porter,s
family. You can tell a good deal about
a man from his ancestors. Horace
Porter has no reason to be ashamed Of
his. His genealogical tree is big one.
One OF its roots is found in John Porter,
who won his spurs as a soldier at the
battle oil Warwick under William the
Conqueror. The first Porter OF this
branch who came 10 this country was
an lrshman. His name was Robert,
and he had enough money to be able to
buy some land in Pennsylvania shortly
after he landed. This man was the
great grandfather OF our new ambassa-
dor. His son was Andrew Porter one
OF the most distinguished characters OF
the revolution. Andrew Porter was a
teacher OF mathematics in Philadelphia
in I776. Congress made HIM the cap.

frigates, but he soon lett tine navy for
the army. Before the revolutionary war
was over he had risen to be colonel.
AT its close he retired TO his farm, refus.
ing proiessorship in the University OF
Pennsy lvania, because, as he said, It
did not look well for one who had been
commanding men to come down to fog
cling boys. This man, you know, was
Horace Porter's grandfather. He after
ward became brigadier general and he
refused the place OF Secretary OF War
in President Monroe's cabinet. He was
thrifty man, and thrift seems to be one
OF the attributes oil the Potters. This
was the case with Gen. Porer's father,
whose name was David X ttenhouse
Porter, and who was the hrst man to
put up anthracite furnaces at Harrisburg,
and the first to engage in the manulaC-
ture of steel in this country.

jTt5iiii.i u WANT to tell you something
about our two leading am
EHs bassadors. Colonel John
EB5i nm: Hay is to be ambassador to
IH;IISf III Great Britain, and General
IEEtHsslSts Horace Porter is to be our
IHfAV$$y5 ambassador to France. The

sailors came into the Senate

M % side by side with Presidents
H. 20 Cleveland and Mckinley
when Vice President Hobart was sworn
10. It will be the same way at London
and Paris. Ambassadors Hay and
Porter will take precedence OF the min
listers from other countries, and they Will,
in fact, command as much respect as
though President Mckinley himself was
in their places. They go abroad as the
representatives of the President himself,
and they can confer directly with Queen
Victoria or President Faure. The
English and French secretaries OF state
will make the first calls upon them. and
their influence will be such that they can
do much for our country. | understand
that they both go abroad with the inten-
ton of accomplishing more than our
ministers have in the past. They realize
that this is business administration,
and they intend TO do everything they
can to push American business to the
front. Both Hay and Porter are practical
business men. They are both Of
sngularly diplomatic turn, and both
have had lives which fiji them for the
places which they are now about to fill.
