FORT WORTH, TEN, December g.
The opening Of the eighteenth annual ses-
sion Of the Farmers National Congress
occurred to-day. Act.ng-Mayor John Hen
derson welcomed the delegates. and was
responded to by Secretary John NJ Stahl,
OF Chicago. Governor Charles 4. Culber-
son addressed the congress. speaking
mainly on the wonderful agricultural
growth of Texas. it's relations to the other
Industries OF the country and the world
al large. President Hoard's annual ad-
dress then followed.
Senior Miguel Romero, representative
from Guatemala. addressed the congress
on the progress Of agriculture in his cOun-
try. He said the principal products were
coffee. cocoa, and sugar-cane.

Presidents Address.

The silver Jubilee Of the Union Of Amer
lcan-Hebrew Congregations is in progress
in this city.
The sixteenth biennial council convened
here yesterday morning, and will remain
in session until Friday.
There are delegates from l6O cons'esa-
tions. scattered between the two great
oceans. They come from North, South
East and West. men distinguished III
every walk Of life, and most eminent III
the ranks Of American JeYry. They rep
resent the brain and sinew OF this brea'
people. and constitute the pulse OF us
progress along certain lines.
The convention is being held in he hall
of the House Of Delegates, and a finer
body of men, or one more striking in ap-
pearance. has rarely gathered in that his
toric chamber. The proceedings yesterday
were vastly interesting. The welcome ex-
tended could scarcely have been more cor
dial or appreciation more pronounced. The
speech Of the Mayor was particularly
graceful. and it was announced that the
States Executive was only prevented by
sickness from being present to extend
greetings in the name of the Common
wealth. Mr.. julius Strauss voiced the
sentiments Of the Jews Of Richmond in Il
brief but well-turned address. and Mr..
Henry Hutzler, of the local Entertain
ment Committee unfolded plans that
were full Of promise Of bright hours IN
store.
The two striking features of the meet
ings Yesterday were the address cf Mr..
JuIius Freiberg, of Cincinnati. tne Iresi-
dent of the union, and the Grafton Of the
Hon. Simon Wolf, of Washington. The
achievements of the past quarter cf a
century-mOst remarkable 10 all except
those most nearly concerned In the work
formed the text for the greater part
of these speeches; they unfolded plans
for the future; urged the cooperation or
Jews everywhere. and contained some
wholesome criticism. Both were mastery
and scholarly TO a degree. and each was
received with approval bordering on en-
thusiasm. Much of the routine work was
disposed of. and the committees were
duly appointed, which will facilitate the
work before the body, and to these sepa-
rate organizations were referred many or
the resolutions introduced.
Richmond was exceptionally honoYed In
the election of Mr. Julius Strauss as tenn
porary and permanent chairman, and the
names Of many Richmond gentlemen also
appear in the list of committees.

THE NEW DIPLOMACY.
America's Part I'm Bringing IL About
Our Representntiycs Abroad.

PARIS. December 6-At the silver jubi-
lee banquet Of the British Chamber OF
Commerce here this evening the British
Ambassador, Sir Edmund j. Monson, re-
ferring to the new diplomacy" when
is said TO have come into fashion during
the past year. said It was chiefly due 20
the enterprise of the press. but also II
was in a measure due to "mother-counuy
innovations and to the originality OF the
American mind, ever restlessly watching
10 improve everything, and which WILL
perhaps, end by improving the diplo-
matists OF the old school over the iace
of the earth"
The Ambassador added: II am quite
ready to acknowledge that there is much
good in the particular innovation occupy
ing my mind at the present moment.
America has charitably sent TO England
the finest representatives of her intellec'
and culture, and / think We may attrl'
butte I'm no little degree the happy de-
yelopment of the friendly feeling between
Great Britain and the United States 10
the manner in which these representatives
performed their tasks, especially IN thelr
public utterances on both sides or th'
Atlantic.
AMERICAN ORATORY.
Il wish L pOSSesStu tue l"NuiNs W.
preston and the command OF approprlate te
language which distinguished Colonel hay,
the late Mr.. Bayar1, and their eminent
predecessors at the Court of ST. James.
Such oratorical gifts 1 have not, but l
feel the strongest desire TO say n few
words which may work toward the END
for which British ambassador Is sent
abroad. IL has not been without mucn
reflection and anxiety that decided TO
depart on this occasion from the tradl-
tional limits by which dlplomatist is
hampered."
Sir Edmund Monson then proceeded 10
remark upon the recent great outburst OF
feeling i'm Great Britain, provoked by the
Fashoda incident, and said he ventured
to express the hope that the idea OF
Great Britain's being unduly squeezable
and prone to make graceful but impolluc
concessions, is thoroughly exploded
PROTEST AGAINST PIN-PRICKS.
Sir Edmund Monson concluded as fol-
lows: IL would earnestly ask officials In
power and unofficial exponents of public
opinion to dlscountenance and abstain
from continuance of the policy of pin
prcks. which. while IT can only procure
an ephemeral satisfaction to a short-livet
ministry, must inevitably perpetuat'
across the Channel an intolerable irrita-
ton"
