Provocative Words of Sir Edmund J. Monson at British Chamber . of Commerce Banquet in
 Paris.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-At the silver jubilee banquet of the British Chamber of Commerce here this evening. the Elm bassador, Sir Edmund J. Monson, re- ferring to the new diplomacy" which is said to have come into fashion dur ing the past year. said it was chiefly due to the enterprise of the press, but also 1t was in a measure due to mother country innovations and to the origin ality of the American mind-ever rest lessly watching to improve everything which would perhaps end by wiping the diplomats of the old school off the face of the earth.
 Sir Edmund Monson then proceeded to dilate on the recent remarkable out burst of public feeling in Great Britain, provoked by the Fashoda incident, and said he ventured to express the hope that the idea of Great Britain being un- duly squeezable and prone to make graceful but impolitic concessions was thoroughly exploded.
 He appealed to France to disabuSe herself of all suspicion of unfair inten- tion upon the part of Great Britain; to try to believe there was no general animosity in England toward France, and to meet England on every QueS- llOH at Issue WllE- dIl llOuSSl utSlIG lOT an equitable arrangement. He con- cluded as follows:
 II would earnestly ask officials in power and unofficial opponents of pub lie opinion to discountenance and ab- stain from a continuance of the policy of pin-pricks, which, while it can only procure an ephemeral satisfaction to a short-lived Ministry, must inevitably perpetuate across the channel an in- tolerable irritation.
 'I would entreat them to resist the temptation to thwart British enter prise by petty maneuvers such as the proposal to start colleges as rivals of General Kitchener's objected institu- tion in the reconquered Soudan Such ill-considered provocation might have the effect of converting Great Britain's s policy of forbearance in Egypt into the adoption of measures at which I pre- sume French sentiment is not aiming" I"
 LONDON. Dec. Sir Edmund Mon sons remarkable speech in Paris last evening has created sensation here Most of the newspapers regard 1t as an unfortunate indiscretion, pointing out that the American Ambassadors he referred to, despite their leanings to the new diplomacy, would never have addressed such a warning to Great Britain,
 There is little doubt that the speech will be deeply resented in France, especially as 1t was evidently carefully prepared and was read in the delivery

WILL NOT BE REBUILT.

There is a general belief among those who take an interest in the matter that new theater will be constructed to take the place of the Baldwin, either on the old site or elsewhere. J. J. Gottiob Is authority for the declaration that there is no new theater coming.
 I am sorry to have to deny these ru- mors,' said MT. Gottlob. last evening. but you can say for me that all these of new theater are in the alr.'
 MT. Baldwin has assured me that in the event he rebuilds the Baldwin Hotel embodied in 1t and there Is no one else looking for such an investment. Of course if one of the old houses should be de- stroyed there would be field for new before the people of San Francisco will secure new and first-class playhouse.
