The "sNew Diplomacy"

1t may be that the year 1898 will be
regarded in time to come as a red
letter year for America in diplomacy
as we'll as in war. In speech which
has also attracted much comment be-
cause of its supposed bearings upon
the relations between Great Britain
and France, the British ambassador
at Paris made some reference to what
he termed the new diplomacy" which
he said, has come into fashion during
the past year. The rise of this new
diplomacy, he said. was chiefly due to
the enterprise of the press, but was
also in = rnan@,-,-- = =. ,,...-'...-
Country iunOya,iCGs, and 10 the
Originality of the American mind,
ever restlessly watching to improve
everything. which will, perhaps, end
by improving the diplomatists of the
old school-off the face of the earth. -
y statement like this from a repre-
sentative of one of the veteran ma
tions in diplomacy furnishes an inter-
esting commentary upon the criticisms
sometimes passed upon the crudeness
of American diplomatic methods. 1t
comes with certain opportuneness
on the eve of the signing of the treaty
by which Spain, one OF the typical
representatives of the diplomacy of
the past, relinquishcs her mos; irn-
portant colonial possessions io :,
representatives ci y republic which
seems destined TO wieid an important
influence in the diplomacy OF the
future.

sPoor Old Missouri" Again.

As usual, Missouri is placed in the
attitude OF an apologist. Senator

Both Senators are counted against
the United States, just as they were
before on an important occasion. and
a familiar voice that seems TO pervaG.,

two little old United States Senators,

\ splendid show.

"UDcIe josh Spruceby" and his
company of thirty-five cO-workers
held the boards at the Broadway
Theater LIST night and were greeted
by only a medium sized audience.
The comedy as handled by Mr. Lewis
company of players abounds in com
ical situations, and in one instance at
least a striking scene of stage real
ism. The saw mill scene, complete in
all the details of a mill in operation,
was the most realistic and thrilling
ever seen on the local stage. The
tram work of Bowers and Benair was
clever. while the musket juggling OF
Major Mclaughlin was high class.
The Military Band and orchestra
under the direction OF Prof. George is
deserving of special mention, being
one of the best musical organizations
that has ever visited this city and the
several selections of the orchestra
were timely and particularly we'll rem
dered. The company left for South
ern points at midnight by special

Admiral Dewey never gets ratified.
He is cool and collected ut all times.
There j. no one who knows more thor
'ouehly the real situation in the Phil

forms the President. as he has done,
that he feels perfectly confident the
Filipinos under Aguinaldo will sub

unhesitating faith in his statement,
which is far more worthy of belief
than the wild statements telegraphed
from irresponsible sources.
The Malays are dOcile people un-

only possibility of trouble lies in the
fact that, to them, the rule of the
United States appears like an extcn-
sion of Spanish oppression under a
different master. When they find that

that the evils which compelled them to
rise against Spain will disappear un-
der American control, there will be no
trouble with them.
