A Tr,puts to Am passador Hay.

The following graceful tribute TO Mr..
Hay, late A Ambassador TO London, is
paid by the London Spectator: "Mr.
Hay, the American Ambassador, has
been appointed Secretary OF State to
President Mckinley. We cannot pro-
fess to view his departure With any
thing but unfeigned regret. Mr.. Hay
has proved az ideal Ambassador. Hs
has not only never said, but has never
done, a foolish thing since hu has been
at the United States Embassy. Tact
and good sense, dignity and good tenn
per, seem to be Ills In equal proper
tions. and over all, the saving grace of
humor-the diplomatist's last hest gift.
An American Ambassador is always
sure to he well received hare--that ia
no nav story, witness Mr.. Lowell, Mr..
Phelps, Mr.. Bnyard, TO name only
three--but Mr.. liay has won some
thing more than mere liking and re
spect. Still, though we greatly regret
that so interesting ami 40 Rble n figure
should be Withdrawn from our public
life-tho people Of the United States
must forgive the temporary annexation
Of their Ambassador which always
takes place-we cannot at the sumo
time but he glad that the great post OF
Secretary of State--i. e., of Foreign
Affairs -should have fallen to Mr..
Hay. He is the very man for the most.
70 begin with, he was reared In tht
host American traditions under Chic
Magistrate who was not only one Of tn,
greatest of English. speaking staten.
men, but Of all statesmen. Next, hi
diplomatic career has made him cogni
zant Of the European situation as th,
inner ring of diplomatists know 1t
LASTLY. he is n man OF real strength anr
Independence Of character. To put tn,
matter shortly, nothing but his ap
pointment to tho office of Secretary O.
State could have reconoiled US to hi
removal from London. There is mucI
dehate as to who ia to succeed MIR
Hay. The ruinors as to Mr.. Chaunce,
Depew are, OF course, not serious. Mr.
Choate would be an excellent appoint
ment."
