ENGLAND AUTOCRATIC.
Inclined to Dictate the Choice of a
New Ambassador.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-The question Of
Ambassador Hays successor is one of
the greatest concern to the British
foreign office and the whole European
diplomatic world. The danger which
the British government fears, and
which those opposed to American in
terests secretly hope viii befall, is the
appointment OF a man who Is not &C.
quainted with the intricate problems
which are now in their most acute
phase.
The change in the ambassadorship is
peculiarly unfortunate at the present
moment. 1t is, perhaps, not presunp-
tuous to point out one solution of the
dilemma which would meet the ap-
prevail of diplomatists who are friend
ly to the United States. This is, in
stead of sending q new man, no mat
ter how distinguished he may be, to
intrust American interests for the re-
mainder of Mr.. Hays term to Mr.
Henry White, who is now secretary Of
the embassy
Mr.. White has been as familiar with
the situation and as active in dealing
with it as Mr.. Hay himself. More
over, he would be better able to ex-
ecute Mr.. Hays policy, still under Mr..
Hays direction as secretary of state
than a new man.
1t should be said plainly that the two
candidates most freely mentioned In
the cable dispatches fail to command
the respect and confidence of London
diplomatic circles which the American
ambassador should enjoy.

Epistles to St. Paul.

Speaking about actresses with children, {"
remarked Matt Berry. VINO is to put on CUBA"
during fair week, reminds me of the oldest
play that I ever saw. I think it was Leslie
j. Carters play. but I've forgotten the name
of it. In the first act the heroine was blown
up in cyclone, in the second act she is in
a shipwreck and the curtain comes in just as
she is about to fall eff raft. In the third
act she falls onto the Chicago river and
breaks leg, and in the last act she is dis
covered in a blooming garden with no less
than two lovely children. What bothered me
was how she ever had time to raise a family
while she was engaged in ducking the catas-
trophies that followed her in the first three
acts"
There is a preacher in this town who doubts
the result OF casting bread upon the waters
A young man went to him a couple of weeks
ago and told him that he was in love with a
charming young woman, and that they wanted
to get married, but he was afraid that in his
impoverished condition it would not do. The
preacher made a good fellow of himself and
told the young man that if he loved the girl
and she loved him he ought not to consider
poverty, but go and get married; that the
future would take care of ITSELF
Two days later the young fellow presented
himself at the house of the preacher with a
marriage license and a girl and asked to be
married. The clergyman gave them a CAD
hand and took them in and married them.
The groom babe the preacher goodbye at the
door and told him that when the future had
panned out in promises he would Iiouida alto.
And now The person inclines to the idea tha.
1t Is not the real thing to help along the
marriage idea when the impecuniosity of the
groom goes to the extent of being shy of the
marriage fee.

The letter from IA Red Cross Mem
ber." calling for subscriptions to pay
the mortgage on the st. Paul armory
which was published yesterday in the

tention and much favorable comment.
The suggestion Is regarded as an ex-

needed to make the idea reality.

and Gen. Bend gave 1t his unqualified
endorsement.

III would be a splendid thing If the
crt1zens OF this city paid off that mort
gage. 1t would be the most practical
city to manifest it's appreciation of the
bravery of the st. Paul soldiers. 1t
would give them a home Of their own
and they would feel that the city Of
their birth was grateful for their serv-
ices.
Chicago will raise the mortgage on
the armory Of the First regiment in
that city, and st. Paul can well afford
to DO as graceful an act for her men.

"st. Paul ought to have a better
armory than the present one. 1t was
a good one in it's day, but that was past
several years ago. The armory should
be built of stone and should be so con-
structed that no force without artil-
lery could storm 1t. The suggestion to
buy the Ramsey lot next to the pres
ent building and erect a new armory
there, is excellent. The cost would be
within the means of the people Of
this city, and it would be a good in
vestment: An arnory should be so de-
signed that a force of very few men
could hold 1t against an attack by thou
sands. The present armory could be
broken into at any time, and every
thing inside could be carried out be-
fore any one could interfere.

A Common Sense plea.

The men who volunteered to serve
tLeir country, on the call Of the presi-
dent, last April, represented, in their
ments of citizenship. None more than
themselves, and the constituencies from
which they were drawn, can fully ap-
preciate the sacrifice involved In every
individual case. The war Is practically
ended. There is no more fighting to
be done. The volunteers went out to
fight They are, in their respective
lines of occupation, business men. They
enlisted for a service, defined, CT course,
by a maximum term Of years; but they
expected, as they had a right to do,
when the necessity for active duty in
the field no longer existed that they
would be mustered out and permitted
to return as promptly as possible to
their several lines Of occupation.
While the regular army of the Unit
ed States is not large, the volunteer
element has a right to be heard in any
request they may make as to their dis
handment when the dangers of war are
at an end. 1t is not only senseless, but
ment, to regard every expression made
by the citizen soldiery OF the republic
as mutinous.
The G o b e prints this morning a
sensible letter, written by a private Of
the Fourteenth regiment The views
are those of a patriotic citizen, who.
responding to his countrys call, recog-
nizes the patent fact that, the time hav-
ing arrived when the volunteer soldier
has no service to perform, except that
of police duty. which can be appro-
priately assumed by the men of the
regular army, it Is time for
himself and his associates to return to
peaceful pursuits.

Herman Sudermanns 'tMagda which

the intensity of Nordau study 1t is an odd
play. 1t Is most intensely interesting. It is
seldom that a stage story takes the hold
on listener that this plain tale of German
life does. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
the interest Of the spectator is breathless.
The story of the play is so strong and is
so well told in the book that 1t would quite
captivate the imagination if there were no
actors to be considered. 1t tells the story
OF girl taken out Of the environment of n
provincial German town; her grand soul is
given chance to develop away from the
purely artificial surroundings of her early
life she returns with life story concealed
to face the reproaches of a father who sees
nothing beyond his small circle. Her fliaI
love forces her to tell her story, and her
father proposes to revenge himself on the
man who dishonored her. It is the intense
development Of her nature that makes the
story of the play.
Miss Truax plays the title role. Alone and
almost unaided she makes great perform
ance of the play. As the many faces of her
genius are unfolded Miss Tfuax becomes the

WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-The war
department Is to inaugurate a policy
Of physical. examination Of soldiers,
both in thssvolunteer and regular army
service when the troops are ddsbanded.
A record Sf the physical condition of
every man in the army will be kept
upon file hi the department for future
reference This, idea will be of great
value in the determination Of pension
cases, which may arise in the future.
1t will not only preclude the perpetra-
ton of fraud upon the pension bureau
but will greatly facilitate the work of
the bureau in che future, and the hunt
ing up of 5oldp records and other re-
ouisites to- securing a pension will be
obviated. In future years when a man
applies for, pension for injuries re-
oeived in battle or from debilitation as
the resultsof disease contracted in Gu
ba OR in Camp, it will be a compare
lively easy task to hunt up his record
and ascertain not only the condition
in which he entered the service. but
the state of physique in which he quit
ted the army. President Mckinley is
impressed with the idea and has given
It his sanction.

M. Calnlbon was destined to perform
put that Premier Sagasta energetical-
ly declined and directed the Spanish
ambassador at Paris to urge M. Del
casse to charge Ambassador Cambon
with the task. But even then, accord
ing to the Matin. English diplomacy
did not lose heart. The British am
bassador at Washington approached
President Mckinley who at first wish
ed the peace commission to meet in
Washington. Spain then Insisted on a
neutral capital and Sir Julian Paunce-
tote proposed London, and insisted so
hard that he nearly succeeded in get
ting his wish, but the president final
ly decided on Paris, wishing thus to
give the French republic striking proof
of his recognition of the tact with
which the negotiations had been con-
Quoted by M. Cambon.
But all Frenchmen do not take this
view Of the matter. Thus the leading
article in the Echo de Paris regrets
that M. Canlbon's name is at the end
of the protocol which debases a ma
ton friendly to France. The writer
of the article then becomes anxious
for the future, and declares this is but
the prologue of a drama to be acted a
few years hence between Europe and
the United States, now developed into
warlike country.
There is not unanirnity, however, in
the hue and cry against Great Britain.
One of the editorials in Rappel advises
M. Delca sse to cultivate the friendship
of England. But the tone of the
French press unquestionably Is still
that the Spanish-American protocol is
not only q triumph of French diplo-
macy, but a success gained at the eX-
pense of England. Secretary Day and
Mr. Hay doubtless are aware of this,
and will be on their guard when the
peace commission meets here.
