Ten days ago the diplomatic repre-

agreed to by their several governments,
in relation To the difficulty between the
United States and Spain. President

the history of the country. IL was.
Furthermore II is to be hoped there
Will be no repetition. The suggestion
in the Spanish interest that the six
powers should unite in another joint
note TO the United States government
failed TO meet the appreciation Of Great
Britain. n was not cordially received

caused some urpriS at the SIX
diplomats having been allowed to com
together into the presence of the pres

The historic incident was narrated
by Hon. Frederick w. Seward in the
course of a lecture delivered by him in
November. 1882. in the American diplo-
macy course at Union college. Mr..
Seward Was assistant secretary OF
state during the whole eight years OF
his fathers service at the head of the
state department. and therefore had
personal official as well as family
knowledge of the facts. In 1861, early
in the war. IL was learned through tbs
departments channels Of information
that Great Britain and France had
come to an understanding On the sub
ject of the American war. and what
ever step might be taken would assume
the character of joint action. Secre-
tary Seward quickly made up his mind
what to do. fOn the mornig Of tbs

W. Seward. he soon after entered the
room and found the two ministers sit

ing his head. he said: No. no. no.
This will never do. | cannot So you
i'm that way" and when the ministers
rose To greet him and explained hat
they We're acting under Instructions

visit ne replied: NO. we must start

To this they had to agree. n the in
terviews We're held severally, not joint
ly. M the paper which they had
been instructed to jointly present and
formally read To him were left for his
Informal inspection. A very brief eN-
animation of them only was necessary
TO enable him to say courteously, but
with decision, that he declined To hear
them read or In receive official notice
Of them. Writing to the United States
ministers at London n Paris, he said:
w shall insist. i'm this case as I'm all
others. on dealing with each OF these
powers alone, and their agreement TO
act together viii not at all affect the
course We shall pursue. This govern
ment is sensible OF the importance OF

full work the acumen and insight OF a
heaven-born philosopher, and the pa

monk. He has done what others have
timidly attempted. but what probably
no one has ever before succeeded in ac-

even using names except when they are
so representative as practically to he

Photograph and Telephone.

From the New York Sun.
A mar who has just returned from a
Western trip said yesterday: while
I was in San Francisco | visited one Of
the telephone exchanges there to wit
ness a novel experiment of applying am
automatic monograph to a telephone
switchboard, to do the work of an OPP
orator. The result was satisfactory to
the telephone company. but it must
have been he~artbreaking To some of
the subscribers. This photograph was
so arranged that when a subscriber
called up a number hat was busy the
photograph answered, Busy now. Call
up later This was the invariable reply
whenever a busy numbe was called for,
and IL was given i'm a monotonous tone
of voice. ! admired the cleverness Of
the application until the manager said
10 me. You know, some of our sub
scribers are very profane. and perhaps
