DIPLOMATIC INDISCRETIoN.

America has long been criticized by
European nations for the garrulity and
tactless speechmaking of her diplomats
and other governmental representa-
tives. The difference of English states
men in this respect has been pointed
out as shining example to follow.
Yet when has any statesman ever
been guilty of a greater faux pas than
that made by Joseph Chamberlain in
the past week? Already unpopular
everywhere, outside of his own party,
his unwarranted remarks about a new
triple alliance" have made him hated
IN Spain, France, Russia, Italy and
other continental countries. Germany
and the United States, the two nations
with which he tried to win favor, are
no less backward in their criticism than
those countries more directly hostile to
England. In his own country he is Sc
verely criticised by Roseberry and the
party out of power, while in his own
party, Salisbury does not conceal his
vexation, and without positively deny
ing his subordinate's words, does all in
his power to minimize their Importance.
The most unguarded of American dip
lomats has no record equalling this.

Aims In Westminster Abbey.

One of the events of the London
week was the quaint and ancient cere-

maundy at Westminster Abbey on
Thursday. The custom was instituted
by Edward III. in 1868, and has sur
vived up to the present time. 1t con-

ing monarch is years old. This year it
is eighty. The Bishop of Ely officiat-
ed. A picturesque procession was
formed in the nave end passed into the
choir. The beadle of the Abbey bear
ing the mace, led the procession. Then
came four children Of the Chapel
Royal dressed in white, the children
of the Royal Almonry in scarlet and
gold, the choir singers, the clergymen
in black gowns, the canOns. and. final
", the Yeomen of the Guard in media

them carrying dish upon which We're

then the Lord High Almoner distribut-

and white streamers, containing sew
eral pounds, and purses containing as
many pennies as the Queen is years Of
age.--New York Tribune.
