COUNSEL MODERATION.

British do Not Endorse the Language
Used by Canadian Statesmen.
LONDON, July 25.-Commenting upon
the debate in the Canadian parliament
on Saturday, regarding the Alaskan
boundary question, the st. James Ga
Eette says: -->s.sssAaiasa.-~ >s.sAisa.-
"The brisk air of the United States
and Canada is conducive to strong
words, which would never pass the lips
of an European statesman until an order
to mobilize was on the point of issuing.
Nobody thinks Of war in connection
with the Canadian-American dispute
Yet, since it is we who will have te
tght, if Canada makes a quarrel, we
must plead with one of our fellow sub
jects to use quieter style. If Si1
Charfas Tnpper's words mean anything
he desires the presentation of an ulti
matum, which could only mean war
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, though calmer, is
also tolerably emphatic. AS things arg
going now, we are drifting to very
serious diplomatic collision with the
United States, which Great Britain ii

Strange Feats of Eye and Hand.

Strange Feats of Eye and Hand.
An expert who prided himself upon
the smallness Of his writing sent the
president of the French academy a
grain of wheat on which he had writ
ten 221 words. A Polish poet wrote
all of Homer's "Iliad' on piece Of
paper which could be rolled up small
enough to go into nutshell.
In the sixteenth century aman named
Mark offered to Queen Elizabeth gold
chain of so links. The chain was so
fine it could not be seen unless it was
put on sheet of white paper. To
prove it's lightness Mark tied tito fly,
which flew away with it. The most
curious fact in this matter, which re-
quired so extraordinary facility Of
touch for making this ornament, was
that Mark was blacksmith, accus-
toned to all kinds Of heavy tools all
day long.
IA Spaniard, Joseph Faba, made a
carriage as large as grain Of wheat.
Under magnifying glass it was pos
sible to see the interior fitted up with
seats, every detail being carried out to

sor Goldwin Smith, after reading Pre-
mier Laurier's speech upon the Alaskan
boundary dispute, said:
81 am surprised and sorry Sir Wilfrid
Laurier should have even alluded to the
possibility of war over the Alaskan
boundary question. 1t would be dis
grace to craftsmanship if it were possi-
BILE that war should break out between
Great Britain and the United States
about such matter.
''The question is not pressing. All
that is immediately wanted is some
joint arrangement for the preservation
of order in the disputed territory. After
a little reflection and when everybody
has had time to cool, means will be
found for settlement of the question
in an amicable way.
81 have thought from the beginning
that it would have been better if the
Alaskan boundary question had not
been mixed up with other questions,
such as the reciprocity question, with
which it had nothing to do. Let the

apart, and let conference on commercial
reciprocity proceed. The two things,

New York Attorney Accepts Al

Cabinet.
Will Probably Visit the President
During His Adirondack
Trip.
The Selection of Mr.. Root Said to
Be Highly Pleasing to Mr..
Alger.

WASHINGTON, July "a. -Elihu Root,
of New York, has accepted the war
portfolio, in President McKinley's cab
met. The telegram of acceptance was
received shortly after noon while Secre-
tary Long was with the president. Sec
retary Alger had just left. The tender
of the war portfolio was made to Mr..
Root Friday night, after the conference
will leave for the Adirondacks Wednes-
day or Thursday, it is thought to be
hardly probable that Mr.. Root will
come to Washington to confer with him
before that time. 1t is regarded as more
likely that Mr.. Root will meet the pres
ident at Lake Champlain the latter
part of the week.
Alger Is Pleased.
Secretary Alger had confidently ex-
pected the appointment OF Mr.. Root and
was very much pleased at the presi-
dents choice. This was evidenced in
the following letter which Secretary
Alger addressed to his successor pre-
vious to the announcement:
"All know is what the newspapers
say, that you are to succeed me as Sec
retary of war. Should it come to you
I urgently urge you to make the sacri-
fee and accept the position. With your
knowledge of law and excellent health,
you can serve the country in a way
given to few men,"
Elihu Root was born Feb. Is, 1916, at
Clinton, Oneida county, New York. He
graduated from Hamilton college in the
class of '64 and entered the New York
university law school. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1867, since which time
he has been in the active practice of his
profession in this city. He was United
States attorney for the southern district
of New York from March, 1883, to July
1885. He was vice president of the AS
sociation of the Bar of the City Of New
York for number of years; vice presi-
dent of the New York Grant Monu.
ment Association; at one time president
of the Republican club, and the present
president of the Union League club.
He has been trustee of Hamilton col
slege since 1885, and has served as presi-
dent of the New England society in the
City of New York. He was one Of the
most prominent members of the last
New York state constitutional conven-
tion, where he served AS chairman Of
the judiciary committee.
