The New York Times relates an anec-
dote concerning Mr. Howells that il
good enough to be true, whether it is
or not. According to report, a dispute
as to the words "lunch' and "lunch-
con- recently arose between MIR. and
Mrs. Howells. Mr.. Howells championed
"lunch" as the proper term, while his
wife defended luncheon. At last, at
Mr.. Howells suggestion, they appealed
to the Century Dictionary to settle the
question. "Well, l was right, after
air. he exclaimed in triumph, and he
read aloud the following extract quoted
as showing correct usage: 1--WE lunchcd

TO NEGOTIATE A TREATY.
s,.pected Mission of Herr Won
scbwartsenstein In Warrington

.@.H MfssiOn of Herr ""A
snI,yart.snstein In Washington.
washington, July 18.-The German
ombassador, Baron Won Holleben' pre-
ssnted to the president Herr Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, who has Just arrived
rom Germany and who is to act a. 40
interim ambassador during the temporary
absence of the ambassador in Germany:
The presentation took place in the req
parlor. ~.
Herr Won Schwartzenstein IS one OF
the uudersecretarics Of the German lot
eign office. 1t was he who negotiated
the reciprocity treaty with the Unlteo
STATES under the Mckinley tariff law,
and this fact has led to the belief that
his mission here is to reopen the rec
iprocay negotiations under the Dlngley
law. which have been suspended lot
months owing to the friction caused by
the exclusion of American meats from
the German markets.
The period during which these reel
procity treaties may be negotiated under
the Dingley law expires July "a. and the
time for the contamination of an agree
ment, therefore. is very brief. England
has negotiated four treaties under Its
provision. and the Franco-Amerlcan
agreement has just been consummated.
Baron Won Holleben leaves ut once for
New York whence he sails for Germany.
He will be absent several months.

Mr.. Nixon said he did not think tho cup was

He added that he was satisfied that no serious
harm had been done to the yacht by the exour-
sion boat Horton running into her. II any

Of the boat Sir Thomas said that the general
impression that because she had been built

Thomas said:
