After pointing out that this was no new set
tiement Mr. Choate remarked.

MIR. CHOATE'S REMARKS.

Mr. Choate on rising to respond. received an
ovation. The United States Ambassador began
jokingly protesting that he overwhelmed
with embarrassment at being called upon TO re-
spond in priority to the Lord Chief Justice. He
felt that when the British lion was about to
roar even the American eagle should hold Its
peace. He delighted he said to receive and
accept the invitation TO the banquet, although
he was not at liberty 10 discuss British COM
merce. His general instructions from his Gov
ernment were not TO discuss politics or only at
extraordinarily festal occasions. Gaughter)
After a few words on the subject Of commerce,
which he characterized as truly the "mainstay
OF the British Empire" he continued as follows;
Il have felt, however. that 1 might properly
avail myself of this first public occasion to ex-
press the appreciation OF my countrymen for the
forbearance goodwill and friendship manifested
to them so freely by the British people. 1t Is
true. gentlemen. that peace between the United
States and Great Britain Is the first interest not
only Of those two nations. but Of the whole
world"
In expressing his gratitude for the cordial
greeting he had received from all sorts and con-
ditions Of men since his arrival in England Mr..
Choate said
EVERYWHERE I have been treated friend
and as the representative of your friends and
brothers. In fact. I have actually discovered
the open door open to such an extent as would
satisfy even the yearnings of the Rear-Admral
who has made the circle of the globe in search
Of H. I think may say, as a testimony to the
good feeling sought to be encouraged on our
side Of the water. that the President gave the
best illustration Of il when he said. In my let
ter of credence. that he relied with confidence
upon my constant endeavor during my stay in
or,I

OF Miss Ross statements TO him at that
time. This testimony, coming out of
order, the defense refused to Cross exam
inc the doctor at that time but claimed

4 VALENTINE SALE AND SUPPER.

The valentine sale and supper held
under the auspices of the Young Peo-
ple's Society Of Christian Eodeavor in
the lower room Of the Congregational
church passed eff very pleasantly, last
Saturday afternoon and evening. The
room had been tastily fixed up for the
occasion by the ladies in charge and
throughout the afternoon and evening a
large number were in attendance, so
much SO that all of the valentines were
dis posed of and those who dropped in
late to supper had few of the deIicacles
that loaded down the tables at fret, and
the provisions were barely made TO
stretch out 10 the requirements. The
homemade cake and candies also found
q ready market. The sum of about $24
was netted and the young people and
their friends are to be congratulated on
the success attained.
