1t is said that the only time James
G. Blaine was nonplussed was while he
was secretary of state, says the New
York Saturday Post. One of the APP
plicants for consulate in Japan was
the late Samuel Kimberly of Balti-
more, who died in the service in Cen
trail America. After he had presented
credentials, Mr.. Blaine said:
Il should like to appoint you, Mr..
Kimberly, but have made it rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language of the country to
which he is sent. Do you speak jap
anese?"
Certainly, Mr.. B-Blaine," stammer-
ed Mr.. Kimberly. "A-a-ask me
s-s-something in J-J-Japanese and Ilf
a-a-a-nswer you"
Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say, but
the Japanese post went to another
man, all the same, and Kimberly went
to Central America
Another story is told Of Kimberly
equally creditable to his nimbIe wit.
One day he met young woman who
threw her arms impulsively around his
neck and kissed him. Seeing her mis-
take, she drew back and angrily asked:
Aren't you Mr.. Jones?"
"N-n-no, madam" replied Kimberly

Carnegie Talks

Washington, Jan. 11.-Mr. An
drew Carnegie was an interested
listener to Senator MasOn's speech.
He expressed the opinion that the
ratification of the peace treaty
might be defeated and said that it
certainly would be if Mr. Bryan
would come out in opposition to
it. If he will only advise his
followers to fight in the pass and
not in the open,'' he said, the
treaty is certain of defeat. All
that l hear indicates the increase
of the opposition ranks, and l am
quite encouraged to believe the
ratification of the treaty can be de-
feated.
According to my opinion this is
the opportune time for those who
oppose expansion to do their work
Only one third vote is required to
defeat the treaty, whereas with the
treaty ratified, we will have to
secure a majority to make our
views effective. Hence, / say that
this is the time for Mr.. Bryan and
other anti-expansionists to make
their fight. Hereafter we will not
enjoy the advantage over our op-
pOnents that we do now, having
them to meet in the open field.n
