essenbleEe is comparatively small, the
subjects under discussion are as varied
and of such world wide Importance
that the listener is at once impressed
with the Importance Of the occasion

There is an air Of digIAy in the ses-

be stormy, OF an excitable nature OF

No iron clad rule was established as

derstood that English would be pre-
ferred. This is contrary TO the usage
followed at most international gather
ings, French being the language OF
diplomacy and courtesy. But. as a
British delegate remarked, English Is
the language of business.
And SO it Is that the sessions Of this
great congress have been carried on in
the Saxon tongue. The Hindoo dele
gate has presented his ideas i'm that
language. the German envoy has told
his desires in English; the Fronchman
argued tariff changes in a tongue he

che German delegate from Samoa, who
could neither speak English nor Span

was not acquainted with all modern

many instances anything but enviable.
