COMPLIMENT TO MIR. CHOATE.
English Newspapers Commend His
Speech of Last Night.

LONDON, March 16.-The afternoon
newspapers today contain complimentary
references to the speech delivered last night
by Joseph H. Choate, the United States am
bassador at the banquet of the Association
of the Chambers of Commerce of the United
Kingdom, which was held at the Metropole
Hotel.
The St. James Gazette says: THE main
fact emphasized in the tone as much as III
the words of Mr. Choate's speech and in
President McKinley's words, which he quot
ed, is that Brother Jonathan has become
conscious of his imperial destiny, that he
is going out to see the world, and that he
believes his best friend, companion and
guide in the new adventure will be found in
the mother country
The Westminster Gazette, pointing out
Mr. Choate's remark, Although we are
friends we shall not cease to be rivals -
says:
I'VE shall be all the better friends if this
warning is kept in mind. The real danger
of the situation is that its sentimental as
pect may be so strongly insisted upon that
when differences material points arise
there may be an inevitable reaction

Mr.. Sickles, ex-secretary of legation, is
