THE STUDY OF DIPLOMACY.
Lecture by DR.. Hill Before Columbian
University Class.

University Class.
The opening lecture in the course of The
History of European Diplomacy, before
the School of Comparative Jurisprudence
and Diplomacy, Columbian University, was
delivered by DR.. David ]. Hill. assistant
secretary Of state. his subject being The
Study Of Diplomacy" After giving a brief
outline of the existing political system OF
Europe, consisting of group Of organized,
inter-related and sovereign states, Mr.. Hill
showed how there had gradually grown up
a body of recognized law based on the gen.
orally recognized natural, customary and
conventional rights of men and of nations
The word diplomacy DR.. Hill said,
suggests to the average mind the idea ot
trickery, craft and deception. But today
honesty and straightforwardness have be-
come qualities absolutely necessary to sue
cessful negotiation. The word was not used
until the latter part Of the eighteenth CEN
tury.
Dr. Hill stated that various attempts had
been made to establish schools of diplo-
macy Henry VIII being the first to do so.
but so far as he knew only two such schools
now exist, the Ecole Libre des Sciences Poll
tiques in Paris and the School of Compare
tive Jurisprudence and Diplomacy of Co
lumbian University. Whether seeking
diplomatic career or not the study of dipo-
macy is an important part Of a liberal edu-
cation and Is of interest to the journalist,
lawyer, legislator and turist, and. indeed, to
any man who would grasp and apprehend
the great movements of human history and
fit himself for becoming an enlightened ana
useful citizen of our great republic.
1t is not therefore, he said for the pur-
pose of producing professional dlplomatists
alone that diplomatic science and history
should be cultivated, but as means OF ma
tional education-the only solid basis upon
which wise and permanent foreign policies
can be built policies which must owe their
adoption and enforcement to the intelligent
consent of the whole people in whose in
tereSt they exist.
DR.. Hill will continue this course of leo
lures through the year, delivering one lee
ture week, Monday evenings at & o'clock.

ROBBERY At BRUNSWICK.
Dry Goods Firm the Victim of Burg
lars This Morning.

Dry Goods Firm the Victim of Burg
lars This Morning.
A dispatch has been received at police
headquarters giving information Of the
work of safe blowers at Brunswick, Nd
about 1 o'clock this morning. The safe In
Jones & Robinson's dry goods store on Po-
tomac street, it is stated, was blown open
and robbed of $500 in cash.
Members Of the firm notified the local po-
lice and gave the information that the
burglars were dressed in dark clothes.
Later in the day 1t was learned that a man
had been arrested near Brunswick on sus-
picion. The dry goods store of Jones Il
Robinson. which faces the tracks Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, is said to be
one of the largest business houses In the
railroad town. The noise Of the explosion
aroused people in the neighborhood of the
store, and. 1t Is stated, two men were seen
to leave the establishment.
An examination Of the premises showed
that an entrance had been effected by
shing the glass in the door. Mr.. Rob-
inson, one Of the members of the firm, was
Informed of what had occurred and soon
after he reached the building he sent tele-
grams to several cities notifying the police
of the affair.
1t is believed by the police here that the
job was done by the men who have been
operating in Maryland and Virginia during
recent weeks Only few nights ago Ellf-
colt City Md, was visited and two safes
were robbed.
