do NOT MEET" DEWEY
AMBASSADORS STAND OUT FOR
FORM.
They Remain Away From the Mclean
Musicale Because of the Wording of
the Invitations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 81
We are having more trouble with the
ambassadors. Their sensitive souls
are afflicted by the Indifference of the
American people to the etiquette that
should govern their treatment of them.
Last week Mr. and Mrs. John r. Nc
Lean gave a musicale entertainment in
honor of their sister and new brother
fn-law, Admiral and Mrs. Dewey 1t
was one of the most sumptuous func-
tons ever given in Washington. A
bunch of famous singers was brought
over from the Metropolitan opera house
in New York and the Baltimore SYM
phony orchestra, which ranks next to
the Boston organization, completed the
program. Everybody of any account
was invited, and the toilets and Jewels
were superb. Lots of people came from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York.
Pittsburg and Cincinnati and other
places, and were well repaid for the
journey, The supper was luxurious.
and, in fact, all of the arrangements
were perfect, with one exception: The
five ambassadors received invitations
to meet Admiral and Mrs. Dewey"
Therefore they would not 60
An ambassador cannot inject" in a
social sense any person of inferior
rank He is the personal representa-
tive of his sovereign, and of course 1t
would be very rude to ask Queen Victo-
ria or the emperor of Germany or the
king of Italy Ito meet" Admiral Dew
ey and his bride. 1t would be perfect
ly proper to invite Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey Ito meet" the king of Italy, but
when the invitation is put the other
way 1t is grieVous offense to the dig
nifty of the superior person. If Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean had sent the ambassadors
and their wives straight invitations
without reference to meeting anybody
they would have attended the musicale
and enjoyed it as much as anybody
else; but as long as their cards bore
the names of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
they had to stay away.

CHANGED FIGURES OF AREA

BEEN SUPPOSED.
Thrums Annual Announces the New
Tabulation Based on the Latest Sur
veys-Other Contents

Thrum's Annual for 1900, the 26th is
cue of this publication has just been
issued.
In the statistical portion of the work
there have been numerous though not
particularly striking changes in the
figures of distances and areas. These
have been made possible by the more
neariy completed surveys which have
been going on since the last accepted
tabulations, those made for the Centen-
NAL Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876.
The most important of these are in
the areas of the Islands The area now
given for the eight principal islands of
the group is 6,449 square miles as
against $40 square miles in former
fluctuations. There are changes in this
respect as to all the islands except Ca
hu and Niihau. There have been reduc-
lions in all the others except Kahoo-
lave where there has been an increase
in the figures of area. The comparison
between the old figures of area and
| the new are as follows Hawaii. old
figures 4,210 square miles, new, 4.O15:
Maui, $50, 1928; Kauai $50 544: MoIo-
kai, go 26l; Lanai, $50, 1885, Kahoo-
lave, SO, SO.
There are too, some striking changes
in the figures of elevation. The high
est elevation of Hawaii is now given
as 1895 feet instead of 1906 as for
merry or MOlokai 1858 feet, instead OF
$500 as formerly; of Lanai, 9,40O, in
stead of 1900, and of Kahoolawe / ,42I
instead of 1,450 as formerly.
OF the matter aside from statistical
and strictly chronological matter there
/ is an account of the 1889 outbreak of
Mauna Loa by A. b. Ingalls,, A. B., Dr.

culture and conditions of the islands,
