The fair measure was not thought of again by anyone outside of St. Louis until after the war had closed, and the volunteer soldiery that had answered the. call to arms had again returned to the pursuits of peace.
 But the tireless Missouri congress- man had not forgotten it, and with the beginning of the recent session of congress he again sought the recogni- tion and financial support which he believed the Missouri city deserved to assist it in carrying out the laudable ambition of celebrating one of the most important incidents in the his tory of the country-and by keeping everlastingly at it. he got what he

It is evident that the administration ports of the situa ton in Cuba, sent to Washington by General Wood and other administration agents, which diff fer so radically from reports sent by competent and reputable correspond ents of American newspapers. In order to get another view of the Cuban situation MT Mckinley has sent Sen ator Proctor as his personal and con- f1dential representative to see what he can find out about the intentions of the Cubans. That Senator Proctor's trip was made unexpectedly by him was shown by the fact that he had called a meeting of the sub b-committee of the senate military committee, O. which he is chairman, charged with the duty of Investigating the alleged connection of Lieutenant Colonel Heis tand and q number of prominent war department officials With the Philip pine hemp scandal, for this week, and that he left Washington without noti- flying the other members of the con- mittee of his change of plans.

 During the past winter he has made his home in Washington, and while there made friends in the same way he had made them at home. His perfect courtesy and broad culture i'm presses everyone with whom he comes in contact, and he is sure to create goodimpressionin in the capital to which he is accredited. His peculiar train ing gives him peculiar fitness for an important place in the diploma tic service, and his wealth makes the maintenance of the position possible, which is not always the case with a poorer man, for the salary of Ameri- can diplomatic representative is not always munificent one, or in any wa y in keeping with the social position which they must maintain.
 He is known to students almost the world over as a bibliophile. and is the possessor Of a collection of books that has but few equals among the private libraries of either this country or Eu- rope.

charming a lady as graces Washing ton society functions, but there is one little incident in the life of the Mex jean minister that causes the present unpleasantness in the relations of him and his family with the diplomats rep resenting certain European nations at Washington.
 Senor AZpiros was. at the time of the MaXimilian reign in Mexico, judge advocate of the Mexican army that de- feated the Austrian pretender. After the capture of MaXimilian it became the duty of the present Mexican min- ister at Washington to try him. It was at this trial that the pretender was convicted and sentenced to be shot; the sentence being carried out at Queretaro.
 Austria never forgave Mexico for that deed, and the Austrian repre- sentative at Washington but follows in the lead of his government when he refuses to associate with the Mexican minister in social way. It was, how ever, Mime. Hengelmuller, wife of the Austrian minister, who started the trouble, and she brought to her as- sistance not only her husband, but Countess de Lichtervelde, wife of the Belgium minister and her husband as well. They willingly lent their assist ance because the wife of Maximilian was a Belgium princess.
 The attempt has, however, resulted disastrously for those who originated it, and Senor Azpiros and his wife are the social heroes of the hour in Wash ington.

Rublee served in the consular service as consul gem eral at Prague, and again, like his predecessor at Hong-kong, the re- ports he made to the government at Washington displayed the clear, con- else style of his own pen. In fact, it was his management of the Prague consulate that was his chief recom- mendation to the state department for the appointment at Hong Kong.

Speaking of the canal treaty, which Is causing so much uneasiness on the other side of the water, an exchange says: If there were not strongly pro-British administration at Washing ton, Enslands rejection of the treaty would put a stop to further negotia-
 tieHs and this country would proceed forthwith to build the interocean wa
 terway regardless of what England might think or say about it. But Me Kinley and his Pro-British advisers
 will never adopt this course. They will continue to dicker with England and so give English diplomacy chance to win a victory. Already it is hinted that the British government may be conciliated by a free gift of q part of the national territory in Alaska, in consideration of England giving her permission to the abroga- ton of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty, which James c. Blaine long ago de- clared to have lapsed in consequence OI LnSlduO StiLllASs anu tNA

The London Daily News thus formulates this hope in its comments on the rejection of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty: ''The question can be treated by itself or as a part of some larger scheme for the settlement of all out standing differences" Another Eng fish newspaper, the London Daily Mail, is still more outspoken: Obvious ly," 1t says, Eve could not allow this fxeaty to be torn up without feceiv- snk -conpaniatiou. fnsthis way we S1 S1.r tqla that 1t is England's sHtention sfo biadl6nail us IT shescpn.
