Union Pacific Has Changed Some Of
Its Methods.

The Union Pacific has made some
radical changes in its signals, lights
etc. The semaphores have not all
been put in yet but those that arc in
place are not being used according to
the block system. They are merely
taking the place Of the old "ordsr
board" until the system Of semaphoEes
is completed.
Switch lights have been changed
and are great improvement over sAe
old ones. The colOrs are red and
green now. The green light as .
safety or caution signal is standard
and can be seen more distinctly and
can be distinguished more easily from
other lights than the old white light
The white lights are said to hsv'

NOTED MEN BANQUET
Annual Dinner of the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
SECRETARY HAY RESPONDS TO TOAST
Tells of the Aims and Successes
of Recent Diplomacy.
OTHER RESPONSES TO TOASTS

The one hundred and thirty-third annual
banquet of the chamber of commerce was
held at Delmonico's in New York last even
ing. The Associated Press report of the
event says: Covers for $50 were laid in
the main banquet room, which was simply,
though effectively decorated, chiefly with
American flags.
The speech-making was opened by
President Jesup in a very few words.
He then proposed a toast to the memory
Of William Mckinley. 1t was drunk with
ali standing and in silence. President
Roosevelt's health was then toasted, while
the orchestra played. and at the next toast.
that of King Edward of England. the Brit
ish national anthem was played.
In introducing Secretary Hay. President
Jesup proposed a toast to Our Diplo-
macy" The Secretary was warmly well
coined by the guests, and his speech at
various points met with great enthusiasm,
especially when he mentioned the name of
President Mckinley. The speech obtained
rapt attention, and the applause was deaf
ening when, in his peroration, he said:
mo wantonness of strength will ever in
duce us to drive a hard bargain with an
other nation because 1t is weak, nor will
any fear of ignoble criticism tempt us to
insult or defy great power because it is
strong or even because it is friendly"
Secretary Hays Speech.
After an eloquent tribute to the memory
Of President Mckinley, Mr.. Hay said:
II dare to come to you because you
have asked me. and he would have wished
1t, for he held that our personal feelings
should never be considered when they con-
flicted with a public duty. And IL 1 fall
immeasurably below the standard to which
he has accustomed you. the very compari-
sons you draw will be tribute to his men,
orv.
II am asked to say something about our
diplomacy. You want from me nothing
but the truth; and yet, If l confine myself
to the truth, l cannot help fearing l shall
do my profession a wrong in the minds
Of those who have been in the habit of
considering diplomacy an occult science,
as mysterious alchemy, and as danger
Gus to the morals municipal politics. 1t
must be admitted that this conception of
the diplomatic function is not without a
certain historical foundation.
There was time when diplomacy was
a science of intrigue and falsehood, Of
traps and mines and counter mines. 1t
may be another instance of that credulity
with which / have often been charged 10y
European critics when / say that l really
believe the world has moved onward In
diplomacy as In many other matters.
In my experience of diplomatic life,
which now covers more years than l like to
look back upon, and in the far greater rec
ord of American diplomacy, which I have
read and studied, l can say without hest
tation that we have generally told squarely
