Washington Dec. 2L-Lloyd c. Griscom United

mote him to the rank of Ambassador, and that he
has determined not wait until the Japanese gov
eminent raises its representative in Washington to
that rank and so makes possible the sending Of an
Ambassador to Toxic There is nothing definite as
vet regarding Mr. Griscoms successor in Japan, al
though # is known that the President contempates
several transfers in the diplomatic service and that
there will be some promotions soon after the Sen

A DIAMOND AGE.
More than S36, 100000 Worth of
Precious Stones Imported This Year.
from The Tribune Bureau.

TBrom The Tribune Bureau.I
Washington. Dec. H-The extraordinary era of
prosperity which this country is enjoying is in no
way better demonstrated than by the exceptional
increase in the importation Of diamonds, than
s3s 900 worth of precious stones having been i'm
ported into the United States in the calendar year
Just ending which is by far the largest importation
in the history Of the country The high water mark
in earlier years SIS. 10000 in 1SB while 1905
showed only SZ7750OO0. In the ten months ended
with october the total was over 81, 100000.
than in any full year before 1905 1t is possible
that the value of diamonds alone brought into
this country the present year will be nearly or
quite 100000 and that of the other precious
stones approxi-nately s7eOOGo0 The value of uncut
diamonds imported into the United States in 1905
will exceed SI0el00lo

Sample Of Club Life.

w. s. Burgess, the yacht designer.
was talking at Marblehead about club
life.
odd and amazing are the complaints
that the house committees of clubs re-
ceive," he said. II remember at a club
to which / once belonged a letter of COM
plant about the restaurant that was sent
in by a millionaire. This letter was so
interesting that took a copy Of 1t. Here
is the copy. I'll read it from my note
book"
Mr.. Burgess then read:
Gentlemen: / have the honor to inform
you that 1 lunched at the club this after
noon and had as my guests three gentle
men, all well known gourmets. Among
the dishes that / ordered, an omelette
was served which contained only three
flies AS an old member Of the club,
jealous Of it's reputation as to generosity
of portions, this naturally touched my
pride; it was, moreover. embarrassing,
because, in order to make an equitable
division of the omelette It was necessary
either to divide a fiy-a nice bit Of cary
ing, as you must concede-or to forego a
fly myself. l beg to suggest that in the
future when an omelette is ordered for
four persons 1t should be served with
either: (a) Four flies. or OBJ no flies at all.

The Lewis and Clark Exposition.

While gangs of laborers are razing the
White City at st. Louis to zone with
Nineveh and Tyre" another exposition
dreamland is lifting it's lofty walls in
Portland, Oregon, At st. Louis worried
financial committees are trying to cast
a balance between profit and loss; mer-
chants there are calling in their ventures
and discharging their clerks, trying to
adapt themselves to the ebb tide of the
exposition boom, and wondering whether
after all, the game was worth the can
die. At Portland the work is far ad-
vanced for the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition of 1905. This Worlds Fair will be
an abridged edition of st. Louis, so far
as the main exhibits go. Ever since the
st. Louis Fair closed carloads of goods
have been pouring into Portland to be
stored until its fair opens next June
In general, this scheme has appealed
strongly to the st. Louis exhibitors. It
costs a great deal to get an exhibit to-
gether, and, in case of foreign govern
ments and firms, to ship it over the water
That it should be torn to pieces again
after four months makes the whole thing
questionable economy But when the
same exhibit at comparatively little ad-
ditional cost can be shown for a second
summer, in a different city, to different
people, it is all $50 much to the good"
on that account most Of the foreign gov
ernments have looked with pleasure on
the suggestion to take their exhibits to
Portland; the United States government
exhibit, the Japanese exhibit and many
other foreign government exhibits are be-
ing moved intact.
An allegorical design for this fair is
typical and suggestive. Two buckskin-
clad explorers. each with a powder horn
and a gun, face the sun as It sets in the
Pacific. Each has raised his hand as II
