TRAINING OF 4 DIPLOMAT.
Practical Study for the Foreign Ennis

French Language.

The practical study of the diplo-
mat consists Of languages, above
all French, the diplomatic Ian
cuage, which he must master as
he knows his own tongue, says
Parsons. international law 20,
lltical economy ard commerce &c
must master 5e the point Of ; css...,
an expert. The laws of his Own
country he must know, as well as
the chief laws of all the other big
countries with which he may be
brought into close relation. In
short, polish and study and
knowledge are the requisites OF
the foreign diplomat. And when
he has mastered a score or more Of
intricate studies and has them. at
his fingers ends, just as the civil
engineer knows his calculus, then
the youngster ventures forth as
an atache and is advanced slowly
from less important stations to
more important ones, until, after
vast experience, he is appointed to
q post OF more or less weight,
where he can work bis way up
from capital to capital and from
court TO court until his name fig
ures among the great diplomats OF
the times. Such is the training OF
these professionals who are called
upon TO meet the first good man
who has standing, wealth and pc
sition, and whom the president
honors, whether he has experience
or none, to represent the great
American nation. Power versus
persuasion, this is the situation
engendered between two such di
ametrically opposite men.
One of the most serious handi
caps of the American diplomatic
service, that is in the eyes of the
foreign expert, is that the service
includes no women. In the great
diplomatic households of Eu
ropean governments the woman
plays a role second only to that O.
her lord and master. 1t is
through the women of his house
hold, especially if they be beauti
full, that the diplomat may hop'

FRENCH WOMAN coNscRlPT
Member Of Fair Sex Is Called Upon
to Report for Duty by Officers
of Country's Infantry.

Women soldiers there have
been before now who won fame
and honor in their day, but wOm-
an conscript is, it may be sup
posed, something of a novelty.
She has just made an ephemeral
appearance at the French village
of Mazelle, in the COrreze, where
a young woman, named FRANCHISE
Bernard, few days since received
formal order directing her to re-
port herself for service with the
Fourteenth infantry, stationed at
Brive. Though a little surprised,
FRANCHISE consulted the village
mayor, and, as he advised her to
report herself, the plucky girl
made no more fuss about it, but
set out to do so. At the village
station she had no difficulty in get
ting her ticket at one-fourth the
usual fare, but on reaching Brive
nothing less than production of
her mobilization order saved her
from being arrested for fraudu-
lent travelling. Her difficulties
eliminated on presenting herself
at the barrack. The sergeant of
the guard obstinately refused to
allow her to pass inside, but hav-
ing gone so far she had no mind to
be baked of her uniform, and it re.
quired a long parley to persuade
her to take steps with the police
for having her "civil state" placed
on a more accurate footing.

More Trouble in Russia.

Russian news comes again in notes of
bloodshed and violence. notes which presage
serious trouble for the government and dis
tress for the people. A reign of terror has
begun in Poland. affecting wide area and
causing already the death of several police
officials. some women and children and
number of revolutionsts. Many arrests
have been made and the entire province is
In a state of panic verging upon anarchy.
Thus does the policy of repression demon
sefate its inevitable effects.
But the disturbances are not confined to
Poland. In several parts of the great body
of the empire. particularly in the south and
east. rioting has occurred, with the burn
ing of houses on large scale at Mini Nov
gorod. Revolutionists are stopping trains
for purposes of robbery. These are isolated
instances. as far as the news reports go,
but there is reason to suspect that they
are typical of the state of the country in
general and that only a part of the full
story has been allowed to get upon the
cables.
Investigation of the recent attempt upon
Grand Duke Nicholas life has apparently
proved beyond question that there was q

New York.

In deciding not to await the action Of
their opponents before taking the field
the New York republicans manifested the
proper spirit yesterday. Following the
democrats would have looked little like
cowardice. Being in power, with recori
which must be their platform, they owed
it to themselves to move without regard
to the other sides nominations. But wise
as. this decision was. the situa ton in the
state remains complicated for the srepub-
licans beyond anything known of late
years. There are factions and factions,
each with knife fresh from the grind
stone, and all prepared for bloody work
at the state convention. The result there
no man can with safety forecast. A stu
alton closely akin to this exists on the
other side of the fence. The democrats
are likewise fioundering in a sea Of tii-
visions, and direful things are threatened.
There may be three state tickets, and
fourth Is not impossible.

Labor on the Isthmus.

From the New York Tribune
1t must be borne in mind that the canal
zone is not a part of the United States.
That is a fundamental consideration in the
labor problem there. 1t was long ago made
clear, by judicial decision interpreting the
Constitution and the laws, that Porto Rico
and the Philippines were not parts Of the
United States, and that the Constitution
and laws of the United States did not ap-
ply to them until and Unless specifically ex-
tended to them by act of Congress. Such
being the case with those territories, abso-
lutte ownership of and sovereignty over
which are vested in the United States, much
which the United States has not ownership
lease under alien sovereignty
1t follows, then. that the Chinese exclu-
sion act Of the United States does not ap-
ply to the isthmus, and will not unless
Congress sees fit to apply 1t thereto by
special act. The same Is to be said of the
eight-hour law and of other laws OF the
United States. There will be no violation
of them, in either letter or spirit. In en-
ploying Chinese contract labor for the ex-
cavation of the canal. If 1t is fact that
concerning the Chinese exclusion act there
Is such a deep-seated sentiment and con-
viction among the people of our country
as Mr.. Gotnpers thinks what has that to

sentiment and conviction of 1.-The people OF
our country" are, but what those Of the
people of Panama are.

seemingly been successful. for he has de-
clined to assume the military leadership OF
the empire. expressing his preference that
the post be given to Gen. Lnevitch.
One of the most shocking instances OF
brutality ever recorded Is reported from st.
Petersburg. A young woman OF mixed
Russian and American parentage, who 1t Is
said is well known as visitor In Wash
ington was f1ogged by soldiers in the court
yard of barracks for having made q
satirical remark when a squadron Of SOL
diers was passing. Her comment caused a
demonstration against the soldiers on the
part of the bystanders, and after a brutal
exhibition of military ferocity against the
crowd the young woman and her companion
were captured. put into a cab. taken to the
barracks and, after a summary examina-
tion by the commandant, she was whipped
until she was horribly wounded. The out
rage has aroused fierce resentment on the
part of the public, as far as 1t has been dis
closed. and 1t Is expected that it will cause
many outbreaks against the soldiery.
The Russian government will find It's
course exceedingly difficult II 1t tries to
force brutal military rule upon the people.
They are now cowed and apparently help
less, but throughout this crisis it has been
apparent that all that was needed in Russia
to preclpitate a successful revolution was
a union of the people with common
grievance serious enough to carry them out
of their stoAd patience under misrule.
Nothing is more likely to sting the
peasantry and the middle classes into open
espousal Of the revolutionist cause than
series of military outrages such as that
just reported from the capital.

After several days of rioting on the street
cars running from Brooklyn to Coney
Island, with at times complete stoppage
of all traffic for hours and the ejectment of
thousands of passengers and many arrests,
a compromise has been reached by which
the service will continue and the company,
demanding a double fare to the resort, will
give the protesting passengers a voucher
emitting them to a rebate of the extra
fare In case the courts later decide that the
} two-fare- rule is illegal This common
sense arrangement might have been pro-
vided in advance If the corporation had
properly measured the public determination
to take advantage of judicial dIctum ut
tered the other day that the two-fare ex
action was without warrant of law. The
public however, is in this case chiefly to
blame for the rioting, inasmuch 1t &C
cepted as a final ruling by the court on
the fare question the personal statement by
a judge who decided the arrest of a pro-
testing passenger was illegal. The judge
who uttered that dictum has now explained
that he did not mean 1t to be so regarded
and in his absence from the city did not
know that the words he spoke had precip-
itated such serious consequences. One life
at least has been sacrificed, hundreds have
entire community has been thrown into
state of disorder which has unquestionably
had a demoralizing effect upon the relations
OF the people to the transportation COM
pany.
1t is a remarkable state of affairs that is
thus disclosed by the trouble over the dou-
BILE fare. The corporation claims that it's
right has been finally affirmed by the
courts. The passengers claim, and are In
this matter advised by certain newspapers
working in political interest. that the
company has no right to the double fare
The municipality itself has taken no steps
to settle the question, and as events have
proved 1t has been idling on the edge of
disorder for many months in consequence
of its laxity. The New York public is
highly excitable. and it is very easy to get
IL in motion headed for trouble. 1t Is I'M
safe to foment animosities against the pub
lie service corporations in that community
and 1t is to be hoped that this affair, with
its deplorable and tragic accomplishments
will demonstrate the necessity of a speedy
adjustment of the legal relations and rights
of the common carrier. The municipal or
ganization is evidently faulty when such
scenes as those of the past several days
can be enacted without official check or
hindrance.
