Diplomatic Row Is Recalled by Death

A few years ago Lord Sackville
created sensation by publishing a
pamphlet, for private circulation
among his friends, in which he vindi-
Gated his diplomatic work in the
United States. The newspapers OBJ
tanned copy of this publication. In
it Lord Sackville explained with much
picturesque detail that the trap into
which he fell in this city was Fenian
conspiracy; that the Fenian organiza-
tion harassed him during his residence
in America, kept spies after him and
plotted to assassinate him. Few of
the diplomats friends took this story
seriously. Most of them regarded it
as the imaginings of a disappointed
old man who was brooding upon what
he considered his wrongs.
The minister was given his pass
ports by the president after his recall
had been requested by the American
government, which request was not
acted upon by the British government
The occasion of the diplomats dis
grace was that he had been trapped
into writing a letter, written as he
supposed to an Englishman, favoring
the reelection of Cleveland. This let
ter was used against the president.

WASHINGTON.-What will become

men if Mr.. Bryan is elected? This
problem is really giving serious con-

odd sort of thing to worry about, but
Washington is an odd sort of place,
unlike other cities in many of its as
poets, and its residents, both perma-
nent and fitting, have anxieties and
responsibilities unknown to urban
dwellers where the social population
is less transient and changing than it
IS here.
Hostesses aver that a shortage ex-

young men who can be called upon at
short notice to fill vacancies at a
dinner table. In the face of an eager
demand, Mr.. Roosevelt has done much
toward creating an available and WIS.,

taken most kindly to Mr. Roosevelt S

New Record in Timber Cut Established

might be thought that the amount
actually manufactured must have been
greater in the earlier year. This. how
ever. would be too hasty inference,
for it is almost wholly among mills
of small individual output that the
gain in the number of establishments
reporting has been made.
Before the year closed the general
business depression was severely felt
in the lumber industry. 1t was not,
however. the most important cause
of falling off in the production of
the year where a falling off occurred
For decline in production took place
only in certain regions. The south is
the region of greatest activity in lum-
ber production, and yellow pine the
most important wood, forming 33 per
cent. of the entire cut of the country
The cut of yellow pine reported shows
an increase of 13 per cent. over that
of 1906. In the early part of the year
many of the southern mills cut so
heavily that, in spite of the curtailed
output which followed the business
disturbance later, the total was great
er than ever before. But in both the
lake states and the northwest a
smaller cut was reported than for
1906, though the number of mills re-
porting increased

Only the most experienced buyers

rule supplies are bought for the voy-
age or round trip. In the case of the
sea hotel after leaving port there is
no turning back for something for

During 1907 the cost of catering to
the travellers of the North German

just published, was more than $4,000

About $500 a Month Saved by Los
Angeles In Fertilizer Deal.

Los Angeles. Cal.-By engendering n
little rivalry between the fertilizer
companies the board of public works
has been able to get revenue of
about 5000 monthly from the street
sweepings that formerly were carted
away and dumped-enough to pay the
salaries of two members of the board.
No money is actually paid to the
city by the company which gets the
sweepings, but the revenue comes
through the saving to the city of the
amount formerly paid to have them
gathered into wagons and carried
away. as the company gathers up the
sweepings In its own wagons. with Its
own men. The city formerly was COM
PEELED to pay $50 daily for this part
of the work.
Owing to the fact that the paved
streets are flushed every night there
is but little dust in the sweepings. and
the material gathered, is almost pure
fertilizer. For this reason the COM
panles dealing In this material are
anxious to make good bargain with
the city, and 1t was by exciting them
to rivalry that the board was able to
save the city $50 daily.

THE recent death in London of Lionel
i Sackville Sackville-West. second
Baron Sackville, recalls the diplomatic
row which resulted in his dismissal
as minister to this country.
Lord Sackville was born in 1927.
He was British minister TO the United
States from 1881 to 1888, being dis
missed by President Cleveland in Oc-
tober of the latter year.
Lord .Sackville's dismissal by Cleve-
land practically ended his diplomatic
career. for since 1883 he was never
intrusted with any important diplo-
matte mission. He lived quietly the
life OF a country gentleman and sell
dom appeared in London society. He
always retained grudge against
America and Americans, and 1t was
his custom to avoid any meetings with
travellers from this side.

= IGURES of the lumber cut in 1907,
compiled by the bureau of census
and the forest service, showed the
largest total ever reported in the
United States, exceeding by over
seven per cent. the cut reported for
1906, until then the record year. This
does not necessarily show a larger
actual cut than in 1906, for the re-
turns obtained last year were more
complete than ever before The fig
ures disclose some interesting facts.
In 1907 2s.s5O mills made returns,
and their production was over forty
billion feet of lumber. This is be-
lieved to include 95 per cent. of the
actual cut In 1906 22,39S mills re-
ported about thirty-seven and one-half
billion feet. Since, according to these
figures, nearly 20 per cent. more mills
reported last year than the year be-
fore, while the increase in production
was little over seven per cent, it

Congress May Take Up Hazing Cases

In announcing that the president had
closed the case by approving the find
Ing of guilty and directing their dis
missal. He left Washington. thinking
that the case had been closed and
that the order dismissing the cadets
would be issued as a mere matter of
routine. He did all he considered nec-
essary to bring about such an ending.
When the papers came to him he for.
warded them to the president. When
they came back indorsed with the
presidents approval, Gen. Oliver an
nounced the fact. So did Secretary
Loeb. Both were invited to join the
Ananias club. Secretary Wright es-
capped by saying that when he spoke
of the finding as having been approved
he spoke without having personal
knowledge simply assuming the re.
ports given out by Acting Secretary
Oliver and Secretary Loeb to have
been accurate.
The understanding here is that Con.
gressmen from the districts in which
the cadets live will introduce bills au
thorizing the president to restore the
dismissed cadets to the academy and
take the order Of suspension from the
six who were found guilty Of one thing
and punished for something not speci.
fied In an accurate manner.

Toward the end of the winter ap-

dinner tables lest Mr. Bryan came
to Washington, bringing with him in
subordinate capacities youths from
the corn and hog-raising states who
might be addicted to the prudent
usage of mashing their peas.
