FOR PEACE OF THE WORLD.
Comment Of London Paper on the
Monroe Doctrine.

LONDON. May N-The Spectator to-
day comments on the Endorsement by Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign SEC
rotary. Of the Monroe doctrine during his
speech at the dinner OF the Pilgrims
Society last Tuesday night as express
ing the universal feeling Of Englishmen
on the subject. In his speech Sir Ed
ward defined the Monroe doctrine as
meaning that no European nation could
acquire more territory on the American
continent. and added: Our policy is in
full accord with that doctrine"
The Spectator points out that, as things
are, the maintenance OF the Monroe doc-
trine necessitates the development by the
United States OF naval and military
strength equal to the carrying out Of the
responsibility she assumes. the only al
tentative being the abandonment or mod
ificat1on Of her Monroe policy. The news
paper hopes this latter the United States
never will do. as I'VE believe the doc
trine Is for the peace OF the world, and
that she should Insist on it." The Spec
tator adds that II the present movement
tenance OF the Monroe doctrine "by con-
sent might be possible" and says It con-
siders Sir Edward Greys definite recog-
milton Of the policy q long step In that
direction.

Diaz Leaves Mexico City;
Will Make Home in Spain

MEXICO CITY. May H.-The news
that ex-PreEident DiaE had left the cap
ital and taken train for Vera Cruz to
board Q vessel bound for Spain did not
become public until late yesterday after
noon. Only few devoted friends
whom he dared to trust. followed him to
shortly after the celebration over his
resignation had quteted down.
Secrecy was due less to apprehension
OF q popular outburst than to desire
to reach Vera Cruz before marau uders
along the route could learn Of the trip.
Travel between Mexico City and Vera
Crux usually Is over the Mexican rail-
road. standard gauge line with modern
eQufpment. Rails along this route, how
ever, frequently have been removed of
late by bandits, who were determined
that Diaz. for reasons best known to
themselves, should not leave the capital.
They were reported to have harbored the
idea that Dtaz would follow the prece-
dent of other Latin-Amertcan presidents,
and carry the national funds with him.
Took Narrow Gauge Line.
There is also a narrow gauge railroad
to the coast. Taking 1t for granted that
Diaz would utilize the more luxurious
route. the bandits did not modest the
narrow gauge road. For this reason ii
was chosen by Diaz for his trip.
Cen. Diaz still feeble from his illness
and far from being well man. left his
home under dreary circumstances. Rain
had fallen earlier in the night, and by
the time the former president emerged
from his house the air was chilly. He
was closely muffied. To aid i'm the dis

Evarts Was Just a Plain Man

The evening following the great aft
ernoon Of speechmaking in the senate.
the secretary Of state gave a formal
dinner at his home. Nearly all OF the
leading members of the administration
were present OF course. Sir Richard
Webster was also present. and when
one Of his fellow diners asked him
what his experience had been at the
capitol n few hours before he at once
began TO voice his intense admiration
for one Of the speeches he had heard
Then. turning to Mr.. Evarts. he con-
tinued:
The speech I have in mind was
made by Senator Conkling. I believe
he represents your own state. Mr..
Evarts"
The secretary of state nodded his
head slightly. while the other men,
bers of the administration struggled
TO suppress smiles: for the antipathy
that existed between Evarts and Conk.
ling was well known to one and all.

SIR Richard. innocently. Nor have 1

And. l should say" persisted the
Englishman. he should be your fore
most orator. l presume he is n very
able advocate. He must have many
clients in your courts. Is II not so.
Mr.. Secretary"
This time there was not even an al
most imperceptible nodding OF the
secretary Of states head. Instead. In
words precisely spoken. and with a
manner that was not lost upon Sir
Richard, his host replied:
II do not know whether II is or not.
I never saw him in court. and I never
heard OF his being there
For moment there was silence,
then Sir Richard. with commendabls
tact. changed the subject. and few
minutes later Mr.. Evarts was once
again the charming and entertaining
host. But the other members of the
administration still slyly smiling.

with tightened belts. we trudged on
our way to the lake over the graded

through the mud and water. We saw
many pitiful sights on that six-mile
stretch. enough to make US think

Secretary Of State Could Not Conceal
His Dislike for Conklins When
Sir Richard Webster Praised
the Senator.

Two famous men OF yesterday who
we're naturally repellant and for no
good reason that was apparent TO their
friends. were William NJ. Eyarts and
Roscoe Conkling. and the intense an
upathy. often bordering on downright
hatred, that they bore for each other
was productive OF at least one Incl.
dent illustrative OF how small some
great men can be at times.
When. in 1872. Mr.. Evarts acted as
chief counsel for the United States
before the celebrated Geneva Court
OF Arbitration. he made the acquaint-
ance OF Sir Richard f. Webster. who.
In 1900. was raised to the peerage
and the same year became Lord Chief
Justice OF England. The friendship
then established was continued by cor
respondence after Mr.. Evarts had re-
turned home. and when the latter
learned that Sir Richard was planning
TO make trip to America he gave
the British jurist n cordial invita-
ton to visit him at his home In wash
ington. Mr.. Evarts was then secre-
tary OF state.
In due course the Englishman ar
rived at tho Evarts mansion and was
taken by his host TO meet President
Hays. Now. IL so happened that the
next day Roscoe Conkling was to
make an important speech In the sen
ate chamber. The president knew
this: he also knew of his secretary OF
states dislike of Conkling, and. half
in the spirit of mischief and half be-
cause he wanted the visitor from
abroad to hear American oratory at
its best. he volunteered the informa-
ton that Sir Richard ought surely to
visit the senate chamber the next
afternoon. The Englishman replying
that he would be pleased TO do SO,
there remained nothing for his host
TO do but to exercise his prerogative

secure his guest a good seat In that
