philadelphia Record.)

There has lately become public a
private letter from Mr.. Buchanan
while Minister to England which gives
touching view of the struggles of an
American diplomat with the problem
of court dress. There is no obvious
reason why a freeborn American cit
izen who has no hesitation about
dressig suitable for work, recreation
suitable for his work, his recvreation
in the country, an afternoon tea and i
dinner party, should there make his
stand as in the last ditch and refuse,
or at least make difficulties about, one
more change of raiment and wear
court dress for a court function, or
why Americans who are willing to APP
pear in military dress on every pos
sible occasion, to wear gowns in pull
pits and on the Bench, should boggle
at the dress customarily worn by per-
sons who call on king or a queen.
Nevertheless, there has been con-
tinual trouble over this from early
days to the present. The Federalists
took easily enough to court dress, but
their political opponents accused them
of being royalists in disguise. Demo-
cratic ENJOYS had great trouble with
the question of costume, though SO
radical a Democrat as John Randolph
of oanoke dropped on his knees to
the Empress of Russia under the de-
fusion that this was the proper thing
to do, whereat all the court ladies had
to stuff their handkerchiefs In their
mouths.
The State Department once pre-
scribed a diplomatic uniform, but it
yielded to Democratic sentiments.
When the Republican party came into
power the dress crisis was less acute,
but the fact that our ENJOYS were ap-
pearing at court in the dress appro-
pirate thereto, or bearing some resem-
blance to the dress of other ENJOYS,
moved "Richelieu" Robinson, then a
from Brooklyn, to secure
an enactment forbidding court dress
or diplomatic uniforms to our ENJOYS.
Nevertheless, the public has learned
within recent years that several of
our Ambassadors have appeared in
diplomatic dress of their own design

TRAINS CAN'T COLLIDE
over ELECTRIC DEVICE
Thrilling Tests Successfully
Made

Huntington, Pa, Dec. 31.-Local Of
ficials of the Huntington & Broad Top
Railroad Company were delighted to-
day with tests made on their road of
the new automatic train control, pat
ented device of a new concern in Phil
adelphia, composed of stockholders
from that city, My means of the new
electrical service any train that goes
past a danger signal is stopped me-
chemically. The system takes the cor
troll of the train away from on engineer
who let's his engine pass a signal that
gives him orders to stop.
The tests were made at SaXton, along
fye-mile stretch of road that gave
demonstrators and officials an excel
ent opportunity to see the new patent
work.
A special train, engine, tender and
parlor car, carrying Superintendent A,

officials of the road and demonstrators
and stockholders of the Philadelphia
company, was several times taken past
the red-Hght sign, only to be brought
up suddenly with an easy bump on the
other side.
If the signal is clear, the train con-
troll device operates but does not
bring the train to a stop, on account
of an external battery holding the train
control at normal If the signal is at
danger the external battery is cut of
and the local battery on the engine is
short circuted and the mechanical
valve open, bringing the train to a
stop. This may mean that any Of the
following conditions may exist: A train
on the block, broken rail, misplaced
switch, cars or engine fouling main
track, broken signal control wire, de-
rangement track circuit, signal fail
ure or, on u single-track road, train
approaching in opposite direction, The
first test made today was a train on
the block and another following at
high speed, running past the danger
The following train was automatically
stopped by the device. This also de-
monstrated a head-on protection.
The second test was made with
head-on trains entering the opposite
ends of the block at high speed Both
were stopped short distance from the
signals. With switch improperly
locked to the main track, the third test
was made. This held the signal in ,Ae
danger position, and the train running
past It met the same fate as in the
other two tests and was brought to q
standstill.

JAMES BUCHANANS AMBASSADORIAL CLOTHES

I ing, and none have been impeachei
therefor. A year or two ago the coun-
try was convulsed by the information
that MIR. Towers court trousers, or
brooches, had been returned to his
London tailor to be amended, or caus-
ed to fit better, and had not returned
to Berlin in time for a court function.
When Mr.. Buchanan was to be pre-
scented to Queen Victoria the master OF
ceremonies demurred to his appear
ance in 'the simple dress of an Amer
lean citizen" Mr. Buchanan was not
to be present as a simple American
citizen, but as a Minister Plenipoten-
tiary. Democrats have never been re-
luctant to hold office, or bear titles,
but court dress is a severe strain on
them. Sir Edward Gust said the
Queen would receive the American
Minister in any clothes he chose to
wear, but he thought the Minister
ought to do the conventional thing. Mr..
Buchanan said he would if the Queen
insisted on it. Sir Edward did not
think it fit to take counsel with the
Queen as to Mr. Buchanans clothes.
Mr.. Buchanan wrote to Postmaster
General James Campbell that a COM
premise had finally been effected. He
| would not wear gold lace, and the CO.'S
tune he proposed to wear was that OF
the servants. The compromise was that
he should wear the costume OF WASH
ington, which, as a matter of fact, was
court dress. 1T would be very diff
cult" he wrote, "for an American
Minister to justify himself in refusal
to appear as Washington did" Still
| the Jeffersonians of his day denounced
! Washington as a secret monarchist
Ultimately Minister Buchanan carried
, his entire point, except as to one de-
tail: he was to wear "a very plain
black-handled and black-hilted dress
sword, This to crafty them who had
yielded so much and to distinguish me
from the upper court servants" 1t
interested the Queen: "As l approach
ed the Queen an arch but benevolent
smile lit up her countenance-as much
as to say, you are the first man who
ever appeared before me in such a
dress" Whereat the American Min
lister declares that he felt prouder
than ever before in his life.

to drop in for cup of tea, not that
