THE SCltANTutf TBIBUNE WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 4, 1896. 11 OUR EMBASSY AT THE ENGLISH CAPITAL Don Nat Cob port With Oar Importance as a Natioe. SALARIES PAID ARE TOO SMALL Some of the Distinguished Men Who Have Represented the Sovereignly of the Republic at the Court of St. JasnefOur Ambassador Always a Much Bought for Man Socially. What it Done at the American Con sulate Ceneral"ircf and Official Costume. From the 8trand Magazine. The first duty of an American am bassador upon his arrival in London Is to obtain an interview with the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, and to deliver to him u copy of his letter of credence. The secretary of the em bassy usually notllles thu foreign sec retary of the ambassador's arrival, nnU In this way. prepares for the Interview. Afterward, on a duy tixed, the necre tary of state presents the ambassador to the sovereign, to whom the ambas sador delivers the original letter of credence. On the same iluv. or as soon as convenient, the ambassador begins a series of social calls upon the secre tary of state and members of the royal Circle. The ambassadress, meanwhile, pays visits to the wives, and In this way the Bocial Intercourse which con tinues throughout the ambassador's term of office is immediately establish ed. Important as the duties of the am bassador in the transmission of mes sages from the Department of State to the British government may be at a certain time, a great part of his lab or and that of his subordinates consists in attention to social and court func tions, and the most successful minis ters of the past hundred years have been those who have most punctilious ly attended to their performance. A glance at the diary of John Qulncy Adams will show that the London evenings of that noted man were spent in society. He danced, talked, played cards and made himself gener ally agreeable to those about him. His diplomatic success was accordingly enormous. The triumphs of Motley and Lowell were gained In the same Way, and Mr. Uayard's present pres tige in England is due greatly to his popularity in the social world. The diplomatic battles of the present day are won at dinners and in quiet talks, and he who most ably represents the United States in London is he who fol lows his government's Instructions and omits "no occasion to muintain the most friendly personal and social relations with the members of the gov ernment and of the diplomatic body at the place of residence." PERSONAL TACT VALUABLE. In such a work the value of personal tact, courtesy and education cannot be overestimated. The demands made upon them are continual, whether at the dinner tuble or on the platform, at the country house or at court. In the possession of these qualities the ministers whom the United States has sent to England, from the Adamses to Phelps and Lincoln, have been pecu liarly fortunate, and to the present ambassador a title which has belong ed to Mr. Ha yard since his country rose to the first rank among nations has been left the heriluge of a position which is well-nigh priceless. For years the "American minister" occupied a Unique place In London. His speeches v ci fiiiiiti.il anil tliu nroB.nra annc-tir .".-, f'v..wv o - when other diplomatists were appar ently neglected. The traditions have been maintained by Mr. liayard. Society, however, costs money, and London Is a most expensive place to live In. Consequently, the nipgunlly salar ies which the United States gives to Its diplomatic agents In London quickly disappears, leaving them to depend up on their own private purses for the wherewithal to maintain the dignity of their government. Many protest! have been made by the past ministers, from John Adams down, but these forcible presentations of a disgraceful fact have had little Influence with the home gov ernment. Adams at one time wrote to Jay asking him to "consider that the single circumstance uf presenting a family at court will make a difference of several hundred pounds sterling In my Inevitable annual expenses," but nothing was done to relieve the minis ter from the 'Inevitable." The money goes In a variety of ways. If the queen holds a drawing room or the Prince of Wales a levee, the diplomatic corps Is expected -to be present, and court dress costs anywhere from two hundred dollars- Besides this, the family of the ambassador is expected to be present, and every one In London society knows that the bill for a lady's court dress is almost as long as the train. Ambassa dors with a goodly number of daugh ters are accordingly at a distinct finan cial disadvantage. The ambassadress, moreover. Is supposed not to appear twice at a drawing room In the same dress, and this rule imposes an addi tional financial burden. Then there are dinners to be given, receptions to be held on Washington's birthday and Fourth of July, the regular weekly re ception which Mr. Bayard now gives to his compatriots to be maintained, and a turn-out to be supported, in or der that too much of the government's time may not be wasted In the city of dreadful distances. HEAVY EXPENSES. One can quickly estimate the amount of money which a necessary attention to such ceremony costs to a minister on a small salary. The present wage Is $17,600. How sorry this pittance looks beside the 132,500 and the sumptuous mansion which the British govern ment gives to Sir Julian Pauncefote, Its representative In Washington. There Is little doubt, however, that an ambassador would willingly bear all the expenses which fall upon him, as Is the case with others of his rank. If the house In which he lived belonged to his nation. The United States in this respect stands in a unique and unen viable position. All other nations give to their ambassadors a mansion which, through continuous use by successive ambassadors, becomes the real em bassy. The American ambassador, on the other hand. Is forced to hire a, fur nished house. He does not dare to buy a mansion, or to furnish one. because he knows that his term of olllce may not last longer than four years; and he cannot feel sure that his successor will relieve him from the burden of a costly mansion. If congress were the least bit sensitive to appearances, It would quickly put an end to the "furnished house" system, and give to the ambas sador a mansion of which the nation might be proud. THE COURT COSTUME. .. 'What shall I wear at court?" is a question which has puzzled every en voy which the United States, for mpv seasons pant, has sent to England, r1 very amuslnz are the stories told of the ministerial struggles with this most important matter of dress. The trouble has been due to the strictness of the rules which govern the court functions, as well as to the restrictions put upon the ministers by congress. Of the one, it is well known that the official court costume is a detail which has to be rigidly conformed with, else ' a guest cannot pass her majesty. When Mr. Dallas was In London he took two great military dignitaries of the United States to court, but one of them was not allowed to pass the queen because be wort a black cravat, had no chapeau and no sword. The minister thereupon Withdrew aracefully with his friend. Regarding the provisions of congress upon this point of costume, the printed rules instruct officers to conform "to the requirements of law prohibiting them from wearing any uniform or of ficial costume not previously authorised by congress." The taste of congress has been expressed in favor of "the simple dress of an American citizen." and there have been several official hints that the dress which Franklin wore at the court of France ought to be taken as a model. Evidently con gress forgot that the reason for Frank lin's appearance In Quaker dress, with home-knit woolen stockings, was due, not to an austere democratic feeling In our minister, but to a general curios ity in the court to see the American who had so quickly sprung into popu larity. Mr. Buchanan was one of those who did not know what to wear. He was perfectly willing to accord With the wishes of his government, but he early Discovered that the "simple dress of an American citizen" was vcrv nearly that of the upper court servant. At one time, therefore, he thought of put ting on "United States buttons," and at another time of donning the civil dress of George Washington, He sac rificed the buttons because a plain dress sword had a more manly and less gaudy appearance and he abandoned the Washington costume after looking at the Stuart portrait of the first president. Buchanan finally appeared at a levee, as be says, "in Just such a dress as I have worn at the President's a hundred times." The costume con sisted of a black coat, white waistcoat, black pantaloons and dress boots, with the addition of a very plain, black handled and black-hllted dress sword. It was a victory for Mr. Buchanan's conscience, but the costume must have given the lord chamberlain a twinge. The present court costume Is such as might be worn in Washington ut the presidential mansion, and is merely the usual evening dress of black broad cloth, silk stockings and low shoes. THE EMBASSY. . The embassy is the place through which the government of the Untied States converses and consults wlih the government of Great Britain the am bassador acting as go-betweun. Many of these negotiations require the great est secrecy, and it Is therefore not sur prising to find the embassy a very sub dued sort of place, with several rooms which the ordinary visitor never sees. The embassy Is at 123 Victoria street, about live minutes' walk from West minster Abbey, and in close proximity to the offices of the British govern ment. It Is not an Imposing building. In fact, it is not a building at all. but rather a first (loorllat In a row of "mansions." Democracy has stamped Itself upon the exterior and interior, for there is nothing about our embassy which would lead the most parsi monious of Americans to charge his foreign representatives with luxury and extravagance. Ill one of the invisible rooms sits Mr. liuvard. Although he Is not by nature an exclusive man, he Is, through force of circumstances, compelled to hide himself from the large body of visitors who seek the embassy, and the lucky ones who see him are those who have come upon government business. Con sequently, the American toruist who goes to Victoria street rarely finds It possible to pay his "respects" to the ambassador. This is as it should be, for, during the summer season, the em bassy is the objective point of all Americans who want to get into the house of commons or the royal stables, or who wish a multitude of other things which they think the embassy can se cure. If the ambassador were in per son, to meet all the demands the gov ernment business would never be fin ished. The consulate is closely connected with the business world, and Is situated at 12 St. Helen's place, ltishopsgate, right In the heart of the city of Lon don, easy of access to the thousand and one shippers and merchants who need Its help every week of the year. We shall say nothing of the smallness of the place and its meanness of appear ance, but will try to show the connec tion between the consul and the Ameri can citizen abroad. The duties of the consul are varied enough to keep him emphatically busy. If two shops be longing to the United States at sea, the consul receives the protests and reports of the angry captains. If the American child Is born or a citizen dies in Lon don the consul authenticates the birth and death. He administers estates. He sends home shipwrecked or unemployed sailors and other destitute persons. He acts as arbitrator in commercial dis putes between his fellow-countrymen, and he certifies to the value of every Invoice of foreign goods above a cer tain amount shipped from Lon don to the United States. His spare time Is spent In col lecting Information upon commercial, economic and political matters for the benefit of his government. For nearly all of the work, besides his regular salary, he gets fees, which In the case of London are said to be worth about $40,000. Notwithstanding his Importance, the consul Is not a diplomatic agent of thn United States. He is sent to his post for mercantile purposes, and as a pro tector of his fellow-dtlzens In the dis trict he represents. For these reasons, he possesses no diplomatic Immunity. Unlike the ambassador, who, accord ing to the old-time custom, is supposed to contain within his person the sover eignty of his monarch, the person of the consul is not inviolable. He pays taxes, but the atnbassadcr does not. He is subject to the laws cf the coun try, whereas the ambassador possesses Immunity from civil Jurisdiction, and he, as well as the least of his official subordinates and servants, cannot be sued, arrested or puul3hed. As at the embassy, a friendly wel come always awaits the "reveler at the consulate, and everything is done by the officials to make bis r.tay in Lon don pleasurable anci prcVable. The sweetness of democracy may be tasted In both places, for tl-cre Is little red tape, and the accessibility which has been a marked quality in oftlclal per sonages in the United States Is also to be noted in London. Ceitainly there Is little reason for the American to be ashamed of the way in which he is represented abroad. UNCLE ISHAM AND THE DEES. An Old Hen, Much to Her Own Sor row, Went to His Rescue. Woodbine, Mlss.,Corr. Philadelphia Times. Uncle Isham was whitewashing at our nliit p the other dav. when a swarm of bees in full wing chanced to per- t vado the atmosphere. Now, bees ore much dearer to the heart of Uncle I Isham than whitewashing. though ! whitewashing Is his profession, so I was not surprised when the old man dropped his brush head and ears In ihe bucket, strlghtened his crooked back and hobbled rapidly up to the dor: "Gimme de dinenf bell, mistis," he said, excitedly. "What is it?" I asked. "Bees," he whispered, and I got the bell. I knew the old man's weakness. Besides, It is not uninteresting to see a swarm of bees hived from a perfect ly safe distance, understand. The bees showed some signs of making a raid on a honeysuckle vine that was In full bloom on my trellis, but the queen seemed dainty about making a land ing. She buzed and whirled and shifted with the swarm at her heels till the air was black with bees, but resolutely In the midst, with his bell ringing, stood Uncle Isham alone and unprotected, yet with his face to the foe. I couldn't tell whether the swarm was moving with the old man or he was moving with the swarm, the bees were so thick about him, but the group kept un a continual migration till at last the door of my little poultry yard was reached. A heavily blossomed rose bush grew just beside the gate, and upon this, at length, the queeen seemed to have made up her mind to light. She made a dive downward, the swarm following, when, just at the critical moment, a hen from the poultry yard, with a loud cackle, flew from her nest Into the very midst of the swarm. "Drat dat ole fool hen!" I heard Un cle Isham say, and I thought the game was ttiided. What those bees and that hen really thought. It was impossible to mate with accuracy, but they evidently seemed to think that some mutually reacting kind of cyclone business had been let loose In their midst. For a moment or two there appeared to be Just a conglomerate mixture of bees and hen in midair, and by and by, when they came down, they were liter ally all there and all togteher. The queen, who had no doubt been knocked "perfectly silly," was comfortably es tablished on the hen's back, while the whole swarm clung around her. The poor hen was bedecked from tip to beak, and could not move a feather. Uncle Isham, very much surprised at the turn of affairs, got a box and soon had the swarm safely hived, much to the poor hen's relief. AXCIEXT Bl'ILDIXUS. A Mystery to the Learned Men W ho Ilnvc Studied 1 bcm. From Tid Bits. For centuries past the ingenuity of learned men has been exercised on the Noraghe of Sardinia, hut to this day they have no more been abl. to dis cover the origin of these famous build in irs than had the Komans before them. They are unable to say whethtr they were us?d for tombs or tire temples, for trophies of victory, for obsctva torles. or inertly for human dwelling places. More than 3.000 of them have been counted in Sardinia, standing on arti ficial mounds thirty or sixty feet hih. and mcHuiing at the base 100 to 200 tett in lireuinft-rcnc. They are us ually In the shape of towers, built with Immense blocks of stone, roughly hewn with hammers. No cement is us.-il In their stiueture, nor is there any in scription to indicate their oilgin. A low entrance at one sld leads into a long and lofty passage, communicat ing by a very low door with a doomed chamber beyond. On cither side of this small cells have been formed In the walls. A spiral staircase, rising steep ly from the dome, leads to another, but somewhat smaller chamber above, and ugaln beyond this to the broken top of the Nornghe. Nothing hus been found within these buildings and to this day their ex istence is a mystery. In the same vicinity other buildings have been discovered, which are no less puzzling to antiquaries. The general opinion Is that they were built for the purpose of burying giants. The most Interesting archaeological mysteries of this country are the Denes of Essex and Middlesex. They are perpendicular shafts sunk In the earth, with lateral caves at the bottom, but the purpose for which they were dug out has never been discovered. It Is possible, however, that they might have been used as granaries, or even as places of refuge In time of trouble. The Itathes of Kerry form an Inter esting study, the only conclusion that has been arrived a, however, being thut they were inhabited at some re mote age by a race of dwarfs. The dis trict Is covered with hundreds of green mounds, beneath which, when the earth has been removed, it Is seen that there are tiny underground buildings, A small opening, through which u man Is barely able to crawl on his hands and knees, gives access to the in closed and walled-in space beyond, which is divided into several smaller chambers. Each one communicates with the other by a small hole, a simi lar aparture being made In the outer wall for the purpose of ventilation. A rude fireplace is sometimes found la a remote corner, but no outlet beyond the holes for ventilation is provided for the smoke. Very little more than this is known about these mysterious habitations. THE LADY WAS INSt'LTED. It Wasn't Possible That Sho Could Have Done Such a Vulgar Thing. from the Buffalo Express. She blushed a bit as she came into the office. When the man at the desk saw that, he blushed too. She was a pretty young thing. She had a copy of the paper In her hand. She hesitated, cleared her throat and then began: "You had something about nie In the paper." "Is that possible?" asked the man at the desk. "Why, didn't you see It?" "Perhaps I did. What was It?" She unfolded the paper and pointed to a paragraph that was surrounded by some heavy pen marks. The man at the desk read: "Just be fore the meeting adjourned and while the ladles were about to put on their wraps. Mrs. Ingmlre arose and threw a bombshell Into the meeting by declar ing that she did not believe a word that had been said." "Well?" said the man at the desk, "Well?" queried the woman. "What do you want me to do?" The young woman blushed again. "I want you to correct It," she said. "Correct what?" Then she got angry. "Young man." she said. Impressively. "I am here to see that a great wrong la righted. Your paper has printed a false and malicious statement about me, and I insist on its correction." "Hut. my dear madam, you have not told me what was wrong." "Wrong!" sho exeluimed. "Wrong! Why. the very Idea. I never saw such stupidity. Doesn't it say there that Mrs. Ingmlre threw a bombshell into the meeting?" "It does." "Well. I am Mrs. Ingmlre?" "Yes." "Yes? Is that nil you say yes? Why, you unfeeling brute, I say I am Mrs. Ingmire." "1 have not denied your Identity," the man at the denk remarked. "And If you won't correct P. then I will go to my lawyer nnd we shall see whether you will or not. I do not pur pise to let any rascally reporter take such liberties with my fair name. I am Mrs. Ingmlre, I say." "What of it?" "WhHt of It? What of it? Why. you spy I threw a bombshell Into the meet ing. Think of it! Imagine such a state ment lieinor made nbout me! Whv, I never saw a bombshell In all my life. I don't know whut a bombshell Is. And more than that, 1 wmjidn't touch one of the nasty thlnprs if I eoiild, to say nothing of throwing one. Now, you say In the niorninc that Mr. Ingmlre is a perfect lady nnd does not thro - bomb shells, or I will have you ull In Jail." And she flounced out. PER C A FIT A DEBTS OF EUROPE. It will bo news to most people to learn thut according to the latest statistics ev ery baby horn in France is from Its blrtn !:"! francs CO centimes in d-bi. The na tional debt of France Is greater than th.it of any country In the world, amounting to 33,423,000.000 francs, or about 7,W.i,ilW.im After France, say Portugal Is the big gest debtor. Each little Portuguese .who conies Into the world Is 09 francs In debt. King Humbert of Italy rule over sub jects whose share of the national debt Is 405 francs each. The debt of the Germans Is 2.131.000 .000 francs, much less than that of France. The French pay an average of SS francs taxes each year, while the fierman tHX averaaes 44 francs per individual. This Is becauso the republican form of government, as practice! In the lard of l Illy, la more ex pensive then th- mocarchial. Another reason why Germany Is better off financially Is because hfr noyulation Is on the increase In spite of the enormous emigration yearly. Germany is the mot orollflc and France the leet proline conn, try In the world.
