Diplomatic Row Is
THE recent death In London of Lionel
Sackvlllo Snckvlllo-Wcst, oocond
Huron 8ackvlllo, recalls tho diplomatic
row which resulted In his dismissal
as minister to this country.
Lord Sackvlllo waB born In 1827.
Ho was Urltlsh mlnlstor to tho United
Stales from 1881 to 1888, being dla-
missed by President Olovoland In Oc-
tobor of tho latter yoar.
Lord Sackvlllo's dismissal by Clove
land practically ended his diplomatic
career, for slnco 1888 ho was novor
IntniBted with any Important dinar
nmtla mission, Ho lived quietly tho
mo or u country gontlemnn nnd sol
dom appeared In London socloty. Ho
always retained a grudge ngalnst
America nnd AmorlcntiB, nnd It was
his custom to avoid any meetings with
travelers from this side.

Fear the Election
doparturo for other fields of activity
outside of Washington, and becoming
actual, though obscure, workors In
tho vineyard, Is vlowod with alarm.
Toward tho end of tho winter ap
prehension was expressed at many
dinner tables lest Mr. Bryan camo
to Washington, bringing with him In
subordinate capacities youths from
the corn nnd hog-raising states who
might be addicted to tho prudent
usago of mashing their peas.
Over tho Imminence of this dlro
possibility there has been a sad shak
ing of hoads. Active and persistent
dinner-givers In tho diplomatic, cab
inet and senatorial "sets," as well as
among tho merely rich people, who In
Increasing numbers aro making Wash
ington a placo of resort In tho winter
months, havo found Mr. Roosevelt's
"nlco young men" almost a necessity
u making their social plans for enter
tainment nnd amuseniont.
In any ovont, It Is realized that tho
tennis cabinet, an such, Is doomed.
It will dissolve Into Its constituent
elements and fade away from tho
Rcono of Washington activities, social,
political and sporting, after Mnrch 4
next.
Whether Mr. Tnft or Mr. Hryan Is

of the executive ofllces seems certain
to becomo onco more a flower bed

might bo thought that tho amount
actually manufactured must have been
grentcr In tho earlier year. This, how
ovor, would bo n too hasty Inference,
for It Is almost wholly among mills
of small Individual output that tho
gain In tho nuinbor of establishments
reporting has boon mado.
IJeforo tho year closed tho genornl
business doprcEslon was sovorcly felt
In tho lumber Industry. It was not,
however, tho most Important cauao
of a falling off In tho production of
tho year whore a falling off occurred.
For decllno In production took placo
only In certain regions. Tho south Is
tho region of greatest activity In lum
ber production, nnd yollow pine tho
most Important wood, forming 33 per
cent, of tho entire cut of tho country.
Tho cut of yellow plno roported shows
an Increase of 13 por cont. over that
of 1900. In tho early part of tho year
many of tho southern mills cut bo
heavily that, In splba of tho curtailed
output which followed tho business
dlsturbnnco lator, tho total was groat
or than ovor before. But In both tho
lako states ami tho northwest a
Binallor cut was roported than for
1908, though tho number of mills re
porting lncrenaod.
Recalled by Death
A few years ago Lord Sackvlllo
croatod a sonantlon by publishing n
pamphlet, for pilvato circulation
among his friends, la which ho vindi
cated his diplomatic work In tho
United States. Tho nowspaporB ob

It Lord Sackvlllo explained with much
picturesque dotall that tho trap Into
which ho foil In this city was a Fonlan
conspiracy; that tho Fenian organiza
tion hnroBied him during his reslderico
In Amorlcn, kopt splos after him and
plottod to nBsasslnnto him. Fow ol
tho diplomat's friends took this story
sorlously. Most of thorn regarded it
as tho Imaginings of a disappointed
old man who was brooding upon what
ho considered his wrongs.
Tho mlnlstor was given his pass
ports by tho profildont nftor his recall
had boon roquestod by tho American
government, which roquost was not
acted upon by tho Urltlsh government.
Tho occasion of tho diplomat's dls-

tho ro-oloctlon of Clovoland. This let

"I hov accomplished th' fust sano

ho, "nn' It was owln' to my llvln' bo

"About th' InsanoBt day o' Independ

when I was with th' army of Invasion
bcarln' down on Cuby. Th' two trans

fur further orders.
"Shore leave? Nuthln' doln'. But
th' mornln' o' th Fourth erlong como a
Btnff officer an' ast for a volunteer

o' sogers stopped forrard an' every
body sworo ho cud row n boat. So th'
lieutenant picked out me nn' Huck nn'
West nn' my brother's son Hill ns

cause wo' was th' biggest men In th'

a nwful swell front with his fourt-oarcd
galley before th' admlrln reg'ment. Th'
on'y thing th' ship captain wud give
us was a old jolly boat, which for
gracofulness wud hov mndo a river
scow look like a eight-oared racer.
"Wo all got Into th' ql' punt an th
Bailors lowered us Into tho water.
Then wo cast loose th' tacklo an was
afloat on th' wide an' lonosomo sea.
" 'Port stroke ahead,' says Hart.
" 'Moanln mo?' asts West. Then ho
mado a dab at a passln' wave, missed
It by three foot an' laid down on his
back an' stuck his now loggia's Into
th' nlr.
"'Prlvato West,' soz th' lieutenant,
'you sed you cud pull a good oar.'
'"I kin,' bcz West, 'but this don't
seem to bo a good oar.'
" 'Wofs th' mattor weth It?' ,v
" 'Th' blame thing wan't long enough
to reach thet wave,' sez WeaL
" 'Well,' sez th' lieutenant, 'th next
wave you want to hook to, p'lnt It out
nn' we'll hold It fer you.'
"Jes' then Buck's oar disappeared
tinder th' boat nn' como up on th' other
side In a mos' astonlshln' manner.
"Bill, who bed ben a caution to

seemed to bo tryln' to sound th' depth

"I hedn't had no accident fer th'

"Wo finally got goln', ev'ry feller fer

a single-footer horso sprlntln' through

"W'en th lieutenant got whero ho
wnnted to go, ho tol' us to row round
fer a spell an' practice up, so we cud
tako him back In kind o' decont style.
"Wo thought It would be good prac

only about three mllo nwny. So wo
started. Th' wind an' tldo was In

In th' center o' th' Heet th' whole

"Ez soon oz I cud pick myself up I

" Olt down, you loon,' sez Bart.
'It's 12 o'clock an' they're flrln' th' na

"'Jes' then th fleet fired again an'
I got down. I mos furglt wot th' na
