"Wo may felicitate ourselves be cause, in other days, in tho terriblo struggle for precedence between am bassadors on groat occasions, armod conflicts frequently occurcd. At lenst as Americans, we should bo con tent that no fatalities occurred among our representatives in tho wild scramblo for favors.
