SCANDALS.
Washington Excited over Scandals Among the
DIPLOMATS

Diplomats.
A Washington dispatch says the diplomatic
circles are much agitated over seneation that
has developed within the last few weeks One
of the last official acts Of blr. Blaine was to ask
the St. Petersburg government to recall Mich
ael BsrthOlomei, the Russian envoy extraordin-
favorable response to his request, and Mr..
Bartholomci will leave for St. Petersburg the
10th OF January. The reason given for the
that caused the recall Of q former Russian min
lister. Catscazy Mr.. Bartholonlei came here
from South America last year, bringing with
L4m the lady who is now the heroine OF this
international episode ltis also SAID that the life
OF the Russian minister here has been in
many ways scandal. It is said that he has
incurred debts that he will not pay, and in many
other ways abused the confidence reposed in
him. For these and diverse diplomatic reasons,
Blaine asked for his recall.
This eensation threatens to be followed by an
other. A representative Of another European
government has created something Of stir by
bringing here ali Italian woman who is said by the
gossips to have been lis mistress for several
years and py whom Ee has had two or three
children This second minister has not made
the mistake OF attempting to introduce his fair
friend Into society as his wife, and it is barely
possible that his peculiar relations with this
woman may be overlooked for o time ut Least
There never was 3 time in Washington u hen
the diplomatic people were in such bad repute
as they are at presen.. It is eaid that the in
ltiatiVo in tho movement made to have Barthol-
omei recalled came from Mrs Blaine.

Firet-We believe that the only commercial
policy which can be made permanent is un-
changeable, and therefore consistent with sta
biIity in al kinds Of business, absolute free
trade.
Second-The only tax on imports which should
ever be collected by free trade people is tariff
for revenue only.
Third-That the greatest burden now borne
by the American people is the unjust, unequal,
iniquitous system of tsxation called protective
tariff. We therefore demand that the removal
OF import duties be steadily continued uotil
every protective feature is eliminated.
