THE ELECTION.

The election for city officers passed off
very quietly yesterday. Avery light vote
was polled, and the strife for the several
positions seemed to end with the caucuses
and conventions. It is but justice to Mr.
Fay Smith to say that he accepted the re-
suit Of the Republican convention, and
early in the day posted notices at all the
polling places containing the statement
that no was not a candidate for Mayor,
and would not qualify if elected, and the
other candidates on the Democratic
ticket, with one or two exceptions, made
no effort whatever for an election. The
Republican ticket, therefore, had nearly all
the votes, and carried off the banner

legation have been very handsome affairs,
and largely attended. He is much attached
to his native country, and went home some
time ago really homesick. He dresses, as
will be seen, in the costume of this country,
as do also the attaches of the legation, speaks
English very well, and but for the fact OF
bis extreme ''plainneSs" SIS to face would be
rather an attractive gentleman. Colonel
Emil Frey, the Swiss Minister, has Just re-
turned from his home, where ne tried vainly
to force his resignation upon his govern
ment. They would not accept it however
and he has returned for time at least. He
is still anxious, however, to resign and re-
turn to the mountains of his native land.
He is spoken of as the most polished gentle
man in the diplomatic circle in Washington,
q handsome, courtly fellow, and popular
with those who know him. Senior Don Juan
Varleria, the Spanish Minister, is little known
here except by reputation, having been here
but few months He is 8 writer of broad
reputation however, and has gained some
warm friends from his agreeable personal
qualities during his stay here. He has q
better command of the English than had his
predecessor, whose success in New York less
than year ago will be we'll remembered.
The Municipalities of the diplomates are
not so strongly marked as would be supposed.
Few OF them omit TO speak English, and
none except the Chinese Minister and his
legation attaches dress in ether than the cos
tune of this country. On state occasions
they Of course appear in costumes indicative
of their ranF, or in some way relating to
their position, and the receptions at the
White House, the Inauguration balls and
other great events of this sort see your aver
age diplomatic perspiriDg under a load of
bright colored velvet, gold lace, and court
trappings, that are very pretty as a show but
extremely uncomfortable to the wearer.

tremely popular there, and his departure
greatly regretted. He is reputed careful,
conscientious officer, giving entire satistac-
ton to his government in the management
of its affairs in Brazil. He speaks the English
language fiuently.
The diplomatic circle n Washington is
pretty wide one, and very interesting to those
permitted to see the inside of it. 1t is exclu-
sive, clannish, except to the few who are
brought in contact with it either in official
or social relations. Your average diplomats

He can shine at social event as brilliantly
as the most favored, and can do as ample

from State occasions and formal events IN
which foreign names read well in the pub

here are little known except among them
selves. Their personal relations are mostly
confined to their own circle. "Your average

acquainted with their ways to your CORE
spoDdent, sis net nearly so much a social

There are three or four in the large diplo-
matte circle here who entertain largely, but

half dozen who give more than perhaps a
couple of entertainments a year. OF course

Zhe Spanish 1zfnister-The Representatives
From Switzerland and Japan-An
Interesting Letter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-One of the signs of
returning activity in Washington is seen in
the diplomatic world. The Swiss Minister
who rendered his resignation only to find it
refused, is back at his post; the new Ger
man Minister, who is to take the place Of
Count Won Eisendecher, has just arrived; the
new italian representative is on his way, and
the legations of the others are being put in
order In expectation OF their return. Baron
de Alvensleben is the new German Minister
His engraved card bears the words, 'Baron
de Alvenslebeu, Envoy Extraordinaire ct
Minister Plenipotentiare de S. Mp Emperor
de Allemagne ct Roi de Prusse.n Little is
known yet regarding the new German Min
ister, but if he fills the niche in the social
world that his predecessor, Count Won Eisen-
decher, filed, he will find his first winter in
Washington pretty busy. Few Of the diplo.
mates are so popular as was Mr.. Won Eisen-
decher, and few entertained so handsomely
as did he and his handsome wife. The new
Italian representative is Count Albert de
Forestrs, formerly Charge d'Affairs of Italy
in Brazil, but now transferred to the United
States and at present on his way to this
country. Accounts received here from
Brazil show him as having been ex-

if their inolinations led them in that direc-
ton. There are perhaps halt dozen whose
governments allow them q sufficient sum to
permit them to entertain largely. OF course
they go where they are invited, but they do
not expect to entertain lavishly in return,
This is about the key to the situation in
regard to the relation of diplomates TO the
social world OF Washington. The British
Minister, the Russian Minister, the German
Minister, the Minister from Sweden and
Norway do most of the entertaining. Even
the first and last mentioned of these do COM
paratlyely little. Minister West the British
representative, who has palace IN which to
entertain, gives no more than three or four
large entertainments during the year. His
allowance from his Government for this pur-
pose is ample but he apparently
does net enjoy this sort of thing.
The Russian Minister and his amiable and
accomplished wife entertain more elegantly
and frequently than any other Of the diplo-
mates. They have handsome home on X
street, one of the most fashionable residence
streets in the city, and their weekly enter
tainmenta last season were the marvel OF the
