middle of July, supervising the expert
ments in progress for preserving bait"
for the use of fishermen. Very little
headway Is made, but as to the ultimate
success of the undertaking there is no
doubt. The bait used is small fish called
"squid," and as il is necessary to keep
the preserved bait with certain degree
of freshness, which is exceedingly hard
to do, the experiments progress slowly.
The new silver certificates, authorized
by Congress, will be issued by the govern
ment at an early date. The plate for the
one dollar note has been engraved, and is
pronounced by all who have seen it the
most beautiful piece Of work executed at
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The plates for the 50 and $40 certificates
have not as yet been engraved.
The representatives of foreign govern
ments are little known outside of Wash.
ington. The Diplomatic Corps, however,
is an important factor in official life
here. There are twenty-five foreign lega'
tious, most of them occupying large and
finely furnished mansions. Every inn
portant country is represented, and with
their attaches, and large retinue of ser.
wants, the ministers enjoy distinction
entirely their own. The English minister
lives in a noble mansion, built by his
government on Connecticut avenue at
cost of 100000. The house has magnif-
icent parlors, dining rooms, and a large
ball. room, enabling the minister to dis.
pense his hospitality lavishly during the
Winter season. The French, German
and Russian legations give fetes. and their
mansions are the scenes Of brilliant balls
during the Winter, all of the ministers
being socially inclined. But the Chinese
and Japanese legations in point of curl.
ty lead the long list. The Chinese lega.
ton occupies Stewart CASTLE, fine man
sion facing on Dupont Circle, and in
which there is ample room for the grand
entertainments given by the minister
during the Winter. Itis furnished en-
tirely in the Mongolian style, and its
apartments are filled with rare and curiosi'
ous articles. The Japanese minister has
large residence, furnished strictly in
harmony with the style prevailing in his
country, and within its walls are many
quaint and beautiful articles. Many OF
the members of the Chinese and Japanese
legations remain in the city during the
Summer months, and often may be seen
riding about the streets at very late hours
on the hottest nights in search of cool
breezes, although in their loose and flow.
ing robes they look as if they were ex-
ceedingly cool and comfortable.
