Persian minister, however. attracted
most attention. He is the first repre-

US. The line was headed by Count
Favia, Italian minister, the oldest in

those in attendance. It was e1
planned that Mr.. Preston, the
Hayti minister, who is dean of the
corps was prevented from taking his
accustomed place at the head of the
line by reason of pressing business
which required his presence in New
York. Secretary Bayard presented the
diplomates to President and Mrs. Cleve-
land and then departed to his residence
to preside at a breakfast given IN their
honor. He left the White House in
company with his daughter, and Colonel
Wilson and Lieutenant Duvail then
took places near the President and
Mrs. Cleveland, and

Rear Admiral Rusnell and Commodores
Walker, Sicard. Melville, and Colonel
