Sir Julian is Now Dean.

One result OF the advancement Of Sir
Julian Paunccfote and NJ Patenotre to
the rank of ambassador will be the re-
organization Of the diplomatic corps in
Washington. Under the recent ar
rangement, the heads of all the foreign
legations were ENJOYS extraordinary
and ministers plenipotentiary, and be-
ing of equal rank, they took precedence
on state occasions in order of their Sc
niority.
Under this rule, Baron Fava, the
Italian minister, has been for several
years dean of the corps, and while he
was absent on leave last year, Minister
Romero, of Mexico, second on the list
in seniority of appointment, acted in
his stead. Ambassadors, however, out
rank ministers and ENJOYS, and Sir Ju-
liam becomes dean by virtue of his rank,
followed by NJ. Patenotre. The recog-
milton of Sir Julian Us dean occurred at
the British legation last evening, when
Il number of his colleagues called to
congratulate him upon his promotion.
At the time he was engaged with Bar
Fava. The latter, learning OF the paes-
ence of the other ministers, said to Sir
Julian: Come with me-" Arm-in-
arm, Sir Julian accompanied the Baron
into the reception room, and was there
introduced by Baron Fava as the new
ambassador from England, and the flu
tnre dean of the diplomatic corps in
Washington.
Another prominent member of the
corps said that in some capitals to which
ambassadors and ministers both were
accredited each grade had its own dean.
But separation of the two classes of
diplomats in Washington, it was felt,
might destroy the cordial unanimity
which had always prevailed in the
Washington corps, and Baron Fava's
request that no division be made was
agreed to.
One of the members of the corps dis
cussing the changes, said that the sew
eral first-class powers had tacitly agreed
among themselves that Great Britain
should make the first response to the
suggestion contained in the diplomatic
and consular bill, that the United States
would receive ambassadors to this
country. This was due, he said, to the
fact that the two nations spoke the
same language, and that the relations
existing between them are more init
mate, and the mutual commercial in
terests Of the two countries more ex-
tensive, than are those Of the United
States with any other nation.
The seven diplomatic powers which
maintain ambassadors at one another's
capitals will, he said, be soon repre-
sented at Washington by diplomatic
agents of that rank. There are besides
the two powers which have already
acted, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austro-
Hungary and Spain.

IT Is SAID that the President and the
members of his Cabinet are very tired
of the opportunities of Office seekers
1t is very natural that they should be,
but it is very unnatural that they
should not want to be relieved OF them
as soon as possible, as they apparently
seem to be. As the President has de-
termined not to call an extra session OF
Congress, there is nothing for him and
his Cabinet to do at present except to
remove republican office holders and
give their places to men who are in ac-
cord with democratic principles and
policies: and for Their own restand ease,
common sense would dictate that that
work should be done Immediately, and
not be procrastinated. The applicants
for Office should be told at once whether
or not their applications will be grant
ed. BY such a course second visits
would be avoided and both the office
seeker and the Office giver be saved
much trouble, and the former, much eN-
pense.

ExANDRIA, V A
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 81, 1898.

THERE NEVER was more complete
funk than that Of the democratic Sen
ators in the matter of the elective Off
ccs of the body Of which they are mem
bers. They have clear majority Of
that body. They metin caucus and NOM
mated candidates for the offices referred
to and determined to elect them in
place of the present republican incum-
bents, and thus, as some of them ex-
pressed it, give the White House an
object lesson in popular politics. Now
that was all right and was just what
was expected, and what they should
have done. But,unfortunately for them
and for their party, their acts do not
accord with their words; they manifest
the defect the leaders oftheir party have
acquired and developed since the war
the lack of moral courage-and when
the republican minority informed them
that they would oppose and fight any at
tempt to change the offices ofthe Senate
until the regular session of Congress
they followed the precedent set by the
coon that came down the tree at the
threat of the famous Captain Scott, and
said they would submit to minority die
tation rather than fight, and that, too,
though such fight would be for their

THE latest ou;giving Of the Postmas-
ter General is that postmasters will be
appointed on the size of the petitions
they present from the democrats who
are served with mail at their respective
offices. If this be true, Mr.. Bissell is
not wise man, for if he were, he would
know that anybody can obtain sig.
natures to petition for anything.
Signatures to petitions are costless, and
to ninety-nine people out of every hun
dred it is easier to sign one than to re-
fuse therebyrmake an enemy ofthe
man who asks them to do so.

A WEDDING IN THE PRESENCE OF
DEATH.-NIiss Matilda Van Ness Lon
ey, daughter of Colonel H. D. Loney
and of the Mrs. Anna N. Loney, and
First Lieutentent George Arthur linn,
corps of engineers, U. S. A., were mar
ried yesterday afternoon in Baltimore.
The ceremony was performed not only
with bride, groom, father and friends
in mourning, but in the actual presence
of the dead. Rev. DR.. ]. II. Eccleston
united the two by the side of the cof-
fined remains Of the brides mother,
and then the assembly of relatives and
friends, now funeral party, escorted
the remains to Emanuel P. E. Church,
where the same clergyman, turning
over but few leaves of the prayer
book, began the recital of the last of
fees of the church. The wedding of
Miss Loney and Lieutenant linn was
set for April 5, and the cards were
ready to be sent, but Mrs. Loney's
health failing and she becoming rapid
" worse she expressed most earnest
desire that the marriage take place
while she was alive, but when Lieuten-
ant linn reached Baltimore the first of
last week from his post at Fort Mon
roe, Mrs. Loney's condition was such
that her physicians did not deem it adj
visable to have the ceremony then per-
formed. Mrs. Loney continued to sink
rapidly, and died Thursday night.
Thereupon Col. Loney, in view of the
wish of his wife and its non-fulflment,
determined that the nearest now that
could be done towards fulfilling it was
to have the marriage performed by the
side of the remains of his wife before
they were forever hid from sight, and
this was accordingly done.

Attempt at King Humbcrt's Life.
L 1

Attempt at King Humbcrts Life.
An attempt to kill King Humbert
was made in Rome on Saturday even
ing by one Berardi as the King was re-
turning from the Villa Borghese, where
he had been spending the day. The
missile thrown by the would-be-assas-
sin missed its mark, and, before sec
ond attempt upon the Kings life could
be made, several persons rushed upon
the assailant and held him fast. The
assailant was promptly taken in hand
by the police and conveyed to prison !;
otherwise he would in all probability
have been killed by the angry multi
tude. He is said to he religious ia
matte. An immense crowd assembled
and cheered the King with frantic en-
thusiasm, and all the way to the pal
ace the scene was like a triumphal
progress. King Humbert gracefully
acknowledged the ovation and was
evidently deeply moved by the evil
dence of loyalty on the part of his sub
iects. The authorities have made in
auiries regarding Berardi's history and
have ascertained that he was sentenced
to imprisonment for seven years for a
murder committed a number of years
ago. In 1882 he was released from
prison and emigrated to America, the
authorities thinking that they had got
rid of him forever. Berardi, however,
recently returned to Rome, but his
presence did not attract attention.
He has pretended, since his arrest,
that his attention was only to insult
King Humbert. not to harm him, be-
cause the King declined to be recon-
ciled to the Pope. He also claimed
that he had been engaged in forming
missions for the liberation of slaves in
China. The police are trying to asce! :
tain whether he had any accomplices.
Two physicians have examined Be-
rardi, and have pronounced him in
sane.
