and Germany quickly followed, the
dean of the corps was always the min
lister who had seen the longest term of
service here. and the dean now is the
English ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. AS dean he takes the lead at all
official functions; foreign ministers call
upon him first, and in matters in which
the whole corps is interested he is con-
suited first. When the ambassador first
appeared in Washington society there
was good deal of surmising about the
matter of precedence at dinners, and
for seme time 1t was a much-discussed
question, but It has settled itself with
out much difficulty, and nothing is ever
heard about II now. In the early DAYS
OF the republic the question of etiquette
became of sufficient Importance for the
secretary Of state, Mr.. Adams, to adj
dress n letter upon the subject to the
president, but it was never settled.
Years of precedent have, however,
given a certain fixity to the etiquette
here, which is much more rigid than is
generally supposed by those who have
not lived In Washington long enough to

DIPLOMATIC ETIQUETTE.
The Question OF Rank ~ Settled In the
Early Days of the Republic.

The Question of Rank as Settled In the
Early Days of the Republic.
Thirty nations are represented at
Washington by four ambassadors and
twenty-siX ministers, each of whom has
anywhere from one to sixteen secretaries
and attaches to carry on the necessary
business. So far as work is concerned,
the duties Of the foreign representative
are not onerous, and are largely social,
says the New York Tribune. He sends
dispatches to his own government and
occasionally addresses communications
to the secretary of state. Whether
these communications be on matters of
international interest or are simply a
request to be allowed to land few
cases of wine, household effects, or q
trunk full of fnery for his wife, they
are known as notes" He is not per-
mitted to transact any business with
any officer of the government except
through the secretary of state or other
high officers of that department, and it
would be a great breach Of etiquette
for him to address the president per-
Bonally upon any official matter. The
code Of diplomatic etiquette 10 strictly
followed.
The foreign representative makes the
first call upon the members Of the cabi-
net, but is called upon by the senators.
The only members Of congress officially
recognized are the members Of the house
committee on foreign affairs, In whose

The False Charge Against His Char
acter. a. And His disciples asked
Him, saying" This question grew out
of the fact that it was the common
opinion among the Jews that every
trouble and misfortune was the direct
result of some special sin. "Who did
sin, this man, or his parents?'
The disciples question brings up the
old question discussed by the friends of
Job. They assumed that all suffering
is punishment of sin, for how can a
just God send suffering upon the good?
To do so would be rank injustice.
What! punish the innocent? For Job
to declare that he was innocent, while
suffering SO bitterly, was to charge God
with injustice. There is this truth in
their argument, that sin always results
in suffering, and that some suffering is
the fruit of sin. But the belief that
every affection is the direct punishment
for some special sin, and that we can

became a law last March, was presented to

Doned for future convention to settle.
1t is usually possible in advance of con-

as to the outcome of an election. but In the
present case 1t Is anything but an easy task
to say who stands the best chance of being
chosen as the first bishop of Washington.

Minority Candidates.

porter this afternoon that the names of the
three men, DR.. Lindsay, DR.. johnson and
DIR. Vibbert had been fixed upon in eau
Gus of the minority held last evening, and
that in his opinion they were likely to fight
for one Of the three to the end. Which
will receive their support in convention
viii; probably depend upon which one seems
likely to command the greatest number of
votes from the other faction in case of a
compromise. With one thing and an
other the sessions which begin tomor-
row will be fraught with good deal
of interest. 1t is more than likely that a
merry parliamentary war will be started
when it comes to the election of a standing
committee, for it is then that the question
whether two-thrds vote or a majority
vote is needed. This will probably precipi-
tate the question of the constitution.

because he was found lettering about Ben

the man because he had no means of sup

a farm wagon and got lost when he started
to walk home. He was held for eNamina-
