ABSENT DIPLOMATS.
Many Members of Embassies and
Legations Not Here.

With the departure Of NJ. Cambon, the
ambassadors of France, Germany and Italy
will be abroad, leaving only Great Britain
and Russia with their ambassadors in
Washington. This exodus toward Europe
at the time of the meeting of the peace
commission at Paris has given rise to re-
ports that there was some significance in
the trips, although it is said at the several
embassies that no political considerations
are involved. Count Cassini. the Russian
an bassador, will return this week frcm an
extended summer vacation. There has been
no confirmation of the press report that he
would be transferred to the Russian en-
bassy at London. and it is concludeS that
Count Cassini will remain here.
Ambassador Fava of Italy is taking a
long vacation at Rome, and is not expected
back to his post here before next Decem-
Der, at which time it Is probable that Bar
oness Fava. who has spent much time
abroad in recent years, will return with
him. The presence of the ambassador at
Rome also will give opportunity for per-
sonal conference on the Cerruti case which
recently promised a serious rupture be-
tween Italy and Colombia, and which, ac-
cording to late advices has led TO sever
ance of diplomatic relations between the
two countries.

THEY LIKE OUR BUTTER.
Promising Market is Indicated in
Paraguay.


Consul Rufin, at Ascension, reports to
the STATE Department that appearances in
dicate promising market for American
butter in Paraguay. There is very little of
that commodity to be found in Paraguay,
although everyone likes it and wants it.
The scarcity may be due to the small
number of dairies and factories. There are
no butter factories in the country, and all
of the dairies are located in the small town
of San Bernardno, whose population is al
most exclusively German.
During the year 1897 there wers intro
duced about 900 pounds, mostly from
Italy, coming in pound cans. The small
Importation would seem to be due to the
fact that no attention is paid to the butter
trade. The butter produced in the coUn-
try is retaied for thirty-five or forty cents
gold per pound.
The duty on imported butter is 90 per
cent ad valorem, and the revenue collec ted
from this source last year amounted to
Si2l gold.
The best butter to be found" says the
consul, comes from the German colony at
San Bernardino; that which is imported
what is made by our American butter fac
tories. The superior quality of the Amer-
can butter would insure it's rapid sale.
Butter is but little seen on tables geEer-
ally, and those hotels which use it charge
extra for it Let any butter manufac turer
cater to the whims of the people by pIac-
ing on their small cans picture cf the
president of Paraguay, or that of some of
thu leading statesman and an old historic
house or two, which would catch the eye
Pof the people and cause it to be talked
about. This would give popularity to the
American brand, and ought to lead to quick
and profitable sales. Nothing of this sort
exists in the country.
