With the elections out OF the way,
the political leaders are turning their
attention to the important subjects Of
the tariff and Federal patronage. The
president finds wide diversity Of opin-
ion on the former question. 1t may be
confidently asserted that Hon. Serano Z.
Payne, chairman Of the Ways and Means
committee, Maj, Steel, Of the same com

tives, and senators Hanna, Aldrich,
Platt and Depew, all Of whom are OF
have recently been in Washington, con-
slider any change in tariff schedules un-
wise, and all the reciprocity treaties &C
far negotiated, imprscticable. On the
other hand, some OF the western con.
gressmen are clamoring for the reduc-
ton OF rates on certain schedules. Some
prominent republicans believe a reduc.
tion Of revenue should be accomplished
by decrease OF the internal revenue
taxes and still others say that with the
. .e1penses that the coming congress will
have TO meet, any redu ction Of revenues
will be iniudicious. In view Of the
character OF the men who oppose il. /
consider it safe to predict that there
will be no tariff revision by the 57th
congress.

The Baron and Baroness Won Hengel-
muller have returned from Vaterland
to the Austrian embassy While at
home last summer they dined with the
Emperor at one of his seaside resorts.
That mark of imperial favor is quite
rare and gives the ambassador upon
whom 1t is conferred special standing
among his brother diplomats. Many
ambassadors, but very few arnbassa-
doris wives (unless they happen to
have the proper amount of quarterings
to their escutcheo), are ever received
at the ceremonious and stately court
OF Austria, which, with the exception
of Spain, is the most rigid of all in
Europe, so far as etiquette is concern
ed. Baroness Hengelmuller. who is
second wife, and a remark
ably handsome young woman, being
with her from abroad another auto
mobile OF wonderful construction. She
already possesses two American made
machines, and is by far the best chauf-
feuse at the capital. Her automobile
customes, too, eclipsed anything else
of the kind in Washington for number
and elegance. The Baroness has be-
come so expert in handling the intri-
cate vehicles now in her possession
that she will enter the races at New
port next year, and for that purpose
has ordered two new machines to be
built--one in Paris, the other in Berlin.
After their completion they will be
shipped to this country and thoroughly
tested before being entered at New
port. The Baroness who is said to be
the best dressed woman In the corps
diplomatieque, was also measured for
a number of stunning" coats and
gowns TO be worn in her new autos.
Marquis Carbonari de Malaplni, ap-
pointed TO fill the place of Baron Fava,
who for nearly quarted of a century
has ably represented Italy at the
American capital, is the youngest man
of his rank in the Italian diplomatic
service. He is not stranger in Wash
ington. but served here three years ago
as Secretary of the Italian embassy,

accomplished manner are pleasantly
