that everything was not lovely and
promising at home. The count Is dean
Of the diplomatic corps, a position he
has occupied since the death Of the late
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor, and he maintains that position
with dignity and fills all the require
ments, social and otherwise, in perfect
style. He is deferred to by other diplo-
mats in matters involving the etiquette
Of the corps, and when concerted action
Is necessary in any public function
Count Cassini exercises his preroga-
tives and is accorded the respect and
Difference of his colleagues.
The nearest the count has come to
exhibiting uneasiness or disturbed
feeling was when newspaper CORE
spondent recently attributed to high
Russian official in this city expressions
regarding the st. Petersburg riots and
the internal affairs of Russia that vir-
tually amounted to treason. Ordinarily
fmpervious to newspaper comment and
criticism, Count Cassini could not stand
for this, and he Immediately charac-
terized the reported Interview as false.
The newspaper correspondent retorted
by Offering to publish the name of his
informant II Count Cassini would give
him written permission to do so. The
Russian ambassador Immediately &C
cepted the challenge and sent a writ
ten authorization to the newspaper cor
respondent and asked that the name
be published. This the latter did not
do, whereupon Count Cassini again ap-
peared In the public prints, character
izing the correspondents statement as
false and the correspondent himself as
falsifier. The language used was
hardly diplomatic, but 1t failed to re-
veal the identity of the high Russian
official whom the correspondent repre-
sented as uttering the treason. The
count declared that the correspondent
never had any such interview, and
there the matter rests.
