LOOKING FOR REST.
Members of Diplomatic Corps Are
 Flocking to New England.

Boston, Aug 2.--Seekfng rest and
 distraction after their arduous winter
 and spring duties at the national cap
 itol, members of the diplomatic corps at Washington, for many years
 have come to New England in large
 numbers during the summer months. This year has been no exception and
 midsummer finds no less than eight
 of the leading embassies and minis
 tries established temporarily at
 country or seaside resorts in Massa-
 chusetts. Maine and Rhode Island.
 The beautiful island town of Bar
 Harbor, long fashionable watering
 place has assumed decidedly diplo-
 matic tone this summer. for three
 foreign ministers are spending the
 vacation season there. Baron Von
 Hengelmuller, minister to the United
 States from Austria Hungary and
 dean of the Washington diplomatic
 corps, Constantine Brun. minister
 from Denmark and Christian Hauge,
 minister from Norway are enjoying
 the remarkable combination of moun-
 tain and seashOre found at Bar Har-
 Dor where cool breezes constantly
 blow across the island even in the hottest weather Baron Rosen,
 Russia's representative who during the Portsmouth peace conference last summer snatched many moments of relaxatior at the handsome summer cottage which he had rented at Mag nolia. Mass, returned to that place this year while Baron Speck von Sternburg the German ambassador is only a few miles away at Beverly Farms. Both of these places are fashionable resorts on the pictures que north shore of Massachusetts bay, within easy reach of Boston.
 Beverly Farms is also but a short distance from the quaint old sea- port of Marblehead. on which place the races between German and Amer ican yachts for the Roosevelt cup will occur next month. The at taches of the German embassy have been making frequent visits to Mar blehead since the preliminary trying out of the numerous American yachts which are anxious for a chance to in the big races was begun. and Baron von Sternburg himself has manifested much interest fin matters.
 Baron Rosen has not visited Ports mouth this year and the secenes in and about that city are in marked of those of year ago when men of nationa land International including a very large of diplomats. thronged the hotels during the sessions of the peace conference. Not a single rep of foreign country is in | the vicinity of New Hampshire's only sea coast city this summer.
 Sir Henry Mortimer Durand. the l British ambassador. has made it an annual custom to go for hs vaca- tons to Lenox in the rugged Berk- shire hills region of western Massa- shusetts. There he takes a particular interest in various forms of outdoor port and gets much hard exercise in I :rieket and polo games in riding.
 The Chinese minister. Sir Chen Ing Liang-Cheng. is spending the summer at the quiet interior Massa- .husetts town of Amherst. where ne ,lso stayed for some time a year ago. His selection of this place arose from ] fondness for 1t which he gained xhie he was a student at Amherst 'ollege. of winch he is a graduate.
 Ambassador ]. ]. Jusserand of France is visiting his own country his summer. but the counsellor of he embassy. Mr Des Portes de La Posse. who is acting as charge d-af- aires. has established summer head quarters for the embassy at Newport.
 Altogether the number of repre- Ientatives of nations across the va- er who have yielded to the attrac- ions of Nev Englsnd's climate for he months of warm weather has sell Iom been exceeded.
