WILL NOT 60 ABROAD
FOREIGN DIPLOMATS TO SUMMER
IN THIS COUNTRY.
Precedent Of Many Years Broken
Reasons Why the Innovation
Has Been Adopted.

For the first time in many years the
United States will be the summering place
of all the ambassadors and ministers ac-
credited to Washington, with one impor-
tant exception-the absence of Baron May
or des Planches, the Italian representative.
He will go abroad early next month, not
so much with the intention of resting, but
to help the Italian officials to study the
emigration problem and the extent Of the
new laws passed by the recent American
Congress. His visit, being quasi-ofhcial,
takes only his person away from this coun-
try, while his high Office will be looked
after by him.
The several powers, recognizing the some
what delicate International conditions ex-
listing today, have deemed it necessary to
retain their chief counselors in the coun-
try which holds the longest string. 1t was
declared by several diplomats at different
times that no better compliment could be
paid President Roosevelt than to have them
near him this summer, when he may need
any one or all of them for important con-
ferences.
Austrian Ambassador Acting Dean.
Baron Hengelmuller, Austrian ambassa-
dor, has not yet completed his plans for the
summer. but 1t is presumed the hot months
will be passed by him and his staff in New
Mayor des Planches. he will be acting dean
of the diplomatic corps, which would mean
that in case of need the President will de-
pend upon the acting dean for the arrange
ments Of bringing the diplomats together.
M. des Portes de la Fosse. counselor of
the French embassy sailed for France not
many weeks ago, with the intention of re-
turning in time to give NJ. Jusserand an
opportunity to go to Paris by July, but 'ac-
cording to present indications M. Jusserand
hoe Tod ,1on in,
what the Presidents wishes are. As the
two are close friends and are in the habit
Of discussing state matters, over the cry
of forty love- at tennis, 1t will be no
wonder If M. Jusserand remains here
This supposition is given credence by a
prominent American official for the reason
that Baron Speck Won Sternburg, German
ambassador, left this country month or
SO ago to rest abroad, and be again with
his confreres here In July. According to
information. the tariff duels between Ger
many and this country and the latter and
France, which seem to take on more seri-
Gus proportions. must be considered by ex-
perts. and France would not care to take
away NJ. Jusserand and leave the field en-
tirely In Germany's hands. AS French and
German commercial interests with the
portance than those between any other
countries, England excepted, the reason for
these changes in plans Is obvious.
Brazil. as yet, has not chosen a summer

Mr.. Nabuco. the ambassador, who was alb
sent many months last year, will go north
for his vacation. and thus cover two
points at the same time-give Mr.. de
Amaral a chance to get away, after nearly
three years Of uninterrupted work, and to
take charge of the coffee and steamship
TRANSPORTATION questions. The tariff law
enacted at the session of the Brazilian con-
gress in December last Is important to
the United States because 1t continues in
effect until a new law is passed all the
preferential concessions in favor of certain
products, Now, the new law will not be
