have developed between John @. A.

and the Marquis de valdeterraxo. am

story that to-day made its rounds of
the diplomatic corps. The trouble
arises from Leishman's Indifference to
a lot of the diplomatic red tape that

be convenient for the Marquis to pay
his respects to him.

The Marquis according wrote. re-
peating his inquiry. No answer.
The Marquis called at all the other
embassies. but still no answer from
the American embassy. This made the
Marquis indignant--or worse. He used
the telephone and asked Leishman,
