of the diplomats might now be
compiled. Since Congress has ad-

will be established at various sea-
side and mountain resorts, with
Newport and the North Shore

he expects to spend the greater part
of the summer on this side Of the
water. Signor Catalani, the second
counselor of the embassy, and Sig
