At Tangier the house occupied BY our
representative has been for many yearu

been given for that purpose in 1922 By
the sultan of Morocco. approve the
suggestion heretofore made that in view
of the conditions of life and administers
ton in the eastern countries, the legs1lon
buildings in China. Japan, Cores, Siam
and perhaps Persia, should be owned
and fun nished by the government with Q
view to permanency.

GRITTY be given to accept the gifts advert
ed to in Japan and Siam, and to pur.
chase in the other countries with bro.
vision for furniture and repairs. A CON
siderable saving in rentals would result.

FOREIGN ART.
Past congresses have had under con.
sideration the advisability of abolishing
the discrimination made by the tariff

subjects to high rate of duty the paint
ings OF foreign artists, obstructs the pro-
duction of American artists residing
abroad, who receive gratuitously sdvan-
tages and instruction, is visited upon our
citizens engaged in art culture in Europe,
and has caused them with practical una
MIN ity to favor the abolition of such
ungracious distinctions and in their in
terest, and for other obvious reasons
strongly recommend it,
