years" said he. He Is thoroughly cap
able and is intimately acquainted with
Diplomatic affairs" From tile other side of
the chamber there came similar sentiments,
Senator Blackburn avprring that General
Foster was perfectly equipped Tor the
place The New York World and other
Democratic papers of that character will
endeavor to make it appear that Foster
was at one time employed In diplomatic
capacity by the Chinese Minister TO draw
up memorials to the Secretary Of State,
protesting against this Governments treat
ment of Chinese immigrants. The friends
Of General Foster declare that he had
nothing to do with preparing these protests
Even If true. the fact Of his being employed
by the Minister as an attorney could hardly
be considered as reprehenslble.

graduated at the Indiana State University
in 1856. and after one year at the Harvard
Law School was admitted 20 the bar and

of Fort Donels0n he was promoted leu
tenaut-cOlonel aud subsequently was made
colonel Of the Sixty. fifth Indiana Mounted
Infanlry. Later he was appointed colonel
Of the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth In-
diana Regiment
During his entire service he was con-
nected with the Western armies Of Grant
and Sherman. He was commander of the
advance brigade of cavalry in BuTnSde's S
expedition 10 East Tennessee, and was The
first to occupy Knoxville in 1868. After the
war he became editor of the Evansville
journal, and in 1869 he was appointed Post
master OF that city.
He was sent as United States Minister TO
Mexico by President Grant in 1873, aud was
reappOinied by President Hayes in 1850. In
March OF that year he was transferred TO
Russia. and held that mission until NOyem-
Der. 1851. when he resigned to attend 10
private business. On his return TO this
country Colonel Foster established himself
in practice In international cases in Wash
ingt0n, ID. c.. acting IS counsel Tor foreign
legations before courts of commissions in
arbitratOns. etc.
President Arthur appointed him Minister
to Spain, and he served from February
1883, TO March. 1885, when he resigned and
returned to the United States, having nego-
tiated an important commercial treaty with
the Spanish Government. This treaty
elected general discussion and was strongly
opposed In the Senate. That body failed to
confirm il, and il was afterwaTd with
drawn by President Cleveland for recon-
sideratiOn. Some weeks later General FOs-
ter was instructed to return to Spain TO re-
open negotiations for a modified treaty
The mission, however, was unsuccessful
and he remained abroad but few months.
During the past two years he has been con-
nected in Ri advisory capacity in the Office
