Foreign Affairs will give him warning. and,
in extreme cases, his recall will be de-

lininarles. In case of conspiracy his ar
rest may follow. The right of self-defense,

prevails, even against the Minister'S special
privileges.
Fourthly-The envoy exercises judicial
authority with respect to members of the
legation; he has the first right to arrest
criminals within his jurisdiction and to in
vestigate unlawful acts committed. The
punishment is, however. reserved to his
own Government. He may also act as a
notary. Special treaties between the Gov
ernments of the civilized world and those
of several Mohammedan countries guaran-
tee to ENJOYS and Consuls Of the first
parties criminal jurisdiction over their
countrymen living in the state where they
are accredited.
Fifthly-The envoy is exempt from taxa
tion.
Paragraphs /, 2, 8 and 8 apply to all men,
bers of an envoy's official family.
Sovereigns and Governments are allowed
to accredit several ENJOYS at the same
court. as it Is also permissible to intrust
one envoy with the representation of sew
eral Governments.
An envoys credentials are nothing more
than a letter of introduction. begging the
sovereign or Government addressed to ad-
NIT him to audience. Unless the envoy be
accredited for certain period only, his
authority extends to the time Of his recall.
A change Of government does not affect It,
except where the credentials were ad-
dressed to a certain person, sovereign OF

of war, may temporarily interfere with the

Rastatt Envoy Murder Mystery.
The Rastatt envoy murder mystery has
been at last cleared up by the historian
Sybel. Its victims were two ENJOYS of the
first French Republic, killed. and third
dangerously wounded. These Ambassadors

joet. had been engaged in the framing OF

broke of negotiations. Tho rupture did
not. however, lead to war for some months
to follow. wherefore the Ambassadors con-
tlnued their labors at Rastatt with the rest
Of the Princes Of the German federation.
Austria opened hostilities in March. 1879.
and at the same time declared that she
could no longer respect Rastatt as neutral
ground. which was clearly against the law
of nations. as that town, then as now, be-
longed to Baden. Even when in the April
following Archduke Karrs army invaded
Baden territory and when his advantguard,
the Seeker Hussars. began to forage in
the neighborhood Of Rastatt, the Ambass-
adors didn't dream Of danger. as they con-
sidered themselves under the protection Of
the civilized world. However, when the
Austrians caught one of their couriers run
ming between Rastatt and the nearest
French town. Sulz, they decided to leave.
1t was agreed that they should enter upon
their Journey within thrice twenty-four
hours after April Is.
On April q. at noon, Sybel tells US, the
Colonel Of the Seeker Hussars received Or
ders to proceed to Rothenfels. He said at
the time: Its the dirtiest Job have ever
been engaged in" After arriving at Roth
enfels. the Colonel dispatched Captain
Burkhard's squadron to Rastatt. ordering
! him to occupy the town and command the
| Ambassadors to leave within twenty-fo four
hours.
The ENJOYS thereupon decided to go the
| same night, and so Informed Burkhard. but
when they came to the gate, found 1t in
| the hands Of the Hussars, who wouldn't
let them pass. They demonstrated, and the
Captain said it was all mistake. Next the
envoys begged for an escort. but this was
| denied them. on the plea that the road was
clear.
The ENJOYS consequently proceeded in
good faith. but their train Of eight coaches

confronted by q troop Of cavalry demanding
the name Of each vehicles occupant.

from the carriage and pounced upon him

The Hussars told the horriied wfveub

the same time they robbed all of their jew.

IN the course Of time accepted by the diff

became International and worldwide in its
scope.
Does This Apply to Chinnf
In 50 far as its provisions, virtues and
sentiments are the product and outcome OF

not be held to respect them as a matter
Of course or In toto. With them, notably
the people Of Asia, Africa and Au-traiia,
It is customary to insist upon the absolute
inviolableness OF envoys only; for the rest
the customs Of the country are taken into
consideration. Much depends also upon the
personality Of the envoy and on the Gov
ernment he represents. Very frequently
the envoy must make a position for himself,
and again his authority must needs be
upheld by military Intervention II neces-
sary.
Different Kinds of Envoys.
There are ENJOYS OF ceremony and en-
voys for the regular transaction OF busi-
neek
The drst-named are employed on certain
ceremonial occasions like coronations. royal
weddings. death. the installation of a new
ruler, etc.
Regular envoys are there for the purpose
Of voicirs the views and taking care Of tn.
interests of one Power at the court or seat
OF government OF another. This involves a
great mass of business.
ENJOYS Duties.
The ENJOYS must seek the acquaintance Of
all the leading characters at tho court IN
the MINISTRIES and IN Parliament; he must
study the methods pursued by these people,
those that are on the surface as well as
those that move invisible springs of action.
Furthermore, he must gain a thorough
knowledge OF the Government institutions
Of the country where he is accredited, and
Of the prevailing public and official opinion
and moods. The course Of political, dip
lomatic, military, financial and commercial
events must be like an open book 20 him,
but for their study he dare not rely too
much on the newspapers or on Information
casually picked up.
On the other hand, he has to look after
the interests Of the subjects or citizens
OF his own country In the one where he
acts as envoy; must prepare treaties, ar
range for loans and execute commissions
Of a personal or official character between
tho heads Of Government whom he repre-
cents and the one to whom he is accredited
respectively. Finally. his duties call for the
transaction Of business relating to political
or actual criminals
