Oriental advices just received say
that the audience granted at Pekin on
July 70 by the Emperor and Empress
Dowager of China to John Barrett, COM
missioner general for the St. Louis
Worlds Fair, was notable. 1t was the
first time in the history of the Chinese
court that their majesties had received
any commissioner from foreign land
on similar mission.
At the conclusion of the addresses
the empress dowager, in violation of
all precedents, invited Minister Conger
and Mr.. Barrett to ascend the throne
dais, where she engaged them in a pri
vate conversation through an interpret
er. After asking many questions about
America, the President and the fair,
she said sthat China would take part
and send an imperial commissioner to
promote commercial and friendly re-
lations between the two countries. She
particularly requested Mr.. Barrett to
convey to President Roosevelt China's
deep appreciation of the generous at
titude of the United States toward that
country during the recent troubles.

prevailed until recently in Japan, resident
foreigners were exempt from taxation
on real estate held by them not in fee
simple, but under lease. When Japan
adopted new code and enjoyed full
trea relations she confirmed in these
treaties the ancient rights of foreigners
In this confirmation, in the form of
treaties, the japanese used the equivalent
to the words "real estate" in the
japanese sense, meaning, they claim,
nothing more than the land while the
powers, using the term in the common
law sense, held that it meant the land
and the house thereon. Under its
construction the Japanese government
sought to tax for municipal improve
ments the houses on foreign holdings.
The powers resisted this tax. The
United States government directed its
citizens to pay the tax under protest,
under an amicable understanding that
they should lose no rights thereby, and
if the decision of the arbitrators was in
favor of the lessees that they should
benefit equally with the citizens of other
powers.
