result Of the Russo-Japanese war.
There are no ambassadors in the Japan
csc diplomatic service. but excellent
authority is had for stating that the
title would be conferred upon Mr..

here by diplomats that the minister is
in high favor with his government for
the shrewd manner in which he has
looked after the delicate negotiations
with this Government previous to the
