the tribunal, representing all the civ.
ilized nations of the world, will adopt
some kind of n code to govern similar

Mr.. Foster has been counsel of the
Chinese legation in Washington for
twenty years, except during several in

by the Chinese at Pekin. Shortly after,
and several times since, the Chinese
Government has invited him to go to

fered him most tempting salary as his
remuneration. 1t Is the conviction of
the diplomatic colony in China that If
Mr. Foster had accepted the invitation
of the Emperor in 1896 the Boxer trou-

war between Russia and Japan would
never have occurred. That war was the
direct result of the Intervention Of Rus
