Bryce to Quit British
Post at Washington
viii Leave First of Year and
Successor Is Said TO Be
Sir Henry Howard

LONDON. Dec. s.-A letter was post
ed today addressed to James Bryce,
British ambassador in Washington. re-
questing his presence in London. 1t is
expected that he viii come early in the
new year for consultation with the
government authorities. principally in
reference to the relations between the
United States and Japan.
1t Is believed there is little Iikeli-
hood that he will return to the Wash
ington post In case he does not his
successor. it is understood. viii be Sir
Henry Howard. present minister to the
Netherlands. stationed at The Hague.
In explanation of this action by the
authorities. it is said that Ambassador
Bryce never contemplated a long resi-
dence in Washington and named a year
as the possible limit of his service. The
British authorities, for obvious reasons,
are extremely anxious to maintain
good relations with the United States
and Japan, and if Bryce should insist
on retiring they will send man OF
wide diplomatic experience to handle
the difhcult and delicate situation
which might possibly arise.
LONDON. Dec. s.-The Tribune to-
morrow will assert that the reports
that Ambassador Bryce viii return
from America and will be succeeded by
Sir Henry Howard. minister at The
Hague, are without foundation.

Though no warrant had
been sworn out for Walker,
it was thought best to keep
him in sight. The detectives
on reaching San Mateo sur
rounded the house where he
was supposed to be lying i'll,

a train for the south. A
