SIR ROBERT HART HoNoRED.
Head of Chinese Customs Goes Home
After Thirty Years

The Department of State has made pub
lie the following edict just issued by the
Emperor OF China:
''Na-tung. director OF the revenue coun-
Gil, and the other officers of the said
council have this day memorialized the
throne to the effect that Sir Robert Hart,
inspector general OF the Chinese imperial
maritime customs. being in poor health,
desires leave of absence and they. pray
that this be granted. The memorialists
also request that Sir Robert Bredon
deputy inspector general. be appointed to
administer the office temporarily.
The inspector general has spent many
years of arduous effort in this position.
HIS success has been great and the coun-
try places very great value on his serv-
ices. The duties devolving upon him have
invariably been performed in the most
satisfactory manner. Wherefore. d
mark of our favor. and in order to honor
him pre-eminently. we bestow on Sir
Robert Hart the brevet rank of president
OF IA board. On Sir Robert Bredon We are
pleased to bestow the brevet rank of
treasurer of a province.
Respect this"
The edct will be seen to be highly COM
mandatory of Sir Robert Hart, who is
given the brevet rank of president of an
imperial board. The inspector general.
who expects to leave China in April or
past year. and although he says he hopes
"a return to China, there is a doubt wheth-
or lie will return. This is his first home
cave in thirty years. II appears likely
that Sir Robert Bredon will ultima eel
succeed Sir Robert Hart.
