years as secretary TO the American
legation at Vienna. He was trans
ferred to London in 1884 as second sec
rotary of the American legation and in
1886 he was made secretary to the lega-
ton there, being recalled by President
Cleveland in 1893. He returned to Lon
don as secretary to the embassy in
1897 and remained until 1905.

bOunties.
