Excerpt from Diplomatic Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 A reciprocity treaty with Canada was negotiated in 1854, which continued in operation for ten years and came to an end by limitation. Favored exchange of products with the Hawaiian Islands was established in 1875 by a reciprocity treaty, which remained in force up to the time of the annexa tion of the Islands to the Union, and was an important factor in bringing about that result.

Excerpt from Diplomatic Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 2 After canvassing the matter fully with my wife, we decided that, with our young family, a brief residence in Europe would be both pleasant and useful; and I informed the Senator that if it could be had I should be gratified to receive the appointment of Minister to Switzerland, which was in the lowest grade Of our diplomatic service. It will thus be seen that thirty years and more ago the diplomatic service presented the same allurement to inexperienced but ambitious young men as it seems to possess at the present day. Upon learning my choice, the Senator approved of it and assured me that I might count on receiving the appointment soon after the re-inauguration of the President, and that I might shape my business arrangements accordingly. But. During the course of the ensuing winter I received a tele gram from Senator Morton asking me to come to Washing ton. Upon my arrival at the capital I was informed by him that he had encountered some difficulty in securing the Swiss Mission for me; that the President had promised the friends of the incumbent that he might continue in the office during the coming term; but that he had offered to appoint me to the Mexican Mission.

Excerpt from My Mission to Russia and Other Diplomatic Memories, Vol. 2 Meanwhile tlie Emperor at the beginning of February had parted with Goremykin and appointed Stiirmer President of the Council. Stiirmer's grand father had been Austrian Commissary at St. Helena during Napoleon's residence on that island, and he had himself successively held the posts Of Director of the Ceremonies at the Russian Court and of Governor of Jaroslav. With but a second-rate intelligence, without any experience of affairs, a sycophant, bent solely on the advancement of his own interests and extremely ambitious, he owed his new appointment to the fact that he was a friend of Rasputin and that he was backed by the Empress's camarilla. I shall have more to say about him later on, but I may mention, as showing the sort Of man that he was, that he chose as his chef de cabinet a former agent of the okhmna (secret police), Manouiloff by name, who was a few months afterwards arrested and tried for blackmailing a bank.

Excerpt from China and Her People, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the Observations, Reminiscences, and Conclusions of an American Diplomat Such a book should be interesting and val nable. This, I am confident the reader will find, is both. The style of the author is most delightful, and in the purely memoir part he leads the reader into an understanding and an appreciation of the court life at Peking, and one cannot help feeling with him deep regret that the community of diplomats there is no more. His statement of the inner life and Spirit and aspirations of the Chinese people will be found most sympathetic and accurate. It is a pleasing and favourable view that the author takes of the Chinese people, and we ought to be thankful that their case is stated so well.
