M. Komura's note shows that Japan's conception of the object of the proposed meeting in nowise coincides with that of the Russian Foreign Office, the limitedness of which causes some misgivings in diplomatic circles in St. Petersburg, and it is felt that if the present attitude of Russia is maintained the movement will lead to nothing; others regard the attitude as a natural endeavour to avoid an impression that Russia has deter mined beforehand to accept Japan's terms.

It was while she was visiting her, brother at Chefoo, that she obtained the commission Francis Carl, commissioner of Chinese customs to paint the portrait. The arrangement of the detalli involved considerable difficulty owing to the intricacies of the imperial etiquette.
