The Department of Foreign Affairs in the Chinese government.
      The Tsung-li Yamen, or Foreign Office, created by a
      decree of January 19, 1861, was in July, 1902,
      superseded by the formation of a new Foreign Office
      called the Wai Wu Pu, . . . with precedence before all
      other boards.                            --J. Scott
