 Yehonala's Loot -- Monday, Aug. 06, 1945 -- Page 1 -- TIME

Her rivals had won the dying Emperor's signature to papers granting them regency over the infant heir, but without the seal's imprint the documents were invalid.
But if it is truly the lost seal (as Chinese Consul Kiang Yi-seng and the Museum's Director, Dr. Richard E. Fuller, believe it to be because of the references to Hsien Feng deciphered from its characters), chances are that it came to the U.S. some time after the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.
