AUBURN, n. Y, August s. 1893.
Last night the c0mmodiOus mansion OF the
Secretary of State was the rendezvous OF . select
party Of immediate friends and relatives. having
gathered to meet personally the members OF tho
Chinese Embassy. Mr.. Burngame was besieged on
all sides by everybody, while Mr. Brown took special
charge Of the ladies and Mr.. DeChamps entertained
a knot Of admirers by acting the medium Of con-
versatOn between the interesting Tajens and their
newly made friends. In very short time after tho
ceremony Of receiving the few persons who were
permitted to participate in this preliminary gather
ing was suspended, the Chinese students broke up
into small parties and under the direction OF the
delighted individuals having them In charge visited
seemed to participate in the feeling OF hospitality 50
literally displayed by Mr.. Seward, and the students
consequence much pleased with these
little excursions about the neighborhoOd. Wherever
they visited the citizens seemed to be holding
open house, and considerable parties OF friends
were also added to the household, giving
that portion OF the city surrounding Mr..
Stewards residence the, appearance OF
general festivity. Messrs. Fung and Teh, having
the advantage OF their associates in the fact of their
speaking English, were in demand and received the
special attentions of the ladies'. The others had to
rely upon the announcement and uncertain method OF
communicating their views in pantomime.
At Mr.. Stewards the Tajens held sway In the De-
noby, considering the fatigues OF the day, and took
particular pleasure in entertaining every one by
returning compliments and receiving the same with
all the polish OF Western cOurtier sun, how

amusement and quietly slipped out or the
way. More than an hour elapsed before he was
missed. When 1t was discovered that he was not

securing every hole and corner IN the grounds sur
rounding the mansion. The search however, was
inefectual, and the report from each expedition
that the missing Tajen not 10 be 'und. The
lictude evinced was no compliment to the Ia en-
capable of taking care of himself. After considera-
BILE search 1t discovered that, growing fatigued
and drowsy, he withdrew in thorou ,hly diplomatic
way-that 49, without saying any thing and exchanged
the eXertOns incident to the entertainment OF visitors
for the peasura6ie sensations of sleep. Al an early
hour Mr.. seward whose age requires more repOse
than younger people, also rctred but the party kept
up until rather late.

State Chih expressed himself several times last
night AZ feeling very happy. To-day the Embassy
Will visit the Auburn penltentary and take o drive
