and is still enjoying the not unusual luxury Of
free lunches and free rides. with compaccncy

Administration who has ever visited this cOnst
he naturally attracts attention. When Don Cam
cron was here ne n member Of the Cabinet Of n
President chosen by the people but little atten-
ton was paid to him; and that notwithstanding
the added circumstance that he was accompanied
by the General Of the Army. Even as write
that same General Ia stopping ut Of the hotels
Of the city; yet. but for the brief local para
graphs in the morning newspapers announcing
his arrival. his presence would be- unknown.
Yet Keys movements are noted with the mnut-
est details receptions greet him right and left :
adulnton and nattcry fall to his lot at every
turn; speech making Is freely INDUCED in. and
more fuss IL made than WAS made over Chin
Ian Pin and his suite on their arrival.
And. hy tho way, speaking Of suites. reminds
mo that Key holds his own. even with the rep
rsscntgtive of Oriental MAJESTY and authority.
