Washington Correspondence; The
story is going the rounds here that the
Chinese minister, with his interpreter
called at the house of MIR. Frelinghuy-
sen day or two ago when Miss Frel-
inghuysen offered him a cup of tea. The
minister drank the tea and remarked
very eoolly: 1t is of medium quality,
| willsend you some that is really me =
The next day she received, with his COM
piiments, two pretty boxes of tea and a
pair OF vases of exquisitely carved wood.
The diplomat afterward explained that
only Chinese grandees get the best
quality of tea. Foreigners may pay
what they choose, but they cannot get
anything above second grade.
