reception on the part of both Emperor and
Empress. Mr.. Hunt approached the imperial
group followed by the members of his mis-
sion and Admiral Baldwin and staff. and on
presenting them congratulated his Majesty
in the name of the President and people Of
the United States He said that the govern
ment had in this instance created what was
nprecedented-a special mission-and the
President having done him the honor to
make him chief thereof, he was glad to be
able to express the satisfaction and sincere
interest which his government took in main
tanning the relations of good will and
friendship which had always existed between
the two countries. The Car answered
that he believed it was the only instance
where the United States government had ever
created such mission for such an occasion;
and felt extremely gratified at the evidence
of friendiness which was manifested by it.
Minister Hunt added that he believed that
the only naval representation at the Moscow
fetes was that of Rear Admiral Baldwin, who
had brought his flagship around to Cronstadt
and had come in person with his staff to offer
his congratulations to his Majesty on the part
of The navy.
Another circumstance which your impe-
rial Majesty may not be aware of, " continued
the Minister, "is that when the guns of Mos
COW announced to your peple that your
Majesty's coronation was happily accom-
plished they were answered gun for CUR, by
order of Rear Admiral Baldwin from his flag
ship at Cronstadt" Listening to this, the
Empress appeared much delighted. rs that

for some moments-lopger, indeed than
with any other person in the ball After the
reception to the members of the diplomatic
corps the Empress passed round to the ladies,
who formed group on one side OF the apart
