 thanks, especially for unvarying kindness and courtesy I Rnd the members of my legation have received from your excel lsncy and the high officers of the United States govrrnment residing here. These tokens of good will have given me much pleasure, because of my conviction that they were given to me es the representa- tive of the emperor and government of China, and that they indicate s desire to maintain the tles of friendship existing between China and the United States. This feeling IS most earnestly recipro- cated by the government of China, and now in taking my final leave, permit me Mir. President. to offer you my eincere wishes for your health and happiness, and for the most abundant prosperity or the great people over whom you pre- side" The president replied: INT. Minister, 1t Is always a source of regret when kindly offices and personal reia- tions which have grown -p between this government and the representative of n friendly government are turned into new channel by his retirement, but the regret feel IS made deeper by the re- calling of your high personal qualities and the unvarying spirit of courtesy and good i'll yuu have infused into relations between your mission and this govern ment. The vast distance that separates China from the United States, together with remarkable diveTsitles in language, laws, customs and traditions, the two countries and their people have, not unnRturally, made it more trying and difficult to create and maintain at all times that clear and natural under standing so essential iu international intercourse, and TO one uore than your self has recognized the fact or sought more faithfully to overcome the difficult ties which have grown out Of race Jeal- ousy and competition, and rivalry ot labor. Irecoguize and thank you for your earnest efforts to create that good feeling between your country and my own, which I trust will continue to bear its good fruits to both nAtlopallties. When you return to your own shores accompanied by the most cordial respect and sympathy Of those who have known you during your stay with us, l beg that you will assure your sovereign, Snd cause your fellow cOuntrymen to know that I and my advisers truly represent the great body of our countrymeD ID proiessing our most cordial and friendly sentiments towards China and desire to conduct our commercial iDterchanges to a mutually satisfactory and benetcent end"
