WASHINGTON, Sept. Sat the con-
clusion of the dinner given in honor
of Ii Hung Chang last evening, Mr..
Foster made a few remarks express
ing the great pleasure of the company
at Lis visit to the United States and
regretteing that his public and urgent
duties made his stay so short. The
viceroy responded as follows:
I'm acknowledging the hospitality
extended to me by my old friends, the
Hon. ]. w. Foster, l have to thank him
for according me an opportunity be-
fore my departure from the capital of
this country to renew once more the
sincere expression of my gratitude and
thankfulness to the American govern
ment and citizens for the welcome and
reception offered to me as the repre-
sentative of my august master, the
emperor of China, and the persona
fication of the Chinese empire Since
the establishment of our treaty rela-
tions there have been evidences of
good fellowship between our countries,
but all the evidences, dare say, have
now been eclipsed by the cordially
and warmth displayed by the American
government and citizens in my well
come. -u
Though l regret that my time does
not allow me to make as long a So
journ in this country as l wish, in order
to appreciate more fully the accom-
| plishment and the progress OF the
United States of America as a nation,
cannot help, during my brief visit
! here, being struck and impressed by
the liberty and freedom enjoyed by the
people; by the welfare and prosperity
in the agricultural industrial and COM
mercial pursuits, by the characters
/ llCo III lltCll SldS5lSdl, AlSlOl iS1ls PAIlO-
sophical and poetical literature; by the
manner of application of the scientific
| discoveries and inventions for promot-
| ing the happiness of mankind, and by
the display of their artistic taste in the
architecture of the buildings, the sculp-
| ture and painting of historical figures
and facts which my old friend, Hon.
John W. Foster, has been kind enough
| to show me- These impressions | will
carry home, not only as approximations
to my store of knowledge of the fruits
of western modern civilization, but as
the means of enlightening the millions
l represent, facilitating the introduce
ton of these very means and ends of
civilization into China, and amalga-
mating the old civilization of the ex-
IRENE west
Il have only one word to add, that
the Hon j. w. Foster, in his manifold
abilities, has to me rendered most val.
liable assistance in China's most criti-
cal moments. America, whether as a
government or as an individual, is to
China friend in need, so he is to her
a friend indeed So, gentlemen, pro-
pose toast to friend to China
