PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S REPLY.
Mr. Cleveland replied thus:
Your EXcellency: 1t gives me great
pleasure to receive from your hand the
personal letter from your august SOW
ereign and to greet you as his per-
sonal representative.
"Since our two countries became bet
ter acquainted many incidents have
occurred, calculated to increase our
friendly relations and not the least
gratifying of these are the friendly
expressions contained in the letter of
your Emperor and the visit to our
country of his most distinguished sub
ject, who has been so honorably and
prominently connected with public af-
fairs in his own country and with all
that has been attempted in the direc-
ton of its advancement and improve
ment.
Your visit to us at this time is
made more impressive by the thought
that it seeks to join in one suggestion
the most ancient civilization of the
East and the best type of a newer
civilization in the Western world.
Notwithstanding the widely differ
ent characteristics of the two cOun-
tries, the welcome which is rendered
you by the government and citizens of
the United States illustrates in the
strongest manner the kinship of the
nations. We feel that in the arrange
ment of your tour you have not al
lotted to your sojourn among us suffi-
eient time to gain an adequate obser-
walton of all we have accomplished
as nation. II will not, however, es-
cape your notice that rich and fertile
domain has here been quickly created
by those who were assured that they
would reap where they had sown; that
a strong and benefcent government
has been here established by those
who loved freedom and that we have
a generous and patriotic people who

tary, Lo Fang Lou, and at their con
clusion, the later interpreted them to
his celebrated chief.
President Cleveland, who seemed
deeply interested in his distinguished
visitor, made graceful bow of recog-
milton to the Earl and smiiingly eX-
tended his hand which was grasped
by Iii. They smiled at each other for
a moment, after which Earl Iii began
the following address to the President:
III HUNG CHANGES ADDRESS.
''Your Excellency: 1t affords me
great pleasure to have the honor to
be presented to Your Excellency. The
reputation of your highly esteemed
virtues are well known throughout the
world and in you the citizens of the
United States of America have IN
variably placed their confidence; con-
sequently both the interior administra-
tion and the exterior relations of this
great Republic are in state of pros
perity.
1T will always be the desire of my
august mGster, the Emperor of China,
to maintain the most cordial relations
with America, whose friendly assist
ance rendered to the government of
China after the China-Japan war, and
whose protection for the safety of the
Chinese immigrants in America are al
ways to be highly appreciated.
