Ii VISITS GLADSTONE.
They Enjoyed Each Others Company
Hugely-Sails for America Soon.

London. Aug. 1G.-The grand old man
of China. Ii Hung Chang. went to Ha-
warden this morning and paid visit
to the grand old man of Great Britain,
Mr.. Gladstone. The Chinese envoy drove
from Chester. where he was received
by Il guard of honor and was heartily
checrcd by the large crowds of people.
His interview with Mr.. Gladstone lasted
thrcc-quartcrS of an hour. They dis
cusScd through an interpreter, variety
of topics. and after enjoying tea were
photographed together. The veteran
statesmen seemed to enjoy each others
company.
Mr.. Gladstone told Ii Hung Chang
that he was glad China had generally
followed II system of free trade. Ii as
scntcd but said it had been found neces-
Sary to place some restrictions on the
merchants. The finances of China were
III Il condition to require great care. He
intended to do all within his power to
secure more railroads.
Mr.. Gladstone presented Ii Hung
Chang with a set of his own works, and
the Chinese envoy presented Miss Glad
stone with his photograph and some
packets of highly priced tea.
The Chinese statesman then proceed
ed to Barrowin-Furness to inspect the
ship-building yards and large iron and
steel works.

was quickly given to understand that
what would always live in their memory
and what would be spread broadcast
among their countrymen on their return
to China was the overpowering magniti-
ccnce of the Russian coronation cere-
monies, the irresistible appearance of
the German army and the undoubtcd
power of the British fleet, seen mt Spit
Head. when the Chinese envoy visited
the queen ut Osborne. The republican
simplicity of Lis reception in Paris did
not appeal to them. Doubtless the still

Referring TO the statement recently
made in the Weekly Sun. the Chronicle
this morning says that it imagines that
the Suns statement refers to an unim-
pOrtant extraditiOn treaty between the
Transvaal and Holland.
Continuing its references to matters in
Africa. the Chronicle says it is learned
that the British government has decided
not 10 stop at Khartoum, but to advance
eventually with the Egyptian forces to
Lado or Wadelai the object being to eff
feet junction with troops from Uganda,
thus being in position to dominate the
valley of the Nile, either from the north
or the south.
The Chronicle expresses the hope that
there is yet time to consider 50 tremen-
dous and perilous an enterprise

A TROUBLESOME STEAMER.

Washington. Aug. 16-The steamer
Laurada. referred to in the Madrid dis
patch, has figured frequently in the claims
made by the Spanish authorities that
American merchant steamers were en-
gagged in ilbustering operations.
In January last the then captain of the
vessel was indicted in the federal courts
of South Carolina, but was acquitted
after Il jury trial Frequent reference
has been made to the experience of the
Laurada at Mayport, Fla, in May last
The captain on that occasion failed to
take out health papers required by, law
and this led to the surveillance of the
Laurada by Spanish war vessel. 1t
was claimed that ten Cubans were To-
Gated on board and that quantities of
war material and dynamite were thrown
in the water after the Spanish war YES
sci put in an appearance. 1t was also
represented at the time of the appearance
of the Spanish cruiser that thirty men
were drowned, owing to the precipitous
haste in getting ashore to avoid appre-
hension. The Spanish authorities claim
that the United States had taken no pro-
ceedngs towards capturing the vessel or
arms, in accordance with the neutrality
laws. All the state department officials
were absent from the city tonight, so no
statement could be obtained from that
quarter.
