of China, Count Ii Hung Chang. went to
Hawarden this morning and paid a visit to
the grand old man of Great Britain, Will
liam e. Gladstone. The Chinese envoy
drove from Chester, where he was received
by a guard of honor and was heartily
cheered by large crowds of people. His in
terview with Mr.. Gladstone lasted three
quarters of an hour; hey discussed,
through an interpreter, a variety of topics
and. after enjoying tea, were photographed
together. The veteran statesmen seemed 10
enjoy each others company. Mr.. Gladstone
told Ii Hung Chang that he was glad Chi
ma had generally followed a system of free
trade. Ii Hung a%ssented, but said that it
had been found necessary TO place some re-
strictions on merchants. The finances of
China were In a condition requiring great
care. More railways were necessary to de-
velop commerce. He Intended to do all in
his power to secure more railways. Mr..
Gladstone presented Ii Hung Chang with
a set of his own works and the Chinese
envoy presented Miss Gladstone with his
photograph and some packets Of highly
priced tea. The Chinese statesman then
proceeded to Barrow-in-Furness TO inspect
the ship-building yards and the large iron
and steel works.
A week from to-day Ii Hung Chang will
be on his way to the United States, which
leads TO the reflection that America is less
likely to benefit from the tour of Ii Hung
Chang than Russia, Germany, France or
England. Count Ii, and every member of
his suite, down to the cooks assistant, is
impressed more by material evidence OF
strength and by display than by anything
else. A representative of the Asso-
ciated Press visiting Carlton House
Terrace to-day was quickly given TO UNI
derstand that what would always live IN
their memory and what would DE spread
broadcast among their countrynen on their
return TO China was the empowering
magni1cence OF the Russian coronation
ceremonies. the irresistible appearance OF
the German army and the unooubted power
of the british fleet seen at Spithead when
the Chinese envoy visited the Queen at
Osborne.
rne republican simplicity of Lis recep-
ton in Paris did not appeal TO them. Doubt
less the still more simple reception they
will meet with in the United STATES Will not
impress them, particularly as lntrigues in
China render it imperative that Lii should
really understand the strength and wealth
of the country. Further, coming from a
race where etiquette is of the strictest.
they were displeased with the
careless tone of official life in France.
In London this has not been the case, and
they feel their Importance more decidedly.
That these things will count in China S
future foreign relations seems assured, as
certain members of the suite have kept u
diary OF events and impressions which, If
not made pubic, will be laid before the
emperor.
The Marquis of Salisbury was to-day in
stalled as Lord Warden of the Cirque
Ports. He drove to Windsor Castle in a
four-horse carriage from Waimer, at 1880
a. m., and the quaint ceremony of the in
Stall9tiOn was n9rfOrmpd nv the harOnS of
the ports in the banqueting hall. The
Marquis then went to ST. Mary's Church,
where he attended divine service, and was
afterwards present at an imposing military
and civil procession. Later he proceeded TO
the college ciOSe, where, III a large marque,
the seneschal read the proclamation. The
Marquis then announced that he mad been
nominated by the Queen for the Office of
summoned the court of Shepway, accord
ing to the ancient custom, and a salute of
nineteen guns was fired; Finally the Mar
outs of Salisbury unveiled a bust OF Lord
Du1erin, his predecessor as Lord Warden
of the Cirque Ports, in the town hall. The
town was profusely decorated in bunting,
etc. for the occasion. Lord Salisbury. the
mayors of ali the ports and a large assem-
blage of the members OF the arlstocracy
were present at the ceremonies. The Mar
ouis in returning thanks for his welcome
TO the Cirque Forts, said: "One speaker
alluded to the efforts the Queens advisers
are making in conjunction with the United
States to withdraw a portion or the causes
which have led mankind in ages past to
the terrible Judgement of baItlchelds. /
earnestly hope that it may be the fate of
my colleagues and myself to win this
peaceful victory which. III won, will be more
precious than the many victories with
which this part of England is associated.
The tone of the Conservative press in
commenting on the results Of the session
of the Parliament just closed is s~orrowful
rather than exultant, while the Liberal
newspaper contrast with a great deal of
JUNCTION the formidable list of measures pro-
posed and the few which became law. The
failure of the governments measure for
education. which was so loudly trumpeted
at the beginning of the session, is regret
fully alluded to in the ministerial organs.
The Times, for instance, opens its retrospect
with the words: 1.-The loss Of the chief
DISAPPOINTMENT over the session" The
Speaker, Radical sums up the session as
being a disastrous failure.
: 1t is learned that the release of the Irish
political prisoners is due to Mr. It. NJ.
Healy's support of the Irish land bill.
Advices received here from Christiana in
dicate that King Oscar has made himself
very unpopular with the Norwegians dur
ing the tour of that country which he has
just completed. During the singing of the
national anthem at Trondjem King Oscar
noticed a peasant who had inadvertently
omitted 10 doff his hat. The King called
lllC HIGH " HILL 0AA4 y Ills AAa1 VA.
exclaiming: Hats off,. When driving at
Trondjem, enthusiastic crowds welcoming
King Oscar and showering bouquets into
his carriage. some of them happened TO
strike him and his Majesty angriiy stopped
the carriage and ordered the bouquet
throwing to cease In addition he hurled
back several bouquets which bad fallen
into the carriage. The Norwegians are
greatly disDleased at these Incidents. TO
which Liberal papers give great prom
iEence.
1t appears settled that the Car will leave
ST. Petersburg on Aug. "a for a European
tour and that he will return home on Nov.
/. the programme being Vienna, Breslau,
Copenhagen, Balmoral. Paris and Darn
Stadt. The French are already working up
the excitement. President Faure and his
wife will go to Cherbourg and embark on
board the ironclad Dupuy de LONE. in or
der to meet the Gar in the channel. The
Dupuy de LONE will be accompanied by the
French fleet. On arriving in Paris IL has
been arranged that the Car is to alight at
the Northern railroad station in order to
traverse the greater portion of the boule-
ward on his way to the Russian embassy,
where his Majesty will stay during his visit
TO the capital of France. The French gov
ernment offered him the first floor of the
ishiy upholstered. but the Gear declined.
referring 10 stop at the Russian embassy
on the plea that he could there transact
the affairs of the empire on Russian soil.
The Cars visit TO Paris will last q week.
The programme of the fetes has not vet
been drawn up, but II will include a grand
banquet. a reception at the Eiygee Palace
