EXCHANGE OF COURTEsIEs
President Mckinley Meets and Greets
the New Brazilian Minister.

Washington, June THE new min
lister from Brazil, Joaquin Francisco de
Assize, when presented to the president
made the following address:
MY personal friendly feelings for this
great nation from the contemplation OF
which my country and the world nave
derived so many lessons or progress ana
liberty are identical with those of the
Brazilian people and government.
You were the first to raise the cry
of free government and we recall the
memory of that glorious cry although
it was only given us century later to
repeat it with success. You opened
and we closed the cycle of the tremen-
dous work of liberty which is still being
carried out on the most fertile soil OF
the American continent.
1.-The destiny which made of our two
countries the greatest international
powers of America giving us similar
aspirations in the domain of political
perfection, established, however very
different fields for the material activity
of each. Production, the basis OF pub
lie wealth is far from being the same
in the two nations, so the very strug
gle for existence which not seldom OBJ
hterates the best feelings and defeats
the best designs, instead of giving US
cause for selfish competition and dis
tUrbances of our good relations, will be
on the contrary, the certain pledge of
the firmest friendship. We are mu-
tually drawn together by the two forces
which exert the great influence upon
human action-love and interest"
President Mckinley replied as fol-
lows:
MIR. Minister-It affords me great
pleasure to greet you as envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary
of the United States of Brazil to the
United States of America and to receive
from your hands the letters whereby
the president of the United States of
Brazil accredits you in that capacity.
THE people of this union have al
ways held sentiments of the highest eS-
TEEN for the Brazilian nation, as is
shown by the friendly relations which
have uninterruptedly existed between
it and the government of the United
States of America and 1 hearth welcome
your cordial offer of concurrence in
maintaining and Strengthening those
noting the mutual welfare of the two
nations, whose aspirations are in may
respects so similar.
1.-The high personal regard which
your predecessors have won in their
intercourse with this government gives
me assurance that you, too, Mr. Minis
ter, will enjoy the sincere respect and
