MR.. ADAMS REPLIES.


George E. Adams, of Chicago, re-
piled to the address of Lord Beres-
ford. Although advocating the
"open door" in China, and filled
with expressions of friendship to-
ward England, Mr.. Adams speech
was against the idea of formal al
lance between the United States
and any Power of the Old World.
Lord Beresford paid visit this
morning to the Board OF Trade,
where he received welcome that
exceeded in noise anything he has
heard since arriving in the United
States. Business was suspended on
the floor, and he was escorted by
President Lyon to the visitors gal
lery between two lines OF cheering
and shouting brokers.
After the gallery had been reach
ed President Lyon made short ad.
dress of introduction, and then pan
demonium was loose once more.
After ten minutes Lord Beresford
was allowed to hear his own voice,
and said:
"Allow me to thank you for the
great compliment you have paid me.
1t is not a great compliment to me
personally, but to the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of England
which | represent.
! 81 am delighted with the interest
which has been shown in the future
of China, The future desired is
certain to come, and there is no city
that has a greater interest in the
same future than Chicago, situated
as it is in the centre of your country
l shall regard the opening OF China
| as the greatest commercial events ol
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-03-10
Continued from Ist page.)

"The result of the open door policy
is that there is not one # our colo
MES which has cost the British tax
payer one shifting. They al work
on their own lines; they work in
their own way; but they are Of enor-
nous importance to us because they
increase our trade and commerce at
home.
HOW TO KEEP THE DOOR OPEN
"The great question is the practi-
cal point, How are we to keep this
door open3 l came to the conclu-
sion that the opportunities of great
trade in China are certainly gather
ed by the four countries-America,
Germany, Japan and Great Britain.
"My suggestion was that there
should be some sort OF commercial
alliance or commercial understand
ing between these countries.
1t may be said to me, Why do |
name these four countries, and leave
out Russia and France? | don't
want to be discourteous to any ma
ton and l never am, but l look upon
this from business point of view,
and why, when Russia and France
have no trade-that is, no import
trade into China are they, or am l
to suggest, with great respect to
them, that they should come into
this commercial alliance with regard
to trade which these four countries
1 have mentioned possess2
"These four countries also are the
four countries that do not wish to
have any territory whatever. What
they want is simply commercial free
dom.
81 do not want to say anything
ungraceful about France and Rus
STA, but in the past history has shown
US that they are countries which
like territory. l do not blame France
and Russia a bit. No country ever
conducts policy of that character
without it being conveyed to the
minds of that country that what
they do is for the benefit of their
country.
81 have never said or will say, or
think of saying that America and
Great Britain should have an al
lance for offence or defense. 1t
would be a most stupid thing to
say. Fancy if Great Britain had
some trouble in Europe. or what
interest is that to Americans? | do
not suppose you people would think
of going to war about some question
of that kind. What | meant was a
sort of commercial understanding
| That is better word"
Lord Beresford's speech was re.
ceived with frequent outbursts oil
applause, and as he resumed his
seat the cheering continued for sew.
