ly indebted for his kindly attentions
and care. The r. & o. N. Co. is to
Lake Ontario and the ST. Lawrence
what the Grand Trunk is to eastern
Canada, and they make close mutual
connections at all the principal lake
and river points. From Niagara Falls,
Hamilton and Toronto at the end of
Lake Ontario, their lines of boats, that
in size and appointments rival ocean
vessels, reach every important town
and city on both the American and
Canadian sides, to the Saguenay river
and up that to Chicontimi. There
could be no more delightful trip than
all of this route or any part of it. The
company's boats will accommodate
thousand day passengers and can pro-
vide sleeping accommodation fol
nearly 500. 1t was on one of the
most splendid of these, the "To-
ronto," that we were taken down
through the Thousand Islands. Our
breakfast and dinner were taken on
the boats, and in service and cuisine
they equaled any of the famous ho-
tells. And even with all the beauties
of the st. Lawrence to fill the eyes
and attract and satisfy the mind and
heart, the stomach still remains an
important factor in the tourists
pleasure. Down the river, winding
past the multitude of islands, we
steamed, while scenes of beauty, each

lunch was served. The mayor ex-
tended the city's welcome in a most
gracious little address, and Mr.. HI. P.

talks were made and then the second
evening ended with theater party.
In the morning the Grand Trunk
had taken us in a special train out to
the Victoria Jubilee bridge, one of
the engineering wonders of the land.
We were accompanied by many of the

the trip presented jointly by the Kel-

a delightful, courtesy was the presen-

to contribute. On reaching St. Paul
handsome and commodious travel

chased and all of the party still in the
city gathered at the ladies' parlor al
the Windsor hotel at 4 p. M, where
the gift was presented. Mr.. White
made a handsome acknowledgment,
expressing his pleasure at the cordial
relations existing between the associ-

He not only proved a most enter

the committee wish to add their ver-
bal testimonial to the practical one of
the ladies for the assistance he rem
dered not only in planning this trip
but the one to the coast two years
ago. The first one never would have
been undertaken but for Mr.. White,
and it is doubtful whether the second
one could have been secured without
his advice and assistance. He is a
gentleman without reproach and
host without peer. ...

Of the greatest interest and in many
ways the most valuable ever offered
to members of the association. There
was more of historic interest, there
was more that was strange and for
eign and more that was educational.
Starting from ST. Paul on Thursday
evening, the party of two hundred, all
editors and their immediate families,
in a train of splendid palace coaches,
travelled over 5000 miles. From the
windows of the rushing train they
saw as a continuous panorama the
southern parts of their own state, the
splendid states of Iowa, Illinois, Indi-
ana, and Michigan before entering
Canada. Then passing through the
Port Huron tunnel under the ST. Clair
river, remarkable example of en-
cheering skill, we entered the coun-
try of our neighbors. Through much
of the best of Canada's farming coun-
try we went into the Muskoka lake
region, that glorious haven of the
sportsman and the pleasure seeker;
down the beautiful st. Lawrence,
through the Thousand Islands, to
Montreal and on to Quebec, the New
York and Gibraltar of Canada, and
then to Ottawa, the seat of the Do

LATEST FROM LONDON.

London, July 23.-4 a. m.-Sir Chin Chen Loh Feng, the Chinese minister in London, took the unusual step yes terday of paying a Sunday call at the foreign office. As Lord Salisbury was absent, his visit was without special result. but it's importance may be gath cred from an interview with the secre- tary of the Chinese legation. Sir Halli- day Mccartney, in which the legation officials seem to have assumed at least something like personal responsibility. Sir Halliday admitted that communi- cation had been practically reopened with Pekin and that messages from Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minis ter, and other foreign envoys might be expected almost immediately He said that he hoped the trouble would soon be over, since the Chinese government was doing it's utmost to overcome the difficulty and to control the lawIess eIe- ment. In his opinion the Americans had taken the most common sense view of the situation. and he insisted that China ought not to be misjudged. Against the suspicion that Ii Hung Chang had any but sincere pacific ob- ject in view. he protested warmly, de- claring that all stories about the per fidy and treachery of Earl Ii were 'ab- solutely baseless."
 With regard to the prospects in the southern provinces the secretary ad- mitted that there might be small out breaks. but he said there would be nothing serious and that the Europeans would be quite safe in treaty ports. The long silence, he explained, as due probably to the rebels who have cut the wires and blocked the soldiers" Thus, according to the secretary of the Chinese legation, a few days more should bring a solution of the great mystery.
