l noticed a very marked change In the feeling
toward America both on the Continent and in
England regarding the standing Of this country.
especially as 10 her progress and prosperity, and
the increase in wealth, also her standing OF
the great Powers of the world. l think that the
splendid manner in which this Government has
handled the Chinese question puts America quite
among the foremost nations in diplomatic affairs,
and all Europe has great respect for the high
stand which America has taken in the matter.
They look upon this country with great deal
favor and consideration than before

Britain, and the feeling of real friendship is very
pronounced was struck with the inferiortty or
