EXPANSION DINNER.
American Asiatic Association Had
Guests at DeImoniCo's.


New York January 26-one hundred mem
bers aud guests of the American Asiatic as
sociation sat down to the second annual
dinner of tho organization at Delmonlc's to-
night. Among those who sat at the table
arranged for the guests OF honor we're Sen.
ator John l.. McLaurin OF South Carolina
Jutaro Komura. minister from Japan: Chas,
DENLY, ex-united States minister to China:
WI Tang Fang, minister from China: Corne-
Illus Bliss John Barrett. eX-minster to Siam
and Brayton Ives. THE ENGLISH AND
AMERICAN COLORS at the head of the table
were the only decorations. Letters of regre,
were received from President Mckinley. Sec
rotary OF State Hay. Secretary of the Trusury
Gage, Senators Beveridge, Lodge ana Aldrich
and Morris X. Jessup president of the cham
Der of commerce.
Minister WI Tang Fang wore b brllan,
Oriental costume OF silk. embroidered with
heavy gold braid and decorated with Chinese
characters. The minister from Japan wore
fun evening dress after the American mouel.
senator NcLaurin spoke al length of the
industrial growth OF the South and its stimu-
lation by trade with the Orient. The South
is regularly interested In our Asiatic mar
kets. From the Orient comes continually
increasing demand for raw and manufactured
cotton The outlet there for our surplus pro-
ducts come from Southern mills. Southern
manufactures have not vet reached more thall
one-thirtieth Of the population OF China, II
is OF inestimahe Importance to the south
that this trade should be developed. held
and protected. With millions Of capital In
vested IN Southern factories, dependent, as
they are upou the markets of the orient, the
representative from the South who opposes
commercial expansion with all its results
and responsibilities is blinded TO the true in
terests OF his section and welded to mere
nDlitioal sentiment
