dered by the London chamber of
commerce to the delegates of the
New York chamber at Grocers hall
last night was one of the handsomest
affairs of the kind ever given in city
famed for lavish hospitality. No eff
fort was spared to honor the Amer
lean guests.
Following is n synopsis of the re-
ply of Morris X. Jessup to the adj
dress of welcome:
''Nr. Chairman, my lords and gen.
tlemen: 1t is said that kind words
are the music of the world For the
gracious and kindly words with which
you have made us welcome, and for
the generous warmth of our recep-
tion manifested in every eye and felt
in the clasp of every hand, it is my
privilege.t to express the thanks of the
New York chamber of commerce.
at was a happy inspiration that
dictated your kind invitation and. l
assure you, that it was accepted in
the same spirit, and if our coming to-
gether at this time serves to bind in
closer ties the relations between the
two nations. our hopes and cXpecta
tions will be fulfilled and we shall
count 1t high privilege to have been
here"
Mr.. Jessup then reviewed the
founding of the New York chamber
of commerce and said:
"We do not forget how you instilled
into our minds habits of industry,
thrift and fair dealing, so that now,
in the dawn of the Twentieth century,
we are able to state with some pride
that the business relations between
the two countries amount to the sum
of 960,0OO,0OO yearly. We do not for
get how in the past 130 years aided
us to produce this result, by the in
cuIcation, through your example of
these principles of justice, religion
and law, which we have imbibed from
you as the foundation of all CONNER
cial transactions, and secondly, by
the free loaning of capital to enable
us to make use of our great reSour-
ces, develop our mines, build our rail
roads and extend our commerce. We
do not forget the kindness shown us
in times of financial distress. especial
ly in 1873, when business was at
standstill when one of our honored
citizens and princeiy merchants (af-
terwards president of our chamber),
Mr.. James Gore King, visited Lon
don, and, by his high character so
impressed our financial men that the
bank of England advanced one mil
lion pounds sterling, in sovereigns,
and sent the same by packet to New
York, under the control of Mr.. King,
to enable the banks in New York TO
resume specie payments and thus re-
store confidence, asking for no secur-
ity save the honor of Mr.. King and his
and Barring Brothers guarantee, no
stipulation being made as to the time
the loan was TO be returned, nor any
proof expected or requested, the only
reward being the desire to do n kind
ly and friendly act. We do not. we
never can forget, that when. during
our late struggle, we were not only
threatened with divided country,
but were overshadowed by the me-
mace of the war with YOU, your illus
trious. good, wise and beloved queen
God bless her memory was our best
friend.
eve are of the same race, the
same blood, the same language. and
tradition; we have the same religion,
civilization and laws, and we read
the same Bible; no, sir, we can only
be rivals in the effort each NAV put
forth, actuated by the same desire to
carry to the ends of the earth the
blessings of our civil and religious
liberty. To this end we will work
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder,
heart beating with heart"
All of the speeches teemed
with extreme friendiness and faith
in the establishment of permanent
friendly relations. All the speakers
expressed the belief that Great Brit
ain and the United States would rule
the destinies of the world, and that
their unwritten alliance would always
work for peace and the benefit of
mankind.
