ANGLO CHINESE TREATY.
Sir James Mackay's Achievement Trt
umph for British Diplomacy.


New York, Sept 9.-The Anglo
Chinese treaty is hailed as a signal
triumph for British diplomacy, and Sir
James Mackay's achievement in per.
suading the Chinese government to
strike off the heaviest fetters that
have hitherto impeded foreign com.
merce with the Celestial empire is
lauded to the skies says a London
dispatch to The Tribune. 1t is fully
recognized however, that the aboli.
ton of the likin cannot become an ac
complished fact without the concur
renee of all the powers.
1t is hoped that Russia and France
will consider the treaty on it's merits
and not aHow economic reform to be
blocked by any of the difficulties and
jealousies which are only too apt to
make the European concert inharmo
nious and ineffective. But even as.
suming that all the powers approve
Sir James Mackay's agreement, the
task of carrying it out cannot fail to
be one of immense difficulty.

PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA.

Sponsor, prince and president, were the
center of brilliant assemblage OF
guests privileged to witness an ex,
change of international courtesies.
After the launching the president
and Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt were the
guests of the prince on board the royal
yacht Hohenzollern, the pesident and
his wife leaving for Washington in the
afternoon. Miss Alice Roosevelt re-
mained in New York with friends. =
The feature of the afternoon was the
presentation of the freedom of New
York to Prince Henry. The. ceremony,
which took place in the city hall, was
short, and the prince, in response to
Mayor Lows brief address, gave pleas
ant expression to the desire for con-
tinued and increasing friendship be-
tween the two countries, while he made
graceful acknowledgment of the unusual
welcome accorded him.
Notwithstanding the rain, it is esti-
mated that fully 100, 900 people waited
outside the city hall until the prince
appeared after the ceremony, and here,
as we'll as along the route afterward
taken by the carriages, the royal visitor
was accorded an ovation by the people
of New York.
In the evening Prince Henry, his
suite and the presidential delegates
were the guests of Mayor Low at din
ner at the Manhattan club and the day
was brought to close by a wonderful
performance at the Metropolitan opera
house, e
