MIR Minister: This is for me a most
agreeable occasion. In delivering to me,
as a gift to the United States the portrait
OF her majesty the Empress Dowager of
China. which neld distinguished place
among the Chinese exhibits at the Lou:si-
ana purchase exposition. you have appro-
prately expressed the estimation of the dis
Interested friendship of the United States
which is felt by the imperial government,
which in turn teStifies its reciprocal regard
and esteem for this country and its people.
1t is hitting that this mutual friendship
should exist and be strengthened in all
practicable ways, whether in the larger field
of international relations or by pleasing
incidents like that which brings us together
today. | glad, therefore, in the name of
the government and people of the United
States. to accept this portrait which viii
he placed in the National Museum as a last
ing memorial of the good will which unites
the two countries, and of the strong inter
est each feels in the others Weil-belng and
advancement. l beg that you will appro-
priately convey my thanks to her majesty,
with wishes for hear health and happiness.
The Chinese Minister'S Address.
Tho Chinese minister said, in making the
presentation of the portrait of her majesty,
the empress dowager of China:
Mr. President: In obedience to the COM
mand of her majesty the empress dowager
of China | have the honor to present to the
government of the United States, of which
you are the distinguished and honored chief
magistrate. the portrait of her majesty
which was on exhibition al the Louisiana
purchase exposition, as a gift from the i'm
pcrial government of China.
The course of recent events in China has
proved 10 the world that on the disinter-
cstcd friendship OF The United States China
can place the firmest reliance. In order to
show IL a signal manner her appreciation
of this friendship her majesty has taken
advantage OF the opportunity afforded by
the celebration of the centennial anniversary
of the purchase by the United States of the
territory of Louisiana. 1t seems, therefore,
fitting that the portrait of her majesty
should become the property of the United
States government IS IL memorial of her
