In the words Of Guy Maine, the main guy
Of oratory in the quarter, all was peace and
'plospeNty.'
The Chong Wah Kong Shore, under whose
name the banquet was conducted, provided
srhteen courses, half American and half
Chinese. suited to all tastes. The steam
piapo in the corner, the pride Of the estab-
hshment, played @Tammany' and other
appropriate tunes and the twenty-five

Consul, took charge of the speaking. He
told the Americans that human nature
sometimes becomes irrational, and when it
does so there is needed a man OF the pro-
foundest Judgment to correct It.

those tenets that he liked. II was the red

are all Of one blood. He had done little,
he protested, very little.
Iha honor lay with the law abiding char
acter Of the Chinese people. with the effort
Of DR. Tong. with the attorneys who, with
knowledge not only OF law but of human
nature, had drawn up the papers SO that
lasting peace was assured to Chinatown.
In conclusion. he begged leave to present
a gold and diamond media TO DR.. Tong.
Dr.. Tong rose INC bowed with grave
courtesy. but had nothing to say.
Then Congressman Goldfogle took the
floor.
'Komura and Witte, representatives of
Russia and Japan he said. came to our
their peoples. They enjoyed all the luxury

turned 20 an ebony chair which stood be-
hind the speakers table and said;
Receive from the people whom you have
% greatly benefited this chair as a token
o. their appreciation of this, as OF every
Sl1d act in the confines OF this republic"
Judge Foster responded in another
speech. Consul General Shah lectured his
oountymen a little upon the necessity of
earning to control themselves. His re-
marks were wise, but he said very little
ABOUT Judge Foster. DR.. Rudolph Gross
man said very little about Judge Foster.
Then Judge Herrick took the floor.
don't suppose that I'll get under in
Scttnent If I speak my mind about the
lhnese. We who are clamoring for the
open door IN China should give the open
door IN America to the Chinese. When
your ancestors and mine were naked,
painted harb5rlans their ancestors moved
10 silks and read hooks.
IL is true that their progress has been
nalted, but it will be resumed. When
hey 90 get into line with the nations of the
world. then we must look to our own place.
a people which wants peace must be
prepared TO fight for it. That is
Shat China will learn to do. Our
trends Of the On Leong and Hip Sing
ppnes have Illustrated that. They have
SHOWN hat the NewYork Chinaman can fight
