retary.
At the hotel there had been forty rooms
reserved for the party, the legation not be-
ing large enough to accommodate such a
gathering. The Chinese military men soon
fell to cumming with the National Guard
officers, who were pervading the hotel, and
the chief Interpreter occupied a big table
in the parlor tranSleing Chinese names
into English for the benefit of the clerk
and room numbers into Chinese for the BEN
eft of the roomerS.
The party took a short rest at the hotel
and then the heads of the party and their
secretary and Interpreter went over to the
State Department where, at 1:15, they
called on Secretary Root.
Received by Secretary Root.

accompanied by Assistant Secretary Bacon,

commissioners were not unknown to him,
and that he took great pleasure in welcoHl-
ing them not only on behalf of the govern

United States. Hell hoped that their stay
might be both pleasant and profitable.
Mr.. Tuan replied through the minister
that it was a great honor. and one that en-
tirely eclipsed any previous event in his
career, and that ii was almost too much
of a privilege to convey from his distin-
guished sovereign expressions of esteem
There was a general introduction and hand
shaking, and Secretary Root said in part
ing that he hoped very much that the visit
ors might see something of interest and

An Event in Sunday Journalism

The people OF the middle West are
rapidly discovering that the Sunday
Magazine Of The Chicago-Record Her
aid is not only real magazine but
also one of the greatest in this age OF
magazines. Its recent display Of en-
terprise in paying So, 900 for the ex-
elusive serial rights of Conan Doyle's
new romance, "Sir Nigel" compelled
even the editors OF the famous
monthlies to acknowledge the pres.
ence Of new and powerful rival.
When this was followed by Anthony
Hopes new Zenda romance, "Sophy
OF kravonia," the reading world
needed no further proof that the Sun
day Magazine of The Record Herald
was able to capture the finest and most
costly new fiction offered in England
and America. It's illustrations and
cover designs in color have from the
beginning been ofunsurpassed beauty
and artistic grace. Its short stories,
descriptive articles, humor, poetry
and sketches Of all kinds are the
choicest that the literary market af-
fords, many of them being written by
the most popular authors and maya
zine contributors in the United States.
In short, it is an entertaining, high.

ison with the best independent week.
