pected to accompany Mr.. Taft. but ne was III
and could not make the journey from Washing

phia by Charles d. Barney. retiring president OF
the Ohio Society and William s. Taylor, the
newly elected president.

state, referred to the place its sons have held
in the history of the country, and then talked
on the relations of this country with CHINA

sire war with us. nor do we with them The
question of the open door in China ne de-

The sending of the American feet TO the

significance. But the effect from the orientai
point Of view was most wholesome, since the
