obligations under which China had
been laid by the remission of the Box

made by Americans for the relief of
victims of the recent famine in China.

Two young Chinese ladies bore for

sented it to Mr.. Taft as a memento Of
his visit. The bowl, which was a rare
specimen of Chinese silver work. was
inscribed, Presented to the Honorable
