positions.
AS was usual. the leading perform
ers Of the orchestra as they appeared
upon the platform were met with en-.
thusiastic applause, the climax being
reached with the appearance of Mr..
Damrosch himself.
When the excitement had somewhat
subsidized and the concert was about to
begin a well dressed woman, seated
quite near the front, turned to the wo-
man beside her and said in an audible
voice. Pardon me, but would you
kindly tell me which one Is Wagner

d. c.
| Reverend Sir: / beg to acknowledge
the receipt of your esteemed letter OF
Yesterdays date and thank you most
sincerely for the sentiment you have
so unreservedly manifested towards my
country in it. [ learn with great inter
est that your bureau has appointed Rev.
/ f. w. Thwing of Honolulu as your dis
/ trict secretary to China and the Chi
nese, and that he will shortly be on
| trip through that country for the pur-
pose of observing conditions there per-
sonally and bring an accurate report
to the Shanghai Conference on opium.
| I need hardly add the assurance that
such untiring effort and painstaking
preparation of your bureau viii bear
fruit at the forthcoming conference
and raise in high relief the benefcent
endeavor of the American government
and people. l shall gladly notify, con-
formally to your request, my govern,
ment of the appointment of Reverend
Thwing and Of his preparatory trip in
Japan and China.
As regards the sending of hypoder-
mic syringes and so forth by some of
the japanese to China, L might well
surmise that such an allegation as you
have heard in China must have been
founded upon circumstances lacking
any legislation ON the part of Japan
to prohibit that traffic. The japanese
government, however, has not enter. /,
tanned the thought of allowing such
business to continue, if the importation
of these medical preparations and i'm /
plements is done for vicious use: and
has begun sometime ago to consider
what would be the most suitable and /
effective measures to be decided upon.
Besides this, the consideration by the .
of necessary steps prepare
tory to the enforcement of the prohi-
bition might have caused somewhat of
a delay in making the government IS
intention public. | have, however, rea-
son to believe that by this time my !,
government has officially communicated
its intention to the Chinese government,
to which the former assured, through
its representative, its willingness to co,
operate in the prohibition of the i'm
portation at the time when this ques.
ton was first brought to its attention.
Assuring you again of my high APP
probation of your impartial observa.
ton on our national desire to join
hands in this noble work. 1 am,
Very truly yours,
