ALICE GETS COSTLY GIFTS.

Presents Received by Miss Roosevelt
Aggregate 100000.
1t Is estimated that the presents
which Miss Roosevelt has received
from the empress Of China. the emper-
or Of Japan, the emperor of Korea, tha
Sultan of Jolo and others in the far
east will reach a cash value not far
short of 100000. f'
Miss Roosevelt was placed in posi-
ton where she could not decline any
of the presents without giving offense.
The gifts came to her as the represen-
tative OF the government, although she
did not travel with any such creden-
kials. AS the daughter of the Presi-
dent she was regarded by the Orientals
as they regard the reigning families Of
European Kingdoms
The gifts were tokens of friendship
and good will for the United States,
and Miss Roosevelt could not have de-
clined any, not even the pearl from
the sultan CT Jolo, without placing this
government In the attitude Of rejecting
friendly overtures.
