dent delight. He spoke. by request. on the
subject Of the trip around the world which
he and Mrs. Trip recently took on the
Hamburg American steamer, Cleveland "
carrying a party Of 75e Americans. The
voyage. itself made q record in the an
nails of navigation, being made from firs'
to last exactly on schedule time. within IN,
very hour. and without the slightest bteal
or accident to the machinery in the whole
trip around the world.
The address was not only vivid and de-
pies. and full Of pleasant humor. but II
contained also interesting and weighty OBJ
servation on international affairs. Judes

hood of war between Japan and the Unite<
States. This great party Of American
tourists were received everywhere in Japal
with every possible attention and honor

toward the United States.
Judge Trip is of the opinion that tn
Chinese are a people of even greater abilitl
and promise than the Japanese. althouEi
, they are slower in waking up TO the moder1
spirit The Chinese are not 80 free in the
. expression OF good will toward Americ
as are the Japanese. but nowhere va
there any evidence OF other than friend
feeling. Their Repositories toward tn
travellers was especially noteworthy. II. q
any time in the future there should arts

comes.
