EnioXed His Visits.

Ye editor has certainly enjoyed the
visits of Hon. Geo j. LaBar to our
sanctum since his return of Tour of
the World, covering poriod of almost
four months. The Judge is a keen OBJ
server and what he saw he can describe
in such manner that you imagine
you are one of the party. During his
tour he tried to give the PRESS readers
an minute account Of all he saw in an
abbreviated form in several letters,
which were eagerly watched for and
enjoyed by all. n addition to his
letter he mailed thousands of post cards
and papers from every port to all
friends he could think of and regrets
he did not have the initials of many
friends he had to miss. The Judge
hoots at the idea of Japan preparing
for war with the United States and as
sample Of the greetings the Americans
received in Japan he handed us the
following, which we copy from
Il Japan paper-printed one-half in
English-which expresses his idea of
the true sentiment of the Japs
We, the Nagdsdki Shimpo, have this
day the honor of extending the hearth
rst welcome of the 10000 citizens of
Nagasaki to the American ladies and
gentlemen on board the =. 8. Cleveland,
known as the ClarE's Tourist Party.
Long before the doors of the Rising
Sun Empire were thrown open to for
eign countries for free intercourse,
Nagasaki was openedtfor foreign trade,
and che has the historical honor of
being for centuries the only mouth
through which Occidental civilization
was imported into the Empire. Con-
sequently we, the citizens of Nagasaki,
are proud of ourselves in respect of
cherishing a deeper, stronger and
warmer good feeling toward friends
from America, Europe and all the
countries abroad, than that of our
brethren in other parts of the Empire.
1t is our pleasant and grateful re-
membrance that you, the Americans,
were very kind in awaking us from
our long dream of isolation and intro
ducing our country into the circle of
foreign nations, and that since you
have been always true friends toward
us. The whole nation of Yamato is
deeply impressed and greatly pleased
with the way America entertained so
courteously and generously the party
of our representative business men
who visited your country recently, and
we hereby take this opportunity to ex-
press our heartfelt gratitude to you.
We are very glad to have you visit
this place to-day; and in expressing
our JOY at seeing you, and our high APP
probation of your constant kindness
to US, we are doing our best to well
come you to this city with our hearth
est and sincerest good wishes 1t is,
however, our deepest regret that we
are not quite advanced in our arrange
ments for receiving such large party,
to make your stay here really com
Portable and homelike. Moreover this
is the busiest time of the year with us,
as 1t is our custom to close all business
accounts by the end of the year and
commence everything anew on New
Years day; we must therefore beg
your pardon if we lack anything in
courtesy or entertainment to make you
happy and joyfol during your visit in
this town
In the end we wish you very hap
py soiourn in our country, and hope
moSG slncerly lnaU When you reach
your homeland after pleasant and
peaceful voyage, you will be kind
enough to make your fellow country
men convinced that we, the nation of
Dai Nippon, have always the most
true, warm and grateful feelings to-
ward all Americans. s.-Nagasaki Shin
po.
Our genial friend is considering
more complete account of his tour to
be published in pamphlet form, which
no doubt will be interesting and in
