A HEARTY WELCOME: INTERESTING
ADDRESS,
JHE PONGKONG DAILY PREFS, MONDAX, OCTOBER 14TH, 1907.
SEĻKETARY TAFT IN HONGKONG. But I sut somewhat surprised that a test Im been given in my honour, and I thank yon, Mr. Chairman, for the fattoring expressions given in my favour. 1 hope I deserved one quarter of them. Now gentlemen. I am not to keep you long by speaking, because a more distinguished gentleman is to follow me and we will all be glad to hear him-(applause). It is needless for me to say, and I think all the gentlemen bere present will join with me, that it has given all great pleasure to welcome the distinguished guest hers-(applane. I had the pleasure and honour of knowing him when I was in Amories, He was a Judge of the High Court and I need scarcely tell you that he dispensed justice equally, without partiality, without distinction of race, colour, politics or religion-fhear, hear and applause) And whatever position ba bolds he is a credit to himself and an honour to the country in which he holds so high position. Of coures, as I am going to America I am not going to speak of politics (angler)-but, I think, gentlemen, you will agree with me in wishing him a higher position (lond applano), I will conclude with the toset of "The health of the President of the United States, and the prospective President of the United States and prosperity to Amerion,” I assure you that China and Americs always have had the most friendly relations, and it is my dats when I got there to continse to have theee friendly relations comented and strength aned and brought aloser from day to day

Sires that time the question of Chinese in demity has arisen, sad Amorian has awaited half of that which had been awarded to her. Now it is said that fe only half what she ought to bare done. I agree. If that ought not to have been awarded to her she ought not to have taken it, but, my dear friendo, that aicety of justice in international dealings is not so universal er exceptional as to prevent its being occasion for good feeling between the parties to the transaction. Again, the attention of the Government of Washington had been directed to the fact that the Consular body in China was not up to the standard which it ought to have
I boon; and, within the last two or three years, think you will beer me out in saying that that the Consuls who now represent the interests of standard has been rated-(applause)-and that America in China will certainly by their in tegrity and intelligence facilitate the continu- anos of those friendly relations between Chius and the United States which we all so much
desire (applause).

It was some hours after the arrival of thes. Minnesota that Becretary Taft and bit party boarded the Government launch Victoria and were conveyed to Peddors Wharf, the environs of which were packed with spectatora. The Star Spangled Banner was much in evidence, and from many buildings along the water front and in other parts of the town it florded in the breeze with the Meteor Bag of England, the two banners waiting a welcome to the Americas guaria.
