However, he had friends in the diplomatic service. One who now represents his Majesty in a European capital wrote to him: My dear Macdonald, I see no more reason, why you should go to Peking than 1 should be made Colonel of the 74th High landers," (Loud laughter.)

Ho need hardly say that, precious document was being trea aured as an heirloom in his family, (More laughter.), But in the midst of this lack of enthusiasm and damnation by faint praise one friend held ous a band of encouragement and support, and that friend was the China Association. (Applause.) Previous to his departure to Peking he was not fedling particularly cheerful, but the China Asociation gave him a splendid banquet and the chair- man, that brilliant statesman, Lord Curzon (cheers) said many words of encouragement which were ondorsed by the nenibors of the Association with such cordiality that he went to Peking pre- pared to tackle anything.

Empress Dowager, they gave him another banquet and thanked him for what he had done.

Even the Times approved. He went to see his old friend, the late Mr. Moberly Bell, when he had known in Egypt, and the first words he said were, "My dear: Macdonald, what the devil do you ena by being a success!"" (Laughter.)
