The Famous Chinese Statesman Now In
New York.
A MAGNIFICENT MARINE DISPLAY
The Crack Fleet of Our Navy Welcomes the
Visitor With a Salute Escorted to
tho Waldorf Hotel by the Sixth
United States Cavalry.
New Youk, Aug. CO. It Is doubtful If
Now York ljiiy over presented a grnndor
6lght than It (lid yostordny, for anchored
thero In stntoly strength wore eleven of
tho warship-lot tho now navy of tho United
States, tho embodiment of gruco and
6trongth, of spood and offonslvo power.
Tho Chlnoso statesman, at tho review
off Spit Head, after ho visited Queen Vic
toria at Osborno, was treated to a flno dis
play of warships, forty-sovon ships, twon-ty-ovon
b.ittloshlps nnd crulsora and
twonty torpedo dostroyors being thero
ullgnod for his Inspection, hut ho nover
set oyos on a finer fleet than that com
manded by Admiral lhinco. Kach vessel
represented tho vory latest Improvement
In everything.

10 o'clock, rams pointing seaward, con
sisted or tho Indiana, Now York, Massa

and Terror.
At tho American lino pier wore statlonod
four troops of tho Plxth cavalry, U. S. A.,
and a detachment of tho naval rosorvo.
Tho former wore detailed to escort tho
groat Chinaman up Broadway to tho
Waldorf hotel, and tho latter acting as a
guard of honor at tho dock, which was
appropriately docorated for tho occasion,
tho United States finer nnd tho yellow
standard of China, with Its blaok dragon
rampant, predomlnatlng.-

how to address him. Somo of his titr3
aro: Chief of tho Chlnoso mission at the!
coronation atMoscow, ninbassador, envoy
extraordinary, spoclul envoy, senior guar
dian of tho holr apparent, prinio minister
or state, oarl of tho first rank, First Secre
tary hi, lil Compto Id Hung Chang.
And so on. Eventually, however, It
was decided to address tho Chinese states
man ns "your oxcellonoy," and so ho will
be officially torniod during his stay In tho
Unltod States.
Ij! Hung Chang's sulto consists of about
forty persons, and ho has with him about
300 plocos of baggage some of them being
of immonso size. Tho sumptuous collin
which ho carriod with him having been
sent back to China, via tho Suez canal,
would seem to show that the traveler has
no fear of dying before reaching his native
land again.
Tho visit of Li Hung Chang to tho
United Statos Is not of an official charac
ter. Ho has no spocial mission from his
emperor, although ho boars an autograph
lottorfrom his royal highnoss to President
Clovoland. I ho viceroy Is simply taking
advantage of his homownrd trip after tho
Moscow coronation coromonlos, to seo
something of tho western world. Old as
ho Is, howover, ho Is credited with a dosiro
to institute drastic reforms In his native
land nnd one of tho reasons given for his
prosont tour Is his deslro to obtain knowl
edge of tho working of tho government
or tno eiiirercut countries, to get a per
Boual gllnipo into tho inner life of Ameri
cans and Europeans nnd to Invostigato
modorn civilization.
Hardly had LI Hung Chang been set
tlod In his spacious quarters In tho Wal
dorf when an attache of tho Itustian lega
tion called to arrango a conference bo
twoon tho viceroy and tho Kussian min
ister. Ho was successful, and though tho
tlmo sot was not mado known It is be
lieved that tho conforonco will bo held to
day. Owing to past and other mora re
cont ovonts in tho cast tho promptness
of tho Ilussluns caused much speculation
about tho hotel.
LI Hung Chang dlnod last cvenlna on
food prepared by his own cooks and re
tired at his usual oarly hour, 11:30 o'clock.
President Clovoland will receive Li Hum
Chang today at tho ro-ddeuce of Hon.
William C. Whitney, and in tho ovenlng
tno viceroy will attend a baunuutnt tho
Hotel Waldorf given In his honor by ex-
ministers to China.
V special guard of policemen has boon
thrown around the Waldorf, and as loin.'

How Ho Spent tho Tllnii Coining Over eu
tho Illg Steamer.
NEW Yohk, Aug. SO. A press corre
spondent gives somo of tho doings of Li
Hung Chang on board of tho St. Louis.
The viceroy had boon Impressed with
tho story of groat riches In America, und
was anxious to know from oach person
ho talked with all about their wealth, nnd
especially how much they each wuut be
fore thoy aro satisfied.
Tho ambassador also wanted to know
about his reception In America, wan tod to
know if there would bo u groat publlo
demonstration and whether tho president
had a palaco on Governor's Island or in
Now York to recolvo In, and was very
much surprlsod to know that no groat ap
propriations had boon mado to rocelvo
him. and that no uulaco oxlsted iu our
I I country sum ns no had Known in ntnor nnnnn nr lirni Til IIITTfl
countries, nnd tho reception accorded him K U J I lf HkU MM Pl r r I A
country such as ho had known l'n other
countries, and tho reception accorded htm
would bo in keeping with tho slmplo Ideas
of our republic.
In speaking of bicycles tho ambassador
mado the remark that it seemod as If all
tho world was on wheels, and if tho roads
In China wero good enough undoubtedly
his poJiplo also would rido bicycles.
LI Hung Is vory much Intcrosted In tho
building of railroads, and predicts that
where thero aro now only 300 miles of rail
road In China In a fow years one will soo
many miles under construction. Tho
method probably pursued will lx an Invi
tation to foreign cupltal to romo in and
build, granting It liberal concessions with
tho privilege to China to purchaso at a
fixed price at n named tlmo.
On Thursday tho ambassador emit for
Captain llaudlo and thanked him for tho
attention and courtesy shown him on
board tho ship, for tho service and gon
eral accommodations of tho party, praised
him for tho way tho ship hud been run,
asked him many questions about his
duties and tho dutlos of his officers, tholr
Falarlos, etc., and wound up by saying
that tho St. Louis was indeed tho quoon
of tho ocean.
Tho ambassador ontortalnod Ronator
John W. Daniel, of Virginia, and Mr.
Theodoro W. Cramp, of l'hlladolphtn.
During his conversation with Mr. Cramp
tho Chincso Btutosman asked him why ho
withdrew somo of his Investments during
tho last fow years, and after Mr. Crump
gavo his reasons tho Chlnoso traveler re
plied: 'Oh, yos, you don t want all your
ggs In ono basket." Thus again showing
his knowlodgo and appreciation of somo
of our sayings. Intalkingof tho religion
China, tho ambassador said thoy wore gob-
ting vory liberal.

Laurlcr's ollorts to settle tho Manitoba pa
rochial school question peems to lio futile.
Tho compromise- accepted by the Grcen-

has this to say In a loading editorial
'Nothing but our separata parochial
schools will satisfy us. A sottlomont
