The gratltuae of the Chinese g-overnment to the X ntt-il State for the remission of 114,- . flmt.OQO' of the Boxer indemnity fund was expressed personally to President Roosevelt yesterday by Ambassador Tonff Shao-yi, the Imperial envoy sent to Washington by the late emperor.

Tons- Shao-yi's visit to America is . regarded in both business and political .Ireles, as one of the most Important ; events in recent relations between the two (treat Pacific nations. Marry of the foreigner in China believe it will result in Home kind ofan alliance, by which China and America will be pledjred -to a strong oriental policy in regard to Chinese territory. A less sierntflcant forecast made is that the visit will S; cement friendly relations, bring; the two people to a mutual understanding, and inaugurate a new era for American . trade in China. 'i No better adapted official could have been chosen for the American mission than the present envoy. Mr. Tons was eauoaiea in America, having passed through Harvard with high honors. He was one of the 'first government students sent abroad, and has been in strumental in having a large number of , others follow. Thirteen members of his : family have been educated in America, and CM of them are ardent friends of the republic and its people. Becomes a Liberal deader. ; For several 'years following his re turn to China, after graduating In the American university, Mr. Tong faced : the prejudices of the old Chinese clique that clung to the past, and deprecated everything modern. During this time he had little opportunity for advance ment. But when JA Hung Chang and later Yuan Shih-kal, on behalf of their government, herein adODtinir modern nxHhods of administration and organ ized tna forelRSt-drllled army, such men J as young j ong were in aemana. He then rose rapidly la office and rank. Two years ago he wata senior viee-presl-dent of the board of communications, and a director general in several rail way, " telegraph and other institutions. He was then recognized as the chief lieutenant of Yuan Ehih-kal, the great reform leader, and seemed to be ac cepted as the coming premier for the government., - Reactionary officials, largely of the Wanohu faction, organised against him. Despite this opposition he was marie governor of Fengtlen province, one of Jt or '-5 a. ssj You Unrestricted Choice of All Our $17.50, $20.00, $22.50 and $25.00 Suits the three created out the Manchurlan district, and acted as the nrlnclnn me. diary for china's negotiations with Ja an In regard to all Manchurlan ques tions. His name has been forced to the front for the office of viceroy of Manchuria, and many friends believe this will be his next important post. He is yet one of the strongest of the reform leaders, being ranked next to Titan Shih-kal, and will undoubtedly, be the premier of China at no distant day. Before being sent to America on the present mission, he was given the rank of a president of an administrative board, which is close to the highest that can be held, outside of the Impe rial clan. Chinese-American Alliance. Shall America and China enter into an alliance? The question will excite comment in some quarters, but Is re ceiving far more serious thought tn would be believed. Europe does not want such an alignment of occidental and oriental forces, say the wiseacres.

This bright pos sibility, from the American viewpoint, and corresponding- gloom from the Eu ropean, has engendered much concern in regard to such an alliance. China Seeks Ho Alliances. But no alliance Is expected. Ameri can aloofness from political combina tions is recognized. China Is today re garded as the ward of all the prom inent powers. Before she could nego tiate an alliance, it is possible that the- nations participating In the treaties following the Boxer uprising. would feel their right to a voice on the ques tion. It is more certain that they would object to China allying herself t with America. Japan especially would oppose such a combination, as she hopes to bring the orientals under her , own aegis in time. , China is said not to be so anxious for international alliances as some would believe. Her people merely ask for protection from territorial en croachment, and foreign politlclal op pression. America's open door policy, so emphatically declared In recent years, is regarded by the Chinese , as sufficient safeguard. If this policy Is maintained, in spirit as well as letter, b-ading Chinese believe they have ample protection, until their country develops into a modern power that Is , able to care for its own affairs In any struggle. ! The Boxer Indemnity. ! Tong Shao-yi's other possible mission is receiving greater attention than any j prospective alliance. China's frlend I ship has been stirred in unusual meas ure Dy me American act wnicn line CHpccial emissary has come to recog nize. That country, striving to meet heavy reform requirements, finds the great Boxer indemnity one of the heaviest burdens it must bear. China feels that this indemnity was made very heavy, far heavier than the actual expense incurred In military and naval ODerations and In recouping private in teresta for losses sustained at the hands of the mobs. America, in re mitting more than half the total. Is taken to admit this point. America's indemnity assessment was not heavy, but its remission is hoped to be heeded as an example for the other nations who have big sums charged against China...,. Row Silver's Fall Kurt China.

At the time the Am erican" congress remitted' all of the re maining Indemnity, China had paid this country $11,666,482, which makes the amount remitted about $11,000,000. This within Itself is a considerable sum, which the Chinese government appre ciates, but If it can be established as a precedent for other nations, the re mission will have greater value in this light' Russia and Germany's claims were very heavy, and are far less than half paid. If the American spirit were communicated to these two nations, re sulting In proportionate: remissions, China's debt would be so heavily re duced as to enable the ' government to take up many Important refosms now awaiting'" funds. ""- 8ucn Embassies! Stars. The sending of a special emissary ot.&urii Mali xeak Jt JULl the to a foreign country, has been rare with China. Commissions for the study of constitutional government and gen eral administrative methods were sent abroad two and three years ago. These contained some high officials, but none ranked the present emiBsary to Am erica. A prince closely related to the emperor, was sent to Japan last year to return the visit of the Japanese crown orlrtce. Aside from these mis sions, the Chinese lave not been wont to give much attention to foreign pow ers, exoept when representatives of latter came to China. Special Tribute to Taft. When President-elect Taft was in Shanghai last fall, enroute to the Philippines, the entertainment given him and the official welcome, exceeded any reception accorded a foreigner in modern times, i lie cntnese made spe cial effort to show their friendliness for the American official, and proved that they sought closer relations with their big neighbor. Instead of writing the national thanks ror remitting the Boxer indemnity, as might have been expected, China immediately resolved upon sending one of its highest and most distinguished officials to this country to thank our government in person, and as some persons believe. further to Identify national Interests. An order was recently issued to send 100 more government students annually to America than have been sent in the past, as an additional recognition of the generous remission.
