Washington, Dec. 4. 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.
' AMompanled by the official members
of hla suite, including Prince Tsal Fu.

thanks of his nation for the kindness
shown. . ,
s PreKident Roosevelt respond! brief
lv. voicing hi" appreciation of the cour-
. t'ey of the Chinese government.
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

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.
It would mean little now. when Chin
is weak, but it would be the means of

gether two of the most impregnable
powers known to the world. They would
control the Pacific ocean. In peace and
war. Russian advances through Sibe
ria, British expansion from India or
Australasia, and French development In
Annam, would then become subject to
American-Chinese limitations. The com
merce of China's 400.OUO.000, Japan's

Philippines' 9,000,600 and Malay's 1,000.
000 would be controlled by the two dom
inant Paoifio powers. 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.

CHpccial emissary has come to recog

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

The sending of a special emissary

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.

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.
