"I volco the sentiment: "f :ny country

memorial dollar, stamped with tho likenetn
of A'ashlngtnn and Lafayette, tuny remain
nlwnys, as It Is today, an emblem of the.
amity and tho unity of purpose of tho two
great republics of tho world."
In reply the president said he was deeply
touched by tho kind thought of America's
president and people, and particularly by
the gracious manner in which the coin had
been presented to him by Mr. Thompson,
Ho begged the latter to be the Interpreter to
tho president of his warmest thanks and
HCiitlinontK toward President McKlnley and
the American nation, which animated tho
president nnd government of the French rt-
public M. Loubet added that he con
gratulated himself on receiving this souvenir,
which was a fresh pledge of the reciprocal
ties of esteem nnd friendship which had go
long united Franco nnd tho United States
and which he hoped to see drawn eUmer
anil stronger more and more.
President Loubet concluded with saying
that It was especially ngrccnblo to him that
the mission was entrusted to Mr. Thompson,
In view of tho initiatory part which ho
took In tho subscriptions of the school chil
dren of tho United Stntis to erect a monu
ment to (leneral Lafayette in Tarls.

During lunch, which followed, M. Loubet
engaged In conversation with (leneral Porter
and Mr. Thompson, In wlilrli hn nccentuate.l
and amplified what ho had previously sail
In his formal response on the historical
and sentimental tics between the two re
publics and his sincerity for a good under
standing. Ho alluded to the Francn-Amvr-Ican
reciprocity treaty now beforo tho two
parliaments and dwelt on tho mutual nil
vantages he hoped would accrue therefrom
expressing his opinion that not merely thore
articles directly atTected by the treaty would

the two countries would undergo sympi
thetlc expansion and that the channels of
rnnimerclal Intercourse would widen Inev
Itsbly in the course of time.
"We both have reason to desire n de
velopment of our mutual trade," M. Loubet
remarked, '-yon want our luxuries and wo
need your articles of necessity."
The president then spoke of the great
wheat production of tho United States and
its enormous agricultural possibilities.
Mr. Thompson told the president there
was a scheme on- foot In Chicago to found

olution among tho descendants of French
men who had fought sldo by Bldo with the
American colonists In tho war of Inde

PARIS, March .'!. France beyond doubt
Is sincerely nnxlous for tho handgrip of
friendship of the United States and not
only Is this true of the government, hut
of all responsible French politicians as well.
Tho presentation of tho Lafayette dollar to
President Loubet today furnished another
unmistakable proof of tho existence of this
feeling,
References to the event in tho French
Journals of all political shades havo been
invariably of the most sympathetic charac
ter and tho ceremony itself is treated na
If destined to prove another link In the
historic friendship of tho two nations. Pres
ident Loubet himself, according to ono en
titled to speak. Is charmed with the whole
affair and tho manner In which It was car
ried out. Prior to tho ceremony he pri
vately expressed these sentiments and also
his senso that the way the scheme had been
taken up Is an Indication of the attitude of
tho great body of American opinion toward
France.
Another expression of tho feeling In the
oinclal world has appeared In the govern
ment's mouthpiece, which, after reviewing
tho Inception and execution of the Idea, eon
eluded by saying: "All these demonstra
tion form a veritable cult, consecrated by
tho Americans to tho illustrious citizen
who aided them to win their Independence,
which does the greatest honor to tho people
of tho United Stutes and deeply touches
tho French people. If thcro are in the
world two peoples made to lovo and com
prehend ono nnother It Is surely thosu of
the two greatest ropubllcs on tho face of the
globe."
Some of tho newspape s find In tho La
fayette incident an occasion to draw a con
trast betwi'jn tho Ideal of America and
Franco and tho conduct of nrcat Ilritaln
nt the present time. One remnrks: "It
truly la n line spectacle to see two grout
republics Invoking their souvenirs of hcro
Itm and celebrating the rights of their peo
ple while England Is going to strangle tho
Transvaal."
