Show visitors and the chinese emperor until the present generation conr ministers have never been received by the emperor in person the chinese have fought against such receptions as sacrilegious in 1873 however the foreign ministers forced the emperor to receive them and in 1891 the new emperor gave his first reception to the foreign diplomats he probably will have to do this many times in the farrare fa frare I 1 have received a letter from china describing this reception and saying that it had a great influence on the chinese at peking it shows the people that these so called tribute bearers are worthy of notice and makes them respect our ministers the last emperor wanted the diplomats to go down on their knees and bump their heads against the floor nine times i in front of the emperor aa the chinese do but they refused to do this and no attempt was made to demand this on the present occasion the chinese idea is to make the foreign ministers as far as possible contemptible in the eyes of the people and it was faur months before the audience of 1873 could be arranged frank Q carpenter in national tribune |
