President. I am interested in the observations made by the Senator from Utah . and for myself. I sincerely trust there will be no misunderstanding on the part of the citizens of the United States as to any visit that our distinguished compeer. the Vice President of the United States. may make into the Asiatic sphere. Pleased I am that the distinguished Presiding Officer of this body shall have the vacation to which he so deservedly is entitled. Pleased I am that there is an idea that his visit would tend to bring about a more fraternal and kindly feeling between Asiatic nations and ourselves. But. Mr.
