Chang Yen Hoon, Chinese peace envoy, on board the "Empress of China", 1895. 'Sketch by Mr. Lionel C. Barff; Photo by Mr. G. D. Bowles [showing] Chang Yen Hoon, his Imperial Chinese Majesty's Ambassador-Plenipotentiary to Japan...When the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's royal mail-steamer Empress of China reached Kobe, on Jan. 30, Mr. Tei, of the Japanese Foreign Department, and Mr. Yamada, of the Police Bureau, went on board and intimated that the envoy and his suite, forty-three in all, would disembark at daybreak...his Excellency Chang, accompanied by an English interpreter and three other members of his suite, disembarked with Mr. Foster, who was formerly Secretary of State, U.S.A. They proceeded to the Oriental Hotel, where they remained till 1.30. Then the envoy and Mr. Foster embarked on the Owari Maru...The route from the Oriental Hotel to the landing-place was closely guarded by police, but despite this fact the large crowd of spectators expressed its feelings against the envoy by jeering. The Owari Maru left in half-an-hour for Hiroshima. His Excellency Chang is a native of Canton, fifty-nine years old. He has been Chinese Minister to the United States, Spain, and Peru, so he has considerable diplomatic experience'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
