Henry w. Blair has again been
turned down by the Chinese govern
ment. Mr.. Blair, it will be remem-
bered, was nominated to the Chinese
mission during the closing days of the
last session of congress. Simultaneous
ly with the presidents action, the
Chinese legation forwarded to Pekin a
complete abstract of Mr.. Blair's record
on the Chinese question. After it had

was about it, he might relent and con-
sent to receive the New Hampshire
statesman. The Chinese premier's
reply reached Washington a few days

the oath of office March 4, and since
that time he has been drawing the SAL
airy attached to that mission, $4,000
per annum. In other words, he will
have been paid at the end of this
month 5000, a sum equal to his salary
