A Talk with Blair.

CHICAGO. April 30.-Ex- Senator w.
Blair, the new minister to China. arrived
here Wednesday morning and was ques,
toned in regard to the report that the
Chinese government had submitted t.
the department of state formal protest
against his being sent o China.
II have received no official notice q
such protest" said Mr. Blair "Ajl
that | know about it is what | have secu
in the newspapers. | may be permitte
to doubt its correctness for the reas n
that the state department knows that
am en- route to China, and if it had d..
cided to recall me it would have done SO
without delay. | shall not stop hero
any longer than | originally intended in

the cablegram, or whether the reasons
for this action We're given, Mr.. Yen de-
clined to state Personally he had very
high opinion of Senator Blair. He had
met him several times, and had always
found him to be very courteous gentle
man.
At the time Senator Blair was nomi-
mated minister to China, Mr.. Yen was in
Peru, to which government he is also
the representative of China, and did not
return to tie United States until early
i'll the present month. He had never oC-
casiOn to ascertain what had been Sena-
tor Blairs attitude toward China or the
Chinese residents in this country. and
not until his return had the senator's ut
terances on the Chinese question. as re-
ported i'll the congressional record, been
brought to his attention.
The minister conveyed the impression
that he had simply stated facts to his
government, and aside from that he had
not sought to influence its decision either
favorably to the senator or unfavOrably.
This action Of the Chinese government
has not created the least excitement
here, as it had been anticipated by many
from the first. The proceeding is not n
very unusual one and cannot be con-
strued as Indicating an Unfriendly feel
ing toward this government.

the day for the execution in order to give
