Mr.. Tsui Kwo Yin, the minister from China,
received cablegram yesterday announcing the
departure from Shanghai Of his successor, Mr..
Yang Ju The new minister and his suite
sailed by the steamer Gaelic and are expected
to reach Washington about August IL
The new minister is a rich man and . man
Of family and it is expected that under his
regime the Chinese legation will assume an
importance socially that it has never known
before. He will bring with him his wife and
children, Of whom there are several,
among them couple Of well-grown daughters,
who will probably have a chance to make their
debut in Warrington. Mr.. Yang is a member
Of the eight banners, an aristocratic order Of
the highest in China. The cablegram an
nouncinG his departure also brought the
information that the party he is bringing with
him numbers eighty-two in all, including SEQ
rstaries, attaches, interpreters and servants.
This is an unusually large suite, and it will
be serious question how to provide accommo-
dstions for so large q party. 1t 10 possible
that not all Of these will come to Wash
ington, as the minister to the United States
10 also the minister to Peru, and it may
be that some Of his attendants are to be sent
thither from San Francisco, and some may re-
main in the latter city. AT any rate the new
legation will be much larger than the present
one, which Just now numbers but nine men,
bers in all. II 10 not known as yet
where the new minister will make his home.
The lease on the Stewart mansion on Dupont
Circle, which has 20 long been known as the
Chinese legation, expires next October, and it
Is thought hardly likely that the lease will
be renewed. When Mr.. Yang arrives here
he will have the opportunity Of looking about
him and deciding what arrangements he will
make for the years that he will probably be
here.
Mr.. Tsui viii Await His Successor.
Mr.. Tsui Is now at the legation and will re-
his successor and the formalities attending the
what was expected some time ago, as
It was thought then that Mr.. Tsui had
received orders to return home at once without
waiting to be relieved. The family of the pres
snt minister have already started on their way
toward their homo In the fowery king
dom. A telegram received from them last
Saturday announced their safe arrival
and the gratifying news that little Baby Mae. who
was 90 Ill when they left. was very much i'm
proved. They will remain in San Francisco
until they are joined by Mr.. Tsui, and then
they will all continue their journey to China.
Mr.. Yang Ju on his arrival in Warrington
will find plenty Of work to do apart from the
interests Of his country in the matter of the
Chinese restriction law, now more or less
in effect in the United States. A
commercial and immigration treaty with
Mexico Is already under consideration, and in
addition to tSis hs will be called upon to con-
