AMBITIOUS WOMAN HINTED AT

Would Like to Have Her Husband
APPOINTED to the Post mt Pekih-
Religion Inserjeesed Into Poli-
tics

There is new phase to the opposition
to Mr.. Charles Page Bryan as minister
to China. II is now said that the mis-
sionary societies are antag omstic to
him, iut Just what this opposition is, and
how it originated, no one seems to know.
The Illinois Senators are ignorant OF IT.
Senator Cullom knows nothing of It, and
could conceive Of no reason why these
societies should enter a protest against
him. One gentleman, who is interesting
himself III the case OF Mr. Bran, sad
last night that the alleged opposition WAS
due to the interference of distinguished
ex-tiipl"mat, who is now out of posi-
ton, ard who is anxious to 20 TO China In
an official capacity. This diplomat is
well kBown in China. likes the country md
would be well pleased To locate there for
Tire next three or four years. his wife is
said to he the president of one of the
missionary societies that has filed a protest.
From ali that ,an be gathered and the
whole matter is somewhat in iefinitc
there appears To be more or politics trsn
religion in the case.
Il can zee NO eason why Mr.. Bryan
should be opposed on such grounds" said
weIl-knUwn Senator last evening VINO s
n member OF the Foreign Relations Com
mittee before which the nomina ton VIII
come. MI. Bryan comes from one 0f the
hest families i'll Chicago. lie is an etIu-
Gated man and a gentleman, member oI
the best clubs and in all respects n -epre-
sentative man. He might be opposed ON
some other reason, but, for the life OF
me, / c5nnot understan nd why the mis-
sinnary societies should oppose him : nd
l do not even know that they do l 60
not know that Mr.. Bryan is pIOfesaed
Christian, bat he is not unlriendiy to the
cause OF religion nj the missionaries
wuulG find i'm him as warm friend a
in any other ma II who might be sent 10
China"
1t is claimed that Mr.. Bryan is a man
of the world. andis, therefore, not fit 10 rep
resent this Government in a country where
the missionaries are frequently required TO
confer with the diplomatic representative
on matters that bring them in occasional
conflict with the local authorities
It Is said that some time ago tile effort
was made to blackmaii Mr. Bryan, and
that. acting upon the advice OF friends. he
refused to pay tribute, and the arfair was
taken into court. The woman -ef Ised TO
appear i'll court and the evil character of
the prosecution was thoroughly ventilated.
The chief Charge against Mr. Bryan is
| that he is not OF sufficient mental caliber
| to fill the bill, but his friends say this
| is erroneous. While there is consitieTd 1le
