The dragon coils and flaps his tail in the

This is in honor OF his Excellency WI
Ting-Fang, a guest or the house, who ar
rived in this City yesterday on board Of
the steamer Gaelic, and who is en- route to
Washington, D. c., as the newly ap-
pointed Minister Pienipotentiary from
China.
WI Ting-Fang, one of the brightest

Il nave not yet selected a Consul for
this City, nor have l so far selected the
people L will send on TO Peru. Mexico,
Washington and Spain. 1 think will
have these details arranged in a couple OF
days.
My trip here was very pleasant except
Ing for slight contretemps in Honolulu.
The Gaelic stopped in at japanese
ports that are infected, and it WAS con-
slstent that we be quarantined at Homo
lulu, nut the Government there promised
10 De easy with us providing the health
inspection was satisfactory. In accord
ance, the Health Officer and staff boarded
our vessel miles outside and put us
through rigid examination. We were
declared ut to land and the vessel was
docked.
Imagine our surprise when we learned
then that we were not permitted to &c
ashore nor to receive visitors. Still, the
passengers from Honolulu to this City
were permitted 10 come aboard of our YES
sci from which l think it would have been
prudent TO keep away if our bill of health
was not clean.

wrongfully that l might have some treaty

the last moment at Shanghai to take
charge of the construction of railway for
the Government. In his stead came his
younger brother, Ho Vow, a bright Eng
disappearing man of about q years of
age.
He will probably be selected to remain
here as Consul General.
There are some nineteen other 'digni-
taries who are to be distributed in repre-
sentative offices, but it will require few
days before they will be assigned to their
respective posts of duty.
One party is to leave on the next
steamer for Peru. Another will leave
overland via E Paso to Mexico, while the
third will press on and divide itself be-
tween Cuba and Spain.
The Chinese population was aware of
the fact that the Minister was aboard the
Gaelic. and when that steamer docked
hordes Of Celestials blocked the avenues
of traffic about the water 'front.'
The representatives of the So called Six
Companies We're the first to drive into the
shed. Accom- panied by Collector of the
Port John II. Wise and Deputy Sam Rud-
dell, they easily made their way to the
vessel, where they presented their re-
spects.
1t was at this time that the magnificent
self-reliance of Minister Wu Ting-Fang
showed itself. Contrary to all precedent,
the Chinese Consulate of this City had
been instructed to make no arrangement Is
Tor housing tae party. AS a consequence,
the people from the different hotels were
on the qui vive to capture the choice
plum.
As they boarded the steamer the Min
lister listened TO each in turn, and he re-
mained non-committal until the very last
moment, when he ordered every body to
the Occidental Hotel.
In speaking of the matter later one of
the secretaries said that man named
Tom Mckay, a former resident of this
City, but now a railroad man in China

lister did not come TO conclusion without
first hearing the sweet stories of the yari-
Gus runners.
Minister WI Ting Fang personally at
tended to other details in regard to his
party, details men in his exalted position
usually left to others. AS a consequence
he was besieged yesterday afternoon by a
half score of railway people who look for
ward to and trust for the fat plum OF
transportation of the entire party out OF
this City.
7. h. Gordon, passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, took charge of the dele
cation and will send them over as far as
Ogden. From there they will go over thu
Northwestern, and from Chicago it is
booked that they will travel with J. Cler-
fayt of the Pennsylvania lines.
These matters of business settled the
Minister, through his American secretary,
Armando Ribas, who by the way is a
Spaniard, sent number of cipher dis.
patches to Peking and Washington.
Ribas is well known here and in the
East as the former secretary of General
Barillas, ex-President of Guatemala
Late in the afternoon the members of
the press were admitted to suite SO. whore
the Minister greeted them most cordially.
He appeared to be a well preserved man
of so years.
Aside from his costume and a slight
slant OF the eyes there was little to de-
note the Chinaman.
His En- lish, although spiced with an
accent more Spanish than anything else,
was fluent and positively correct.
$50 you are from THE CALL?" he said
inquiringly when the reporter was intro

He then turned to another interviewer
smiling and asked: "And you? The

There was just the faintest sign of mer-
riment indicated in the twinkle of his eve
and the diplomat general Immediately
began to divide the forces arrayed against
him by asking:

FOUND HUSBAND DEAD.
Blind Wife, Cropping About Room, Puts
Her Hand on Bullet Wound.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 15.-Charles
Birnbaum. aged S. years, once a
wealthy mine owner, shot and killed
himself at his lone here, respondent
over reverses and ill-health. Mrs.
Birnbaum, who is blind, was the first
to discover her husband after he had
shot himself. She had entered his
room, and failing to receive a reply to
a question, placed her hand on his
head One of her fingers touched the
spot where the bullet had entered
Birnbaum's forehead, and she
screamed and tainted as she realized
what had taken place. He died before
medical aid could reach him. Birn-
baum was a Hebrew. He amassed a
fortune in Sonora, Old Mexico, and
Pueblo, Col, which had slipped away
from him gradually, and recently he
came from Pueblo to live.
