a year or so ago he quoted Shakes
peare in his conversation with me, and
gave me his opinions Of Huxley and
Darwin. He was then secretary OF the
navy of China, and was the chief as
sistant of Prince Lii Hung Chang in
foreign matters.
NEW CHINESE MINISTER.
I met the new Chinese minister to
this country last night, and had an
hours chat WITH him about himself
and other things. He also speaks Eng
lisN f1uentIy. He told me that he was
educated in England, and that ne was
a member of the English bar. He
studied law at Lincoln's Inn, London,
and after that returned to China and
practiced at Hong Kong. 1t was at
this time that Ii Hung Chang, who
keeps his eyes out for the brightest
young men who know anything about
foreign affairs, discovered him and later
on called him to the service of the en-
peror, and it is largely through Ii
Hung Chang that he now comes to rep
resent Chinese interests in the United
States. The new minister's name is
WI Ting Fang. He is, I judge, man
of forty years Of age. He has pro-
nounced Chinese features, having high
cheek bones, a light brown complex
ion, and eyes which are even brighter
than those of Lii Hung Chang. He is
seldom at loss for a word, and is a
man of ideas and actions. The door
of his room at the Arlington hotel was
fo,. hIyh lie, q
eyed Chinese boy of about nine years
who was dressed in a long red gowr
reaching to his feet and little black
skull cap which fitted well down over
his head, crowning features as sober
as those of the Sphinx. When the min
lister came in he took my hand il
American fashion, and then turned an6

card and read the names of the sew

"Ah," said he, IT see that you write
for many papers. Do they all pay
you for your letters? You must make
a great deal of money"
I modestly replied that I was abl'

asked me a number of other ques
tons about newspaper work in thu
United States, and especially as to the
profits which are to be derived there
from. After a few such questions

Sharks and Men on Good Terms.

Il saw an article about the unusual
number and voracity Of the sharks
along the Florida coast remarked a
gentleman. THAT interested me exceed
ingly. 1t brought an incident to my
recollection that | had almost forgotten.
1t happened when / was making a trip
on q sailing ship many years ago along
the coast OF India, ana you know what
a place for sharks the Indian ocean Is.
Well, we had occasion to drop anchor
off an island near Ccylon and sent Il
boat to the shore for a supply Of fresh
water. / accompanied the boat and
was really scared out of my wits to wit
ness the incredible number of man eat
ing sharks sEat played about the yawl.
When we had secured a barrel or two
OF water, We put off, accompanied by
two Of tie natives, who wished to see
the ship. We told them not to come.
but they insisted, saying, or indicating
by signs, that they would swim back.
Not taking them seriously, we pulled
to the ship. The water was smooth, aud
we We're hoisted aboard without diff
Guilty.
THE water was clear, and we could
SEE dozens Of huge sharks playing about
tho ship, and it was among the lot that
the natires plunged when they had seen
enough. They went without warning,
and | ran 70 the side of the vessel, cX-
pecting to see the hazardous fellows
torn to pieces. For an instant there wal
10 colnmotion among the sharks, and
then. apparently scenting human flesh,
fully a score Of the gigantic man eaters
darted through the water in the direc-
ton of the natives, who We're swim
ming quietly for the shore. The water
was cut into shreds by the fins Of the
sharks as they fairly flew toward the
swimmers. In another minute the two
men We're surrounded by the fish, and I
closed my eyes to avoid seeing their hor-
rible end. When I took down my hands,
the natives were swimming along in the
same old way, and the sharks were
coming back to the ship as quickly as
they had gone. Well, sir, don't you
know that the fish were SO well ac-
quainted with the islanders that they
never touched them? They had been
reared in the same water and were old
friends. New Orleans Times-Demo-
