Blair Incident Recalled.
u,boueh President Angel of Ann Ar
hor university is at last relieved or anx-
,",v and the sublime porte has given
.s.iroation of his acceptability, DR.. An
all was wise to cancel his engagement
e. coil for Europe on June II. When
government indicates that proposed
s.,nieter will be persona non grata,
which means a person not welcome,
,hot ratification is seldom withdrawn.
u will be remembered that President
Harrison appointed and commissioned
ex-senator Blair of New Hampshire 10
no minister to China, and while the eX-
senator was on his way to Pekin the
chinese minister in Washington In
formed the secretaryOf state that Mr..
blair would be unwelcome because or
certain anti-Chinese speeches which he
had delivered in the senate. The sec
retary Of state telegraphed to Mr.. Blair
10 return TO Washington, and he did so.
An effort was made to convince the Chi
rese government that Mr.. Blair was
GOOD man and not inimical to Chinese
interests. but without avail. MIR. Blair
never went to China.
Thus il seemed to be in the case Of
DR.. Angel. The Turkish government
had conceived the idea that DR.. Angel
\ was religious enthusiast, an anti-Turk-
! sh enthusiast, and that his presence in
Constantinople would stimulate the Ar
menians to oppose the Turkish govern
ment and it was difficult to remove
that impression. Nevertheless, the Off
Gals Of the state department had all
along expressed the belief that the OBJ
lection would be overcome by ample ex-
! plantations.
Wrote n Strong Letter.
Senator Mcmillan has accomplished
good thing for the Mount Pleasant In
dian school, The senator wrote a let
ter to the secretary of the interior. and
a strong letter, too, stating that the $50
Indian children sheltered at Mount
Pleasant are expected to become farm
AeN and take lands in severalty when
rthey become OF age, but they are being
taught farming by blacksmith from
Ohio, who learned all he knew about
farming on the bleak hillsides Of Col
Orado The senator further stated that
the predecessor CT the present teacher
Of farming had been a dealer in specta
cles and eyeglasses. He asked that some
man with at least five years experience
= In farming in Michigan be detailed to
Instruct the Indian children in agricul-
tural pursuits.
Secretary Of the Interior Bliss replied
10 the letter Of the senator saying he has
ordered the transfer of the blacksmith
| to some other point in the Indian serv-
| Ice and that he will send to Mount Pleas
ant a practical farmer to fill the posi-
Iylon. The secretary also said that he
would sustain Superintendent Spencer
in his disciplinary efforts. The secretary
says that the record Of the clerk at the
| gphoOl A. 40 ha xxri1t
be changed.
Senator Mcmillan is not an extreme
PARTISAN nor IS he much given to epi-
grams, but he recently sent a telegram
- citizens of Bedding, in reply to their
petition for the early passage of the
tarlff bill, which reads like an emana-
uon from an extreme partisan. The tel
egram read: Republicans In senate
Standing together solidly, making no
speeches, but voting for interests Of
american laborers and products; are
pressing Democrats as hard and as sue
esslully as Grant pressed the enemy in
ne wilderness. Appomatox is in sight. :"
