CHINESE MINISTER TALKS.
Tells Commercial Congress Some
Interesting Facts.
GLAD FOR CHANCE TO ANSWER.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-During the
discussion in the International CONNER
cial Congress of a resolution relating to
Chinese immigration and trade, WI
Using Fan, Chinese minister to Wash
ington, gave some figures relating to
Chinese in this country. He said:
Il wish to answer one of the speak
ers here who make the remark:
SIS 1t is all very fine to say that it is
not just to exclude the Chinese from
America, but China has 400, ZOO, 900 in
habitants, and if the exclusion law is
repealed will not these come to Amer
ica?'
81 am very glad the question was
asked, SO as to give me the opportunity
Of answering. The Chinese that come
here come only from two provinces in
Canton. You never see a northern
Chinaman here; no men from Shanghai,
for instance, except in the diplomatic
corps.
AAOSC WV RAOs now q ROPuA0
ton of only about 1000, 900, so that,
even should all come, which is mani
testify absurd, it would not be very seri-
ous. The total number Of Cinnamon
now in America is about 1OO, 1000. Why
did the people come? Thirty years ago,
when you were constructing your west
ern railroads, you sent agents to China
and begged the laborers to come here.
Of course, others followed their example
later. But, had you not done this, 1 do
not believe there would have been any
Chinese laborers here.
''These men do not rob you. They
work day and night and make faithful
servants. admit that they want to
make few dollars and go home, but is
not that just what you Americans who
come to China want? believe that to
get the trade of China it is worth while
to repeal this Objectionable statute"

WASHINGTON. Sept. est has been
definitely determined to create four de-
partments in the Philippines as out
lined in these dispatches few days

be established covering the visxayaa
croup of islands and another the Sul'
group. Each of these would be unde
