CABINET CONSIDERS
CHINESE AFFAIRS

Washington Nov. 2S.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day occupied mainly dis
cussion OF Chinese affairs and the read
Ing Of portions OF the Presidents 8
forthcoming message to Congress.
The result OF the discussion of the
last phases OF the Chinese problem was
thorough approval of every point OF
the policy OF Secretary Hay, and espe-
cinlly Of the last Instructions to Mr..
Congcr, which were forwarded just
week ago.
While Mr.. Conger has full plenipo-
Tertiary powers, and consequently by
his acts Mt Pckin can finally commit
tho government OF the United States
to nm agreement II Is understood by
the officials that no fur he has not
signed any protocol or preliminary
treaty. So, regardless of Mr.. Conger 8
disposition toward the agreement
reached by the ministerial council, the
government OF the United states still
stands uncommitted, and therefore is
In n position to endeavor to bring about
such changes In the arrangements as
are deemed indispensable.
Mr.. White, our ambassador Mt Ber-
lin, has not yet communicated to the
State Department the reception accord
ed by the German government to the
copy of the Instructions supplied by
our Stnte Department to Minister Con
ger. 1t IL stated that the instructions,
not being In the form Of a direct ad-
dress, would not necessarily call Tor
= formal response. 1t Is expected that
several days will be consumed In this
kind OF negotiation with the various
powers before the Inst phase OF the
Chinese question Initiated by Secretary
Hays instructions to Minister Conger
MS to the agreement. can I've passed.
Privnte ndvIccs received here indi-
cate that the suggestions of this gov
crument us embodied In the instruc-
.lons to Minister Conger, meet with
general favor abroad.

An employe has something at stake
besides his salary. He has character.
There are manhood and womanhood in.
volved, compared with which salary is
nothing. The way one does his work
enters into the very fiber of his char.
acter. 1t is matter Of conscience, and
no one can afford to sell himself be-
cause his salary is meagre.
Besides, IL one puts his very best self
into every little thing he does-puts his
heart and conscience into 1t, and tries
to see how much and not how little he
can give his employer-he will not be
likely to be underpaid very long, for he
