MINISTER WU's Hay RIDE.
II Incident That Shocked ii Dis
t7ueuishea Diplomat.
tFrom Tie kansas CfU star

tt rom tie hdli.st~ i1tH >taF.J
Minister WI, at Washington. has given
ample pledges of his friendship for the
United States during the crisis in China.
but there are some things in this country
which he refuses to stand for It is to be
deeply regretted that his participation in a
hay ride at Cape May on Saturday night
caused him to be soTeiy scandaiiZed. He.
in company with his young nephew. ing
Choa Shee. enjoyed the novelty of the
event very much, until the Ambassador OBJ
served young blade in the party pass his
arm around the waist of a pretty maiden
without even the feint of protest This
was too much for MIR. WI, and taking his
nephew by the hand they Slid 10 the ground
with the remark by the Minister that they
needed exercise and would walk home
This is only one of the proofs that the
OrientaIs can never assimiiate the ciYili-
zation of the Western World. In COM
menting upon the event Minister WI,
with admirable diplomacy, contented him
self with the rather significant ohserva-
tion that the women of China don't go
on hay rides. It might be better for
them if they did. and if they induIged in
other American practices which are re
garded by the Chinese as indiseretions.
But that, after all, is matter of opinion
1t all depends upon the point of view.
Minister Wu's idea of hay rides, how
ever, seems TO 1uSLlfV- IN the fullest de-
gree, the attitude of the Government al
Washington in regard to the Eastern
question, which has been that of oppo-
sition to territorial acquisition in China
and the partition of the Empire. 1t has
been said, over and over again-and with
obvious truth-ouce a Chinaman always
Chnaman. Nobody can ever make an
American, pr even d true Christian out
Of a Mongol. Between the yellow man
and the Caucasian there is a great gulf
fixed.
1t would be worse than useless for the
Americans to try to set up business
among people who look with suspicion
and horror on hay rides. and the mis-
sionaries of Christian nations who have
frittered away much time in China
ought to be admonished by the eircum-
stance that one OF the most enlightened
and liberal of all Cinnamon was horri-
fed and stricken with shame to witness
as natural and harmless an act as the
hugging of a pretty girl by a gallant
young man The only thing to do with
the Chinese is to leave them TO their
idols They are probably descendants
of EDhrain
