To Erection of Freight Wharf at
Waterstde Park,

The committee of the court of COM
mon council appointed to consider the
resolution for the building of public
wharf, and which recommended to the
common council that such a wharf be

reported in favor of erecting public
wharf on the water front of Waterside
park, which is on Water street at the
foot of Hamilton street

the care of parks, and consequently the
conference was held last night to de-
termine whether the commission looked
favorab1y upon the committees recon-
mendation of a site for the wharf,
special meeting being held for that pur-
pose.
Alderman Weiss, chairman of the
committee, and Alderman Wright, a
member, explained the wharf project,
and after a full explanation the COM
mittee of the common council retired
After a lengthy discussion the park
commission adopted the following reso-
luton in regard to the matter:
Whereas, A plan for the develop
been made for the commission by Dom
aid G. Mitchell, to which the improves
ments heretofore made at a large ex-
pense have been contormed; and,
Whereas The sea view is and al
ways must be a prominent feature OF
this park;
Voted That the commission are of
the opinion that it would be incompati-
BILE with the proper uses of Waterside
park to allow any part of its water
front to be devoted to the purposes of a
wharf for loading and unloading freight
Of any sort; but that it would be fully
in accordance with park uses 10 con-
struct a wharf for embarking and dis
passengers, and that if the
city desires to construct a wharf FOR
the latter purpose in front of Water
side park the commission would be glad
to cooperate with the common council
IN any way towards accomplishing. that
result"

American Marine.

Boston, Nov. 20.-A message received
here from North Brooksville, Me-, says
that the schooner Polly has been wreck
ed. She had $4,000 feet Of lumber as a
cargo, shipped at Bangor for Boston.

the oldest craft in the American marine,
having been built in 1906 at Amesbury.
During the war of 1912 the Polly was a
privateer and was instrumental in cap
turing British gunboat off the coast
of Maine. She was to have gone to Chi
cago at the worlds fair, but some busi-
ness difficulty arising she failed to get

er of her class afloat and was close

Oldest American vessel in active service

CHINESE MINISTER SPEAKS.
Caus ses of the UnpOpularity of Forcign-
ers in China.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, who arriv-
ed here last night from Washington, de-
livered an address to-night before the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science. After completing his
sightseeing tour the minister was the
guest of Provost Charles G. Harrison of
the University of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Wu's subject was The Causes of
the Unpopularity of Foreigners in Chi
ma" In the course of his remarks he
said: 1.-THE cause of the anti-foreign
feeling in China is commonly supposed
to be due entirely to the missionaries.
This charge, he said is unfair to the
missionaries, while iii cases they have
been indiscreet, they have done much
good in China The general attitude of
foreigners, he said, has had much to do
with their unpopularity. They frequent
ly treat the customs, traditions and in
stitutions of the country with contempt
and in this way excite ill-feeling. While
some foreigners treat the Chinese with
every consideration, unfortunately the
mischief done by others counterbalances
the favorable impression. The rene
dies, Mr. WI said, are that foreigners
should show some consideration and
politeness and the foreign press in Chi
ma should assume a more conciliatory
tone. 1t would, he said, be a good thing
to send only medical missionaries to
China.
