Chinese Envoy Shocks Congress.

Washington, May 21.-Wu Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister, has shocked con-
gress in becoming a lobbyist. He is op-
posed to the enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion law by Commissioner General
Powderly. WI, who has become i'm
mcnsely popular since coming to WASH
ington, has upset all diplomatic tradi-
tions by his course. WI is a lawyer, ed
ucated in England, and speaks polished
English. He has caused several small
sensations by his outspoken opinions on
various subjects. He is favorite of Ii
Hung Chang, who selected him for the
American mission because of his ability;
but, like Iii, tradtionary rules seem to
form no bar to this interesting Chinaman
once he sets out to gain n purpose. The
anti-Chinese senators are indignant ut
the course of Minister WI. No foreign
minister ever has attempted to influence
legislation by personal solicitation in the
halls of the national capitol. Minister
WI has been in touch with senators in
the last week trying 10 minimize the
strength of tine machinery which is to he
operated against his countrymen. There
is no objection to the Chinese minister
doing al he can for his government and
people through attorneys or diplomatic
influence. But members object most de-
cidedly tn the Chinese minister or any
other minister or ambassador from for
egn power seeking personally to shape
the acts of the American congress.

mts. Mr.. Coogan's pledge to contribute
100000 to the fund.
The conference in Mr.. Coogan's office
lasted about an hour. The news leaked
out shortly after the committee went
away. There was Il rush for Mr.. CoOgan
nj once TO find out if the story Of his lib
eral contribution was true. He said it
was, but declined to 20 into details. He
even refused to say who were in the par
ty that called on him, but il was said that
National Committeeman Frank Campbell
was present.
CO0gan Admits II.
Mr.. Coogan chcrrfHlly admitted that
he had promised the money, hclievng
that Mir. Bryan would be the candidate
Of the Democratic party and for the pur-
pose of clecting the man from Nebraska.
His action had the sanction of the leaders
of Tammuny Hail, he added, as he had
let Mr.. Croker know what he was going
to do and no objection had come from
that quarter
II has been understood around the city
hall for some time that Mr.. Coogan had
vice presidential ambitions, and it is be-
lievcd that he thinks he has chance to
be Mr.. Bryan's running mate ON the
Democratic ticket.

The Mulciing rejoicingS have caused
4he weekly papers to print articles on the
increase Of hysterical outbursts in Eng
land, and they ask the question if the
race is really losing its characteristics.
A curious feature of the demonstra-
tions was the enormous number of but
tons bearing Baden-Powell and Roberts
photographs. The public here has taken
up the button fad with an energy equal
to ANYTHING in its history in America.
The bulk of these buttons was imported
from America, the shrewd manufacturers
having secured photographs of British
officers likely to become popular. ma
iority of the thousands of union jacks so
.Tnadiy waved in the streets was made in
,ermany, while the red, white and blue
favors so universally worn came from
Australia.
Major General Baden-Powell, by the
way, is now suffering the fate OF all he
roes in being engaged by rumor to several
young women in various parts of the
country. Like Kitchener, he will proba-
bly, live down the rumors.
