Conger's Message And After News
Anent Yuan Shih kai
THE CAUSES OF REJOICING.

Washington, July 23.-Secretary
Hay had been prepared for the news
from Minister Conger by dispatch
from Consul Gen Goodnovv at Shang
hal telling of the transInittal of Con-
gers message Mr. Wu appeared at
the state department directly after
Goodnovv.s message was received Mr.
WI came tearing through the streets
in his autinob1e, having left his break
fast unfinished.
Throughout the day the Conger mes
sage remained the absorbing topic of
discussion Secretary Hay was con-
graduated on the success of the steps
he had taken to open up communities
ton between Pelxin and Washin ton,
for, while the chancellories of the
world stood hesitating and inactive,
he had adopted course which had
brought a message from our minister.
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI, shared
also in the universal appreciation of
what had been done. He seconded
Mr.. Hays effort from the outset, and
it is due to the official machinery set
in motion by him that the uniea-
tions We're got through.
A message from Consul Fowler that
General Yuan Shin Kai. governor of
Shang Tung province. reported that
the Chinese authorities We're doing all
in their power to put down the insur-
rection, is exceedingly welcome intel
igence- 1t not only confirms the
theory of the state department that
the position of the Chinese government
is correct, but is assumed to indicate
that Yuan Shin Kai has thrown the
weight of his influence on the side of
the government Yuan is considered
one of the ablest, if not the ablest,
al hi He has 6inC
to a statement made by Lord Charles
Beresford to prominent state depart
nIent official when he was here last
fall, the best drilled and equipped
army in China under his command.
Some doubt was entered as to which
side he would ally himself in the pres
ent instruction and the fact that he
appears to be on the side of the gov
eminent is accepted evidence that
his best Judgment is that Prince Tuan's
rebellion is destined to fail.

Parne1rs Superstition.

Parnen had some pet superstitions,
according to his biogra pher, Barry
O'Brien. He would not pass another
person on the stairs. He was horror
stricken to find himself sitting with
three lighted candles; the fall of a
picture in the room made him detected
for the entire afternoon and he would
have nothing to do with an important
bill drawn up by colleague because it
happened to contain thirteen clauses
He also thought green a most unlucky
co1or-a strange and inconvenient feel
ing for a Nationalist 1eader-and the
sight of green banners at the political
meetings he addressed often unnerved
him.
