CHINESE MINISTER'S SPEECHES.

CHINESE MIN1S1ER'S SPEECHES.
Now that our relations with Asia
are broadening out it is a pleasure to
discover that the Chinese minister to
the United States, WI Ting-Fang, can
express himself with facility in the
English language and make very
good speech at short notice on almost
any subject. He was in Philadelphia
last week and delivered an extended
address before the University OF Penn
fylvania on the prope relations of the
United States with the orient. Before
leaving the city be spoke 10 the pupils
of several high schools and schools for
girls. and, appearing in the garb OF his
own country. was certainly an inter-
psting figure One point he emphasized
in the university address was that the
customs, manners, language, mode or
education and way of thinking in Asia
are different from those in Europe and
America, and should be judged cOnsid-
erately. 1t is. for instance, n complt-
ment in China for persons just intro
duced TO ask each Others ages, a lauda-
BILE action there, but one that would
ne unwelcome and misinterpreted In
western countries.

the victorious Russians in their march

also in the past forty or fifty years the

HOARD OF TRADE FRAUDS.

The federal grand jury at Chicago
has voted true bills against the MEM
beers OF a board of trade firm which is
believed to have engaged in bucket
shop operations. That there was
pretty strong evidence of bucket-shOp-
ping in this particular case may be in
ferred from the indictments returned.
Conducting a bucket-shop is an olfense
under the laws Of the state of Illinois.
But probably all men with experience
in such matters would have considered
it almost useless to attempt prose-
cution in the state courts. The pres
ent indictment is for using the mails
10 defraud country patrons. What the
country needs is a law that Will pre-
vent all kinds OF specializing. whether
il is trading in options or futures or
anything that does net require legiti-
mate labor

withdrawal of the Beers from Coles

ming of the fourth stage of the cam
paign in South Africa. The first stage

middle of October. The object was TO

tricts of Natal. to gain possession of
the railroads extending into the Free
State and the Transvaal by way OF
Laing's Mex and Van Reenens Pass,
10 prevent the use of the railroads in
