WI TING FANG.
The willy Diplomat Who Represents
China at Washington.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Transcript sends the follow.
Ing to that paper concerning the Chi
nese minister WI Ting Fang
The Chinese troubles have brought
into special prominence not only here,
but to lesser extent throughout the
civilized world, MIR. WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister at .his capital.
he is recognized as one OF the most re-
markable men that China has ever
produced. Not only is he unlike for.
mer Chinese ministers here, but he is
not at all typical OF the ministers now
representing China at the European
and o,her capitals. SO famous has he
become that the suggestion has been
| made in one OF the new wspapers that the
present dynasty should ba overthrown
by the powers and WI Ting Fang es-
| taOliSnei as ruler. with the police sup
| port OF the western nations. While
this scheme Is obviously Chimerical,
| there is something in the conditions OF
Mr.. Wu's appointment and his record
here to make him man whose career
may we'll be watched.
He represents not the China Of traui
tion, but the aggressive commercial
elements, English and American,
which are gaining q foothold there
His appointment was recognition OF
these interests. He Is one Of the most
cosmopolitan OF men. He was the first
Chinese to take a full legal course in
England and be admitted rs barr lister
there. He could put out his shingle in
London tomorrow and practice law
with success. His command OF the
English language Is excellent and he
is almost rs familiar with western in.
stltutions as any n8tive OF the new
world. 1t Is said that WI owes his ap
pointment and promotion, while stand.
ing for the progressive element in
Chinese affairs, to the favor OF Lii Hung
Chang. who. early discovered Wu's ab-
ilities and decided to bring him to the
front. WI is Il genuine Chinese and
not Manchu, whicn makes his riso in
politics all the more notable. He has
no long line Of mandarin ancestors, but
what was better, Chinese family Of
sufficient means and intelligence to
send him to Europe for an education.
How successful Minister WI would
be as tho trustee OF western civiliza.
tion in the management Of China could
not be fOretOld. 1t is feared that his
western education and associations
would make him persona non grata to
the stolid Chinese element, but that
this element viii have much to BAY in
may be an open question. The next
difficulty to come would be the rivalry
between the Slav and Tho Saxon. II is
unlikely that Russia would look with
favor upon any man whom the two
great English-speaking peoples ex
pressed Willingness to support IN this
capacity. For Minister Wu every body
In Washington has the kindlicst OF
feelings. He is genial and approach
able 1T all times and talks freely and
tntelligently upon the great public
questions. At tho samo time no ap-
pears to love his land, and to be keoniy
alive to its greatest needs.
