sharp upward movement in a number OF
individual stocks in which an outstanding
short interest was driven to cover. Bust
ness continued in large part in profes

some time past. and the number OF
stocks which were notably active and
which showed wide movement of prices
was small. The general list outside OF

MINISTER WI INTERVIEWED.
Calm Should Replace Excitement and What 10
Do Carefully Considered.

Washington. July 1.-THE news uf
the fall of Tien Tsin was conveyed tn
the Chinese minister. early today. He
was deeply Interested. but evinced lit
tie surprise at this outcome. as he hal
looked upon the result as incvitahlv.
He was surprised that any effective
resistance had been made on the first
day Of the fighting.
Mr.. WI is remaining in practical Sc
clusion. He is anxious To- get away
ana take most needed rest, but hg
feels that he cannot do this while u
crisis is on. When seen. today. h
showed many evidences Of the strain
upon him. complaining Of headache
and sleeplessness from the constant
worry. He discussed the latest devel-
opments and while willing to assist
and advise in an Intelligent solution or
the present difficulty. he asked that his
personality be not tco prominently
brought to the front. as he feels this
to be a time for caution and reserve.
He was induced however. to answer
the following direct question:
Based on your knowledge Of the stu-
alton and familiarity with Chinese char
acter and affairs. how would you advise
that the present situation be met
The minister pondcreG for a time and
then said: The first essential in dealing
with the present situation is 10 maintain
calm in the midst of Tho present feVerish
excitement and TO avoid haSty COnclu-
SionS based upon multitude of conflict
ing reports. To be sure. it appears that
lighting has occurred Tien Tsin But
many of the most vital features Of this
affair are lacking. There is nothing to
show the steps taken by the Niccrrv or
the Taotai to maintain order ana prevent
bloodshed. II is clear that Ticu TSin is
cut off from Pckn. 20 that at most this
can he hut local demonstration and not
one attributable to the government ut
China.
Having secured dispassinnatc frame
of mind. the next question is how to meet
the actual occurrence in China. The first
suggestion is to send great bodies ~
troops and on that my position m akc;; il
impossible for me to express any opinion.
But this much at least seems plain to me
that with any armed force there should
90 above all civil officers or offices. men
of the very highest ability aud intClii-
gcnCc. That would afford an opportunity
to learn whether there was any need of
fighting. The purposes and the policy on
each side could he made plain. and there
could ne an intelligent understanding of
each other before a recourse to blood
shed.
Il have constantly advised the govern
ment at Pekin of the unSelSh attitude
of the United States. but it is another
thing TO make this perfectly plain in the
present emergency. and no one could du
this better than the civilian officials sug-
gested.'
