PEKING, Oct. 23.-There is strong oppo-
sition among conservative Chinese officials
to WI Ting Fang, Chinese Minister at
Washington, retaining a foreign mission
Those who take this view consider that
his popularity abroad is a proof that he
is not sufficiently loyal to the interests OF
China.
1t is probable that he will be recalled

Foreign Affairs, where his linguistic and
legal attainments may be utilized under

GUARDING OUR PRESIDENTS.
More Care Must BE Used Than Has
Been the Case Heretofore.

Philadelphia Times
The tragic experience of President McKln-
ley seems not 10 be taken to heart by mis-
successor, who gives little apparent care
to his own personal security. This is char
acteristic of the man. 1t is highly unde-
sirsble that We should live in the fear Of
danger TO our chief magistrates. We do
not wish America to become a republican
Russia, where the head Of the stat must
travel about in a bomb-pToof train. 1t is
an unhealthy condition of sentiment which
makes such precautions necessary. The fact
that movements are undertaken only under
police protection suggests 10 unbalanced
minds the possibility OF assassination.
At the same time il must be remembered
hat President Mckinley lost his life be-
cause he insisted on coming near to the
people while negleCting the ordinary sale
guards which man in such position
ought always to observe. It Is extraordinary
now soon we forget. We are disposed again
TO disregard the Anarchists, secure IN the
thought on sober reelection that the young
mtscreant who is so soon TO be deprived of
his life for his terrible crime was merely
a sporadic product and that no more OF
these demons are at large in the world.
We should not deceive ourselves. We 0ld
not know that this enemy of society lurksd
