might for the purpose Of delivering the Fourth
of July Grafton in the public exercises at Inde-
lpendence Hall Tomorrow and is a guest at the
Hotel Walton under the watchful eye Of city
detectives. In Washington this morning Minis
1er WI received anonymous letter from this
city in which the writer in effect. said that the
Chinese Minister would have TO take the conse-
pquences if he came here. The minister immedi-
iately communicated with John s. Hammond
chairman of the Philadelphia Councilmanic
iCcmmittee, and asked TO be relieved of the en-
gagement Chairman Hammond assured the
minister that no bodily harm would befau him.
and he was induced 10 keep his engagement
Ever since Minister Wu's name was suggested
as the Independence Day orator there have been
Individual criticisms against his having that
honor. The principal argument advanced was
that independence Day being purely an Arnerf-
can holiday, an American citizen should deliver
the oration. Most OF the criticism came from
clergymen. and neither the city officials nor the
minister officially paid any attention to it.
Minister WI met Wilmington, Del,
by the Councils committee and escorted TO this
city. AT the Broad Street Station of the Penn
sylvania Railroad three Of the city detectives
Joined the party and accompanied II to the
hotel The minister was adverse to having de-
iectlVe protection, saying that he had great con-
ndence in the American citizen and felt per
fectly safe without protection. He said he un-
oerstood that the Fourth of July was a day Of
great rejoicing and patriotism, and he came
here TO enter into the spirit OF it. The commit
Zee, however, decided that prudence dictated
caution. and Mr.. WI was accordingly safely
guarded

a change from engines to motors would end in

The question Of affording relief to nassengers

method of lessening the dis ,omfort according
