WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Chinese minister has gone to At
lantic City for few days recreation,
where he joins Nine. WI, who has been
there for some time. The report in a
Paris paper that the Chinese minister at

the instigation of Count Lamsdorff is
not credited here, and Chinese officials
look upon it as a statement doing injus-
tice to Count Lamsdorff rather than to
Minister Yang Yu.

denial of the accuracy of the Interviews.
Reflections upon the personal character
of the president of Venezuela are not re-

the minister will be able to repudiate
these. Otherwise it would be manifestly
impossible for him to return to Vene-

which led to his departure were salts
factorily disposed of. The prevalent idea
is that no matter how these personal
questions are settled, it will be a long
