st. Louis Jan. 22-Minister WI was the
guest of honor at a banquet given by the
Commercial club. Speaking on Commercial
Relations With China" Minister Wa adj
Nised those present that if the United
States desired to do a large business with
China she should send well educated men
to that country to learn Chinese manners
and customs. Americans, he contended,
must be patient with his benghted nation.
They were too fast for the average China
man and wanted results too quickly. If
this country wanted Chinese trade it should
encourage Chinese merchants and gradu-
ally school them in its way of carrying on
business relations with foreign countries
China afforded a great market for Aneri-
can goods, he said, and if Americans act on
the principle OF equity they will do ire
mendOus business with the oriental empire
He paid high compliment to the Ameri-
can people by saying they were a wonder
ful race. They did things in such a sys-
tenatic way that the Chinese longed to do
business with them on a larger scale BY
their ingenuity and by the perfection of
their machinery the people of the United
States can compete with any country in
the world When he was manager of
railroad in China years ago he bought his
supplies in Europe because they could be
had cheaper but times had changed since
then. Manufacturers in the United States
were now outbidding Europeans for bust
ness, and to them the Chinese are turning.
His people, he said, were noted for their
commercial integrity. There was nc fear
Of them leaving their contracts untitled.
Consequently, he averred, they were de-
sirable people 10 do business with.

TOLSTOI IMPROVES.
Count Only Suffering From a Severe
Cold and Fatigue.

New York, Dec. 5-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Times and
New York Times, commenting on the
circumstantial reports of the illness,
death and burial of Count Tolstoi
which have recently appeared, contra
diets them on the best authority He
says Count Tolstoi is suffering from a
severe cold and fatigue resulting from
over-indulgence in his favorite exercise,
riding. There is, however. no cause for
immediate anxiety regarding his condi-
ton.
The circulation of the reports, says
the correspondent, was caused by the
widespread belief that when Tolstoi
does die the news will be kept by the
censorship from the public as long as
possible. The ecclesiastical authorities
cannot accord Christian burial to
Tolstoias they have recently denounced
him as a hereto. The refusal to allow
the rites of the National church at the
grave of Tolstoi is sure to provoke an
outburst of indignation all over Russia
1t is therefore believed that the censor
ship will employ every means in its
power to suppress the news of Tolstoi's
death and burial when they occur
