CHINESE ARE INTERESTED.
An Epitome of Actual Chinese Life
May he "A Feature of the st.
. Louis Worlds Fair.

St. Louis, Nov. ia Chinese vii
lage, upon which the native mer-
chants of Hong-Kong, China, desire to
expend 100000 to $l,000,000, is dis
play for which space is asked from
the exposition management.
Chu Fong, leading Chinese mer-
chant of New York city, is the agent
of the Hong-Kong syndicate. He has
authorized Attorney Cornelius N.
Bauer, Of st. Louis, TO offer bond Of
$4,000 to 100000 to the exposition
as a guarantee that the exhibit will
surpass any similar display ever made
at a Worlds fair.
Chu Fong will visit ST. Louis and
present the request of his countrymen
to the exposition management. His
statements to Attorney Bauer are
that the Chinese in this country, and
those abroad, who have trade rela-
tons with the United States and the
world, are opposed to Chinese mid
way show, which would detract from
the TRUE standing Of the progressive
Chinese people. They say they want
something representative of them or
nothing at all. But the element Of
the picturesque is not eliminated from
their plan. An epitome of Chinese
life from the time of Confucius is the
keynote of the proposed display. The
oldest phases of the Flowery King
dom will be contrasted with its mod
ern development.
The native promoters of the exhibit
ask for year to complete the collec-
ton Of types of the older civilization
from the interior of the Chinese en-
pire. They remind the exposition au-
thorities that the means of commune
cation and transportation in China
are hundreds Of years behind those
of the latter civilizations. When they
are sure that space will be reserved
for them the active work of collecting
the exhibit will begin. A list of some
of the features which it is proposed
to introduce into the exhibit are set
forth in the application for space.
In his letter to his legal representa-
tive here, Chu Fong says: ut is the
object of the applicants to erect build
ings and conduct "A Chinese exhibit
surprising anything that has ever
heretofore been shown In this coun-
try, not only overshadowing any for
mer Chinese exhibit, but surprising
any other foreign exhibition contem-
plated for this great Worlds fair"

DICKINsON's NEGOTIATIONS.
OHiciai Reports Confirm Those OF the
Newspaper Press.

Washington, Nov. i4.--Such official
information as comes to the state de-
partment from Sofa and CONSTANT
nope is confrmatory Of the press re-
ports OF Mr.. Dickinson's negotiations
with the bulgarian government touch
ing Miss Stones case. II Is believed
that the consul generals efforts to Sc
cure Miss Stones release by negota-
tions with the brigands, without in
reference by the Bulgarian govern
ment, will be successful. 1t Is appre-
hended. however, that through his de-
clnnton to permit the Bulgarian gov
eminent TO exert its police authority
TO effect the capture OF the kldnapcrs,
Mr.. Dickinson may have absolved that
government from any legal liability
on account OF the amount Of money
which must be paid over as ransom to
secure Miss Stones release.

the sake of the education it would be to

that to go in such a manner might be
regarded in Siam as indicating something
of hostility, or at least indifference to his
country.

Siam is well disposed toward us and
thoroughly appreciates the influence of
America in the Chinese question. She has
known US. with the exception of the
Cheek case, very favorably through our
missionaries, but naturally through such
a channel she has known US only as a
good people rather than as a great and
strong nation. For political power she
has always looked toward Europe only.

thinks that such a visit would lead to a
better appreciation of American Institu-
tions on the part of the Siamese.
For some years there have been period
ical rumors that the King intended visit
ing America. There is a certain degree
of caution required in discussing and ar
ranging such a trip, because of the ne
cessity of determining the exact status
of the King abroad in such manner
that nothing might happen in his treat
ment which would cause him to lose dig
nifty in the eyes of his people. While the
King was on his trip through Europe
several years ago circumstances with re-
gard to his reception gave rise to much
newspaper comment and misinterpreta-
ton II is against the possibility of such
misinterpretatiOn that he wishes to guard.
He appreciates that for one monarch 10
visit the realm of another means an in
Vitation from the sovereign host and
more or less recognition on the part of
the government to which he is Of neces-
sity in the position of a guest. He at
the same time appreciates that with our
republic 1t must be quite otherwise, and

The stars and stripes have not been

ing it's way there and her products are
commencing themselves in competition
with the cheap stuffs that flood the Orr
ent. Japan has opened her doors toward
American goods and American insttu-
tions, and the ways Of Japan are the am
bition of her little sister. AllNhis makes
the King the more desrous of knowing

Bee Venom for rheumatism

10S DOCTOR of much repute in Vien-
IN ma advocates as an effective rem
!" edy for rheumatism the saturat-
ing of the patients body with the
venom of bees. For the purpose he ex-
tracts the venom treasuring it up in
quantity and applying it artificially in the
way of punctures. He founds this treat
ment on his discovery that rheumatic pa
tients do not suffer from a bees sting
to anything like the same degree as other
people He found that the tumefaction
or swelling that follows the stinging of
bee does not appear in the rheumatic pa
tient unless he has been stung several
times, while in some cases the stinging is
hardly felt. When the patient suffers
himself to be stung repeatedly his i'm
munity against the poison of the bee be-
comes complete and he feels no pain
whatsoever. What is more, he gets
cured of his rheumatism.

AID FOR MARTIN HOGAN.

 Just Too Late.

One of Waterbury's prominent DnSi- ness men, who keeps q very close watch upon the movements of niell who have made sacrifices for the good of humanity, noticed an article in thn Democrat q week or so since regnr.i- ing the condition of Martin Hogan. Il noted Tenian, who was said to be dying in a hospital at Chicago, and at once forwarded $5 to John Finnertv of the Citizen requesting him to turn it into T fund to assist Hogan. He also ill., closed the clipping from the Democrat and made some reference to the effect that Hogan's past history should be sufficient to warrant him in looking to men of his race to see that his lass days were made as comfortable as pns- sible. To-day the Waterbury man-hc stubbornly refused to consent 10 the use of his name-received a letter from Editor Finnerty acknowledging the re- ceipt of the donation and stating thar since the article referring to IIogan's condition appeared in the papers. tlie patriot had been called away.
