Advices Received by Minister Wu Re-

The State Department has made the fol-
lowing announcement:
'.The Chinese minister. Mr.. WI, has re-
cefved from Prince Ching. through the Chi
nese minister at Toxic. telegraphfc informa-
tion to the effect that an imperial edict was
issued on the 18th instant providing that
the tsung-lf-yamen be replaced by board
Of foreign affairs. Wet WI Pu,' which
shall take precedence Of the other boards.
Prince Ching has been appointed the presi-
dent OF the board; Weng Wen Shao, now
grand secretary. Is to be associate minister
for foreign affairs Chu Hung Chi Is to be
vice president of the board and associate
minister for foreign affairs. and Hsu Shou
Peng and Lien Fang will be junior Vice
presidents"
Prince Ching. who is to be the head OF
the reorganized foreign office of China, is
one Of the best friends OF foreigners in the
fowery kingdom.
BY those who have met him Ching Is de-
scribed as prudent and sensible man, of
medium stature. about sixty years old
When difficulties with France compelled
the retirement of Prince Kung. one Of the
most enlightened Of Chinese ministers. as
president Of the foreign office in 1884.
Prince Chun. father OF the recently de-
posed emperor. tried for a short time to
carry on the affairs Of the foreign office,
but quickly relfnquished the position to
Prince Ching. his own close friend and the
Intimate Of Prince Kung.
When Lord Charles Beresford was In Pc
kin In October. 1898. and had a long audi
ence with all the members Of the foreign
office. Prince Ching seemed much Impress
ed with Beresford's advocacy Of reforms
needed to strengthen China to resist disin-
tegration and protect commerce. While he

and the abolition of the provincial system
would be too radical an innovation on long
custom to be practicable. Prince Ching, as
the result Of his visitors advice, arranged
for the immediate drilling Of 1900 troops
under British officer as an experiment
and promised further to consider the situ-
alton.
After the crash came last year Prince
Ching was deposed from the head Of the
foreign Office. and Prince Tuan. a rabid
hater Of foreigners, was substituted. Now,
after years lapse. Tuan Is in exile and
Ching Is to take the seat Of power once
more.

BRITISH COTTONs PREFERRED
Cuban Purchases Of American GO0da
Fall ON.


Fall on.
A comparative statement Of the imports
of cotton goods into Cuba during the call
endar years 1899 and 1900 has been pre-
pared for publication In the division Of In
sular affairs Of the War Department.
The statement shows that cotton goods
to the value of $8.O79.757 were imported
during 1900, as against S6225. .O57 during
1899, showing slight falling or In 1900.
The statement shows that the United
Kingdom sent to Cuba in 1900 81, ,965 3O7
worth of cotton goods, as against s. 1922
OBS for 1890, an increase In favor Of 1900
Of $773. .2S2 In sharp contrast to this was
the amount sent from the United States
to Cuba. In 1899 Cuba took from the
United States 1887, TAI worth, while in
1900 she took only $42O, ,142 worth, q de-
crease OF $917, 500
States trade for the years mentioned is ac-
counted for In great measure by the con-
dttions prevailing during the 1899 period
During the earlier months Cuban import
ers naturally inferred that the old prac-
tices favorable to the importation Of Span
tsh goods would be continued and be ap-
piled to commodities coming from the
United States. When after the experience
of several months it was discovered that
all goods. regardless Of their origin, were
entered and duty collected according to
the fixed tariff rates, and that the benefits
OF a discriminating tariff no longer ap-
piled. the experimenters abandoned the
United States goods, for which the local
buyers were not prepared. and resumed
their old and preferred relations with Eu-
rope, evidently finding It more profitable
to deal with the United Kingdom The
Cuban people, through long use, have
come to prefer goods OF European make
The close proximity of this country does
not affect the situation. and 1t is reason
able to expect that, until the United States
manufacturers follow the methods of other
countries In making goods expressly for
the Cuban market there will be no decided
change In her trade relations with the
United States.

AGREEMENT LOOKED FOR.
Indiana Miners and Operators Are
Discussing the Wage Scale.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 15.-The
Joint scale committee of Indiana miners
and operators met this afternoon, and.
while there are many matters to be passed
on. it is believed an agreement will be
reached. perhaps by the first of next week.
The miners want an advance from $2.10 a
day for mule drivers and rock men TO $2.25,
and from $2.15 to $2.25 for top men and
timber men. The question as TO. the right
of the United Mine Workers also to sign a
contract for the wages of hosting en-
gineerS and blacksmiths, which the organ
izations of the two latter classes of labor
resist, has not been taken up. but there is
reason to believe the operators will agree
To 1t If what they call proper safeguards
are stipulated in the contract. This will be
a departure from the action of the joint
conference in Illinois. where the operators
gained their point by excluding the en-
gineers and blacksmiths from the general
contract.
