PEKING, Nov. 2-Yesterday the recall
of Wu Tingfang, the Chinese minister at
Washington, was decided upon. He will be
offered, it is announced, subordinate post
i'm the Foreign Office beneath his abilities,
which it is believed he will decline.
Ii Hung Changs interpreter, Tseng,
adopted son of the Marquis Tseng, is a
prominent candidate for the Washington
mission. He is thirty years of age and was
educated in England.
Chang Tee vi has been appointed minister
in London. He is ffty-fve years of age
and was formerly interpreter at the Chi
nese legations in London and Berlin. He is
a progressive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The Chinese le-
cation is without advices bearing out the
Peking report of the decision of the recall
of Minister Wu. At the same time, there
is no disinclination at the legation to ac-
cept the report as true, for two reasons
First. the official dispatch in matters al
most invariably is a day or two later than
the press dispatch. as occurred in the case
of the recall of Minister Yang Ye, Mr.. Wu's
predecessor, and, second, the prescribed
term of three years of Mr.. WI expired
some months ago Mr.. WI has been at
Ann Arbor. Mich, and is not expected back
before tomorrow night or Monday. 1t was
stated at the legation tonight that there
were no Peking dispatches awaiting the
minister's return.
There have been rumors for some time
that Mr.. Wu would be recalled. So far the
gossip from the Chinese court has men
toned but two names as possible success
ors. Those are Tseng, Ii Hung Chang 5
Interpreter, and Ii Cheng Fang. a son of
that viceroy. The latter is about fifty
years old.
Mr.. Cheng Tu vi. appointed 10 the Chi

jealous and are going to make it hot for
you.
"Ah. you do not understand our people.
We are a queer people" said Mr.. WI. and
then adroitly changed the subject. Mr.. Wu

The general belief at the time. as stated
in the Journal. was that Governor Durbin
had made up his mind TO refuse the requisi-

formation by reading the Powers testimony

the public recognition Of sexlessness in
work and sexlessness in pay, not only for
the newspaper woman hut ultimately for
all the vast army Of feminine breadwin-
ners.
= ut has been my privilege to know per-
sonally many of the leading newspaper
women of the North and East and South
and West. but in reality the conditions of
life everywhere in our country are much
more alike than we are accustomed to
st..,nk. and the newspaper woman Of one
sections differs but little from the press
woman Of the other. Everywhere women
are spanking babies and giving pink teas
and holding club meetings. and organiz-
Ing charities, and it is along these lines
of eternal feminine interest that news
paper women mostly work for.
Let no man deride this, or underrate
the talent it takes to write up we'd
ding and use enough adjectives to satisfy
the bride. and few enough not to call
down the wrath of the managing editor.
or to report a woman's meeting where 40
ladies talked at once, and went into
caucuses and Quorums and didn't know
how they got in or how in the world to
get out again.
People who do not know her often
speak of the newspaper woman as a kind
be a man and isn't satisfied to be a
woman-but in reality nowhere do the
essentially feminine virtues of patience.
loyalty. fidelity and sympathy shine with
a brighter luster than among these little
sisters Of the pen.
Give her a clew to a story and she
" i'll follow it up hill and down dale, with
the scent of sleuth hound and when
she has located it she will sit down upon
the doorstep and camp there until some-
body tells her what she wants to know.
Every woman is by nature partisan.
as she believes in her paper with pas
sion of loyalty.
Fond of talking as a woman is, she
would choke on her own words before
she would give story away that prom
Used a scoop. Whether her paper be the
metropolitan daily or the crossroads ga
zette, she believes it to be the greatest
paper, with the biggest circulation on
earth. What it advocates is her religion
sacrilege to differ with it in politics.
ITO a wonderful degree she sinks her
individuality in it, and seldom uses 1t
to avenge her wrongs or further her in
terests. If she has any clawing back to
do she does it outside of the paper, and
the woman who snubs little Miss Re-
porter goes serenely on her way, con-
scious that she will get just as good a
write-up of her ball or club paper as ii
she had been civil and obliging.
Somewhere in the great book where

the recording angel keeps the debit and
credit account of human deeds there
must be a very bright page where he
writes the name of the newspaper
woman. She sees much of the great
sorrows of the world-lives that have
been wrecked on the cruel rocks of fate,
and that float, human fiotsam and jet
sam, up to the door of every newspaper
office.
Such experiences seldom harden her
heart. Rather it grows broad and
tender with sympathy until 1t is great
enough to take in all of Gods weak and
erring. She,it is who oftenest writes up
the story of the starving family, that
sends charity to their door. She starts
the subscription that buys the crippled
newsboy a wooden leg. She listens with
divine patience to those helpless crea-
lures who have seen better days and who
think they would like to write poetry for
a living because it is nice, genteel en-
ployment they could carry on without
anybody finding it out.
Just how many deserving charities she
booms, just how many good causes owe
their success to her nobody ever stops to
consider. Her name never appears in the
card of thanks the directors and lady
patronesses' publish. but none the less
she is the humble little tug that lows
many a stately philanthropic ship into
harbor.
There is one eternal note of pathos in
all newspaper work, for the woman as
well as the man. Not for her the scroll
of fame, or the laurel crown of glory.
She must be content to see the cherished
children of her fancy die with the hour
that gave them birth. and he remembered
OF the world no more. Her reward is the
inspiring and intoxicating thought that
