cHINA's BANKING SYSTEM.
Wu Tins-fans Delivers an Address
Before New York FinaucIers

BUFFALO, June 22-At the second
session Of the New York State Bank
ers' Association, now in session in this
city, WI Ting-fang was the principal
speaker. He spoke on The Banking Sys-
TEN of China" He began by describing
the first coin of that country, made TWEEN
ty-seven centuries before the Christian
era, and gradually led up TO the introduc-
ton OF foreign commerce and money and
said:
Banking in this country, understand,
includes in its transactions securities Of
all kinds. In China bankers deal almost
wholly with money and credit Our mon
etary system IS not uniform throughout
the Empire The only money which has
a recognized uniform value in every part
of the realm is the coin called by foreign
ers in China cash
"One would think that in a great in
ternationaI trade centre like Hcngkong
where the merchants are of nearly all
natioualities. some Americans would have
established themselves in business, but
according to a report of your late Consul
General WiIdInan for 1860 there was not
single American firm in that colony. This
cannot be considered a satisfactory state
Of things from an American point of view
l hope that at your next annual convention
you viii be able to report not only the
existence Of some American mercantile
houses in that colony. but through our in
fiuence and support the establishment Of
an American bank in China
Although the volume of China'S trade
with the United States Is of considerable
magnitude and China draws largely upon
the United States for railway and other
supplies most of the business is trans
acted, not with Americans directly, but
through the agency of European or other
merchants. At present Americans in Chi
na, in the conduct Of their ordinary mer-
camille or contract business, are obliged
TO do their financieTfng through European
hanks"

PRINTING FOR DEPARTMENTS.
All Work Must BE Done at the Gov
eminent Printing Office.

The Secretary of the Interior recently
requested q decision from the Comptroller
of the Treasury as to whether the former
would be permitted to have certain
printing done outside the Government
Printing Office. The Comptroller decided
the case in the negative. The Secretary
Of the Interior referring to the question,
said that II was his desire to have printed
out Of the appropriation for the exhibit
Of the Interior Department at the Pan
American Exposition a short history of
the Patent Office. and to distribute the
same in connection with the exhibit Of
the Interior Department at Buffalo
Owing to the reduced cost" he added,
1T is desired to have this work done out
side the Government Printing Office"
In passing on the case, Robert ]
TraeeweIl, Comptroller of the Treasury,
said:
Section 81 of the act of January u.
1895, provides, All printing. binding. and
blank books for the executive depart
meuts shall be done at the Government
Printing Office, except in cases other
wise provided by law
1T has been held that this section ap-
plies TO all boards. commissions, OF eS-
Establishments of the Government in this
city, even though not under one of the
executive departments proper. if they are
otherwise within the terms Of the act.
and that it governs all printing done by
their direction, or by direction of an ex-
eCutiVe department proper, even though
for use outside the District of Columbia
In this view Of the case, I am OF the
opinion that, whether the printing in
question be considered printing for the
Pan-American Exposition or printing for
the Interior Department, it is within the
meaning OF the section. if done by your
direction under the authority of the act
of March j 1899. and hence. that the law
( requires that it shall be done at the Gov

NEW YORK, May PA dispatch TO the

the scene of a more acute phase of the
controversy over looting. The question was

subject of looting Ministers of two Euro
pean countries rose successfully and made
statements TO Lady Mcdonald s
behavior the day OF the first

which were practically identical. They
were with her throughout the day and de-
plunder except yellow rose plucked in the
Empresss garden. But they said, we did,
however, witness scene of looting,
which, together with Lady Mcdonald, we
tried but unsuccessfully, to prevent In the
palace we met the wife of an American ac-
companied by an American curio dealer.
We suggested that the reception was
exclusively for the members of the diplo-
matte corps, but she persisted in taking
the curo dealer, whose expert opinion She
wanted upon some of the Empress's orna-
ments. Reaching the pavilion the curio
dealer said: Here. / am informed. most
valuable porcelain is concealed" In spite
OF the protests of Lady Mcdonald and our
selves the wife of the American tried to
open the cupboards. Finally, she called an
American soldier. who pried a cupboard
open with his bayonet, whereupon. not
wishing to assist at 2 scene we could not
prevent, we withdrew The American
representative at the meeting made no
