Well Educated.
Washington. October 2G.-The census Of

ed states. 956 per cent Of the native
white children Of native parents and 90 /
per cent OF the native white children OF
foreign born parents are able TO read and
write. This surprising difference in favor
Of the children Of the foreiRn-born popula-
ton Is due LARGELY 10 che fact that the
children Of foreign born immigrants live
mainly ia the Northern and Western
states. where the public school aystem has
already reached a hiEh degree OF efficiency.
while great numbers Of native white chill
drep Of native parents live IN the Southern
states and IN that region about 10 per cent
OF such children are iillteafe When the
compar,son Il carried out BY geographic

Yet these fgures indicate that In every
region except the North Atlantic States
the literste children Of Immigrant whites
are larger per cent OF the whole number

Ii WROTE TO BOTH MEN.
But They Compared Notes and Spoil
ed His Effect.

Many tales are told of the dealings
of Ii Hung Chang with his diplomatic
subordinates, and there is character
istic story afloat with regard to his re-
lations with the present minister to
England, Sir Chihchen Lo Feng Luh.
The time was that of the siege of the
legations in Peking, when all the civil
liZed world was in fear as to the fate
of the beleaguered and when China,
with her emissaries and all pertaining
to her. was looked on with no very
friendly eye. Ii Hung Chang was the
virtual ruler of China, and it was from
him that the various ministers and EN-
bassadors received their instructions.
There had apparently been some fresh
manifestation of European displeasure
when one day the minister in England
received from Ii message the pur-
port of which was as follows
1--WE are not satisfied with your eff
forts in London. The English are hos
tile, and you must do something to al
ter matters. You are not energetic
enough You are neglecting to iniiu-
ence the government. The man who is
doing all the work is your colleague in
Washington. WI Ting Fang. He is the
man You should initiate"
Unfortunately for Lis little game,
Sir Chihchen and Wu Ting Fang hap
pened to he close friends, and the min
lister here cortided what had happened
TO his friend in Washington. Wu Ting
Fang was, to say the least of it, sur
prised.
This is very extraordinary he re-
piled. 81 also have had Il message from
Ii Hung Chang. This is what he says
TO me:
"'Your efforts are not giving salts
| faction. We feel you should be more
energetic and that you should try to
influence the American government TO
take our side in this affair. You are
not doing half enough and if you want
IN example you should turn to Sir
| Chihchen I.o Feng Luh, the minister in
London. He Is the man who is doing
all the work. '"-Candid Friend.
