NM. WI TING, FANG
SOON SAILS FOR CHINA

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Minister WI
Ting Fang has made his arrangements to
return to China as soon as his successor
arrives in Washington. AS soon as he
arrives in the Chinese capital he will take
up the work of codifying the laws Of Eu-
rope and America for the use Of the Chi
nese government, and will endeavor TO
restore some of the progressive spirit that
had developed when he came to this eoun-
try in 1897.
Yuan Shi Kai, the new minister, Is well
known and liked by former Minister WI.
Yuan Shi Kai is also we'll thought OF by
the state department. He was one of the
progressive Cinnamon who assisted in get
ting word from the Chinese capital that
the legations were safe two years ago,
when the whole world thought they had
been massacred and such lurid accounts
of the massacre had appeared in the
press, originating from unreliable CORE
spondents of sensational papers. He is
one of the most powerful viceroys In
China and Is imbued with the fact that
China must develop. If he works in har-
mony with WI great results may be look
ed for in China on the line of railroads
and newspapers, and when she secures
these her development will be rapid. The
retiring minister intends TO write two
books ON his observations outside Of
China One viii be In Chinese for the ben
eft Of orientals so as to give them an
idea of the western world and the other
will be in English giving the views Of a
Chinaman regarding the civilization OF the
western world.

TO PAY VISIT TO STAIN

NEW YORK, July f7-Emino De OLE
da, the new Spanish minister to this coun-
try, is in the city, and will remain here
for short time before going to Newport
for the remainer of the summer. Discuss
ing the conditioner trade in Strain and the
proposed reciprocity treaty with the Unit
ed States. the minister Is quoted by the
Journal of Commerce as saying:
spain. having lost her colonies. fully
recognizes the Importance Of increasing
her commercial relations in order to adj
Just her affairs TO the new conditions. But
what IN needed as a preparation for in
creased commercial intercourse is better
understanding and more general inter-
course between the two peoples.
81 think that q happy and practical way
OF creating this better understanding has
been hit upon. The idea is tp establish a
kind Of syndicate to comprise the rich
bankers IN Spain. the railroad companies,
the hotels. ETC.. for the purpose OF en-
couraging American tourists to visit our
country. The plan is to make the trip as
cheap and IL every way as pleasant as
