MINISTER WU'S SUCCESSOR
lie was Educated in Part in the
United States.

Pekln, Jnly 13.-Sir Liam Chen.
secretary of the Chinese embassy
TO the coronation of King Edwrrd
has been appointed minister to
the United States.
Mr. WI, the Chinese minister
at Washington, was not surpsised
to hear OF the appointment of a
successor to himself, as he had
expected an Announcement of this
character for some time. He
has received notice that his ser
vices would be required in anoth-
er capacity. The new minister
is said to be a man of prog
ressive ideas. He was one of the
four parties of Chinese boys why
were sent to the United States
about twelve years ago for the
purpose of completing their edu
cation.
The idea Of the Chinese Govern
ment was to have each OF the
boys spend fifteen years in this
country the earlier years of which
were to be in the preparatory
schools and the remainder in the
universities. Before Chen had
completed his course, however.
the plan was discontinued and
he returned home. Some wears
ago he served as interpreter at
the embassy here later he was
secretary of special mission
sent to Jadan, and when the iubi-
lee of Queen Victoria was cele-
brated he held similar position
to the embassy which went to
London.
The retiriug minister, Mr.. WI,
has been at this Capital since
April, 1897. The ordinary term
of ministers in the Chinese di
plomatic service is three years
and they are not reappointed.
MIR. Wu's term of service, how
ever, hrs been continued indefi-
nitely from time to time. Sew
eral months ago he was appainted
a member of the commission to
codify the existing Chinese laws
and prepare a seat of monern
laws for his country. Mr.. WI Is
also minister to Spain and Peru.

AN ARMY ROMANCE.
A North Carolina Girl Weds a
Gallant Soldier Boy

Special to The State.
Charlotte, July 12.-One of
the prettiest knots ever tied by
Cupid was the marriage of Miss
Katherine McNeelv Of Salisbury
last Wednesday to Lieut.. O. N.
Dixon, of the United States
cavalry. A year and a half ago
Miss McNeely visited her sister,
Mrs. II. H. Hall, in Puerto Rico,
where her husband, who is CAP
tam IN the same squad of horses
as Lieut.. Dixon, was then sta
toned. The young officer is a
tall, handsome brunette with
dashing ways, and the mag.
nlhcent broad-shouldered ply
slque that sets women's heart
ahame. The young lady is a tiny,
graceful girl, typically southern,
with dark dreamy eyes and a
gentle womanliness of charac-
ter that endears her to all who
know her.It was love at first
sight. But the engagement was
not definitely settled till eight
months ago when Miss McNeely
was again visiting her sister,
this time out in Utah, where
she was naturally much thrown
with her brother-in laws friend
and fellow officer.
No definite time had been set
far the wedding, however except
by Cupid. But three weeks ago
Lieut.. Dixon was ordered
to the Philippines for two years.
lie had 10 leave almost imme-
dlately, and his first thought
was for his lady love. He came
east at once, arriving in Sails
bury last Saturday, July 5. and
plead his case with3 mastoriul
impetuosity. The result shows
that the young lieutenant is as
successful a campaignCr . in
Cupld's army as in Uncle Sam :
for on Wednesday morning at
73O he married his bride and
took the morning train for
San Francisco with her beside
him.
The marriage was so sudden
and uneNpectcd"that not even
the brides ouC-of town rela-
tiveS were notified of the event
Itin u notice OF the iucJ appeared
IN the next day'sssS.paper. Not
even the brides sister out in
San Francisco was told, and she
is not to be told anytime
about it Till Lieut.. Dixon
arrived in San Francisco BRING.
ing her sister with him as his
wife. Then the two young coup
les will sail together for their
new home in the Philippines.
