AMBASSADOR WHITE
 MAILS RESIGNATION
WILL LEAVE HIS POST IN GER MANY AS SOON AS SUCCESSOR IS APPoINTED-ToWER PROF. ABLE SUCCESSOR.

Berlin, August 5-Ambassador White mailed his resignation to the United States several days ago. It Is to take eff feet early in November. The resigna- ton may now be in the hands of Presi- dent Roosevelt. The date set by the ann basbador for his resignation to go into effect was November T. He is now at Homburg where he is taking the waters and where he probably will remain till the end of the month.
 There is much gossip at Berlin con corning MT. Whites probable successor and one circumstantial story is that the President intends to transfer Ambassador Tower from St. Petersburg to Berlin, Minister Storer from Spain to be ambas- sador to Russia, and to appoint Henry White, now secretary of embassy at Lon don, as minister to Spain. MT. Tower who has been dissatisfied with St. Petersburg, expressed months ago wish to be trans ferred to some other equally desirable post, preferably Berlin
 Andrew D. White was appointed ann bassador to Germany April l, 1897. In March 1t was announced that he contem- plated resigning because of i'll health.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY
 WILL GREATLY MISS
 FASCINATING MRS. WU

companied her everywhere, to dinners, luncheon. balls. receptions and visiting and by his tact grace and suavity made friends in the official circle.
 Mrs. Wus little feet preclude her from walking and her daily exercise Is taken in an invalid's chair. which Is pushed by one of the servants belonging to the legation, or in an automobile. when the minister himself. who Is devoted to the sport and has become an adept, acts as chauffeur.
 Minister Wu has delayed his departure for Atlantic City on account of his recall. and in the hot evenings with Mrs. Wu and their sons seeks an asylum in Dupont circle, which is within easy walk of the legation. There. seated in democratic style upon bench, they watch the people strolling by and the pairs of lovers who seek secluded hooks in which to carry on their counting.
 The personnel of the Chinese legation is larger than that of any other lega- ton or embassy in town. not excepting Great Britain, and numbers some fifty persons. including, beside the secretaries and attaches. doctor, tailor. shoemaker. cooks. barbers, valets, and last, but not least, the ubiquitous laundryman. Mrs. Wu has the direction of this large house. hold and is said to be a model house. keeper.

NOT RELYING ON MORGAN.
Proposition of American Financier Is Discussed In House of Commons.

London, August 5-In the course of the consideration of the natal estimates in the house of commons today. Edmund Robertson. liberal. alluding to the state ment that J. P. Morgan had offered the government the right to utilize the ves- sels of the ship combine company as British cruisers, said that he hoped that neither the admiral nor the government would make a conclusive bargain In so serious a matter without affordng the people an opportunity to consider it.
 Hugh O. Arnold Forster, secretary of the admiralty, in reply, said he was not in a position to make statement on the subject except to say that the admiralty certainly was not relying on any pledge made by any foreigners. The subsidies to which the admiralty was now committed. however, would be paid With respect to the subsidy ships Mir. Arnold-Forster said they were absolutely under govern ment control during the subsidy period. Continuing the secretary to the admiralty said he was not in a position to state what might be the ultimate decision of the government on the larger question of subsidization or in regard to the contribu- tions towards the establishment of new lines between the United Kingdom and the colonies.

Hzz HAT the wife of wu Ting Fan

Exz HAT the wife of Wu Ting Fang
 will be greatly missed in Wash
 \ ington when she returns to China in consequence of her husband's S recall Is agreed upon by all the society correspondents. one of whom declared re- gently in a Washington letter that while many Oriental women have resided there who are pleasantly remembered. not one of them has succeeded in making such an impression as Mrs. Wu.
 Small of figure. with the fiat nose. broad cheeks and thin lips of the Mon golian," writes this correspondent Mrs. Wu has luminous brown eyes that would grace any face. Her expression denotes decision and character. Since her hus- band was accredited here in May, 1897, she has been a central figure in official life. She is, indeed quite as remarkable in her way as her husband and is credit ed with having ability and force of char acter not generally associated with wo- men of her race.
 Mrs. Wu comes from one of the most ancient families in China and is of pure Chinese blood. her origin and rank being indicated by her costume. The gorgeous eagle embroidered upon her breast is one of the most important features about her dress, as 1t indicates that she Is of equal rank with her husband and priv ileged to enter and leave the room at his side, rather than behind him as would be the case were she of lower caste.
 The beads around her neck have also an especial significance and are worn ,xy hof oF ooIa kingdom to show their station. These necklaces vary with the seasons, jade and coral being adopted for winter, san dal wood for summer wear
 Mrs. Wu's feet are tiny. as befits her rank and clad in the marveIous little shoes which are rarely seen in this part of the world save in the cases of the museum. She dresses handsomely, in keeping with her station and wealth, for she is rich in her own right and brought her husband a generous share of this worlds goods.
 "Ier clothes are made in the legation by a Chinese tailor, wno IS a member of the minister's suite and are of magni- ficent silk, richly embroidered. Her dress es are all fashioned from the same model with scant skirt over tunic and jacket after a style set by royal decree.
 "The heavy black hair that crowns her head Is dressed according to the Canton mode and her head dress consists of single band of black velvet adorned with handsome jewel, which is worn in the house, as well as out of doors.
 Mrs. wu has been an industrious stu dent of English since she first came to this country, five years ago, and under stands 1t well. though she rarely attempts to converse in any language save her own, depending upon her husband to translate since she did away with the custom adopted by her predecessor, Mrs. Yang, of having an attache of the legation attend her as an interpreter. MT. Sze, who has since been graduated from Cor nell and has already made his mark in | the diplomatic service of his country, l filled this office for Mrs. Yang and ac-

TO TRY THE STRIKERS.
Federal Court Meets in Bluefieds, w
 Va, to Hear the Cases.

Bluefield. w. Va. August 5.-The fed eral court met in this city today. It is special term, the main business being the trial of a number of strikers who are ac- cused of violating the injunction awarded by Judge Kellar in the case of Castner, Curran and Bullitt vs. the Caswell Creek Coal and Coke company, ct al.
 There have been a number of arrests but none of the leaders or officials of the national organization are among them. For this reason it is not thought that fight will be made such as the mine workers made at Charleston, when some of the officials were on trial.
