WI TING FANG LEAVES
WHEN SUCCESSOR COMES

WASHINGTON, oct 2S.-Minister WI
Ting Fang has not been advised of the
appointment of Yuen Shi Kai as minister
Of commerce of the Chinese empire, al
though in his view, such an appointment
would not be unlikely. Yuen Shi Kai is the
viceroy of Chi Ii province. When the
late Ii Hung Chang was the viceroy of
that province he also held the title Of
minister of commerce. At that time the
title was practically only honorary, as
his manifold duties as viceroy prevented
him from divers attention to other mat
tiers. Minister WI, while he says he has
no definite information, believes it prob
able that Yuen Shi Kai may have re-
ceived the title of minister of commerce
precisely as Ii Hung Chang received 1t.
The ministry of commerce to which
Minister WI has been appointed is a spe-
cial board whose duties relate to the EN-
pire as a whole. He will be in associa-
ton with Chang Hio Liang and perhaps
with others, the title of each of whom
will be minister of commerce. Yuen Shi
Xai may be one of these. 1t is the hope
of Minister WI that Yuen Shi Kai has
been so designated as he is friend Of
WI and a statesman and diplomatic of
ability and distinction. 1t seems the more
likely, however, that the title conferred
upon him is of an honorary character and
that I'm common with other Chinese
viceroys, he will have to do with the min
istry of commerce only so far as the
opinions of the minister may affect the
particular province of which he is gov
ernor.
Minister WI has received no advices In
dicating the probable time of the arrival
in Washington of his successor, Minister
LANG. Minister TLiang was appointed
minister to the United States early last
summer and subsequently made a brief
trip to this country as a member of the
suite of the emperOr's cousin. The time
of his arrival I'm the United States will
be dependent entirely upon the orders Of
the Chinese foreign officers.

to Democratic success.
The majority of Governor Jelks over

only been warm in the seventh district,
where Congressman John L. Burnet is
being given warm race by o. D. Street
the Republican-Populist candidate. Many
speakers were sent into that district by
the Democrats and all of them did some
good. The Republicans claim that they

perts said, that the same hand wrote all

his hand made the disputed writings.

said, has conceded that one hand wrote
the Barnett" and Cornish letters and
the poison package wrapper.

MISS ANTHONY MOURNS
DEATH OF HER FRIEND

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Oct 27.-The news
OF the death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
fell with crushing weight upon Susan b.
Anthony who had planned to go to New
York on November u to assist the ven
cradle advocate of woman's suffrage in
the celebration of her eighty-seventh
birthday. Miss Anthony tonight said:
Through the early days, when the
world was against us, we stood together.
Mrs. Stanton was always a courageous
woman. a leader of thought and new
movements. I always called her the phi
losopher and statesman of our movement.
She was a most finished writer, and
every state paper presented to congress
or the state legislature in the early days
was written by Mrs. Stanton.
1.-The last time I saw Mrs. Stanton was
in June She talked about the other side, :"
said Miss Anthony, but had no faith
that there was any other world. She
always said this was a beautiful world
and she wanted to stay here as long as
possible. She believed in the immutable
law in everything. and did not believe in
any special providence for herself or any
one else"
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton have
campaigned together all over this coun-
try. They went to England together in
1883.
"She went to call an international suf-
frage convention" said Miss Anthony
''but the English people were afraid Of
It then. But it was at that time she con-
ceived the 1Oea Of the convention, which
five years later was held in Washington
and later formed into the International
Council of Women. We received many
attentions on this visit to England, be-
ing received by John Bright and other
distinguished persons"
