LiHung Chang's Last Words.

Historical fancy has put into the mouths
OF dying great men words which they
never uttered. Farewell phrases of the
eminent must naturally be in keeping
with the life records of those who spoke
them; consequently the world generally
will always be more ready to believe that
William Pitt exclaimed, MY country,
Oh, my country as he passed away.
than it will be to credit the story that
his last Ineligible words Were a request
for a meat pie,
Ii Hung Chang has not been dead long
ed for the edificauon of mankind, SO that
the tale told by DR.. Robert Coiiman, Jr.,
of Philadelphia, is entitled to whatever
assurance Of contradiction or embellish-
ment is conferred by priority of publica-
ton. DR. Goldman. who is now visiting
Philadelphia. is private secretary to
Prince Su. Lord High Chamberlain to the
Emperor of China, and was one of the
physicians who attended Ii Hung Chang
during that great viceroy's last illness.
The other was DR.. Eeloe. German,
The night before Ii Hung Chang died,
Goldman and Velde made their usual
evening visit. They had been dining at
their club, and wore dress clotnes The
sick man surveyed their costumes with
a twinkle in his eyes. and remarked:
"Ah! evening dress Have you come TO
dine with me?"
Then he turned in bed, and lapsed into
unconsciousness. from which he never
afterward rallied.
At least. this is the story attributed %
DR.. Collman.-Brooklyn Eagle.

TURKEY IS EVASlVE

CONSTANT1NOPLD, Sunday, August
31-The report circulated in the United

note to United States Minister 1einsham,
saying that it was absolutely refused to
further discuss the responsibility for the
capture by brigands Of Miss Ellen NJ.

companion in September. 1901, as the
outrage wasa not committed on Turkish

fact, the question OF the Portes respon-
sibility is indisputab!e since the capture,
payment of the ransom of liberation OF
the captives all occurred in Turkish ter
ritory.
The correspondence on the subject Of f
measures taken for the discovery and
arrest of the brigands continues and the
insufficientcy of efforts displayed by the
Turkish authorities has been the subject
of complaint by the United States Lesa..
ton The Porte is following his usual
course of trying by every means to evaoe
the demands of the legation for the cap
ture and punishment Of the guilty per.

the captives when released did not fur
