CHINESE RELATIONS

Personnel of the Commission Conduct
ing the Extension of Trade With
the United States.

On account Of the important and far
reaching effects of the negotiations now In
progress in Shanghai touching the CONNER

tries OF the world, there is naturally great
interest in the personality of the gentle
men who are conducting the negotiations.
The treaty commission considering the eX-
tension of trade relations between the
United States and China is composed of
three representatives of each country. The
American commissioners are Mr. Conger,
the United States minister to China; Mr..

nese commissioners Taotai. Sheng.

Plans for the immediate construction OF

is Spanish, and vitrified buff brick will be
used The Roof is to be of dark hued thing.
The plot of ground which the new hotel is
to occupy measures 1O0X4JO feet. and the
building will have two tages-eastward
toward the ocean and westward overlook

some subtle crookedness Is liable to be
sprung on the unprotected banker. in par
ticular when he Is young and inexperienced
or foreigner. Think of the temptation Of
it! The banker is one. When he loses all
the other players win. Fifty members are
delighted. while only one mourns. Natural
ly they will swear that all was quite cor
rect.
To Beat the Bank.
We even know how the thing is done
Studous experts have discovered combina-
tiOns of the baccarat pack that will make
the banker lose throughout his whole deal.
New packs, thus arranged, can even be
bought if you know where to ask for them.
True, the croupier must shuttle them. but
that need not disturb the great mass. Even
when two or three club members give the
pack some extra shutfiing, how do you
know that they are not in the combination?
The bankers one protection in such case
is when he cuts the cards himself. He may,
by accident, cut them just where the series
Will run in his favor.
Then note what happens. Suddenly the
players Will grow superstitious. find they
have engagements to see a man. or have
rheumatism in the back. OF course all of
them are not of the combination but a
subtle sympathy seems to inform the old
stagers that it will be a bad deal.
On the other hand. suppose the innocent
American or other banker cuts the cards

How is it that our Americans continue
playing against such a game? The answer
is found in that one word-confidence. They
have won sometimes. The combination"
Is not always operating. Often. from the
very nature of things. the cut or the shut
file will disturb the arranged order of the
cards. And. note. the mass of habitual
players-the Parisans-are not of the "coin-
bination." Though good guessers. often
times they make mistakes. And the pas
sion of play leads everyone on. Then, for
night. the tenderfoot banker may make
a good winning. Again. he may play in
the crowd and win against some other
