famiIiarize himself with American
methods in short order
Minister WI was certaInly the most
interesting parsonage Who ever came
to this country from the Orient He
knew Americans as well as they
knew themselves, and had an answer
ready for every question that was
put to him. Incidentally he could
ask question or two himself.
When callers tried TO interview
him they We're met with counter ques-
ton which had to be answered. and
after going away realized that they
themselves had been interviewed and

asking young persons whether they
were married, and If not, why not
He thought every one should be mar
ried, whether they preferred single
blessedness OF not. After a big dinner
he attended not long ago, where the
cup that cheers" was passed his way
with significant frequence. he said, as
he was coming away. They tried TO
saturate me, didn't they?"
Minister WI was as accommodate
ing as he was brilliant. He would 20
to any part OF the country 10 make an
address, and what he said was Wei
worth hearing. He was a clear. deep
thinker, and his command Of the Eng
lish language was masterfuL He
talked China and the Chinese to
every audience that gathered to hear
him, never for a moment losing sight
Of the welfare Of his country. Never
theless. he also pointed out 10 Amer
leans their faIIacies and idiosyncra-
sizes in such way their force struck
deep and was not soon forgotten.
~Wu Ting-fang admitted to his in
Inmates that he was fond Of American
life and Iuxuries. He used to order
his automobile and go when and
where it pleased him of American
educational institutions he never fin
ished talking In fact, he thought so
much Of the schools and colleges here
that he left his only son in this coun-
try to be educated, that the boy might
return to China with American ideas
and methods.
Much Expected of Sir Lang.
Sir LANG Chen, his successor. is
diplomat who has been tried and not
found wanting. He has Travelled ex-
tensiveIy, is a Hnguist and a Scholar.
He is d younger man than WI Ting
fang, yet is familiar witt interna-
tional diplomacy, having had expert
ence in the local service as well as
abroad, and comes 10 this country
with the determination not only to
foster the friendly 1eeIi-s existing be-
tween the two nations, but also to
increase the trade relations through
channels which have hitherto been
overlooked
With all his interest in costly jewels
and fine silks, he is a business man
through and through. and is one Of
the strongest advocates OF reform in
the Chinese diplomatic service While
at Pekin and Canton recently he
worked with such energy that he has
about succeeded in establishing a sys-
tenn Of schools in China after the
American method.
Like his predecessor, Sir LANG be-
ueves the solution Of the Chinese prob
lem lies in education, and. as far as

GOVERNMENT ECONOMY.
President Roosevelt Decides That
the Publication of Useless Doc
uments Must BE stopped.

President Roosevelt has called a halt
on the practice of government depart
ments of printing bulky reports on all
manner of subjects. In Mr.. Roose-
velt's opinion there is altogether too
much of this sort of thing, and he be-
lieves that large part of the pub
lications is composed of matter of no
particular value to the government or
the people of the United States. By
his direction Secretary Cortelyou has
sent the following letter to the head
of every executive department
"White House, Washington, D. c.
My Dear Sir: I am directed by the
president to say that he desires some
plan devised by which the present ten
dency to increase the number and size
of printed reports and documents of
all sorts may be curbed. He thinks
there is much useless matter and a
large number of unnecessary and eX-
pensive illustrations included in many
of the reports and documents pub
lished; that many are issued at great
expense which accomplish no prac-
tical good, and that there is too much
public printing generally. The presi-
dent will be glad to have you give this
matter careful eration.-George
B. Cortelyou, Secretary to the Presi-
dent"
