mats Assigned to Various stations,

nese minister to the United States,

Minister Cheng is accompanied by
his daughter and two sons. In his
suite are So secretaries. diplomats
and legation attaches, as well as nine
servants. His private secretary is
Yeng Kwai, who acted in a like ca
pacity on the stan Of ex-Minister WI

he will take charge Of the consulate,
succeeding Chow Tsee Chi. who will
come to San Francisco as consul. Kit
Shat will become consul at New York
Minister Cheng Tung Liang Cheng,
in an interview, said:
Il can have no better example than
that of Minister WI. He tried to edu-
cate the American people out of their
prejudice against my countrymen as
a race. OF course J realize that the
Americans win never permit the un-
restricted coming Of Chinese labor
ers. Nobody desires that. I do not
think 1t would be wise II they did.
But the American government and
American statesmen have shown the
most friendly spirit toward China in
the troubleus times Of the last three
years, and hope much from that.
will maintain friendly relations and
will try to do what ! can along the
lines marked out by Minister WI to
secure an amelioration OF existing
laws. I know what unrestricted i'm
migration would mean, and l realize
how much this Is an issue with the
American people and with American
politicians. will do what can, but
don't expect to do too much. It Is
question Of hoping"
Asked concerning the renewal Of
the Boxer troubles, reported espe.
cially from Canton, Sir LANG said:
1.-THE Canton trouble was not at al,
serious. was there at the time Of
its occurrence. Canton Is my home.
There were a few arrests and that
ended it. Really 1t was a disturb
ance, and very slight one. fomented
by a mob without leadership and
without organization. There was
nothing else to II. But It might have
been serious II there had been leaders
mo, it was not the worst Of the
followers OF Kang Yu We Wei. II is
most unjust to him to say that. It
was another faction altogether that
caused the trouble. But think there
will not be a renewal Of the Boxer
troubles. China is at peace with the
world and will remain at peace. Tho
newspapers are printing stories Of re-
newed outbreaks, but / think they are
only taking advantage of the public
ignorance concerning China to amuse
their readers"
