Der of his cabinet are away from -.e
city, yet everything runs on smoothly.
and the important matters which are
coming up for consideration
and adjudication are rapidly disposed OF.
The flutter of excitement over what is
now called the Shanghai incident" has
passed away from the navy department.
and Admiral Dewey will be permitted to
finish his vacation at Saratoga. Since
both the United States torpedo boat de-
stroyer Chauncey and the Japanese war
ship have quietly slipped out Of the
Chinese port, with no blood shed. the in
cident is considered closed. 1t was an
incident which was never open, for no
American interests were put in jeopardy
and the United States boat simply went
into the harbor. as aforetime, to land
decks were cleared for action was a bit

Shanghai correspondent The officials at
the navy department. since hearing from
the president, say that the American
squadron in Chinese waters II not
charged with the protection of Chinese
neutrality The orders sent from this
city have been to keep hands Off, and
not involve the United States. even col

This action on the part of Mr.. Roosevelt.
who is accused of carrying big sick"

sonal campaign on che theory mat the
president Is an unsafe man.
Taking advantage of the joyful mood
the czar of Russia is supposed to be in
by reason of the birth of son and heir.
the state department has asked our min
lister at ST. Petersburg to request the
Russian government to be a little more
liberal in its treatment of Russian Jews
who have become naturalized American
citizens, especially when they return to
Russia for pleasure or business. 1t Is
considered SO remarkable that any Jew
who has escaped from Russia to this
country and become naturalized should
wish to return that the state department
will issue a circular letter pointing out
the dangers and risks in such course
But If there are any Jews who insist
upon returning to Russia the American
government intends to have such pass
ports as it issues to them fully recog-
nized. In this connection 1t Is noted
that Secretary nay Is emphatic in his
assertion that American Jews are not
Disseminated against by Russia. nor are
they at any more disadvantage in that
country than are Jews in any other
country. This is good news. and II true
Russia can have no valid excuse for de-
nying the American request.
The Chinese minister to this country
has just returned to this city from
pleasant and gratifying visit to Mexico.
where he met President Diaz. whom he
considers to be a wise. broad-minded.
liberal man, who is doing much for the
progress and prosperity of Mexico. Tho

Chinese are among the best people who
are coming to Mexico, and we heartily
welcome them Their industry. frugality
and ability are valuable in building up
the country" The minister says his
countrymen are inclined to become Mex

adoption of Mexican dress and habits.
He thinks the Chinese In the United
States are restricted to narrow limits for
a livelihood. and meet the powerful OPP
position of the labor unions whenever
they try to branch out. In Mexico every
avenue is open to them. They receive
higher wages than the poems as agrt-
cultural laborers. and are everywhere
recognized as more valuable workers
He urged them TO remain In Mexico ana
not to attempt to come TO the United
States, where they are unwelcome. The
crops in Mexico are such as the Chinese
know how to handle. and China is likely
I'm the near future to be large pur-
chaser of Mexican rice, sugar and cot
ton. These are now grown In large
quantities and will come In competition
with American products OF the same
class. SO the end of the Chinese aues-
tion is not yet.
