SAW FEW FAULTS
IN AMERICANS

More progressive than any Oriental
who has come to this country with a
diplomatic mission. WI TIng-fang, dur
ing his service as Chinese minister was
also the most popular Of any In the
Diplomatic Cops. and was ranked as
one Of the most brilliant.
Those who at first laughed at what
seemed to be the childlike disingenous-
ness of WI later marveled at the sub
tleness Of this wise man from the East.
He was as much interested In the
country and IT'S institutions as the coun-
try at large was interested in him. He
began asking questions the moment he
arrived and was still asking them when
he departed.
Men were sent to interview him, but
he interviewed them instead. And when
lie departed he was credited with having
more general knowledge Of this country
than anyone living in it.

Before leaving his post in Washington
WI said that the most remarkable thing
he had noticed during his six years stay
il America was the liberality Of its rich
men.

RUM0RS OF SUICIDE

ST. PETERSBURG. July 30.-M. Witte,
president of the Russian council of min
listers. sends a denial today from Vienna
that he would succeed the late N Plehve
as minister OF the interior,
Speaking to the Berlin correspondent
of the "Neu Freie Presse" NJ. Witte
said:
II am president Of the committee of
ministers. My ministerial career is thus
closed"

dant's attention was drawn aside for a
moment Lego tore of the apparatus
which had been placed on his abdomen

quently, but his demeanor otherwise
was not remarkable.
It is stated that among the numerous
arrests made by the police In connec-
ton with the De PIehve assassination
one made shortly after the tragedy Is
supposed to be that of a direct accom-
plice Of the assassin.
He is a young man who refuses to give
his name. He stood beside the Obvodny
Canal. 1t is alleged, and was prepared
10 make a second attempt on the life
Of the minister of the interior If the
first one failed.
Throws Bomb in Canal.
After the explosion he threw some
thing heavy into the canal. A boatman
reported this act. and the young man
was arrested. The missile was fished
up and proved 70 be a bomb.
The story that NJ. de Plehve was aware
that there was a finite plot against his
life apart from the general menace
which hangs over Russian minister is
confirmed from several sources.
The police had been searching st. Pet

plot Numbers of private houses were
ransacked on the merest suspicion, most
Of the sufferers being harmless citizens
II IS doubtful II any Of those arrested
were implicated in the plot.

The Commissioners explained 10 the
