Wheeler TO get along as best he may
with the services OF Victor Hender-
son, Moran's predecessor in that Office.
Henderson is now acting secretary of
the Board of Regents and will have
to arrange his time so that he may at
tend to the duties of that Office and
the presidents too.
Who MrMorans successor will be
depends Altogether upon the action OF
the Board of Regents in selecting
permanent secretary. II Henderson Is
confirmed in the Office then some en-
tIrely new man win be selected to
carry out President Wheeler's airec-

the acting secretary, was appointed
land agent for the university at the
last meeting of the Regents This
may mean that the board is getting
ready to appoint Henderson, though
Henderson himself says there is no
significance attaching to the move.
In case one of the other 200 APP

resume his former office of secretary to
the president.

A Great Change Going On.
The Yellow Peril.

Mr.. Foster said in conclusion:
II have never regarded the yellow peril
with serious concern. Japan is too greatly
leavened with the spirit of modern ideas to
make race hatred a controlling motive of
it's foreign policy. If the present move
ment in China continues, the anti-foreign
feeling there must be greatly modified. The
wonderful development of Japan's military
power certainly adds a new factor to the
international problems of the world, but its
policy will be along economic rather than
racial lines.
Happily, the ruling power today in the
far east is Great Britain. Her government
has most heartily supported the efforts of
Secretary Hay to maintain the autonomy. of
China and open door there. "A nation
of shopkeeperS' was the term derisively
applied by Napoleon to the British, and it
has adhered to them for century; but in
that period they have gone on extending
their trade, sometimes by force of arms.
and as opportunity offered, by diplomacy
or enterprise, until today they control
domain grander than ever before held under
the sway of one government While the
motive which brought about this dominion
was mainly mercenary, 1t has resulted in
great good to the human race. He who
journeys around the globe Is impressed with
the mighty power OF British rule, but he
also sees that it's rule Is beneficent; and
such is the general, though not the in
variable, influence of commerce. 1t opens
nations to intercourse, 1t tends to peace,
1t enarges the comforts and aspirations
OF the people.
at Is fortunate that the interests and
the policy of the United States and Great
Britain in the far east so fully harmonic.
Japan has manifested with equal heartiness
its conformity to the same policy There is
no reason why the other commercial ma
tions should not pursue the same line of
conduct. Hence, If internal peace Is pre-
served. the ancient Chinese empire may look
forward to an era OF unprecedented devel-
opment and prosperity, and add many more
cycles to its unparalleled history

spread such runors when the triumph of

Minister Squiers Informally discussed the
matter of sanitation of Cuban cities with
President Palma The latter hopes that
Congress early in the session will make
an appropriation enabling him to take up
the work of sanitation. A special Senate
committee has prepared bill creating a
fund for the sanitation of all the principal
towns
