Grateful to the United States for the
friendship hat exists between this coun-
try and China. and for the protection this
country has given the Celestial Empire in
a diplomatic way. Chang Vow Tong.
former secretary to the Chinese Imperial
Commission TO the Worlds Fair. has pub
lished a volume of poems that is both a
tribute to American generosity and de-
%scriptive OF the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position.
Mr.. Chang was educated in America and
has a thorough knowledge Of the tech
nical laws of English style. Twenty-three
years ago he returned to his native land
after studying for eight years in New
England. and between that time and his
return to America as secretary to the
Chinese Worlds Fair Commission a year
ago, he Travelled extensively over the
Celestial Empire, studied international
politics in its bearing on the far Eastern
question. and concluded that China owes
8 debt TO America that demands some
tribute worthy of the theme.
After coming to st. Louis and seeing
the development and completion OF the
Fair, Mr.. Chang became more impressed
han ever with the hospitality and gener-
osity of the American people. and finally

proper care of 1t, it is allowed to be taken
away to cottage or mansion. Orphans and

of the Incubator building until they are

He was called back to China. however.
in 1851 by the illness of his father. and
since that time has travelled extensively
over the Empire. He did not return to
America until last summer. when he came
to st. Louis as secretary Of the Chinese
Commission to the Worlds Fair. Inst
May he resigned that position and expects
to return TO China this fall.
Before writing the poems descriptive Of
the Worlds Fair, Mr.. Chang was asked
by a magazine to write his Impressions Of
the Exposition. He decided. however,
that it would be mere fitting to write OF
the Exposition in poetry. and to first pub
fish that poetry in st. Louis. the Exposi-
ton city.
Throughout the volume are pictures OF
Worlds Fair scenes. These pictures were

HITCH IN PROCEEDINGS.
Lengthy Conference Between Am
 bassador Porter and President.

Paris, March Slowing to tue re- ports of hitch in the Panama canal negotiations, Ambassador Porter in- vited President Bo to call at the em. bassy, where they held a lengthy con ference to-day. NJ. Bo maintained that there is not the slightest obstacle to the completion of the transfer of the canal company,s property to the United States. He added that when Messrs Cromwell and Russell arrive here the company's expert, who recent ly returned to Paris from Panama and Is familiar with all the Company $ property there, will be assigned to join them, go over the inventories fully and execute the details of the transfer. M. Bo particularly emphasized the need for concluding the transfer before April p, saying that every formality legal and otherwise, would be effected before lAat date.
 Concerning the suits against the company, M. Bo explained that the one involving Colombia's right to hold shares in the company was wholly a question between Colombia and the company, the United States not being directly or indirectly interested. Relative tn the suit seeking to prevent the company from transferring it's con sessions on the ground that Colombia has not given her assent, NJ. Bo main 6tained that the requirement. of secur- ing Colombia's consent ceased when her sovereignty over the canal route passed from Colombia to Panama. Furthermore, M Bo sad the govern mental and legal authorities were ready to so operate and facilitate the transfer.
 At the foreign office it was stated that no Information had been received there in regard to the reported appeal of the bond-holders of the old canal company to protect their interests, the officials holding that the entire ques, tion is outside of governmental con- trol.
 Government influence is decidedly favorable to winding up the transfer and will not encourage new protests or obstacles.
