WI TING HURT BY BOMB
Attempt to Assassinate Chinese DiplO-
mats.
PRINCE TSAITCHE IS ALSO INJURED.
The Man Who Exploded the Bomb Is Blown
to Atoms-The Outrage Occurs 10 Private
Car In Which the Missions Being Sent to
Foreign Countries to Study Political Meth.
DDS Was Leaving Pekln.

Picking (By Cable).-At the Picking
Railway Station, as a train carrying one
of the four missions ordered abroad to
study foreign political methods was leav-
ing, a bomb was exploded inside a pri-
vate car, killing four minor officials and
wounding over 20 other persons.
The wounded include Prince Tsai
Tche, who heads the most important OF
he missions, and WI Ting fang, former
Minister to the United States, both OF
whom received slight injuries The per-
petrator of the outrage, who was in the
car, was blown to pieces.
The affair has created profound SEN
sation and causes apprehension regard
ing the safety of the members of the
court and leading officials of the gov
eminent.
The government Offices and the rail-
ways are now strongly guarded.
The edict appointing the missions men
toned in the foregoing dispatch was is
sued July 16. "A dispatch from Picking
August 2o said that the missions were
appointed to study foreign systems of
government because the Dowager En-
press intended to issue decree at the
New Year for the establishment of a
parliament IL years hence.

Nearly Six Years at Washington.

Wa Ting-fang was relieved of his
functions as Chinese Minister to the
United States in 1902 and left for home
in November of that year. While in this
country he acquired reputation for
asking question and avoiding answering
them. He made speeches at public func-
tions, was occasionally seen in American
dress and made himself a conspicuous
figure at Washington. He seemed to be
advanced in his views, and though not a
Christian, accepted many of the Chris
tian teachings. In April of the present
year there were promulgated various re-
forms at Picking in response to his me-
mortal. Lately he has been somewhat in
the public eye by reason of various ut
terances on the Chinese boycott of
American goods.
WI Ting-fang remained at Washing
ton nealy six years. His recall was said
to be prompted by desire at Picking to
entrust him with the revision of China's
commercial treaties to suit them to
present day conditions He came to
Washington in April, 1897, and made
many friends while he was in this coun-
try, being in great request as speaker
during the latter part of his term of
office When he left, much regret was
expressed at his departure, as he had
proved himself brilliant man of broad
education, catholic tastes and wide knowl-
edge He probably knows more about
the United States than any other China
man living, and he certainly contributed
in a great measure to establish excellent
relations between China and America.
On his return to Peking after leav-
ing the United States he was appointed to
a post in the Chinese Foreign Office.
1t was reported that he was to be sent
on mission to Europe and to the United
States, and that he had been appointed
a commissioner of The Hague tribunal,
but it is evident that the Picking govern
ment has found full employment for his
activities in codifying the European and
American commercial laws for use by
the Imperial government and in under
taking the reform of the Chinese GRIM
inal law. A son of WI Ting-fang was
educated at Atlantic City, graduating at
the High School there with the highest

The Power OF the Press.

The value of newspaper publicity
is both indicated and impugned in
the story below, which comes from
Madame.
The man who approached the edi-
tors desk was visibly excited.
'It's all through your wretched
paper" he spluttered.
whats the matter nowY' asked
the editor, without looking up from
his leader on the Chinese boycott, for
he was used to excited gentlemen.
"Why, you stated the day before
yesterday that a thief had entered
my room, broken open my desk and
stolen a sum of money, but that
fortunately he had overlooked the
gold watch which usually lies in the
lower small drawer
"Well," said the editor, weren't
the facts stated correctly"
"Correctly?" the excited gentleman
repeated, derisively. Eyes. That's
the trouble. The man came again
last night and took my watch, and
he'd never have known where it was
if you hadn't told him.
