Mr.. Lao is highly educated Chinese gen.

English bar.
Mr.. Lao informed Consul Gracey that he
had had several discussions with the vice.
roy regarding the ultimate fate of Manchu-

China on the termination of the present

ability Of placing Manchuria in the position
of an experimental ground. He recognizes
the effort toward reform which Is being SO

has suggested and discussed with the vice.
roy the use Of Manchuria testing
ground for these reforms, such as opening
the country to foreign commerce, granting

TURKEY Is STUBBORN.
Disposed to Maintain It's Position Re-
garding Naturalized Armenian.

Minister Leishmans reports to the State
Department indicate that the Turkish gov
ernment is disposed to maintain strongly it's
position that the naturalized Armenian who
has been sentenced to death for murder at
Stamboul shall be treated as Turkish SUBJ
tect and cannot be allowed the privileges of
an American citizen. The minister Is con-
tinuing his efforts in behalf Of Vartanian.
The Turkish government has SO far not
formally proposed the settlement. Of this
issue by arbitration, and it appears that Mr..
Leishman would be obliged to decline any
such proposal. The American law as to
citizenship Is different from that of any of
the European countries, which almost uni
,formly require that their assent shall be Sc
cured to the naturalization abroad of their
subjects, SO that It would probably be Inn
possible to secure an arbitral court that
would not be obliged to hold that interna-
tional law was not adverse to the American
position.

COST OF WORK ALLEGED TO BE
TOO GREAT.
Recently Appointed Official Files Bond
Permanent Appointment Ex-
pected at an Early Day.

The publication Of the Keep commission
report and the comments on that report by
the President were the only developments
today in the affairs of the governm ent print
ing office. The conclusions of the report
were not surprise to those who have fol-
lowed the events at the office during the
last month. Although the testimony was
surrounded with great deal of secrecy by
the commission, all of the important state
ments of witnesses leaked out and were
published.
There was no development in the purpose
of the President to make Mr. Ricketts, per-
mament public printer, but the belief was
general that he would adopt that course.
At the government printing office today
there greater floral display than on
Saturday. The fifty watchmen of the big

of the civil war, took occasion to send TO
the acting public printer floral horseshoe,
five feet high containing 600 roses. This

e.Is of the force was accompanied by
