have resulted in the discovery and iden-
tihcation of the germ, which, after con-
veyance by the stegomya mosquito,
causes yellow fever in all persons into
whose blood it enters. In nearly a dozen
cases yellow fever was diagnosed on
the appearance OF the germ in the pa

other signs OF yellow fever.

this was begun the diagnosis has later
been followed by symptoms OF yellow

examined showed no symptoms whatever

the miscroscope diagnosis revealed the

days developed albumen and a jaund6ed

Nearly Six Years at Washington

WI Ting-fang was relieved of his
functions as Chinese Minister 10 the
United States in 1902 and left for home
In November of that year. While I'm this
country he acquired a reputation g,
asking question and avoiding answering
them. He made speeches al public func-
tionS, was occasionally seen in Au.$rlcal
dress and made himself a cousDicuNos
figure at Washington. He seemed 20 be
advanced in his views, and though not q
Christian, accepted many of the Chris
tian teachings. In April OF the present
year there were promulgated various re-
forms at PekIng III 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 Sepained at Washing
ton nealy six years. His recall was said
to be prompted by 4 desire at Pe<ing to
entrust him with the revision OF China's
commercial treaties TO suit them 10
present-day conditions. He came to
Washington in April, 1907. and made
many~friends while he was i'm this couN
try, being in great request as a speaker
during the latter part Of his :erFa7 %
office. When he left, much regret w 4
expressed at his departure, as he Ia
proved himself brilliant man of broad
education, catholic tastes and wide kuowl-
edge. He probably knows more about
the United States than any other China
man living. and he certainly contributed
in 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
post in the Chinese Foreign Office
1t was reported that he was to be sent
on a 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 Peking 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 Wu Ting-fang way

The Real Friend
Of the Negro.

The efforts of saloon advocates in
this city to make it appear the News
is an enemy of the negro isn't work
ing quite as well as was hoped.
The News recognizes that there is
q difference in negroes. They don't
all look alike to us.
The editor of this paper would be
the last to say an unkind word con-
cerning the honest negro who leads
a clean life himself and who is doing
his best to elevate his race. We may
not agree with him on politics, but
we do agree on all the essentials
of good citizenship.
But the lazy, shiftless, dissolute
negro, the one who constitutes the
main support of Palatka's saloons;
who lines up with the whisky cause
for the whisky he gets for his vote;
who never pays his poll taxes; who
is devoid of all ambition to improve
his condition, he is the negro that
the News treats as an enemy to or
ganized social conditions. He is the
backbone of this movement to per-
,petuate the saloon evil in Palatka.
Several of the former have called
at the News office this week and
thanked the editor for the editorial
which appeared in the News last Fri
day.
A score of the latter class were
punched behind a downtown store
last Saturday night, organized by
white men for the purpose of de-
nouncing this editor. The white
m en- read the editorial to them and
made comments, then-bought their
negro friends drink.
The real friend of the negro in
these days is the man who tells him
the truth in unequivocal language
who gives him straight goods.
His real enemy is the man or set
of men who for selfish ends con-
tributes to his debauchment.
