C0NGER NOT TO GO TO CHINA
Iowa Man Declines 20 say whether
He VIII Return to Mexico
or Not.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Edwin II. Con-
ger American ambassador to Mexico, Is
in Washington on his way to his home in
Iowa, from his recent visit to President
Roosevelt at oyster Bay. In an interview
with the Post tonight he said that he was
not going to China, as had been reported,
that he might do something to allay the
agitation there against American imports.
He declined to say positively whether he
would return to his post at Mexico city
after the expiration of his two months
leave Of absence saying that It would
be time enough to discuss the matter when
the leave expired.
Speaking Of the Chinese, the ambassador
said that when people talk about their buy
ing extensively Of American goods when
the orient is opened after the Russian
japanese war, II must be remembered that
people cannot buy unless they have money
to buy with A coolie makes Sc per month
In Mexican money and cannot be expected
to support his family and invest heavily in
articles of American manufacture at the
same time, Probably the best investment
at the present time the ambassador said,
is in railroads In the building of them
much labor would he employed and money
might be obtained by the natives in that
way
The idea of Japan exerting a great in
fluence on China after the close of the
war with Russia, Mr.. Conger declared is a
big bugaboo. the outgrowth of another
big bugaboo, the yellow peril" There is
no yellow peril" he said, America has
no more to fear from Japan than from
any other competing nation.

think we were going very fast However,
We may have been and I guess we will
have to pay our fine like anybody else"

FRENzIED FINANCE IN BRITAIN
'sWhIte Book" Issued on Subject of
Corporations Tells an Inter-
estInE story.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-(special Cablegram TO
The Bee.)-A white paper Just issued by
order OF the House of Commons might have
been headed THE Romance OF the Company
Promoter" so extraordinary are the figures
given. II is shown that during the last
forty odd years 81 ,sl7 companies have been
registered. with a total nominal share cap
ital of over $50 800, 100000. OF these only 39.-
GIG remain in existence today. with a paid
up capital of about $4,000, 10000
What has become OF the 5000 companies
whose names have disappeared from the
Somerset house register the return does not
show. One little note the return does give
serves 10 throw some light on the subject
however. In 1863 a company was registered
at nominal capital of $500 100000, but its
paid-up capital appears to have never ex-
ceeded 1900, The passing of golden dreams
such as a company with record like this
represents is possibly responsible for some
at least OF the $50 500 600, 900 worth OF capital
which appears to have disappeared from
the Official record.
Another point of interest shown in the
return is that last year the total company
promotions in the United Kingdom num-
bcred only 1881, with a nominal capital Of
less than S5OO,OO0,O 900. This is the lowest
capitalization fioated In one year since 1879.
The reason for this is believed to lie in the
general stagation Of trade which prevailed
throughout last year.

Prince Rospigliosi went through a form
OF marriage. 1t was this form of marriage
they attempted to have validated in Rome
on the plea that the proper dispensation in
disparitate cultus had not been granted in
the first instance. The cardinal was con-
suited by the propaganda and a special
messenger, Mgr Marchetti, came to Balti-
