WILL MOURN 100 DAYS.
Tribute to the Late Mother of the
Chinese Minister.

The Chinese legation in this city will be In
mourning for 100 days because of the death
In China Of Mrs. LANG, the mother of Sir
Chentung Liang-Cheng. the minister to the
United States. Under Chinese customs the
period during which a son shall mourn his
mother is three years. Under ordinary
circumstances Chinese who are in the dplo-
matte service are compelled to give I'D
their posts when parent dies. and go into
mourning for the prescribed time but in this
case. as stated in yesterdays Star, an i'm
perial decree was issued waving the full
period OF mourning and authorizing Sir
Chentung Liang-Cheng to continue in his
post and resume his duties after 100 days
That action Of the Chinese government Is
regarded as a special compliment to the
minister as 1t indicates that his services
mere are regarded highly and that there is
no disposition on the part of the govern
ment to permit his usefulness in the United
States to be impaired.
Official business will be conducted at the
legation by the minister's assistants during
his period of mourning and work OF the
legation will not be affected in any way. Sir
Chentung Liang -Cheng and the members of
his family probably will not go into society
at any time during the approaching social
season The minister was considering invi-
tations to speak at Amherst, Mass; Phila-
delphia and several other Cities but he will
decline all engagements of that sort.
The death of Mrs. LANG occurred at Can
ton, China. She was seventy years old and
had been in i'll health for many years.

CONTROL OF AQUEDUCT.
Commissioner Macfarland's Views on
the Subject

Following the recommendation of Gen.
Mackenzie. chief of engineers United
States army. that the Washington aque-
duct system be turned over entirely to the
control of the District of Columbia Com
missioner Mcfarland mentions the efforts.
made before the last Congress to secure
the transfer Of the aqueduct. including the
filtration plant, from the War Department
to the District government. The present
system is admitted to be unsatisfactory be-
cause the War Department Is charged with
responsibility for bringing water from Great
rails to the reservoirs and the filtration
plant. and from those points the District
water department assumes control of the
distribution.
There Is every reason why all the ma
chlnery OF the water supply should be under
the control of the municipal authorities"
Mr. mcfarland said 1T will make no diff
ference financially or practically, because
the District now is compelled to pay half
the whole COST and because the system
would still be under control Of army en-
gfneers-the District Engineer Commissioner
and his assistants"
1t has also been pointed out that the trans
fer of the Washington aqueduct will ac-
complish the desired end of securing to
the Commissioners the control of the Com
duit road. so that the municipal lighting
and sewerage systems may be extended
along much needed lines.

DISGUISED BRITON.
United States Branded as Worst
Country in the World.

From London Answers.
In an age which is frankly commercial.
in which the nations of the earth live by
the peaceful arts of commerce. it may be
admitted that the country which is the
most grievous offender against the laws
Of common business honesty may be fair
ly accounted the wickedest And on this
basis one country alone among the civ
ilized peoples of the world stands branded
as the worst. That country is the free
and independent United States of Amer
lea. Russia has long been held up to OBJ
loquy as the master william of humanity.
but Russias offenses, bad-rankly bad-as
they undoubtedly are, are largely political
The people are under the heel of the aris-
tocrat, and the arstocrat, as is the man
ner OF his kind, uses the people for his own
purpose. But political tyranny is not so
degrading as the tyranny of trade, and
they are few among who would not
prefer the life OF Russian mujik to that

In the light Of recent revelations. IT would
seem that scarcely one of the much-vaunt-
ed American concerns Is worthy to be
trusted. Take finance. What finance ia

brain of swell mobsman. The hairless old
money-maniac who has built UP for him
self the biggest fortune the world has ever
known upon a foundation of lies and de-
ceit-for the secret rebates" are nothing
less than these-is figure for honest men
to shudder at.
Who was the man who tried to Corner
the worlds bread. to SO manipulate the
corn markets that people should have to
sue him for the commonest necessity of
life? An American. And did this notable
figure OF American finance ever allow the
prospect of the millions of starving men.
women and children who would not be able
to pay the price he meant to demand for
his corn when he had got it all to inter-
fere with his plans? Not one iota! If
they had to- starve, that would be their
lookout. Business was business.
another OF his tribe grew jealous of the
millions which would have flowed into his
pockets had he succeeded. This could not
be allowed; no one must live who would
not bow the knee to millionaire No 2.
and so the weight of his big bags of gold
meant to starve the world If he could,
and the big bags crushed him, where
upon villain No. 2 was acclaimed the de-
liverer.
And now the deliverer in his turn has
treated the world to the spectacle of the
of consumptive slaves. who scrape filth
from floors and drains and cesspools
and turn 1t into food for people.
