WI TING FANG AS HE Is.

The report Of the appointment OF
Wu Ting Fang as Chinese Minister
to the United States has called out
some very frank comment on his
personality. Perhaps the best pen
picture Of him Is the following from
the Washington Post:
His picturesque and erratic career
In this country is well known to the
American public. He was popular
with the newspaper reporters and
correspondents, for he delighted to
be interviewed and have his views
ventilated in public. But he was a
constant source of anxiety to the
state department. because of his utter
disregard of diplomatic prophecies,
his fippant way Of discussing inter-
national questions, and his violation
Of the rules regulating the inter-
course Of diplomats with other de-
partments Of the government. His
unannounced visit to the capitol to
demonstrate with the senate com
mittee on appropriations attracted
universal attention, brought down
upon him the censure of the press,
and would have caused his dismissal
had any other person than the kind
ly and forbearing John Hay been
Secretary of State.
Although he had been educated
from childhood by the protestant
missionaries and baptised in the Epis-
copal church at Hongkong, when he
came to the United States he did not
hesitate to repudiate his early faith,
pose as Confucianist, and criticise
the missionaries in China.
In resentment for his failure to
secure the repeal of the Chinese
coolie laws by our congress it is
pretty well established that when he
returned to China he designed and
set on foot at Shanghai the boycott
of American goods, which was so
disastrous to our commerce and
which put in peril our good relations
with the Chinese government
Mr. WI is bright and witty his
European education by the mission
aries grated on his Oriental cunning,
makes him an interesting personal
ity; he Is amusing, even though in
discreet, as an after-dinner talker
and great fun for the reporters; but
he Is not such representative of the
the great Chinese empire as Is needed
now more than ever in Washington.
and not such diplomatic character
as would be consonant with the
straightforward and frank inter
course of Secretary Root. The af-
fairs of the Orient are becoming more
and more of the highest Importance
to the United States and China should
send to Washington one of her wisest
and most sedate statesmen, not
tricky politician, not smart wit, not
representative who disregards all
diplomatic conventionalities.

somewhat retarded for time, the
state as whole Is in better shape
to stand a pinch than almost any
other In the union.
After the state Is well rid of the
get-rich- quick element and "A little
more water" has been squeezed ont
of some Of the mining properties, Ne
yada will climb to the summit Of
prosperity
This district, Robinson, has bright
prospects that depression cannot
shake; there is copper enough already
developed in the mines Of the district
to insure permanent output that
but few sections of the United States
can boast of having.
The News can see in the not very
distant future the completion of the
big smelter at McGill; 1t can see
train loads of copper ore being trans
ported from the mines up the canyon
to the reduction works and huge cop
per pigs being turned out. In the
course of the transformation from
the raw ore to copper pigs 1t can see
the copper turning into gold and be-
ing reinvested in the district. It can
see big monthly payrolls In the mines
and at the smelter and the money
thus earned going back into the chan
nels of trade on all lines and a pros
porous community building up on
solid foundation.
This picture has not been over
drawn and Is as sure to be presented
night follows day. 1t may be de-
layed for "A year or two, but when
the people see the section lying be-
tween McGill and Kimberly thickly
populated they will look back on the
fall OF '07 and wonder why they had
any doubt about It. If nothing more
Is done in the way of development
than Is now in evidence for the next
ten years there has been enough rich
ore blocked out already to insure
the camps permanency for decade.

STRING MORE WIRES.
Katy Puts Force to Work This
Morning on Line to Galveston


Quite a little interest was caused
this morning by the appearance of
a number of linemen at the Main
street crossing on the Katy. They are
to string a wire from Denison to Gal
weston for the Katy railroad. The
work is in charge of r. J. Pickard,
who has just completed a line for
the Katy from Fort Worth to Gal
weston, which line is now in service
Mr.. Pickard has 2 men and it is
the intention to string ten miles of
wire per day The distance to Calves
ton from Denison is 473 miles, con-
sequently 1t will require 473 reels
of wire. The wire to be used is No.
s. and weighs $50 pounds to the
mile. so the Job will require 49, S0
pounds of wire, about 16, 900 brack-
cts and insulators and each one will
require a tie wire, and it will be
seen that the men will have to han
die two or three carloads of mater
ial as well as climb every pole on the
| line, and ten miles per day will evil

Austin, Texas, Aug. 9.-The rev.

bill has commenced to flow into the
state treasury and by the end of the
month there will be over half "a mil
lion to the credit of general revenue.
This positively means that there
will be no deficit in the general rev.

on account of the prospective heavy
expenditures incident to the begin
ming of the fiscal year. All new ap-
prOpriatiOus are available, after
Sept. l, besides payment for the pur-
chases Of supplies for the state elee-
mosynary institutions by the state
purchasing agent The last amounts
to a large sum, as heavy deliveries
are made as soon as possible in or
der that C~tractors can stay on the
safe side of the market on which
their bids were based However,
