AMERICAN AID TO CHINA.
Sir LANG Thinks 1t Has Removed All Cause
for Irritation.

Washington. May 4.-Sir Cbentung Lang
Cheng. the Chinese Minister. commenting to-
day on the effect of the assistance which has
been given TO famine sufferers in certain Chinese
provinces. said that while he rejoiced that the
necessity for further aid had passed. he be-
lieved the generosity exhibited by this country
would be amply repaid by the elimination OF
any further irritation between the two coun-
tries. The reported hostility toward America
and things American, the minister said, was
entertained only by certain fault-finding class
in China. This sentiment. he said, has never
been entertained by the Chinese government or
the better class OF Chinese citizens In China
the primitive condition of the public press, he
added. has tended to give Importance to the
hostile sentiment, and he believes the reaction
based on American generosity in relieving hun
ger will tend to teach Chinese newspaper read
ers the difference between authentic news and
unfounded reports
