The newly appointed Chinese Minis
ter, Liang Tun Yen, who was expected
in the Legation during this month, will
not come to Washington for six
months. This will be a matter of great
regret, as the Legation was closed to
society last Winter on account of the
mourning of the former Minister for
his mother. The new Minister will
bring Nine. Tun Yen with him and his
several boys. and there will be again
hostess for that picturesque Lega-
tion. The former Minister, Sir Chen
tung LANG -Cheng, was a widower, and
his daughter was rather too young to
act as hostess. The new Minister is a
graduate of Yale and a very cultivated
man. His wife does not speak Eng
lish, but is now trying to master it
sufficiently to be able to converse with
some comfort.
Here is what Mr.. Frank Morgan
Hermann, lawyer and resident of Phil
adelphia, has to say of the political
situation:
Two cities will play larger part
in the next Presidential election than
all the others combined" he declares.
1T is almost unnecessary to name these
two cities.' he added, for every one
who stops to think will knew that i
mean New York and Chicago They
are the big financial centers of the
country, and, of course, will WELD the
largest kind of influence upon the cleo
ton, not only by reason of their vast
money power, but because the way
those cities go the States are likely to
go.
the political situation need not be told
that neither New York nor Chicago is
in sympathy with the Administration,
and if Roosevelt were nominated by the
Republicans l firmly believe that New
York City would give a majority of
100000 against him, while that in Chi
cago would be relatively as large, in
my opinion. Roosevelt would be the
easiest man for the Democrats to de-
feat that the Republicans could name.
While I'll grant that the President
appears to be exceedingly popular with
the people, he is extremely unpopular
with the money interests, and if anyone
doubts that money plays a large part
in politics let him take glance back
at history and see how many elections,
National and otherwise, have been
swung one way or the other by the
power of money. 1t would be only
natural for the men of large interests
to dump great quantities of money into
the campaign for the sole purpose of
defeating Roosevelt. / do not believe
therefore, that the President would
have any chance of getting the nomi-
nation If he desired it, for there are
too many wise heads in the ranks of
the Republicans to make such an er-
ror."
Il is always pleasure to listen to
men who know things. Such a man is

abroad they are more thoro in
treating cases than we are here in this
country. Over there they treat the
cause of the disease, and here we treat
the disease. 1t is altogether a very
superficial way of handling medical
cases that prevails in this country. In
Germany the physicians when diagnos-

ways subject him to a most thoro ex-
