Chinese Minister Bids Farewell
to Friends in This Country
and Starts for Home.

Washington, July 3.-'I have been
through a great many trying experiences
in my life, but the saddest of all. think.
is leaving the United States and the many
true friends I have made here"
These were the words of Sir Chentung
LANG Cheng, the Chinese minister, as he
sat in the library Of the legation today
chatting with a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press just prior to his departure
for the railroad station, from which he
left the city for San Francisco. at which
place he will sail on the steamship Korea
July 8 for home.
II am deeply sensible of the courtesy
and kindness which have been shown me
throughout my career here by the Ameri-

Minister LANG talked interestingly of
conditions as they now exist in his coun-
try and noted with evident enthusiasm the

that province which took the lead in all

GERMAN PAPERS
SEEING THINGS
Dispatch of American WarshipS
to the Pacific Would Result
in Attack by Japan.

Berlin, July 3-The reports and denials
regarding American naval movements are
printed ConspicUOusly and commented Oh
by, the newspapers here as indicating the
tensity of the relations between the Unit
ed States and Japan Such a demonstra-
ton as the dispatch Of the American fleet
or the greater part of it to the Pacific
would, according to some of the German
critics, result in Japan attacking any
American vessels caught in the Pacific,
without waiting for the concentration of
the American warships.
The Japanese officers who recently Wis
tied Germany with Admiral Yamamoto
and those attached to The Hague delega-
ton to the peace conference. who spent
some weeks in Germany, placed no orders
with the German ammunition or small
arms factories. They were on the look
out for new machine guns, but did not
find any so far as can be learned. They
placed an order for some 12-inch naval
guns with the Krupps, but the number
ordered is not disclosed. These guns take
nine months to build and would have
been ordered in England had not all the
works there been fully occupied with or
ders to supply the British and japanese
war vessels now building in English
yards. About 40 large guns are being con-
centrated at English gunworks for the
fitting out of battleships of the Dread
naught type. each requiring ten instead
of four 12-inch guns. The japanese gov
eminent il is reported, does not care to
spend much money in Germany, but in
from the ITupps, as they are the only
other works in Europe of a sufficient
capacity to guarantee moderately prompt
delivery

ing the courts that there is not rea-
SOnable profit in passenger rates of
cents per mile. the Western railroads to-
day agreed not to make a lower rate on

William Nelson Cromwell to the AssOci-

tails. but ] am happy to say that a re-
