CHINA TO ASK AID
wU TING FANG BEARs MESSAGE TO
 ROOSEVELT.
To Use His Friendly OfEices ip Behalf of Chfma's Preseryation of Her Interest In Aap-
 churin.

San Francisco. Feb. 2s.--From advices received from the Orient. 1t is under stood that wu Ting Fang. the newly appointed Chinese Minister at Wash ington, who will arrive :n san Francis co today on the new steamship Siberia, is the bearer of an appeal from his Government to President Roosevelt to nse his friendly offices of the United States in beh aif of the preservation of China's interests sn Manchuria.
 It has been & matter of gossip in diplomatic circles for some time that the Government at Washington is con- tenpiating the sending of a formal note 10 the powers containing a protest to Japan against Japanese gfandlze- ment sn Manchuria, but 1t is now known for the first time that 1t is the inten- tion of China to ask this countryss aid in the protection of hef interests.
 There already has been some dissat- isfaction between the representative of Japan and tn he Washington Government, relative to Japan's Manchurian policy and the way has been paved to a full and amicable understanding. President Roosevelt's initiative in the matter Is consonant. with the previously declared policy of this country relative to the open-door in Manchurfa. and # is upon this former declaration that the appeal of China which Wu Ting Fang carries is based.
 In wu's oficial party will be Ho Wing Shew, the newly-appointed Con- sul-General to San Francisco. Wu Shu Chinn, Secretary to the Chinese Lega- ton: Li Taing Che, Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Legation at the City of Mexico; u Yung Yew. Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Legation at Havana, and Lai Hee. Charge d'Affaires at the Lega- tion at Lima. Peru.

 A special from Wewahitchka says:
 "The finding of the body of Henry Linton. farmer living four miles from here. in the Chipola Lake, was the tragic explanation of his disappearance two weeks ago.
 Linton disappeared from his home, and although every effort was made to locate him. the search proved futile. Recently persons walking along the shore of the lake noticed the head of a man sticking out of the water. In- vestigation showed it to be the body of the lost man. His arms were out stretched, and in his hands were tufts of grass, evidently the result of des- perate struggle on. his part to pull him. self on the sliore and save himself from drowning.
 It is not known how Linton was drowned, whether he went out In a boat or whether he stumbled and fell into the lake.
