Building Plans Designed.

In each case options have been OBJ
tanned on suitable sites and plans have
been designed for suitable buildings. so
that the cost is reported with exactness:
and Congress is not asked to appropriate
money out of the Treasury but to author
iZe the President to apply the amounts
nSrned from the funds that have been
lr6ady paid by China to cover the Boxer
damages. Therefore these buildings will
not cost the people OF the United States
4 copper. and they will enable their rep
resertatives in China to live in a manner
that will command the respect of the peO-
pie of that empire. who cannot be blamed
if they think 1t very queer that the rep
resenta tives OF a great government like
the United States live in such an humble
manner compared with their colleagues
from Japan. Great Britain. Germany
Russia. France. Italy. Belgium, the Meth
erlands and other countries.
In nearly every commercial city OF
china the governments l have named have
comfortable. commOdious and convenient
onsuls and the employees of the con-
Sulates. In some of the cities the con-
sulates general and their STATS occupy
imposing structures, while the representa-
lives of the United States live and keep
heir offices in small humble and cheap
quarters on the back streets. You never
rave to ask your way to the British con-
-ulate or the German consulate in Chi
iese city. because they are usually the
most conspicuous buildings, but If YOU
