The re- turned visitors declare that chief among the results of the trip will be a closer utilization of the banking in- terests of the south with those of Chi cago.

London, November 2S.-Few of the Lon don morning newspapers comment on the alleged Emperor William interview. Some of them decline to publish extracts in any shape and severely deprecate their publication in the United States as being extremely doubtful taste. The Daily itorials, take the line that the Emperor, if he gave expression to the alleged sen timents. can only Have done so in a mo- ment of super-excitement, and that hav- ing since made the amende the publica- tion can have no effect upon the good re-

SHAH OF PERSIA WILL
 REFUSE CONSTITUTION

termine that in the future, under no pre- text, shall such a parliament be estab- lshed.
 Nevertheless. in the interests of right, we have given the necessary instructions for the maintenance of justice. We here by summon the ecclesiastical body to communicate to the whole people this. our resolve, to protect the rights of our sub jects and frustrate the wicked designs of evil-doers in accordance with the religious law
 The maintenance of justice.' to which the Shah refers, apparently has to do with long standing scheme to codlfy the laws. The British and Russian minis ters, who have been engaged in an at tempt to influence the Shah to restore the constitution are now expected to bring stronger pressure to bear in this direction. The financial crisis, together w.th the long unpaid arrears in the salaries of the government officials and the army, also are likely to aid the constitutional agita- ton.

Teheran, November 22--The Shah of Per sia has definitely decided that he shall not have a constitution, and his procla- nation to that effect will be posted in the mosques tomorrow. It has been evil dent for some time past that the Shah was becoming less and less disposed to summoning parliament. and only recently. during an audience which he gave to the representatives of the merchants, he showed signs of anger at the mention of the restoration of the constitution and dis missed the delegates from his presence. In his proclamation the Shah says:
 We were prepared to redeem our prom ise and convoke a parliament, but we learn from the assembled representatives Of the people that they do not want a constitution. We have, therefore decided to defer to theh wishes. and the clergy and ecclesiastics having recognized that the establishment of parliament would conflict with the laws of Islam, we de-

LEE AND GRANT ARE TO
 BE JOINTLY REMEMBERED

In discnssing the matter Governor Glenn Of Nneth Carolina said:
 ''The time has come when all sectional animosties and bitterness should be for gotten and forgiven. The south can but remember with gratitude General Grant s generosity and kindness to our great chieftain, General Lee, at the surrender at AppomattoX. It will, therefore, be very fitting for these two great men, one of the north and one ,of the south, to be remembered in marble on one of the greatest battledelds, on which each fought against the other. And, in my judgment, q monument to both in this spirit of fra ternal love would do a great deal to cause them to be remembered not ohly as great leaders of different sections, but jointly as heroes Of a reunited country"

Sketch of Envoy.
 Tang Shao Vi, the high commissioner of the Chinese empire to the United States who came so many thousand miles to thank the United States gov ernment for remittlng part of the Boxer indemnity, is one of the most brilliant and capable men of the Flowery King dom. In fact, he is American in many ways, having received his early educa- tion at Springfield, Mass. He arrived here in 1874 when 12 years old. became a guest of the family of E. c. Gardner but later moved to Hartford, Conn, where he attended the high school pre- paratory to his entrance into Columbia university at New York. He was attend ing that university when he was recalled to China in 1881.
 Tang 'Shao VI Is not only the bearer of letters and rare presents to President Roosevelt and other officials of the Amer ican government as token of China s esteem and gratitude but he is com missioned to observe and absorb all he can concerning the financial and com mercial systems of the United States, so that upon his return his country may profit by what he has learned.
 Manager of Railways.
 After his education in this country, Tang Shao Vi was made manager of the Imperial Railways in North China and later became ambassador 10 Thibet, where he adjusted successfully Il difference be- tween England and China over the per petual Thibetan question. Later he was made minister to England and then be- came mandarin of Manchuran prov ince, from which he was promoted to the board of foreign affairs.
 At present, Tang Shao Vi Is director general of railways of the Chinese eIn- pire high commissioner of customs and a member of the grand council which governs the nation.
 While Tang Shao Vi for a time was an ardent progressive he Is now identified with those whose motto is China for the Chinese" But those who know him best assert that this is simply diplomacy with him, that he firmly believes in prog ress and coincidental civilization, but he realizes that he can nope to bring it about only by degrees.
 That his visit to this country means more than the mere presentation of a letter of thanks from the Emperor is thoroughly understood and it is con eeded that no man in the imperial gov ernment is better fitted not only to mas ter the iptricacies of the American finan- cial system, but to adapt it to the pecu- liar conditions that exist in the Flowery Kingdom.
