Manchurian province from which he
was promoted to the board of foreign
afafirs.
At present, Tang Shao vi is director
general of railways of the Chinese en-
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 identi-
fled with those whose motto Is China
for the Chinese But those who know
him best assert that this is simply
diplomacy with him. and that he firm
ly believes in progress and accidental
civilization but he realizes that he can
hope to bring it about only by degrees.
That his visit to this country means
more than the mere presentation of a
letter of thanks, is thoroughly under
stood, and it is conceded that no man
in the imperial government is better
fitted, not only to master the intrica
cies of the American financial system,
but to adopt it to the peculiar condi-
tions that exist in the flowery king

Nearly an even dozen of the students

series of high iinks which met the

The frolic INDUCED in by some of
the students started Thursday Just as
they were leaving the assembly room.
As the pupils were marching down the
aisles in decorous order some one
pushed q chair in front of one Of the
lines. That started the mischief. The
first student who came to the chair
and found it in his way so far forgot
himself as TO play leap frog over it.
This was so much easier than walking
around it or removing it altogether,
that seven others Immediately behind
him did the same thing. Some put one
foot on the seat Of the chair and went
over it that way while others took hold
of the hack and went over it as one
does over the leather horse in the gym.
This acrobatic performance was re-
ceived with hilarity by the other pupils.
Late in the day the names Of the eight
acrobats were sent TO the principal and
the young men were sent to COven-

Tang Shao vi, the high commissioner
OF the Chinese empire to the United

miles to thank the United States gov

Boxer indemnity, is one of the most
brilliant and capable men of the Flow

in many ways, having received his
early education at Springfield, Mass.
He arrived there in 1874. when twelve
years old, became a guest of the fam

FOR REVISION
The Infant Industries are
Mostly Full Grown
A TARIFF FOR REVENUE
He Believes Should Be so
Adjusted That 1t Should
Be Paid by the Rich Who
Can Afford Luxuries and
Not by the Workers.

New York, NOV. ga notable art
icle by Andrew Carnegie, dealing with
the tariff, will appear in the forthcom-
ing December number of the Century
Magazine. The ironmaster takes the
position that Infant industries" no
longer need protection, that the duties
on luXuries used by the rich should be
maintained, but that those on manu-
factured articles should be reduced
greatly or abolished entirely when no
longer needed. He says that the rev.
enues received from tariffs come
mostly from the luxuries of the rich.
which is at it should be.
He says of future tariff legislation:
The next congress in dealing with the
tariff probably will be inclined at first
to reduce duties all around, and per-
haps abolish some. but the first care
should be to maintain the present du-
ties, even in some cases to Increase
them, upon all articles used exclusively
by the rich This viii not be for pro-
lection but for revenue, not drawn from
the workers. but from the rich. The
second duty of congress is to reduce
the duties principally upon manufac-
tured articles, and abolish entirely
those no longer needed"
In regard to the steel trade. he says
steel Is produced in this country cheap
er than anywhere else, Notwithstanding
the high wages paid per man. He says
mo steel is produced in the world at
as small an outlay for labor as in our
country 1t may be found that there
exists a small manufacturer of some
special article in steel who still needs
a measure of protection. The writer
hopes, if such there be, the committee
will give patient attention in such
cases"
Mr.. Carnegie further says:
we have already become by far the
greatest of all manufacturing nations.
our Infant industries" of the past
have reached maturity. and, speaking
generally, are now quite able to pro-
