pitched excellent ball after that first in
ming holding the Sox safe right along and
receiving very strong support from his
colleagues. The pitching of White was
ilt-edged. although he was not as steady
as Burns. Cantillons Cherubs could not
hit the doctor with connected vigor and
the Sox went up to the 800 mark as the
result of the days exertions.
Some marvellous fielding added sparklets

Perhaps the most distinguished pas

through here to the Orient yesterday,
was Liang Hsun, Chinese Charge dAf-

past five years. With his family, he is
returning to Canton. His family con-

Liang Hsun is very large in stature
and imposing in appearance. He is a
graduate of Amherst College and
speaks English perfectly. He has
been Charge d'Affaires at the City of
Mexico for the past five years, and
before that was Consul-General at Ma
Mia. AS Charge d'Affaires he has had
charge of the Chinese Legation busi-
ness in Mexico, as the Chinese Minister
to washington is also accredited to
Mexico, Cuba and Peru.

treated fairly by the government and
satisfactorily by the people. There is
no race prejudice against them. The
Chinese and the Indians of Mexico get
along very well together.
mo doubt shall see great changes
in China after my absence of five
years. There is an era of development
in progress. More of our young men
are going abroad and seeing things.
The cutting off of the queue, the adop-
tion of European clothing, and the
lessening practise of foot-binding are
incidents of the change. These are
mere fashions. They have no more sig
nificance than fashions with other
peoples. But because China was so
long isolated from other nations, these
fashions acquired stronger force and
are more tenaciously clung to. But
changes are coming fast.
