WI 1ING-fANe'S MISSION
TO FIND OUT PRESIDENTS
VIEW AS TO CHINA's STATUS.
Alarm in Peking Because of Lack of
Heir to Throne-Constant
Dread of Japan.

The mission Of WI Tins-fang. the new
Chinese minister who is due to arrive in
Washington in about four weeks. after
six years absence. is extremely interesting
to local diplomatists who believe that he
will have some important matters to bring
to the attention Of President Roosevelt.
1t was intimated today that because the
United States constituted itself the guar
antor of Chinese integrity by authorizing
the late John Hay to send out his joint
note Of 1901, President Roesevelt's views
must be learned at once relative to the
present status Of China.
Because of his knowledge of affairs
Chinese at the time of the Boxer troubles
when China was made the butt end of the
deepest criticism and scathirg persecu-
ton Minister WI was according to a
diplomat. delegated by his government
to return to his post to CLEAN new facts.
Behind this however, it appears. there Is
an evident desire to run down. in the
interests of China, the rumors which con-
Germ Japan and the United States.
Alarm in Picking.
Lack of news from China has given AL
impression that everything is well there
but diplomatic correspondence shows that
the court of Picking is in the midst o,
alarm because there is no heir to the
throne. TIE Hsi An, the dOwager en-
press. may die at any moment. and it is
believed everywhere that she Is planning
some special surprise for Europe. This
she will do in retaliation of her thwarted
projects in the past. foremost among them
being the unsuccessful attempt on her
part, as has been alleged to have kwang
Hsu. the emperor. murdered some ten
years ago, and from which fate he was
nv f,o lrif OH, min Of "a
Picking.
China. above all. is in constant dread of
Japan. and for this reason has endeavored
to became as closely identified with Ger
the only nation that has antagonlzed and
is antagonizing Japan, Russia not eX-
cepted.
Kwang Hsu May Die.
kwang Hsu may be deposed at any
moment. and an heir be selected to sue
coed him. Chinese custom sanctions this.
and 1t is likely that TIE Hsi An will
avail herself of the opportunity, although
an English diplomat. who recently re-
turned from Picking. quoted her as say
ing that she hoped autocracy would die
with her. In fact. she has had a tendency
to break the spirit of absolutism which
has reigned during the present dynasty.
and her several edicts limiting at modern
ism are good indication o. this reform
movement.
If Minister WI succeeds in gaining the
Presidents interest in the question, which,
Is not likely. because of the extreme deli
cacy of the situation. possibly embroiling
the powers. he will make an effort to
cast suspicion toward the Japanese adj
vance-regarded by the Chinese as the
Organization of Asia.
But China, withal. is not the only
country that has taken the same point
of view. Russia dreamed it and went Ia
war for it; Germany is fearing it now
that Russia is vanquished, and is building
a large navy.

furthermore stated that when a change
comes, it will be United States of Amer
lea embracing both continents, and a
United States of Europe. Asia. he said,
will never change.
These are the days of system, and con-
centration is the goal: politics must sue
