WI TING FANG on CHINA.

The Chinese Minister, WI Ting Fang.
delivered an address at the graduating
exercises OF the University of Illinois.
He spoke of the characteristics of his
people and gave some information re-
lating to the conditions under which
they live. He said, for instance. that
the Chinese are n very democratic peo-
pie. Practically speaking, he said, they
have no aristocracy of blood or birth,
but only that of genius and education.
Every Chinese, however humble his ORR
gin may be. can by dint Of study and
ability, raise himself to the highest post
of honor and trust within the gift Of the
Emperor. Honesty and integrity are
virtues occupying important places in
the moral code of the Chinese, ana es-
pecially with the merchants, their word
is as good as their bond. In typical
Chinese life. you will find, he said a
simplicity and happiness very much
similar to the rural life OF this country.
The Chinese are intensely domestic and
it is asserted that wherever they go and
whatever country they settle in. they
are found to make good husbands.
Then the minister took occasion to
say that this country should be on the
alert for Chinese markets. He argued:
That the Chinese empire win soon
constitute one of the biggest buyers i'm

imports are increasing by leaps and
bounds and the ultimate magnitude of
our foreign trade can best be appreci-
ated when ] say that at present 1t is

when our natural resources in the shane

on large scale. when with the compile

with the dissemination of modern
knowledge and creation of modern

The so-called american contingent

courage enough to pass the bond Issue

There was a ioEg conference IN the

We are told that 5000 900 are needed
immediately for improvements.
Among these improvements" is $4,000
for Che construction of main sewer

of $4,000. The sum of SCI 900 is called
for TO construct AN aqueduct from,

the City cannot afford TO build from

Then, 100000 is asked for. for the pur-

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

There is perhaps. no safer index to
the financial status OF the country than
the immigration statistics When times
are prosperous here, immigrants come
in vast numbers. When times are
hard. many leave for their old homes.
During the month Of May. this year
only 1900 immigrants landed in this
country 5000 aliens departed. For
the same month last year the arrivals
We're $4,000 and the departures
$4,000.
Since last October, when the panic
took effect $4,000 aliens have left these
shores and only about 10000 have ar
rived.
