These two sons of the Celestial En-

United States and obtain all the in
formation possible on the American
railroad system, with a view to max
ing use of their observations for the
improvement of the railway service IN
their own country Mr.. Woo Shine
speaks English fairly well, having ac-
quired a knowledge of the language In
China. His companion is a silent and
close listener and observer and here
and there intehjected a word or two in
Chinese. Wearing their hair short
they were asked If they were members
of the reform party in China They
replied they were not; that they wore
wigs in order not to attract so much
attention in the United States. The
wigs were ill-fitting and made from
the straight, black, coarse Chinese
hair, parted in the middle, and in con-
nection with their unusually dark
complexion, gave them the appearance
of Indians Fer the same reason the

people say China is an old nation,
that its people are too old to learn"
said Mr.. Woo Chine. That is not so
at all. If we are old, we are waking
up and find ourselves young, full OF
life, enthusiasm and enterprise. If we
were old, we would be useless; but we
are not as you will admit Our great
wealth of mineral resources, of coal,
iron, gold, silver and all sorts of pre-
cious metals and stones, has hardly
been touched. We have not yet be-
gun to build railroads, and our rivers
and canals do not show the activity of
steamboats, as they do in your waters.
We want to learn from America, whose
people we regard as our best friends,
and we want them to teach us and
help us. China is a young country,
like America 1t is a great country like
America, and is imbued with the de-
sire to be Americas best friend With
a strong and powerful China guarding
one side of the Pacific and America the
other, and the two countries good
friends, no country would dare to dis
turb the peace of the world. No
Power as it is even now dares to enter
tain aspiration for the political con-
troll of China"

Assume It Another
Lie Concocted by
William ]. Burns
By Patrick Calhoun

READ the statement in The Call, and
| 1 assume that it is another lie con-
cocted by William ]. Burns. 1 am
quite prepared to believe, from what l
know of Burns, that he would concoct
such a statement One of the evils of
the spy system, whenever and wher-
ever it has existed, has been the manu-
facture of false evidence. To the
credit of America it may be said that
Burns has achieved a unique distinc-
tion in this regard; and to the credit
of America, too, 1t may be said that
for his tools he has been compelled to
go either to convicted or self-confessed
criminals.
I notice in the statement that Stauf
was, at the time of his alleged con-
versation with Claudianes, serving
sentence in Oakland for robbery, and
that he is now in the city prison in
San Francisco on some other criminal
charge.
I know nothing whatever about this
matter except what l saw in the morn
ing Call; but it is well to consider the
foundation upon which this charge is
made. Here we have a convicted and
self confessed criminal who says that
Claudianes said that Gibson said, and
so forth. 1t is a natural outgrowth
Of the spy system that mems characters
should be attacked on the mere hearsay
statements of criminals, made behind
their backs, doubtless at the dictation
and with the astute assistance of per-
haps the most unscrupulous scoundrel
today engaged in the spy business in
America.
