sort of AFFAIR in the statement ne
pave 10 the Associated Press Tuesday
night. Possibly Mr.. Crane took what
the President said about giving II 10
them red hot" TOO literally and talked
more than such a man as the minister
10 China shouid. This. however, mas
no bearing upon the very remarkable
treatment the minister designate &C.
clares he received at the hands Of
the department OF state.
II is hard to believe that Mr.. Crane
could have been allowed TO start for
his important post without CONFER
ence with the secretary of state;
that even the first assistant seere-
tary failed 10 FIJI every engagement ne
had with the new diplomat and that
Mr.. Cranes papers and final in3true-
lions did not reach him at San Fran
cisco until after he had been recalled
10 Washington by telegraph to be IN
formed that the President had been
requested to ask for his resignation.
Under the circumstances IT is not at
all strange that Mr.. Crane should
have supposed that he was being re-
called in order that the secretary Oh
state might talk over with him some
of the important matters concerning
his mission
Mr.. Knox says the Crane incident
Is closed. No doubt it Is. Mr.. Crane
Is a small potato" compared with the
great secretary Of state; hence the
president. In view of all that has
happened, will be Obliged TO get rid
