AMERICAN BISHOP
ON CHINESE MISSION
Bishop Bashford Envoy of Celestial
Republic to Washington-Bears
Important Message.

The first representative accredited By
the Chinese republic TO the United
States is not, as might be reasonably
expected. a native of China. but an
American clergyman, Bishop ]. W. Bash
ford. Methodist Episcopal Bishop OF
China.
A cable was sent TO Bishop Bashford
last Friday from the White House max
ing an appointment for his reception by
President Taft on his arrival in Wash
ington. According to Honolulu advices
Bishop Bashford said regarding his mis-
sion to this country: Il will not deny
that 1 am representing the President Of
China at this time. but II would not
be right or proper in any sense for me
to talk upon the mission intrusted to me
by the Chinese republic. It IL Of far
reaching Importance, but II must not be
discussed now
The Honolulu cable says that a letter
from Sun Fo. son OF DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
10 the Honolulu agents OF the new re-
public gave the first real information
as to the true nature Of Bishop Bash
ford's mission to Washington The let
ter urged the Chinese OF Honolulu to
pay every respect and attention to Bish-
op Bashford during his stay there. for
to quote from the communication
This great American teacher has a
great favor to ask OF the President Of
the United States from Yuan Shih Rai
and the government"
No advices have been received at the
Chinese Embassy of the appointment OF
Bishop Bashford as special representa-
tive Of the Chinese republic, which, how
ever. is not doubted. No word has been
received at the embassy OF the reported
appointment Of Chung Nun Yew, a for
mer student Of Yale. as Ambassador or
the Chinese republic to this country.

WOMAN BOOKLOYER
SPRINGS new QUERY
Question of Whether Books on
Summer Fiction Lists Are In
cluded Is Raised.

The only new point of interest In the
BookIovers' Contest which arose yester-
day was an excited inquiry from young
woman contestant as TO whether some
volumes Of fiction included in the forth
coming summer Mits OF the publishers
are included in the competition.
The inquirer desired to know whether
some novels which are announced for
immediate publication. but have not yet
been placed upon the book stalls, are
included In the puzzles. She volunteered
the information tkat she knew OF at least
one case where. she was certain, the
title OF one OF the new books fitted the
picture exactly. AS the book has not
yet seen the light of day, however, she
was doubtful whether she had the right
answer.
There is no hesltancy whatever in an
nouncing that only published volumes are
included in the Booklovers' Contest. Fur
ther than this, no announcement need be
made. II Is impossible to make any
limit" is placed upon the titles-whether
ii includes volumes in the last Christ
mas Lists OF the publishers, or even those
Of this spring. No limitation of this
sort is made in the official announce
ment. and none need be made here.
The contest Is developing more and
more rivalry and discussion. The man
in the street finds as much to interest
him as the clustered booklover. No ele-
ment is lacking to make the competition
ideal for those who have the slightest in
terest in books, and this includes all
those who have received any education
whatsoever.
The following are the prizes in the
contest:
The first prize will be a 81 loo building
