High Words of Praise for Coédition
of Chinese Government.
Ban Francisco, May 16.—E. H. Con­
ger, ex-American minister to China,
who was recently appointed ambassador
to Mexico, arrived today on the steam­
er Siberia, from the Orjent.
Mrs.
Conger accompanied him.
It te Mr.
Conger’s intention to proceed almost
immediately to the City of Mexico, un­
less he receives orders to the contrary.
Mr. Conger said that diplomatic mat­
ters in China are in a satisfactory con­
dition. To a question as to China’s
neutrality in the Russo-Japanese war,
he said :.
“China haa always been disposed to
maintain the strictest neutrality be­
tween the warring nations, and, al­
though there has been considerable
criticism from l>pth Japanese and Rus­
sian sources, I believe that the Chinese
government has never shown partiality
one way' or the other, but has always
adhered strictly to the requirements
of the international law.”
Mr. Conger was asked concerning the
periodic rumors of Boxer uprisings and
replied:
,
* “ThSre is absolutely notruth^in such
reporter There is no danger of another
Boxer outbreak. Of course, there are
occasional troubles in the interior, but
they arise from purely local causes
which have no bearing on the presence
of foreigners, i There is no organized
movement in China against foreign peo­
ple*. There npver has been a time in
tbe history of the country when the
government was more ,ready or better
prepared to put down any incipient
organized effort that might be directed
against resident foreigners.”
Vice President Coming to Portland as

OHN SIATE HEMS OF INTEREST
LAND FRAUD TO BE SCARCE.
NO MORE SUMMER SMOKE.
Washington, ^fay 15.—Vice Presi­
dent Fairbanks'intended to leave for
his Indiana home last night to spend
the next two months with his family,
but he received word that the president
wanted to see him, and called at the
White house at 11:30 today.
The
president told him of his deep interest
in the Lewis and Clark exposition and
his regret that he himself could not
attend the opening of it.
He said,
however, that
the
administration
should be represented, and to his mind
nothing would be more appropriate
than that the second official of the na­
tion should represent the president on
that occasion. Mi. Fairbanks prompt­
ly fell in with the president’s sugges­
tion, and expressed bis thorough will­
ingness to go to Portland, and has now
changed jiis plans so as to reach Port­
land the last week in May.
He and
Mrs. Fairbanks will be present and
participate in the opening ceremonies.
The vice president will make the prin­
cipal speech of the occasion.
Being unable to get to Portland either
at the opening of the exposition or later
in the summer, the president has ac­
cepted the invitation exfended to him
by President Goode to press the button
which will be the signal for the formal
opening of the exposition, at 1 o’clock
on the afternoon of June 1—that is, 1
o’clock Portland time, 4 o’clock Wash­
ington time.
A special through tele­
graph wire will be run from the East
room of the White house into the ex­
position grounds at Portland. At the
Washington end will be the same gold
key which President Roosevelt used to
open the St. Louis exposition last year,
and which former presidents used to
open the Chicago, Buffalo aud other
expositions of times past.
