AMERICAN 'TRADE IN THE ORIENT.
Minister Wri's Address to the South
ern Industrial Convention.
T PHILADELPHIA, June 12. At the
Southern industrial convention today "The
-Relations of- the Southern States to the
Productive Wealth of the Nation" was
discussed by the Governors of the vari
ous states-or their representatives. Specially-appointed
delegates' presented "The
Industrial Commercial Advantages of the
'Clties'of the South."
, Horticultural -Hall was crowded, tonight
C when Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Min
ister, addressed the convention on "Amer
ican Trade With the Orient." Minister
Wu was given a flattering reception, and
? his Speech was frequently Interrupted by
r applause. He said:
"The 'world today Is pervaded with a
. spirit at commercialism. The cry now
everywhere is commercial expansion. This
is very good. I am very glad to hear it.
It Is far better than territorial expansion
"' This" latter expansion In many cases
' works hardship and does injustice. In
making this comparison I do not mean to
refer to any nation or to any individual;
' I am speaking in a general way. Trade
and commerce is good for us; It benefits
i you and it benefits us; it is a mutual
; "advantage
1 "There are those who for some trade
. concession make an excuse to seize terri
tory, and there are merchants, and those
belong -to the great, numerous, class who
r are sincere in their trade and give "what
they take; s they earnestly deal In what
they possess. China is one of those na-
tf 6ns--which consume more than they can
t produce. So In many things we have
turned to the foreigners for goods that
Xe .need. Thus, China Is the greatest
market for your people. We consume
many things that we do not grow."
Continuing, Mr. Wu said China's Im
ports of American cotton were Increasing
every year. He said It had been argued
that China, was economical, and "would,
not purchase many American manufac
tures, .especially those, termed luxuries.
Human- nature, he said, is .never satls
fied, and the Chinese will buy many things
when they come to know the use of them.
"Commerce," said Minister Wu, "makes
friends,, cements friendship and., main tains
peace. Therefore, by extending: your com
merce, ydu will be indirectly maintaining:
the peace of the world.'

PORTLAND SHOULDGET IT
NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONYEN
VENTION IN 1002.
Superintendent Ackerman Snggcatm
That an Invitation Be at Once. Ex
tended to the Association.
SALEM, June 12 Superintendent f
Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman is of
the opinion that Portland stands a,' good
chance of securing the .National Educa
tional Association meeting In 1902, and
suggests that arrangements should .be
made at once to extend an Invitation to
the 'association and properly to urge the
claims of that city. The meetings of the.
National Educational Association are
attended by thousands of teachers in
public and private schools in every sec
tion of the United States. If Portland
should secure the meeting for next year,
those teachers would learn of the climate
and resources of this state and would do
more In disseminating that Information
than would any other class of people.
From the sole standpoint of advertising
the country, therefpre, the holding of a
session of the association at Portland
would seem to bo well worth striving
for. ,
In speaking of the matter today Su
perintendent Ackerman said:
"It has occurred to me that this might
be an opportunp time to dall the atten
tion of the people, of the state," and es.
peclally of Portland, to the advisability
of extending an Invitation on behalf of
the state and city to the National Educa
tional Association to hold Its next year's
session In Portland. The association will
meet at Detroit, Mich., July 8-12, and the
Invitation could be given at that time.
"Such'an Invitation was extended to the
association three years ago, and was well
received; so much -so. that the executive
committee of the association, after a care
ful examination of Portland's claims, re
ported In favor of Portland as Its second
choice. With the action of the commit
tee as a guide, may we not hope to secure
the association when It next comes to the
Coast, as it' will in the near future? In
fact, many of Its prominent -members
have repeatedly expressed a belief that
Portland's chances are excellent If she
will only present her claims In the proper
way.
"I would suggest that the matter be
taken up by the citizens of Portland, and
such steps taken as will Insure to them
this meeting. That a meeting of this great
association will be of incalculable value
to the educational Interests of the state
there Is no question; hence, It Is needless,
perhaps, for me to say that the state edu
cational department stands ready to assist
In every possible way In securing the
association meeting at Portland."

New Bids for Statehonse Work.
Owing to the fact that plumbers have
not had time to secure prices on materials,
the bids for making the new lavatory -improvements

chance to figure on the Job, Only one bid

HEIRS FILE STATEMENT. .
Object to Bankraptcy Proceedings
Against Gilbert Bros Bank.
SALEM, June 12. Emma Johnson and
Irene Per rlne, heirs of the Wlllam Cos
per estate, today filed a statement In the
Probate Court They are wiling that the
estate be administered upon according to
the terms of the will, and that the suit
now pending In the Circuit Court, and
brought by Executor Tllmon Ford against
Gilbert Bros., be -proceeded with. They
also desire that Receiver Claud
Gatch continue to act until the account
ing Is complete. The heirs further state
that they are opposed to bankruptcy
proceedings now pending In the Federal
Court, believing the suit In the state
court to be the proper method for ob
taining a complete accounting, and, that
the case can be more economically man
aged In the state court. They authorize
the Executor to use. his best endeavors
to have the bangruptcy proceedings dis
missed or stayed.
, This statement by the Cosper heirs will
be presented In the United States Dis
trict Court for consideration in the bank
ruptcy proceedings against Gilbert Bros.
The present indication- Is that litigation
will be reduced to a minimum.

Francis Joseph arrived here today for

rather exhausting at his age. The city
is crowded with visitors and great pre
cautions are taken to Insure the safety
of the Emperor. He was received by the
municipal authorities with elaborate cere
monies and, when replying to tne Burgo
master's address of welcome, expressed
his never-falling Interest In the lovely
City of Prague and his deep thanks for
the hearty reception given him. He then
drove through the gaily-decorated streets
to the regal palace, the populace cheering
vociferously.
Each day's ceremonies have been
planned so that the Czechs and Germans
may share equally In the imperial favor.
Great difficulty arose as to which the
ater His Majesty should visit first, the
decision finally falling upon the Czech
Theater, because Dvorak's new opera,
"Russalkae," Is billed for performance
there.
Although tho National feeling has sub
sided sufficiently to warrant the Imperial
visit, the day did not pass without Its
Incident. The clubhouse of the German
Students' League was decorated with Ger
man colors, black, red and yellow. Czech
crowds gathered and Insisted that the
colors be removed. When the Germans
refused to comply with the demand, the
Czechs tore them down amid shouts of
"Down with the Prussians." The police
are forbidden to .use any but Austrian
colors, black and yellow, and In order to
avoid friction, many artistic Invitations
have been Issued In the French lan
guage. MEDALS FOR VETBIIANS.
