a cable message from pekln oon conftrmed
our worst fears. The loss of our nntvers-ally-lored
and respected sovereign i noth
ing short of a national calamity. The aca
of Princa Chun, brother to the late Em
peror, haa succeeded to the throne, with
Prlnca Chun himself as Regent.
The object of my present miaaton is W
convey to the Government and people of tha
United St a tee the gmteful thanks of tha
go-ersment and people of China for remit
ting a portion of the Boxer indemnity. Tha
generous action on the part of tna 1'nlted
btatea In thla matter has evoked an appra-
' claUve response throughout my country.
Will Renew Old Acquaintance.
While I am In the United fltatea J shall
take the opportunity to vlalt different parts
of the country, enpedelly to renew the ac
quaintance of old frtende and places. I
spent tha davs of my boyhood in New Eng
land, and have not visited this country

pleaaant memories of my former realdenea
in this countrv, wtlictl 1 nave aeariv catr
lhed s.Ji three years, will be greatly en
itched by fresh addition as tbe result of
my preecnt vialt. It la intention to re
main In Washington until nxt March.
While I have In view an extensive tour of
Europe to look Into the financial systems
and method of different countries. X am
not sure whether X snail be ablet to carry
out my original plan. In this oountry X
hope to be able to gather some valuable
Information on thla subject.
There was widespread disappointment
because of the necessity for observance of
the mourning edict during the Embassy's
stay. Preparations had been made for
two splendid banquets and a score of
receptions, but beyond the Informal wel
come Riven the party today, there will
be no official recognition of their pres
ence. Imposing Delegation at Dock.
The Ambassador was received by an
Imposing; delegation. General Frederic
A. Smith, commanding the Department
of California: Colonel Bellinger, head of
the transport service; Commandant E. V.
Kberle. of the naval station, and Captain
E. T. Donnelly, designated to escort the
Kmbaasy to Washington, represented the
Army and Navy. Officials of the Col
lector of the Port, Lieutenant-Governor
"Warren R. Porter, of California: mem
bers of the Chinese Chamber of Com
merce, of the San Francisco Merchants
Association. Chinese Journalists from all
parts of the country and local business
men representing several civic associa
tions were among those on the Govern
ment tug which met the Mongolia In the
bay. On the dock were two troops of
cavalry, a squadron of mounted police
and 60 carriages, provided for the visitors
and their eecort.
Policy to Be Continued.
During the Embassy's stay In this city
a majority of the visitors will be re
ceived by Tung Kwai. Secretary of the
Legation at Washington. In the course
of his informal remarks today and as
spokesman for the party he said:
"We are stunned and saddened by the
removal of the Emperor and the Dowa
ger, but we are altogether ignorant of
any developments that may ensue. We
look for a continuation of the policy that
has prevailed in China during the past
few years. Prince Chun, the late Em
peror's brother, who Is now Regent, has
been, as a member of the Privy Council,
practically at the bead of affairs In the
empire for a year past, and we look for
no important changes that will affect
China's relations with other countries.
The reports of Hots and disturbances in
various parts of the empire have been
much exaggerated."
'Is it likely." Secretary Kwai was
asked, "that Chung Mun Yew, who ac
companies your party, will succeed Min
ister W11 Ting Fang at Washington?"
"We have learned nothing of an Im
pending change at that post except
through unauthorised publications at
borne and abroad." was the reply. "I
might add that Chung Mun Tew Is now
in mourning for his father, and during a
period of many months to come will not
be In position even to consider such an
appointment."

possible successor to a post high In
the diplomatic service, and Hsu Shlh

Kuard of an annual delegation of stu
dents who are to be educated In Amer

ernment, came 17 young men. members,
for the most part, of patrician families,
who will be entered at the University

Once during the day did the self
possession of Tang Phao Yl give way.
Tills was several hours after his ar
rival, when he sat. clothed in a mag
nificent robe of blue, in one of the 22
apartments In the Fairmont. He had
BumrriVdJy spoken of the situation In
China.' und returned noncommittal an
swers to a seore of questions relating
to the probable results of his visit to
Washington. Finally he wo asked to
define exactly the meaning of his un
usual position and his princely retinue.
Xn Tfply he said:
Comes to Mhvy Gratitude.
"Believe us. we have no purpose oth
er than to show the depth of the heart
felt gratitude that the government of
.'hina entertains toward the United
States for this fresh demonstration of
good wilL"
At another point, while discussing
the developments likely to ensue on
account of the regency and the atti
tude of the United States, he remarked:
If there are matters of such grave
Import to be decided. I shall doubtless
participate In the deliberations. You
must understand that during my stay
In this country I outrank the Chinese
Minister, and some matters will prob
ably be referred to me for considera

EDUCATED IX UNITED STATES
Tang Shao VI Is American In Many
AY ays and of Very High Hank.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. Tang Shao
Tl, the high commissioner of the Chinese
Empire to the United States, who came so
many thousand miles to thank the United
Mates Government for remitting part of
the Boxer indemnity, is one of the most
brilliant and capable men of the Flowery
Kingdom. In fact, he is American In
many ways, having received his early
education at Springfield, Mass. He ar
rived there In when 12 years of age,
and became a guest f the family of E.
C Gardner, but later moved to Hartford,
Conn., where he attended the high school,
preparatory to his entrance Into Colum
bia University at New York. He was at
tending that university when he was re
called to China in l.vfl.
Tang Shao Yl Is not only the bearer of
letters and rare presents to President
Roosevelt and other officials of the
American Government, as a token of
China's esteem and gratitude, but he is
commissioned to observe and absorb all
be can concerning the financial and com
mercial systems of the United States, so
that upon his return bis country may
profit by what he has learned.
After his education In this country,
Tung fhao Tl was made manager of the
Imperial railways In North China, and
later became Ambassador to Thibet,
where lie adjusted successfully a differ
ence between England and China over the
perpetual Thibetan question. Later, be
was made minister to England and then
became mandarin of a Manchurlan prov
ince, from which he was promoted to the
Board of Foreign Affairs.
At present Tang Shao Tl Is director
general of railways of the Chinese Em
pire, high commissioner of customs and
a member of the grand council which
governs the nation.
While Tang Shao Tl for a time was an
ardent Progressive, he Is now Identified
with those whose motto Is China for the
Chinese." But those who know him best
assert that this is simply diplomacy with
htm, that be firmly believes in progress
and occidental civilization but be realizes
that he can hope to bring It about only
by degrees.
That his visit to this country means
more than the mere presentation of a
letter of thanks from the Emperor, Is
thoroughly understood, and it Is conceded
that no man In the Imperial government
is better fitted, not only to master the
Intricacies of the American financial
system, but to adopt it to the peculiar
conditions that exist in the Flowery
Kingdom.

MINOR LABOR BODIES MEET
BlILDIXG TRADES AND RAIIi
WAY EMPLOYES TO COXVEXE.
Over 1,000,000 Men Represented In
Two Organizations AVill Be
Fight lor Office.
DENVER, Nov. 22. Tomorrow In this
city will convene two National labor bod
ies, adjuncts to the American Federation
of Labor, which yesterday closed Its an
nual convention here. These two organi
sations represent over 1.000.000 men, the
building trades and the railway employes
departments, the latter an organisation
of 600.000 men formed In Denver on Sat
urday last. The building trades depart
ment will represent about 600.000 men.
and the first session will be called to or
der by President James Kirby,. of Chi
cago, a leader in the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners.
H. B. Perham. of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers, will call the railway em
ployes together, and P. J. Flannery. of
Chicago, president of the International
Fretghthandlers, will be the secretary-
The building trades department of the
Federation has been in existence about a
year, but the branching out of the rail
way employes is a venture that has for
Its purpose the organization of every shop
and track employe connected with the
railroads in the country.
The leaders hope eventually to secure
the co-operation of the organizations of
trainmen, conductors, engineers and fire
men, and thus make the railway em
ployes' organization the most powerful of
its kind in the world.
The building trades department will
have 18 powerful International unions
represented at its convention, and will be
In session eight days. W. J. Spencer is
the secretary.
Goslp among the leaders tonight is
that Frank Ryan, of the Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers. Is after the pres
idency, and also that Kirby would like to
succeed himself. William Costello. of the
Steamntters. wants to be secretary, and
Secretary Spencer. It is said, would ac
cept re-election. Ryan and Kirby both
live In Chicago.
For the railway employes' presidency it
is said that H. B. Perham, of the teleg
raphers, will be chosen, and P. J. Flan
nery named as secretary, simply mak
ing permanent the temporary organization.

ESTIMATES FOR XAVY MATE BY
REAR-ADMIRAL HOLXiIDAY.
Wants $11,341,780 for Xavy-Yards
and Stations and Asks Advances
in Rank and Pay for Men.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. Rear-Admiral
R. C. Holliday. chief of the bureau
of yards and docks of the United States
Navy, makes a strong plea for more ex
tensive improvements at insular stations
and for a. higher standard - in the main
tenance of home Navy-yards. In his an
nual report to the Secretary of the Navy.
The estimates for Navy-yards and sta
tions recommended to be submitted to
Congress at its coming session are as fol
lows: Public works, including repairs and
preservation. J9.811.730: maintenance of
yards and docks, $1,600,000; contingent
vards and docks, 30,000; total. 11. 341.
730. The necessity for additional drydocks
Is urged. All of the principal yards. Ad
miral Holliday states, should have
structures of sufficient capacity to dock
the largest vessels likely to be built
within the near future.
The estimates recommended for the
various Navy-yards and stations Include:
Naval station. Cavite, P. I., $16,900; na
val station. Island of Guam. $44,000:
Navy-yard. Mare Island, Cai.. $1,776,500;
naval station, Olongapo. P. I., $100,000:
naval station. Pearl Harbor, including
an estimate of $200,000 toward the con
struction of a drydock to cost $2,000,000.
$1,300,000; Navy-yard, Puget Sound, $1,
391.000; naval station, Tutuila, Samoa,
$5500.
The need for more civil engineers and
high-class technical assistants is empha
sized and the wisdom of having the Gov
ernment purchase dredeing plants. In
stead of dredging by contract, is urged.
Increases of pay and rank for officers and
