The Emperor of R. A. r&lkraberg. General Command ing Chin ere Imperial Reform Army. China was deeply imprcreed with him and conceived the idea of Improving his army by imitating the Americans. A deep seated prejudice against all foreigners, however, prevented any action being taken looking to that end until several months later, when General R- A. Falken berg. who stands very close to some of I the high officials of the Chinese court. suggested the reorganization of the en tire Chinese army along new lines, con forming to .the methods of the United States Array. "The Emperor of China and some of his leading advisers favored the sugges tion of modernizing and improving the Chinese army. Tliey had seen what Japan had accomplished, and they desired to advance as Japan had done. General Falkenberg was entrusted with the exe cution of the plans, which had been form ulated nearly two years ago. "A movement was Inaugurated for the organization of the Chinese impe rial reform army, to be officered by Americans. The Chinese government appreciated the value of Americans as officers for their new army and Gen eral Falkenberg quietly proceeded to arrange with more than a thousand American officers and ex-officers to Join him In his Chinese army scheme. Several times those In sympathy with the Boxer movement and opposed to ! foreigners, prevailed, and hopes of the new Chinese army vanished, but only to revive airaln with renewed vigor. Tn loading officers have been in con stant communication with one another and with officials of the Chinese gov ernment, and American officers for ih Chinese army may yet become a fact. Wong Kal Kah. one of Um most learned men of China, is now In the United State as a Chinese imperial commissioner.

This letter statos that the roform movement Is growing very rapidly, as it Is in dorsed by the most representative and oducated Chinese In the United States and China and tnovementsare still rapidly advancing, by which China will have a fetandlng army officered by American ex-Army officers, the prln clpal part ot these having -scon sorv- Ice In the Spanish-American War. "General R. A.

DRAPER TO SPEAK Sees No Reason for Sunday Boycott of the Exposition Because the Amusements Are Permitted to Kun on That Day! ' The first Sunday services at the Ex position In a month, or since, the Sunday opening of the Trail, will be held today In the Auditorium. The services will be conducted by Rev. Robert Hope, of the Episcopal Church In North Portland, and the speaker will be Dr. A. S. Draper, LL. D.. of New York. Dr. Draper arrived in Portland yerterday. He says he roes no reason why the Sunday opening of the Trail should Interfere with religious ser vices at the Fair. He will speak on the subject "The Church and Education."

He was educated at the Albany Academy. and the law department of Un ion College. He began his career by teaching school, practicing law later and eerly in his career was sent to the Leg islature. He has been a member of the Board of Education In Albany, member of the United States Board of Com missioners on the Alabama 'Claims, State Superintendent of Public Instruction for New York and has held a number of oth er Important positions. In the Jul- is sue of the Outlook Maguzine. the follow ing tribute is paid to him: "Commissioner Draper has shown statesmanship in educational affairs, a quality native to him. but developed by his Legislative experience and his Inti mate contact with eminent men. such as General Grant, President Arthur, Roscoe Conkllng ami Ames G. Blaine. Sound judgment, uncommon sense, high Integ rity, and courage are the qualities most conspicuous in his character. A fine sense of humor, but not so fine as to be lost on an audience, salts his addresses. and gives them a relish that some others. whose thought Is perhaps as good, wholly lack. 'He is a natural leader.- whose leadership Is toward large and whole some thing. He is trusted, and one never holds a mental reservation when listening to him. Probably no man in the country lias done more to discourage the pettiness of the pedagogue than he. and no one more to hearten the teaching body. The charming, cheering personality of Com missioner Draper is a (distinct force In our public education." NEWSBOYS AT THE FAIR. September 5, Exposition Will Open Its Gates to Them.
