that he was going home to be degraded-
because he had failed In de
feating the Chinese exclusion bill be
fore the American congress. With
such craft was this idea disseminated
throughout the world that most peo

the matter, believe to this day that
Mr. Wu has gone from a place of
honor In the t'nlted States to take a
minor and absolutely unimportant
post under his government at home.

But the facts In the case are slight
ly different from what they seem. If
the plans that are making are carried
out by the governments interested in
them. Wu Ting Fang will be the
greatest man In the Chinese empire
within a few years. So great are
the plans that the personality- of Wn
Ting Fang ought not properly be con
sidered at all In connection with
them. He is a mere cogwheel in the
great machine that has been set In
motion by at least three of the great
powers of the earth to preserve the
Chinese empire from disintegration.

ing. The government of the United
States knows It, and the government
of the United States Is going to stnnd
oenind China in insistini: that her
errltory be not taken from her to
satisfy a disagreement over the nrice
Pi sliver and gold as set forth in a
treaty of peace. Wu Ting Fang has
gone to China for the express pur
pose of l.eeplng IiIe government In
formed that the United States will
stand behind China in insisting upon
making the payments in silver, and
that the iulluence of the United States
will be useu against any partition of
the empire. Hussla, satisfied with
the part of China she got during the
Boxer troubles Manchuria takes the
same attitude as the United States.
and Japan also takes that attitude.
These three nations, having large
commerce with China, will prevent
any encroachments upon Chinese ter
ritory. not, perhaps, because of love
for China, but because their interests
demand that the empire be kept in
tact so that they may freely enjoy a
part of the great commerce of that
country.
United States Watchful
It Is even suggested In Washington
that a good part of the great navy

will be put into Far Eastern waters
as soon as it shall have been com
pleted, and at any rate, until the new
navy Is finished, a sufficient fleet of
vessels will be kept close to Chinese
waters, as an object lesson to the
world that this country has commer

safeguard. On account of this watch

Recent Distinctions Conferred by the
King 8tir Up Contentions Among
Officials.
The recent distinction conferred by
the king on the cities of Melbourne
and Sydney and giving their chief
magistrates the enhanced dignity of
lord mayor and the title of right hon
orable has raised some Questions of
etiquette and precedence, cays the
London Chronicle. It Is contended in
some quarters that the title of right
honorable gives the lord mayor of
Melbourne, the temporary capital of
trio commonwealth, rank and preced
ence over the president of the federal
senate and the speaker of the house
of Representatives, who are only hon
orables. If at tho next great vicere
gal function tho lord mayor of Mel
bourne attempts to go ahead 6f the
firr.t commoner of the whole common
wealth, complications may arise. But
perhaps, in the meantime the Her
ald's college In London will be con
sulted on this and kindred points,
and an amicable solution arrived at.
