' Washington, Oct. IS. Taking his
first nibble at the mysteries of spirit
ism last Sunday eight, Minister Wu
Ting Fang, tho best educated Chinaman
in ths world, returned to the "medi
ums" but night for a full bits. He
left ths "seance' shock full of lafor
mstioa from ths spirit world, for
through ths "medium1' he it supposed
to have consulted the spirts of the late
President MeKinley snd his own dead
mother. And the latter -talked ia real
Chinese language. t
Minister Ws doors t say he is a eon
vert to spiritualism. In fact, he tries
to avoid the subject entirely while talk
ing with- newspaper men. He admits,
however, that he is Interested, snd tost,
ho may attend other "seances" before
retiring-from his post ia.the atar fu
ture. His first axpeiieaos - oeesrred - last
Sunday night at a public meeting,
where anonymous Chinese spirits were
described to Dr. Wu by jr "tranee
medium," as hovering in ths distin
guished diplomat's immediate vicinity.
Dr. Wu exhibited great interest.
Last night he went again, this time
to a smaller seanoe at a private house.
Dr. Wu refused last night to discuss
his experieaoa-or impressions, snd sven
showed solicitude lest his presence at
the seance should be the subject of
newspaper mention. Ths -woman me
dium who officiated a different one
this time brought- to him messages
purporting to some from ths late Presi
dent MeKinley, who waa-aa intimate
friend of Dr. Wu, and also from the
minister's own mother. Tho latter was
the mere startling because, apparently,
delivered ia the Chinese .signage. .
Those messages are elalacd by the
spiritualists to be brought to the me
dium la trsBOs by the spirit of a 16-year-old
Americas Indian- girl, under
whoee "control" she speaks ia broken
English; yet ths conversation between
Dr. Wu and ths medium, whilo nrten
slbly under this "control," was some
what extensive, lasting fully five min
utes, and seemed to be is the Chinese
vernacular, question and answer, unin
telligible to tho auditors, passing back
and forth with considerable freedom.
There was every evidence that the dip
lomat perfectly understood ths com mo
il ieati on which apparently appeared to
come from ths spirit of Dr. Wq's own
mother. It was asserted thst the
medium and her "control" are both
absolutely ignoraat af ths Chinese laa-

Amsrlcatm and British to Build Ball

i
Washington, Oct. 10. American and
British capitalists hsvs about completed
arrangements with tho Chinese govern
ment to build a railroad from Chin
Chow Fu through Mongolian territory
to Tsitsihar, a distance of about 400
mites. This fset seems to havs dis
turbed the equanimity of Japan.
Published reports from Pekin Indl
cste that Japan has given China notice
that it will maintain its right under
tho two treaties concluded last month
to be soasulted with respect to Mm
ehuriaa railways. Japan says U re

Among- officials here It is retarded as
doubtful if Jspas will Vs permitted to
taterfsra, without obJfeewVn, in this or
other enterprises in China, or Man
eharla in which Americana are inter
ested. Ths fact that an objectios to
the eonstrnctioa or the proposed Chin
Chow Fu Tsitsihar mod Is hinted at by
Japaa Is regsrded hers as tending to
support allegations of monopolistic ia
elinatioas oa the part of Japan.
The proposed railroad tbroue-h Mob
golia will bs a boat 400 miles is 'length
to Tsitsihar, snd, If extended' on the
Amur, its total length will approximate
600 miles. The fact thst H will tap tns
Russian Trans-Siberian road at Tsitsi
har is thought to esrplata tho supposed
uneasiness of Japaa, and. inasmuch as
the Chinese Eastern and South Man-
churl an line, because of lta mors direct
route aad shorter distance to ths soath,
would be likely to b seems a strong
competitor to ths Utter road, whisk is
now controlled by J ipsa.
