His Excellency Princo Knng Yu Wei,
grand president of the Chineso Empire
Beform Association, nnd former secre
tary to tho deposed Emporor Hwang
8a, yesterday afternoon mado a tour
of inspection of tho city and of tho
state Institutions, arrayed in tho gala
jttire of a real princo. Tho royal
robes which' adorned tho princo wore
beyond description, it being necessary
to seo them to fully appreciate tho ef
fect, but, roughly, they consisted of a
bluo smoking jacket trimmed with gold
braid, a rainy day skirt of dark blue,
lined with a lighter shade of tho samo
tolor, under which a gllmpso was to be
had now and then of a boautiful pair
of bright rod pajamas, which woro
gathered at tho ankles, giving a "pog
kop" offect, and tho whole being nico
Iy finished by a fur cap, from which a
Iqucuo isauod, only to disappear in tho
collar of tho jacket.
Tho princo waa accompanied by his
bnito and a dologation from Portland's
Highest Celestial Bocioty. Among theso
latter was ono who was blessed with
oak eyes and glasses and a wooden
eg, the latter causing him nioro or less
mbarrassmont throughout tho tour, by
Morning twisted, and at ono time
auscd him to loso his balance whilo at
he top of a flight of stairs, and a ca
astropho was only averted by tho pros-
nco of mind of ono of the party in
oldlng him securely by tho scruff of
he neck.
Princo Kang'a suito, heretofore, has
onsisted of his private secretary, Chow
ok Hean, a young Chinaman born and
red in India, who has bcon with tho
Brinco evor since ho mado a tour of
pat country a year ago, nnd who
laims to be a subject of Kinc Ed-
ard, having boon raised in his prov-
Aces nnd attended an English school,
liia bodyguard, Kuport Humor, a
oung Austrian, who joinod tho party
Belgium, being engaged on account
i his ability to speak Gorman, French
nd English, tho lnttor being tho only
Ino of tho three spoken by tho inter-
reter, and whilo traveling in countrios
hero other languages aro spokon tho
Jadygunrd is -utilized as interpreter for
e prlvato secretary, who, in turn,
anslates tho conversation into Chi-
Iso tor his oxcoieincy. Tiie buiio,
iwovcr, was increasod yestordny, whe
ang G. Chin, a former Seattle Chineso
, arrived from Chicago, whoro ho
Hs beon residing since his graduation
lorn tho Northwestom Acadomy, at
ransvllle, to act as assistant inter-
eter and privato secretary.
Aftor tho party had visited tho gov
nor in his office, thoy set out in cabs
' visit the ponitontiary and prison.
Tho ponitontiary was first on tho list
itl by courtesy of Mr. James and tho
easuro of his excellency, a Journal
porter was included in tho party, but
ing a suspicious looking character,
was put under the special super-
sion of Bodyguard Humor, who
wed to bo a very pleasant companr
a, although, owing to his somewhat
oken English, it was difficult at times
distinguish a question from a re-
After being usherod into tho chapel
tho institution, Wong Geo, a former
Went of La Grnndo, who is now
Ting a life sontenco for murder in
i second degree, was usherod into tho
jenco of tho royal party onu a
mn dejected looking Chinaman was
Ter seen, ho appearing to fear that
was to bo. annihilated upon tho spot,
lafter being arraigned before the
we and a short conversation hold,
retired to his corner to get his wind.
at interest waa displayed by tho
rtr when shown the boiler rooms,
1 the sight of tho dungeons nppcarod
hasten them in another direction,
m aftor the execution chambers
f explained to them they became
e excited, and lingered long and
kgly around the scaffold nnd trap.
w kitchen, dining room and Uakery
a duly inspected, and then a round
the wards waa made, .which called
w& the query aa to whether the pris
on therein wero civil or criminal,
much surprise was shown upon
ualng that thero wero no civil pria
er. Every dopartment of tho great
lotion waa shown to tho visitors,
hen usherod into tho chapel once
' all were surprised to see Wong
( appear upon tho nceno onee more
throw himself at tho feet of the
Ma
princo, as though ho had an acute pain
near the waist line. After a short flight
of oratory by his excellency, tho abject
Wong rose to his feot, and in a very
thin, weak voico told his troubles to
tho princo, who, through his interpre
ter, inquired about Wong's cns0 of Mr.
James, and whon it was explained to
him that tho convict had attempted to
shoot ono man and killed another, ho
jnsked if it would bo possiblo for tho
governor to pardon him, if ho, tho
princo, guaranteed that tho convict
would return to his natlvo land. Mr.
Jnmes told him that if tho circum
stances of tho caso warranted such ac
tion on tho governor's part, that it was
in his power to do so, and that as Wong
is an old man it might bo possiblo to
obtain a pardon for him. With theso
assurances tho happy Wong received
tho advico from his excellency that if
he would load n good lifo tho rest of
hij days that ho might hope for some
thing bettor in tho next generation
when ho camo to lifo again. After his
first appearnnco boforo tho royalty,
Wong confided to a friend that ho was
afraid that ho had offended tho princo
because ho failed to "kow tow,"
which probably explains his frantic
bondings and twistiugs on tho second
appoaranco. After complimenting tho
ofilcinls upon tho condition of tho peni
tentinry, and Dr. Shaw upon tho clean
liness of tho hospital ward, tho party
ontored their carriages and wont to
tho asylum, whoro thoy woro cordially
received by Dr. Calbreath, nnd shown
every courtesy. Great interest was
ovinccd throughout tho visit, but a cli
max was roachod when tho laundry,
which was in operation, was reached.
His excellency so far forgot his dig
nity as to run across tho room and
lovingly oxamino, first tho washing ma
chines and then tho wringers, and it is
safo to say that no detail of this de
partment, to tho like of which a hard
opposition is put up many of his coun
trymon, escaped' tho eyes of tho learned
Knng. During tho visit a lioto book
was much in ovidenco in tho hands of
tho high official, and it was learned
that ho is n groat author as well as sci
entist and politician. Aftor the insti
tution had boon thoroughly, exnminod
tho party asscmblod in tho reception
room, where tho doctors askod to give
a discourse on insanity, nnd it was
learned that tho Chineso hold the idea
that when an insano person bcliovos
that they aro somoono else, that thoy
aro possessed of tho soul of tho person
whom thoy think they nro. Hero also
tho information was oxpounded by tho
princo thnt only about one-tenth of
Confucius has over beon translated, and
that as yet thero is no great enough
Chineso student living to translate cor
rectly, but that Socrates and Pinto
both coincide, in their views as ex
pressed, with Confucius.
His oxccllenco took his departure
from his hosts, expressing himself aa
greatly pleased with tho city and the
institutions, nnd also tho state, no did
not oxpress ljimsclf in English to this
offect, as his wholo vocabulary con
sists of "Good byo, thank you," and
n politician's hand-shako, all of which
ho usos often and with fervor.
Tho princo expressed his opinion,
thnt, from present indications, that tho
Japs would eventually whip tho Rus
sians, nnd also stated that all tho
troublo which has como to China has
boon caused by the Empress Dowagor,
who is called "the enemy of civiliza
tion." Sho created tho Boxer rebellion
and offended all powers, in epito of tho
emperor. It was loarned that tho
prince, upon tho death of tho empress,
and tho re-instatement of tho emperor,
expects to resume his position as sec
retary, and then put into effect tho
many now ideas which ho is gathering
abroad.
From Salem tho party will return to
Portland, thonco on a tour of tho
United States, Mexico and South Amor
ica. Tho princo can afford to travel for
somo timo if the custom provails
throughout his travels as here, for the

frequent desire

also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
What To So.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the jjreat kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes tuat unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If yon need a medicine
yon should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book mat tells all
about it, both sent free

Now Mineral Found in Ceylon.
London, Feb. 21. A now mineral,
valued at $1G0 per hundredweight, has
been discovered in Ceylon. Tho fact
is recorded in the report on tho results
of tho mincrnl survoy in tho island,
just issued, which states that a sam-
plo which was supposed to bo uranin
ito, or pitchblende, proves, on comploto
annlysis, to bo a now mineral, which
(it is proposed to namo "tborinnito."
Its principal constituent is oxido of
thorium, of which it contains 70.122
per cent., an amount for higher than
thnt of any mineral known hithoTto.
Thorin, which is used in tho manu
facture of inenndoscent gas mnntols,
is scarce, and-is at presont chiefly ex
tracted from tho moazito sands of
Brazil. "Thorianitc," adds tho re
port, is also radioactive, and a foot

Willinm Ramsay, that radium is pros
ent in tho mineral, and that it fur
