PHILADELPHIA. Feb.
-The excrslses
attending tho dedication of the new law
school of the University of Pennsylvania
wcro continued today at tho Academy of ,
Music In conjunction with regular Wash
ington birthday ceremonies of tho univer
sity. The principal guest of honor nnd orn
tor of tho day was Wu Ting Fang, tho '
Chinese minister, who was on tho program
to deliver an address on tbo "Proper Re
lations of tho United States to the Orient."
Tho exercises opened with prayer "by
Bishop Ossl W. Whlttaker. The degree of
doctor of laws was then conforred on the
following by Provost C. C. Harrison: Trof.
James ll.irr Ames, dean of tho
law school of Harvard university;
Gtrald Brown Finch, A. M., Uni
versity of Cambridge: Sir Charles
A. Roe. A. M., University of Oxford; Senior
Assoclnto Justice John Marshall Harlnn of
the supremo court of tho United States;
Oscar 8. Strauss, United States minister to
Turkey: Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister,
and orator of tho day, and President Por
flrlo Diaz, president of Mexico. President
Diaz w.'ik represented by Scnor Manuel do
Azplroz, Mexican ambassador to tho United
States.
President Harrison then Introduced Wu
Th:g Fang, during which he referred to
Chln. as having lived her 4,100 years "pa
tient, pastoral, Immobile;; seeking hitherto
no answer to tho question, 'who Is my
neighbor;' wishing, Indeed, until now not
to bo asked that question. Tho United
States, restless, Inquisitive, Impatient, pro
gressive, achieving results In a century nt
which tho observer marvels, but of which
urselves tnko not the time to think, seeks
admission to tho Celestial kingdom."
Wu Ting Fang, when ho arose, was en
thusiastically received by tho large audi
ence, nnd the university men greeted him
with their well knowu college yell.
Mr. Vu paid n high tribute to the ehar-
cter of Washington nnd discussed the policy
of the United StatcH In tho Orient. Regard-
ng tho government of tho Philippines he
aid:
"A policy of n wise statesman would be
not to enact laws for tho newly ncqulrtd
possessions without thoroughly studying tho
locnl requirements, or to extend tho laws of
the mother country which might bo unsuited
o tho conditions of tho new territories. No
unnecessary chango In tho existing lnws nnd
ustoms should be made, no encouragement
whntover should bo given to the Ill-feeling
of ono race or clasB against another; no step
should taken to please or conciliate one
class In the community at the expense or tho
etrlment of nnothor class; no race or class
legislations should be tolorntcd.
"The policy of tho now ruling power should
be strictly Impartial, fair and just; no hasty
Interference with long-standing customs
hould be allowed unices they are cruol or
njurlous to good morals.
America n Factor In I'nr KiiM.
"Tho United States has now become an
Important factor in tho far cast, not only on
account of her newly acquired possessions
there, but also on account of her steadily In
creasing commerce with tho nations In Asia.
It behoovca her to ndopt a lino cf policy com
mensurate with tho Importance of the
situation. Last December I attended ono of
the numerous exercises In commemoration of
ho death of Washington. Tho orator strongly
advlsod tho audlenco to read Washington's
furewell address, remarking that he thought
that not 10 per cent of that audience had
ever seen that document.
"I took tho hint nnd on my return from
that meeting nvalled myself of tho first op
portunity to pcruso tho address. What
struck mo most wns tho foresight and trans
condant wisdom exhibited In every line of
that address.
For a foreign policy what can
bo grander
than theso words: 'Observe
good faith and Justice toward oil nations;
cultivate neaco nnd harmony with nil.' These
should be written In letters of gold nnd serve
as a guide to every nation In the world.
"It corresponds In effect to what Confu
cius foretold when ho said: 'Let your
words ho sincere and truthful und your pol
icy honorablo and Just.' This good counsel
of Washington has been a potent factor In
shaping the policy of this country and ward
ing off foreign encroachments. And twen-ty-ncven
years afterward, when President
Monroo Issued his caveat against foreign
aggressions on tho Amerlcnn continents, It
was tacitly asqulesced In by nil foreign
powers, vny : uecauso u was iounaeu
on principles of Justice and self-protection.
It wns not entirely a new doctrine, but n
llbcrnl Interpretation of the sound principles
laid down by Washington.
"So to secure tbo 'open door In China!
n,n .nnerntlnn of the creat nowcrs. which
has recently been brought nbotlt for your
rovrmment by the able secretary of state,
Is not a departure from, but a coutlnuanco
of your traditional history.
Monroe Doctrine for Aula.
"Tho question now arises whether it Is
not time for this country to oxtend tho
Monroo doctrine to Asia. Tho Phlllpplno
Islands are situated on tho outskirts of Asia
and may bo said to be at tho very door of
that continent. If It was necessary lor
President Monroo to declaro any attempt
to encroach upon any portion of tho Amer
ican continents, extending over six thou
sands of miles from Alaska to Patagonia, as
dangerous to your peaco and safety, what
will you Bay lo this when JOU find that tho
continent of Asia Is not more than 600 miles
distant from tho I'niuppines : n it was
thought proper not to allow Porto Rico
or any of ttio isianns on mis siuo oi me
Atlantic to puss tnto the possession of any
foreign power, would It bo advisable to
look with Indifference upon any encroach
ment on tho mainland of Asia, especially
the eastern portion, which Is nearer to
Manila than Porto Rico Is to Florida?
I do not apprehend any encroachment
win tw ni.ice. hut tho Monroo doctrine
being the tlxed policy of your government.
tho natural law Is that It should he applied
i fimt n.irt nf the world whero this country
,..o nn, M. Th nniirv la hv nn!
means a selfish one. hut. as I have already
remarked, Is founded on Justlco nnd self
protection, and If persistently carried out
It will tend greatly to tho preservation of
pcaco wherever it Is enforced."

CONCUR ON FINANCE BILL

l'rni-tlenlly Completed,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. When the re
publican conferees of tho two houses of
congress on tbo currency bill adjourned
tonight their work had been practically com
pleted. There were still some slight differ
ences In phraseology nnd Mtlll soino uncer-
tnlnty n to whether tho senate amendment
In tho Interest of International bimetallism
would bo retained, but ono of tho members
expressed tho opinion that flvo minutes to
morrow would bo sufllclcnt to complfto tho
work. They expect n call from the demo
cratlo members tomorrow, and to be nblo
to present tho matter to tho senate during
tho day.
Tho bill was sent to the printer tonight.
All tho membcra to tho conference refused
to glvo out the terms of agreement.
Tho concurrence was so complete thnt thj
nenato confjrecn prepared to call In tho
democratic members, lut the houco repub
licans, Messrs. Broslus nnd Overstreet,
wero not qulto ready for this step, Indi
cating a purpose to continuo their Insistence
on tho two questions still open.
Already, however, most of tho Important
questions havo been disposed of nnd a
complete agreement reached. The lan
guage by which tho gold standard Is estab
lished proved lees difficult than was at
first anticipated. Whllo tho provisions In
tho house and senate bills nere tho same
In principle, they differed entirely In word
ing, nnd after somo consideration the senate
amended Ittclf to tho conferees of both
houses. Tho provision doubtless will bo a
part of tho final agrcemeut, and Is as fol
lows: That tho dollar consisting of twenty
live nnd eight-tenths grains of gold, nine
tenths tine, shall, ns established by sec
tion :iolt of tho Revised Statutes of tho
l nltcd States, continue to be thu standard
unit of value nnd all forimi of money Is
sued or coined by tho I'nltcd States shall
be maintained ut n parity of value with
this standard; nnd Vnlted States notes,
and treasury note"! Nsucil under the act
of Jlllv 11. elirhteen hundred nnd nlnetv.
when presented to tbo treasury for re
demption, snan tie reueemeu in koiu com
of such standard.
Another difficult question has been tho
sennto provision as to an International bl
metallic conference. Tho houae conferees
havo been loath to accept this, and up to
tonight they had declined to yield, ntthough
tho chances seemed rather more favorable
to Its retention than Its rejection.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. -An annual cus
tom which has prevailed In tho senate for
many yenrs Is the reading by somo senator
designated by resolution, of Washington's
farewell address, Immediately after tho
reading of tho Journal of the senato on
Washington's birthday. Soveral weckB ago
Senator Fornker. tho senior senator from
Ohio, was selected to read tho address.
It Is a notable compliment to him that
when tho senate convened today all tbo
private and public galleries wero crowded
nnd scores of people stood In tho corridors
unable to gain admission. An unusually
large attendance of senators was present
and nil gave close attention to Mr Fora
ker's reading, which wns a flno bit of elocu
tion. At the conclusion of the rending ho
was congratulated by his colleagues.
In accordance with a tncll ngrecrnont with
tho senators who wero unable, on account of
the meeting of the democratic national com
mittee to attend today's session Penrose of
Pennsylvania refrained from calling up tho
Quay case, ub be bad yesterday announced
ho would do. When ho announced, how
over, his Intention to call It up tomorrow n
brief parliamentary squabblo ensued as to
the rights by which tho caso would come be
fore the senate. No conclusion wns reached,
the questions linolved being postponed for
considcmtlon until tomorrow.
NO GERMAN TREATY IN SIGHT
'Meat from the I lilted Slates Do Nol
(irl the Consideration
line Tlicui.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Tho action of
tho Gorman Reichstag on the meat In
spection bill yesterday has not removed the
causo of tho delay In tho Initiation of ne
gotiations for a reciprocity treaty between
tho United States and Germany under tho
terms of section 1 of the Dlngley tariff
net.
An effort was made by tho German cm
I bassy last spring to lay the foundation for
i such a treaty, animated by a desire to
secure equal advnntnges with France In
tho matter of trade with the United States.
These matters came to an abrupt halt be
cause of tho determination of our State do-
partment to make the abandonment of some
of tho severe restrictions on tho Importation
into Germany of American meat and other
food products, ono of the leading features
of our side of the treaty. The German
government was unable (o mako any such
concessions without legislative authority
from tho Reichstag. Tho Imperial govern
ment promised to submit a bill to that body
which It wns thought would satisfy our de
mands. Tho bill was prepared during tho
last summer. While It contained some
features of relief, It could scarculv bo re
garded as satisfactory to our government.
Western sausage makers piotested to the
Agricultural department, which was looking
after tho details of the bill, against the
sweeping exclusion of American sausages
from Germany, thus cutting off an Important
and growing branch of trade, and nt tho
samo tlmo casting most Injurious aspcrsons
upon tho purity of tho American product.
Othor objections were mndo to tho depart
ment by our merchants and packers. But
on the wholo tho bill, as prepared by the
German executive branch, might have been
tolerated. Tho amendments which have
been placed on It by the agrarian Interests,
however, are such ns to make It certain
that It cannot be nccoptcd ns a baBls for a
reciprocity treaty. One condition as to
Imported fresh meats alone is regarded ns
Impracticable, namely, thnt thn slaughtered
animals must bo sent over whole and with
tho Intostlnes attached.
It Is belloved, though a formal decision
has not boen reached ns yet, that our gov
ernment will be obliged to declaro that
this bill will not meet its desires, ami
that It must therefore, decline to undcrtako
negotiations looking to a reciprocity treaty.
