PARIS. July It. Liang Chen Tuns, the
newly appointed Chinese minister at Wash
ington, who Is now In Paris with Prince
Chen's mission to King Edward's corona
tion, of which he was secretary. Is delighted
with his appointment. He said In an In
terview with the correspondent ot the As
sociated Press: "I return to Washington
with the greatest pleasure. I had so many,
friends there and college mates, who are
now prominent, men, and bad a friendship
of several years' standing with Secretary
May. whom I warmly liked." .
As to the United States' relaUons with
China he ssld:
Tou can assert emphatlcal'y that not only
the Chinese government but the people of
China are most grateful for the United
States' fair dealing and the friendly dis
position shown throughout the recent diffi
culties, and Its late action In the Tien Tfln
question has still further Increased China s
gratitude. The United Btate will cer
tainly receive as good treatment as any
power In the commerc al and Industrial de
velopment of the Chinese empire.
As an Illustration of the Imperial feeling
toward the United StRtes, you can say th-t
when I returned to Pekin with the recent
Chinese mission to Germany the emperor
and dowager empress expressed to me their
kratltude for the good behavior of the
American troops at -Pekln and their ap
preciation of America's attitude generally.
To Retarn In December.
This mtenlon returns to Pekln by way
of the United States, sailing July tt, on
board Philadelphia, which we selected be
cause It Is sn American vessel. 1 shall
accompany the mission to Pekln, returning
to Washington at the end of December or
the beginning of 1903. I am going first to
my home In Canton, In order to take my 1
two boys with me to the United States, as
I desire them to receive an American edu
cation, which has been of such a great
benefit to myself e . i ,'

sion, sntsrsd thn-room during tha foregoing
conversation and'aatd in ' Chinese, which
Liang Chen Tung Interpreted:
I wish to ssy that X hav great admira
tion for newspaper men and for the United
States.
A high member of tha mission, referring
to the adverse criticisms of the recent ap
pointments of Chinese diplomats. Informed
the correspondent of the Associated Press
that these were not applicable to Liang
Chen Tung, who was specially chosen on
account ot his American education and ex
perience. He had held the Important post
of secretary to three ot the last foreign
missions, and had just received a high dec
orationthe blue button. He already held
the brevet red button, which Is a higher
distinction at court, but the blue button
carries with It higher privileges when the
bearer leaves Pekin. The bolder ot a blue
button when visiting ths provinces Is ac
corded the honors and distinctions ot a
viceroy or governor.
t Liang Cbea Tung has received a number
ot congratulatory letters and cablegrams,
on of the latter being from John W. Fos
ter, the former United States secretary of
state, who at tha Invitation of tha emperor
of China participated In tha peace negotia
tions with Japan.
Wa Receives Notice.
WASHINGTON, July IS. Minister Wu
has received official notification of bis re
call to Pekln, to resume a connection with
the new Chinese foreign office. He hsd
previously received a copy of the official
decree naming himself, with Ehen Bhal
Pen,1 as tha . compiler, ot a. new code of
laws for China, but he waa not certain
thit the new duty could not be discharged
In' Washington- without ths surrender ot
bis mission. . Now, however, . he is In
formed that he Is to come to Pekln. The
data of his departure. has not been set, as
It depends on tha arrival here of Liang
Chen Tung, who Is to succeed him, from
London. The change cannot be made jn
aide of a month or si weeks.

United States authorltlea, recognising tha
Intensity and bltternasa of hla fft.-llna-
among the Filipino, and at the same time
Being- aesiroua or acting with the Yno.t
scrupulous falrneaa toward tha church,
were willing to arrange fur the purchase
of the church lands by tne government, if
the church authorities would withdraw
the friars , who ara not now, and for years
have not been, performing their religious
functions among the people, and who would
replace them by other members of tha
church who might take up with greater
succeaa the highly necessary religious work
wnicn mey are no longer ania to perform.
WASHINGTON, July 1. One week from
tomorrow Governor Tsft will sail , from
Italy, resuming his Journey to Manila. If
the Vatican has by that data concluded ta
accept the terms respecting the aala of fee

and the arrangement will be retarded as
closed.
If, on the other hsnd, the cardinal com
mittee which is dealing with this Im
portant matter, decides not to accept the
terms proffered or tt Is not prepared to
make a Anal answer, tha governor will still
proceed on his way and tha negotiations
will be auspended. This decision on the
part of Secretary Root prqbably Is the
most Important outcome of hla recent trip
to Oyster Bay, where the subject was dis
cussed with the president.
It does not follow that Governor Tatt'a
resumption of his Journey without signing
the pspers of sale and withdrawal means
the absolute abandonment of the negotia
tions on those points. Technically they
will be regarded aa merely auspended and
so open to resumption at any moment when
either of the principals baa change of mind
sufficient to warrant a new proposition.
Meanwhile there will be no change of the
status of the friar orders In the Philip
pines. Their lands will remain in the pos
session of the Insular government and the
several hundred friars who are tarrying
In Manila as charity charges uoon other
branches ot the church, probably will re
main there or gradually find their way to
another country. '

strikers were to meet In the forenoon to
dlsct.es the situation.
. There was much doubt aa to what the
strikers' answer tb the unspoken question
would be. Committees reported last night
that agreements had been settled on be
tween the committees and the Lake Shore
and' Michigan- Southern, the Illinois Cen
tral and the Northwestern 'roads They
said the last nsmed rosd had granted 1?H
cente to the truckers, but Asslstsnt Gen
eral Manager Ashton denied tbst any
agreement bad been reached. There were
troubled mlnda over the altuatloa aa to the
Illinois Central also, for ill remembered
that several days ago a committee signed
an agreement with this road whleh was re
pudiated by the majority of tha strikers.

Prospects ware that the strlkera' meeting

Curran bad declared determined opposition
to the agreemeata reached yesterday, while
oa the other hand the mea were credited
with a desire to accept the allghest oonces
slons, In ordsr to return to work. Should
the strikers indorse the reported agree
menu, however. It was believed by many
that more than one day would be required
to aettle affairs, for twsnty roads remained
to be reckoned with.
Chief ot Police O'Neill expressed relief
that the wholesalers hsd agreed not to at
tempt to move freight till I p. m. The
merchants had Intended to make a de
termlned effort to resume shipping this
morning, but when a prospect ot peace
again appeared last .night tbey decided to
wait a little longer before taking action
which It waa believed certain would pre
cipitate violence.
Plan ef Arbitration.
The following proposition, which President
Curran said he waa in favor of acting on,
waa presented this morning by Chairman
Job ot the State Board of Arbitration:
To the Frela-ht Handlers of Chicago: Tha
Illinois State Board of Arbitration, after a
thorough Investigation of the present
freight handlers' strike In Chicago, and ot
the complications which have grown out
of that atrlke, recommends to the officers
and men of the several local unlona of the
Interior Freight Handlers and Warehouse
men's Union of America, that tha men re
turn immediately to their respective places
of employment and apply for the positions

We further recommend that tha emnloyes
of esch ot the several railroads appoint a
committee to confer with the management
or tne railroad by. wnicn tney are em
filoyed for the purpose of adjusting exist
ng difficulties.
One of the first development of ths day
was ths appearance of a swarm of pickets
at one. of the freight houses ot the Chicago
4b Northwestern and tha turning back of
Seven trucka aent tbera to remove freight.
Tha teams were checked ealy after aoma

to advise, under no circumstances will ha

It shall do. He said this afternoon, how

Mlaaoarlana Against Strike.
The Missouri men are against a strike
nd are Instructed to fight against It on
the floor of the convention. Alexander I
Patterson, who represents the Colorado
miners, says he does not favor a atrlke I
only aa the last resort. The Indiana men I
are against a atrlke. The delegates from
Illinois are partly unlnstructed and others
have Instructions against a atrlke. Those
ho are unlnstructed will rot declare what
they will do, .hut many ot tbem say they
are opposed to a strike. W. F. Williams,
president' of the Michigan delegation, said
thla afternoon that the men from his stale
have never declared In favor of a strike.
The Michigan district signed the call for
the convention and It was generally
thought that they would favor a atrlke.
But this, Mr. Williams, declares, is not the
fact. Tha delegates from ths anthracite
regions are strongly In favor ot a atrlke,
but are urging their vlsws with modera
tion. There seems to be little selfishness
In the action of any of tha delegations and
they promptly declare themselves for the
greatest good for the greatest number of
the organisation. ..The men -who say that
they are agalnat a strike say at the earns I
time that they are willing to atrlke If they
see no other way to aid the anthracite
miners. The anthracite miners declare
that while they are anxioua to have all tha
aid that can help them to win the atrlke
they are not disposed to foroe the bitumi
nous miners to break their contracts tin.

MOLDERS STILL WAITING
Details of Featheratone Proposition
Kot Yet Submitted to
Local t alon.
H. A. Wright, representative of tbe
Featherstone foundry at Chicago, was in
Omaha for a few hours yesterday In con
nection with the proposition of. his com
pany to erect a foundry in Omaha and give
employment to the iron molders formerly
employed by the Union Pacific. Mr. Wright
le t the city at 4 o'clock In the afternoon
without giving out any definite Information
as to the results or objects ot bis visit.
President Dillon of tbe lorsl mnldTs'
union; said he did not meet Mr. Wright
and wsa not prepared to speak of bis visit.
It was learned from other representatives
ot this craft In Omaha that the Feather
stone proposition Is not settled In every de
tail yot, notwithstanding the fact tbat It
has been approved by ths International con
vention now In session at Toronto, Ontario.
According to tha version of one of these
men tbe local molders held the key to the
situation sod their wishes will not be Ig
nored by the International body. He stated,
however, that It was the general Impression
that while matters were not entirely settled
they would be, and that along the Una pro
posed by the Featheratone people.
"Ths time limit within which the Feath
erstone people propose to erect the foundry
In Omaha is what Is causing tbe delay," said
this man. "We proposed In the original
prcpostlon that ths Featheratone people
agree to have the foundry completed and
ready for operation within three months
from the time the bargain went Into effect.
Thla they accepted at first, but later ob
jected to and offered to compromise on four
months, which was sstiefactory to s, and
we offered to enter Into an agreement upon
this proposition, and the Featberstons peo
ple volunteered to submit a bonus of $3,000,
to be forfeited in case they failed to comply
1th the agreement. But when it rame to
signing this contrsct the Featheratone peo
ple were not there and thus the proposition
fell through. Since that time it has been
tmpotslble to get them to come to any defi
nite understanding or agreement ae to a
time limit, and consequently the proposition
till hangs fire.
"I will say this, however: It is my opin
ion, and I think the opinion of all tbe local
moulders, that the Featheratone proposition
wilt yet be settled en, and In time carried
out, and we will have a foundry here In
Omaha."
The local molders have not yet received
tbe full details of the Featherstone propo-
ltlon as acted on by their international
body at Toronto. Their delegate, James
Dalton, has only written them meagerly,
saying the proposition has been approved.
Tbe same Information has been received
from President Fox and the full details are
till awaited.
OTATOES FLOOD THE MARKET
apply Exceeds the Demand and
Prices Go Rapidly Down
the Scale.
The price of potatoes on the Omaha
market has been going down at a rapid rate
for the past few ' days' and tbey caa
no longer be classed as luxuries, as was
the esse only a short time ago. On Mon
day of this week potatoes came rolling In
from all directions and ever since that time
the- market . has been flooded. The etock
that la now offered will keep only a abort
time and for that reaeon dealers must find
an outlet or have them spoil on their hands.
It Is quite a problem, however, to find an
outlet, for reporta from nearly all sections
of the country show that ' this Is by no
means the only place where there ara
rates" potatAe than immediate requlrementa
demand. Until--a -short time ago Omaha
wholesalers were shipping stock to ths
north, but now that demand la shut off
and dealers have to content themselvea
with cutting the price and by tbat means
Increase home consumption.
There Is no real market price now
that can be quoted, aa people who have
potatoes to soil take most anything tbey can
get add aa a result some astonishingly low
sales have been- made. On Wednesday,
However, the wholesale market for good
stock was about 35 cents per bushel.
The cause for the heavy receipts ot
the last few days Is tbe exceptionally large
crop In all sections tributary to this mar
ket. Besides that It is claimed tbat tbs
potatoes are rotting in tbe ground and
farmers are forced to dig them and aend
them to market. It la expected, however,
that from this time on the trouble from that
source will decrease and that the market
will aoon be In a normal condition.
Amusements.
Kroar Park.
One of the largest crowds of tbe season
attended Krug park last night. The spe
cial event that was rssponsible for the
unusual rush was a ragtime concert by
Huster's band. Tbe cars, were crowded
all evening. The program Included twelve
regular numbers and half as many extras,
The popular and lively coon melodlea were
enthusiastically received. Tbe "Passion
Play" and other entertainmenta tbat con
stltute the bill came in for attention and
added to tbe pleasure to be derived In ad
dltlon to tbe comfort of the coolness of
the popular resort. The moving pictures
of tbe Mont Felee volcanto disaster, which
were delayed in shipment, have arrived
and will be ahown Sunday evening for the
first time.
Will Let Habby Wear Uniform.
An unsatisfied curiosity In regard to the
snortlns- life of the city and a suit of khaki
summer uniform brought Mrs. Sadie Jones
a bitter dose of the kind of trouble dealt
out by the police department. Detectlvea
