CONSUL HO YOW

DESCRIBES. AMERICAN OFFICIALS.

Robed in long flowing garments, of the richest Oriental textiles, a modest display of the imperial purple at his wrists, where the sleeves rolled up, and a simple black skull cap on his head, lo. Yow, Consul General from the court of the Chinese Emperor to San Francisco, alighted from a Pullman sleeper at Union Station, St. Louis, Frida moming There

was no reception committee to meet him. Escorted by his three American travelling companions he hurried through the growd of passengers and siation employes to Market st.. where a cab was in waiting.

--

Ho Yow smiled and nodded his head. "If the gentlemen please," he said, "we will travel on the street car. I wish to notice the street car service in your city. It is my first visit here, so I wish to see how the St. Louisans live."

The party hailed a Market st, car, in com pliance with the Consul General's wish and rode to the Planters' Hotel. During the ride Ho Yow occupied a seat with W. A. Chicker- ing, a San Francisco attorney, and nodded frequently to curious passengers, who turned to catch a glimpse of the tall, unusally garbed, Celestial.

HAD HEARD OF THE BONDLERS. The Consul ate breakfast in the Planters' Cafe with Mr. Chickering, Geo. T. Hawley

and Geo, M. Hawley, his travelling companiony. While enjoying a large plate of ham, and eggs, his favorite morning dish, Ho Yow was visited by members of the Business Men's League and representatives of the press.

"St. Louis reminds men of San Francisco more than any other American city I have visited," he said. "You haven't the rush and tear here that they have in Chicago, but from what I have heard I believe you have one of the three great cities of the United Stales. Your commercial possibilities are un. equalled. So far I have seen so little of the city that I can not form an impression of its ~etisical and urtistic mature. Oh, yes, 1-have reat of boodling here. Your American offi. cials are wonderful business men. They are the most enterprising men in the world."

HO YOW DRINKS COFFEE.

Ho Yow-dránk a part of a cup of coffee. A. newspaper man expressed surprise that the beverage was not tea.

"Oh, not" answered the Consul, umiling, "You see I have been in America six years, and am becoming Americanized."

Ho Yow remarked that his visit to St. Louis would ie his last in an official capacity.

I have served notice to my Government! that in six months I will tender my resignation,” he explained. “I think that I can do my coun-

try more good and benefit myself by devoting my time exclusively to the interests of the Chinese-American Commercial Co., of which i am the founder. The company will establish museums throughout China for the exhibition of American manufactured goods. Similar museums will be established in the United States for the benefit of Chinese manufac turers."

Consul Yow will remain in St. Louis a week, after which he will visit New York and other Eastern cities. Friday morning he visited the World's Fair site and a number of manufactur ing institutions,

The Consul is nearly six feet tall. He walks with a decided stoop, however, this decreasing his height several diches. He wears a queue several feet in length and is vain over it. He speaks English with great, fluency and no foreign accent. Minister Wu Ting-fang is a brother-in-law of the Consul..

THE EVAQUATION OF MANOHURIA.

GENERAL GRODÝĽKOFF'S-RECALL?? The unexpected recall of Genefal Gradyckoff from his important post of Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian forces: in the military district of the Amur has been followed by his nomination as a member of the Imperial Council. The nomination becomes all the more striking when it is known that membership of the Imperial Council is reserved as a rule for those officials who, having "done the State some service," have carned justly the leisured ease of old-nge. But the able infantry, general, Gradyckoff, is only 5 years of age,

and

at this moment he enjoys the well-merited reputation of being one of the leading Russian experts in matters appertaining to warfare in Asia. He is regarded alike by officers and men as being a wonderfully clever field- officer, and his 'conduct of the Manchurian campaign in 1900 won for him the gift of a golden sword of honour from the Czar. General Grodyckoff's great experience of Asian warfare was gained side by side with. Skobeleff and Kuropatkine, the present. Minister of War. He gained renown some years ago by riding with only a few officers from "Samarkand to Askabad, along the northern frontiers of Afghanistan and Persia. In the Far East his carefully planned methods succeeded in quelling the rebellious Chun- chues, when peace with China was concluded, and in pacifying the vast district of Manchuria, : nearly 15,000 square miles in extent. Nor was his work then at an end. Railways were built; the high roads were made secure, and the river traffic was developed.

SEWING

To the outside world, Russiz made the most of its "civilising" influence in Manchuria as justifying the continued occupation of Man- churia by Russian troops, exactly as the.

But it would be scarcely fair to hold General Grodyckoff responsible for the well-known peculiarities of the average underpaid Russian official. Are the motives of this recall of an urgent political nature connected with the evacuation of Manchuria by Russia? It is well known that Russia's present desire is, above all things, to have peace with and 10 stand well" with China. This explains the restoration of the Shan-hai-kwan Rail way to China on September, 25, and the evacuation by Russia of the territory held by her troops south of the Liau river. Now, General Grodyekoff is said to have opposed any changes in the "status que," and to have wished to postpone the evacuation of Man

churia.

UCONFIDENCE'

said Lord. Chatham, "-a plant of slow growth”. People believe in things that they see, and in a broad sense they are right. What is sometimes called blind faith is not faith all. There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust. In regard to a medicine or semedy, for example, people ask, Has it cured others? Have cases like mine been relieved by it? Is, it in harmony with the truths of modern science, and has it a record phave suspicion? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if I am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended 1 shall resort to it in full belief in its power to held me." On these lines

Then, during the next six months ending with April 8, 1901, the 4,000 men occupying the region northwards of the Sungari River. Thus, the evacuation will be complete in eighteen months. Nor even then will the evacuation be exactly all that it is repiesented to be. For, in propoftion as the Eastern Siberian troops are withdrawn, Russia will increase considerably the Man- churian Railway Gifards, who already have assumed the high-sounding name of "The Independent Corps of the Frontier Guard of the Amur Territory," and who are now an Army Corps of themselves, for they number about 30,000 men. According to the latest Russian plan of mobilisation, Buchau, Char bin, Chan-la-se-ta, and Liao-hang are fixed as

Then, in and about Port Arthur, about 10,000 men will be under the command of Admiral Alexieff, in the Kwan-tung territory. Thus, altogether, Russia will still bave quite a re spectable force at hand for emergencies. The

atrocious excesses committed by the Russian soldiery at Geok Teppe, when Russia set itself la work some twenty years ago to "civilise" the nomadic races I'ving on the northern borders of Persin, were said to be all in the cause of civilisation. The subsequent construc tion of the Trans-Caspian Railway, now known as the "Russian Central Asian Railway," re-brigade staff quarters of the Railway Guarda. calls the name of General Annenkoff. This. important strategic railway was equally the glory and the shame of the man who built it, in the face of marvellous difficulties; soon after its

completion flagrant discrepancies in the building and management of the line came to light, and Gen. Annenkoff had to retire to comparative obfcurity in St. Petersburg. The near future will reveal whether Gen. Grodyckoff's career is doomed to a similar extinction, in view of the fact that Russia's most outstanding Mini. ster, M. de Witte, left Russia on September 25 for a lengthened tour in Manchuria, What is the connection between General Grodyekoff's recall and the tour to be made by the Minister of Finance? Rumour says that the costly working of the Manchurian Railway is unprofitable, and quite as faulty as is the Siberian Railway. But the Russian engineers profiled by a false economy in building the Siberian Railway with rails of to light a make, and the Manchurian Railway has been huilt of the best material and with due care. Foreign engineers have praised the solid construction of the line throughout. Thus, apart from the inability of the railway to "pay its way," in fulfilment of M. de Witte's hopes, it is not altogether easy to explain M. de Witte's dis- satisfaction. Irregularities in the railway Recounts" at various places are mentioned.

five brigades of Eastern Siberian Guards, when withdrawn, will be massed at Khabarovsk and Vladivostock, close to the Russian frontier, and thus Russia, under the cloak of giving way to China, will have in the end a far stronger military position on the shores of the Pacific, and then Russian statecraft will deem that the time has come for further action in Mongolia and in Thibet. And such a forward movement is to be carried out at the cost of sacrificing General Grodyekoff-The Globe:
