At noon to-day the President gave out a
statement from the White House anouncing the acceptance of the appaint by Mr. Crane and referring to-him as oon of the Vleading business men "'of the country. Stress is also laid upon his knowledge of the Russian language, which, awing, to the interest of Russia in Manchurian affairs, will be valuable 10.bim.
Mr. Crane is first vice-president of the Crave company. President Taft regards him as one of the ablest business men in the country and declared today that he was delighted to be able to secure such a man for the Chinese mission, which he regards as one of the most important in the diplomatic service,
In this respect the case will establish a pre- cedent and is being watched by Chinese in all parts of the United States, as well as by Gov. erament authorities.

PAOLA CHICAGO OPINIONS,
- Desaile news from Washington, DC; that the presideof, had decided to appoint Mr. Crane Minister to China prompted statements of ap preciation" in: Chicago. Attorney Walter L Fisher, who is in touch with the situation, had this to say:
to the Government, by persons interested in keeping her hero, applied for a writ of babeas corpus in the United States District Court for her release on the ground that her marriage entitled her to remain with her husband."
To this Assistant Uailed "Stales AlfordeY Ben McKinley demurred on the ground that' the marriage was for the purpose of bullifying the order of deportation, and therefore was frauduleni.

"If Mr. Crane has consented to be United States Minister to China, President Taft and the entire County are to be congratulated most ceremony. beartily. From a telegram I have received from him I conclude that he has finally agreed to servo. 1 understand that great pressure bas been brought to bear on him since William Kent suggested his name to the President some weeks ago, Mr. Crane's qualifications for this post are extraordinary. Ever since his -early manhood he has been intensely interest- ed la Ania, its people and its institutions, and ho has a familiarity with them which is rare Indeed for an American. His interest in Russia has long been known, but fow even of bis friends have appreciated folly that bis interest was far more in the oriental phases of Russian Affairs than in the European pbas81.
"More than a quarter of a century age Mri Crane was one of the few Americans or Europeans who had penetrated into Cos+ tral Asia and the interest then aroused bas increased with his years. He is not only fami- liar with the social and political conditions of the Far East, but has a practical knowledge of the commercial conditions. These facts, coup- led with his bigh personal charactor and his sincere devotion to the public welfare, make him an ideal man for what is not only probably the most importent diplomatic position to be filled by President Tast but is also probably the most difficult to fill properly.
"Ooly, those who bave some knowledge of the personal and business sacrifices which Mr. Crane is prepared to make at the urgent soli. ċitation of the president can appreciate what this acceptance will involve. Once more Chi- cago has reason to be proud of the public spirit 'of her successfül men of affairs,”
