Dr. Wilder said he regrelied to learn in Wash. ingion that the proposal to construct credita- ble consulates in China is not likely to come to anything at present. It will be remembered that leading Americans of Shanghai shaped up a plan for a $500,000 (gold) building in which to house the official activities of the United States at this port. On this point Dr. Wilder anid: "The need and justification for a suita- bin court and coosviar home in this leading, Chinese port is as great as ever; the cause is a good one and will be pressed until the building secured. While, there is no indication of uch an appropriation from this Congress, yet it is true in such matters that to those who ask it shall be given, and the Americans of Chion will not be weary of asking.uitable Hongkong Football Club, Rugby section, consular home in Shanghai is a matter of time.
