Behind the announcement of the death of Mrs. Lucy Phelps Morgan. which occurred yesterday morning at the home of her sister. Mrs. Benjamin Knower. at No. 1 East 77th-st. is the story of a losing struggle against great odds. On Friday. twenty-four hours before Mrs. Morgans death, an involuntary petition m bankruptcy -was filed airainst her with the clerk of the United State* District Court. The total debts. It -was alleged, amounted to $33,009. Mrs. Morgan, who -was the widow of Charles Las- He Morgan and the daughter of the late Senator John Allen, of Connecticut, had for many years conducted a private school la West SGth-nt.. known as Mrs. Leslie Morgan's School. But sh« became stricken with an incurable disease »me time asro and could no longer give personal attention to th« affairs of the school. Then her financial difficulties began. On January 15 the school was closed by advice of Mrs. Morgan's attorney, but ten of the teachers agreed to continue It without pay until February 1. as several of the pupils had paid up to that date. Th-y then -organized the Morgan School Association and will continue the school which Mrs. Morgan established. Som» of the creditors who filed the involuntary petition In bankruptcy charged a transfer of assets and preferential payment.". Th" teachers at the Morgan School said yesterday that the arrange- ment for their control of th« school had been made before any action was taken by th« creditors. They accuse Miss Eva R. Murphy, a former teacher, who refused to Join the others, of causing the bank- ruptcy proceedings against Mrs. Morgan. Mis» Murphy's name appears in th» schedule of creditors with a claim of $265 for ITfc,— . F. B. Hamblin was appointed receiver. Mrs. Morgan was fifty-eight years old. The fu- neral services will be held at her slster> home to- morrow morning. The burial will be at Saybrook. Conn.. Mrs. Morgan's birthplace. » WILLIAM M'PHERSON KILLED. Horn*. N. Y.

The third annual dinner of th» Illinois Society of New- York was held last night at the Waldorf In honor of Lyman J. Gag*. ex-Secretary of the Treas- ury. William B. Ridgely. Controller of the Currency, paid a high tribute to Mr. Gage. He declared th« principles of elasticity of banknote currency w^re- laid down more clearly by Mr. Gaga than by any one rise. Outlining the«» principles he said, in pert: If the jtWjwaMla banker to take unlimited de- posit*, or sell deposit credits without limit, there is .^.rl^f 0 ?l 1 r ln allow ' n « him to sell a limited •mount of banknote credits.

In Introducing Mr. Gage Mr. Stone said It hail b*e tl his privilege to know Mr. Gag« for a lone time. "There was never a commercial enterprise that he did not help," he Bald. "There was never a public enterprise in CKlcatio that he did not share In To-night he honors us; we do not honor him. and I ask you to drink a toast to th« moat distin- guished Illinol3ian living." Mr. Gagw rose amid great applause. H<» said. among other things: In 1«79 the people had been living in a kind of a fool s financial paradise, but by the gold reserve capital found fresh courage, and capital came from abroad to take advantage of the opportunities of the mighty West. Things got along pretty well after that, and we had several years of uninter- rupted prosperity. Th« city grew. It had bawl raised eight feet in the air. A letter from President Roosevelt was read. It said in part: I wish It were possible for me to !•« present at the dinner in honor of Mr. Gage. It was m] good fortune to have Mr. Gage associated with me aa a member of my Cabinet, and I grew not only to value his abilities as a public servant, but to prize those personal qualities which procured him th: affectionate regard not only of his own family eir- c]». but of all his Intimate friends, including my lamented predecessor. President McKlnl»y Albert .7. Hopkins and General FreJerlek T>. Grant also spoke. The menu follows: mejar. Hutfres do Cap* <>4 T*ota<« a la VArgenT«uli Ra •!». O!lv»». Celert. An.»r.l—> f -ii"«.

In the course of an address delivered before the midwinter convocation of Adelphl College, Froolc- lyn. on Friday afternoon. Dr. "William I* Felter. principal of the Girls High School, declared that there Is a possibility of higher education for women becoming a fad. and that If It were not for the Immigrant population America would be in the same position France find* herself in to-day—ln a steady decadence, of birth rate*. "It would be too sweeping en assertion." Dr. Felter said, "to state that women colleges are In- stitutions for the promotion of celibacy, and yet an examination of the percentage of marriages among college bred women would lend color to the state- ment. Dr. John Dewey found that 23 per cent of the graduates of women's colleges marry, 21 per cent go Into th» professions; 28 per cent of co- education girls marry, and 13 per cent go into the Pi>r>f<-Mlons. He makes 26 per cent of thn graduates of twelve American college* marry at an average age of twenty-seven years. The marriages took Place six years after graduation. He found 74 per cent single. "Considering next the results of the higher edu- cation upon motherhood, the case appears even worse yet for educated women. Birth rates are the Indication of national growth or decay; only the constant immigration of foreigners prevents us from occupying the position In which France find* herself at thin time—that of facing the problem of a steady decadence of birth rates. In the New Bngland family, probably the best type of Ameri- can civilisation, where for two centuries the homes '*"*"'.. , almost PWjVct models, the birth rate has steadily declined for half a century at a very rapid rate until now it is actually lower than that of \u25a0 any European nation. France Itself not except«»d." The party wan next taken to the subway station at HSth-Bt.. •where th* special car Mlneola, In charge of Superintendent A. L. Merritt. was pro- vMeiJ to take them to Worth-st.. from which they reached the Merchants' Club. The alternation of the American and Chte«M flags as .1 decoration of th* five lefthand balcony- boxes at the Hippodrome, last night denoted the occupancy of the boxes by the Imperial Chinese Commissioners. Minister < 'hentung Liang Ch^ne accompanied the party, and withdrew In time tv get the midnight train for Washington.

Mis* Rrsslo Hz- the elster of one of the Chinese secretaries, was .-.•i-.-- i with Lhe military contingent. The Invitation to visit th<» »tac» betwren the acts was declined on the advice of the Minister, who evidently feared that the. maids \u25a0\u25a0r the ballet might discount Imperial dignity by un- neenily frivolity.

The programme of the day for the Chines* Com- missioners began with a trip from the elevated station at 6th-av«. and 23<i-st. High Commission- ers Tal Hung Cht and Juan Fang beaded a delega- tion of a dozen that boarded a. special oar la a regular train, at 10:30 a. m.. that had been pro- vided by General Manager Hedley, for a trip to 110th-st.. -where carriages conveyed the party to Columbia University. President Butler and Pro- fessor Hlrth, head of the department of Chines* language, were waiting In th« trustees' room of the university to receive them. Ex-Secretary John W. Foster and ex-Mayor Seth Lot were also with President Butler when the delegation arrived. After an Informal greeting and th* Introduction of the Chinese students of Columbia to the visitors by Profe*aor Illrth, an Inspection of the institution began. The Inspection Included the Oriental de- partment, the library, 'the two gymnasiums. Teachers College and the Horace Mann annex, the various features and the completeness of th« two latter departments being of unusual Interest to the Oriental*. Physical training-. Instruction of women and the training of teachers were the matters in which the visitors manifested the deepest Interest, and they were accordingly taken to Barnard College, where they were received by Miss Laura D. Gill, dean of the college. After being shown through the vari- ous departments of the college, tea was served in the trustees" room. John Foord. [secretary of th» association, said: We are big enough and string enough to <5o Jus- tice to the Chinese people. Our treatment of the CbineM ha* been infamous, and we must make It clear that the people of the country demand simple national Justice. Mr. Foord called attention to the provisions of the Foster bill, which would define the excluded class of Chinese— coolies— rather than the ex- empt class, as now, and have the examination «<* to fitness for admission to the- country at the port of embarkation, rather than upon arrival In this country. Representative Foster then said: China Is no lonper a distant nation, and we are brlnßlnp It nearer by building the Isthmian canal. When we yet the preliminary work done and get it done right, the dirt will fly. and the completed waterway wlu bring China to the door of New- York. The transcendant achievement of the nine- teenth century was the growth and development of the United States, and the growth and development of China, will similarly signalize the twentieth century. "We must do Justice to th«* business men ar.d students of China. Millions of money do not oount against an opportunity to brini; the young men from China to fill them with th« history and traditions of this country and eend them back to leaven the empire. Chentung L.lang-Ch«?ns. the Chinese Minister, acknowledged the value of the -work of the asso- ciation In promoting friendly relations between 1 'Mr.a and the United States. He said there were rio radical differences in the aims and ends sought by China and America, and that they could work amicably together. "Mutual helpfulness," said he, "Ib th» keynote of the situation. Of course, commercial conditions are different. The United Btatea can furnish the cotton and the flour and China can furnish the tea and the silk. The freest commercial Intercourse 111 bring untold benefits to the peoples on both sides of the Pacific." The Minister thanked Congressman Foster, who Fat next to him. for his bill now pending In the House at Washington, intended to obtain a square deal for the Chinese, and said the provisions of the bill would go far toward eliminating the present friction, and that the settlement of the question would bring the countries Into closer and more cordial relations. Pleased with, Columbia University At Theatre Last Night Members of the Imperial Chinese Commission were the guests or honor at a fcreakfast given by the American Asiatic Association at the Merchants* Club yesterday. Seated at twenty-four tables wer* a hundred business men, members of the associa- tion. President Silas D. Webb occupied a place at the centre of the guest table. On his right were Tal Hung Chi. the High Commissioner*? secretary. Woo Kuan* Klen, Kir Chentung Liang-Chens, the Chinese Minister; Congressman David J. Foster, of Vermont; Charles Denby. chief clerk in the State Department at Washington, Consul General Shah Hnd Mr. Lowell Lincoln. On the left of the Presi- dent were Tuan Fang: his secretary, Sao-K Alfred Sue; Professor J. W. Jenks, of Cornell; Ten* Pang Shu, James B. Reynolds, Judga K. H. Gary and General Stewart I*. Woodford. The breakfast, which was served upon the return of th« Chinese contingent from a visit to Columbia University, began at 1 p. m. and continued until Z:?,0. Pre^id-nt Webb proposed a toast to the President of the United States. It was drunk standing, after •which .a similar courtesy was observed In honor of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of China. President Webb then said in part: The chief purpose of this association baa been to promote relations of closer friendship between China, and the United States. It has been the con- stant endeavor of this association to impress on our government and people that the unimpaired Integrity of the Chinese Empire concerned no na- tion In the world more than it did the great Ameri- can Republic. As a necessary sequence to this. It has been part of the work of this association to demand that our treatment of your fellow- coun- trymen coming here as visitors or remaining here as residents should be In strict accord with treaty obllgations contracted between two great and friendly powers. Mr. Webb then said: "1propose the toast of "Wel- come and success to the lmepiral Chinese Commis- sion.* " which wan drunk standing. High Commissioner Tai Hung Chi, who is vice- president of the Imperial Chinese Board of Revenue at Peking, and who is the head of the commission, read his response from a manuscript in Chinese characters in his native tongue, but with impres- sive earnestness. His address was greeted with prolonged applause, after which the commissioner's secretary. Mr. Woo, who Is a graduate of an Eng- lish university, gave an eloquent Interpretation of the sentiments expressed by his chW. The High Commissioner said: We thank you for your hospitality. We are/ glad to know you entertain kindly feelings for our peo- ple, and we reciprocate them. Our mission is non- political, but every nation has Its problems to solve, and we have ours; the study of other national in- fctitutions than our own should help us. We have observed that national greetings are sometimes diplomatic, but the welcome of America is generous and spontaneous. We ere glad that our able minister, Chentung Liang-Cheng whos* duty it is to look after our interests in this coun- try, has the support of the American Asiatic Asso- ciation. Xothlng Is more noble than to remove the cause* of friction between two nations. We desire us much as you to solve the questions of difference that exists. Let us sec more of each other, that v- may know sacb other better. However much people may differ in forms. in customs and lan- guage, they have the same passions, the came vir- tues and the same faults— the same likes and dis- likes. Let us be courageous in speaking what we believe, and in doing what right. Let us strive not to do the most harm, but the moat that will help. PRAISE WELCOME HERE. ENVOYS A. A. A. GUESTS.

In Mr. Tvins's campaign, he did not effect much until he discovered that Instead of mi independent candidate he was n strong partisan. , We- are faring great questions to-day.

Mr. Bra : : took off his coat, pulled up his shirt sleeves \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0i went at th» witness savagely, where- upon Mr. Hughes" produced a "letter from grandfather." "It is my most treasured posses- sion," he declared in a voice tilled with tears. "Mr. Hughes" explained why he had not subpoenaed Cornelius N.

After the prepared ekits, the Rev. Dr. M J. T.avelle, vicar general, was called to answer the question as to whether there Is a resurrection for the political dead. He replied that If ha were a dead political boss h«> would give tho people what they wanted. "I would pass a local option bill," he said; "a bill that would take away th«» root of all graft and take away temptation. So long as we have a law on our statute books that an executive cannot enforce without destroying himpelf we will have graft.' 1 UK3O7. To th« left nits the ex-Governor. B. B. (Mali.

Mrs. Morgan, Private School Principal. DiesJust AfterBankruptcy Petition.

Behind the announcement of the death of Mrs.Lucy Phelps Morgan. which occurred yesterdaymorning at the home of her sister. Mrs. BenjaminKnower. at No. 1 East 77th-st. is the story of alosing struggle against great odds. On Friday.twenty-four hours before Mrs. Morgans death, aninvoluntary petition m bankruptcy -was filed airainsther with the clerk of the United State* DistrictCourt. The total debts. It -was alleged, amountedto $33,009.

Mrs. Morgan, who -was the widow of Charles Las-He Morgan and the daughter of the late SenatorJohn Allen, of Connecticut, had for many years

conducted a private school la West SGth-nt.. knownas Mrs. Leslie Morgan's School. But sh« becamestricken with an incurable disease »me time asroand could no longer give personal attention to th«affairs of the school. Then her financial difficultiesbegan. On January 15 the school was closed byadvice of Mrs. Morgan's attorney, but ten of theteachers agreed to continue It without pay untilFebruary 1. as several of the pupils had paid up

to that date. Th-y then -organized the Morgan

School Association and will continue the schoolwhich Mrs. Morgan established.

Som» of the creditors who filed the involuntary

petition In bankruptcy charged a transfer of assetsand preferential payment.". Th" teachers at theMorgan School said yesterday that the arrange-ment for their control of th« school had been madebefore any action was taken by th« creditors. Theyaccuse Miss Eva R. Murphy,a former teacher, whorefused to Join the others, of causing the bank-ruptcy proceedings against Mrs. Morgan. Mis»Murphy's name appears in th» schedule of creditorswith a claim of $265 for

—ITfc,—. F. B. Hamblin

was appointed receiver.Mrs. Morgan was fifty-eight years old. The fu-

neral services willbe held at her slster> home to-morrow morning. The burial willbe at Saybrook.Conn.. Mrs. Morgan's birthplace.

ControllerRidgely Praises His Policy.

The third annual dinner of th» Illinois Society ofNew-York was held last night at the Waldorf Inhonor of Lyman J. Gag*. ex-Secretary of the Treas-ury.

William B. Ridgely. Controller of the Currency,paid a high tribute to Mr. Gage. He declared th«principles of elasticity of banknote currency w^re-laid down more clearly by Mr. Gaga than by anyone rise. Outlining the«» principles he said, inpert:

Ifthe jtWjwaMla banker to take unlimited de-posit*, or sell deposit credits without limit, there is.^.rl^f0 ?l 1r ln allow

b*etl his privilege to know Mr. Gag« for a lonetime. "There was never a commercial enterprisethat he did not help," he Bald. "There was nevera public enterprise in CKlcatio that he did not shareIn To-night he honors us; we do not honor him.and Iask you to drink a toast to th« moat distin-guished Illinol3ian living."

Mr. Gagw rose amid great applause. H<» said.among other things:

In 1«79 the people had been livingin a kind of afool s financial paradise, but by the gold reservecapital found fresh courage, and capital came fromabroad to take advantage of the opportunities ofthe mighty West. Things got along pretty wellafter that, and we had several years of uninter-rupted prosperity. Th« city grew. It had bawlraised eight feet in the air.

A letter from President Roosevelt was read. Itsaid in part:

Iwish It were possible for me to !•« present atthe dinner in honor of Mr. Gage. It was m] goodfortune to have Mr. Gage associated with me aa amember of my Cabinet, and Igrew not only tovalue his abilities as a public servant, but to prizethose personal qualities which procured him th:affectionate regard not only of his own family eir-c]». but of all his Intimate friends, including mylamented predecessor.

COLUMBIA SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS

.BIRTH RATE DIMINISHING.

School Principal Blames the Higher Educa-tion of Women.

In the course of an address delivered before themidwinter convocation of Adelphl College, Froolc-lyn. on Friday afternoon. Dr. "William I*Felter.principal of the Girls High School, declared thatthere Is a possibility ofhigher education for womenbecoming a fad. and that IfIt were not for theImmigrant population America would be in thesame position France find* herself in to-day— ln asteady decadence, of birth rate*.

"It would be too sweeping en assertion." Dr.Felter said, "to state that women colleges are In-stitutions for the promotion of celibacy, and yet anexamination of the percentage of marriages amongcollege bred women would lend color to the state-ment. Dr. John Dewey found that 23 per cent ofthe graduates of women's colleges marry, 21 percent go Into th» professions; 28 per cent of co-education girls marry, and 13 per cent go into thePi>r>f<-Mlons. He makes 26 per cent of thn graduatesof twelve American college* marry at an averageage of twenty-seven years. The marriages tookPlace six years after graduation. He found 74 percent single.

"Considering next the results of the higher edu-cation upon motherhood, the case appears evenworse yet for educated women. Birth rates are theIndication of national growth or decay; only theconstant immigration of foreigners prevents usfrom occupying the position In which France find*herself at thin time—that of facing the problem ofa steady decadence of birth rates. In the NewBngland family, probably the best type of Ameri-can civilisation, where for two centuries the homes'*"*"'..,almost PWjVct models, the birth rate hassteadily declined for half a century at a very rapidrate until now it is actually lower than that of

\u25a0 any European nation. France Itself not except«»d."

The party wan next taken to the subway stationat HSth-Bt.. •where th* special car Mlneola, Incharge of Superintendent A. L. Merritt. was pro-vMeiJ to take them to Worth-st.. from which theyreached the Merchants' Club.

The alternation of the American and Chte«Mflags as .1 decoration of th* five lefthand balcony-boxes at the Hippodrome, last night denoted theoccupancy of the boxes by the Imperial ChineseCommissioners. Minister < 'hentung Liang Ch^neaccompanied the party, and withdrew In time tvget the midnight train for Washington. On theopposite side of th« Mr playhouse one box Mloccupied by General Yao and the other militaryattache 1

of tho conimlp^ion. Mis* Rrsslo Hz- theelster of one of the Chinese secretaries, was .-.•i-.-- iwith Lhe military contingent.

The Invitation to visit th<» »tac» betwrenthe acts was declined on the advice of theMinister, who evidently feared that the. maids \u25a0\u25a0rthe ballet might discount Imperial dignity by un-neenily frivolity. Tlie series of brilliant Fjierta leapresentert in "A Society Circua'1 mad« a completeconquest of IIn- st"iclsni usually attributed to thwConfucians. They guve unmlGtakable signs of ap-proval, and their enjoyment was cumulative. Itreached Its climax when the symphony In lightanilcolor effects >.( the ball«t "Song- of the Flower*"and the beauties of the Court of the Golden Foun-tain, wore unfolded. The American Tobacco Com-pany was the host of tha occasion.

To-day the commlsplonerH will learn the FifthAvenue He). I in the morning;, and In automobileswill visit Graat's Tomb and the Cathedral of s*tJohn the Divine. Later they will go to St. Pat-rick's < 'ailiMrsl. the Metropolitan Muslim of Artand the Museum of Natural History In the. eveu-Inj,- a private entertainment willbe* given for them»i thy Fifth Avenue Xiot«L

The visitors had then their first view of Grant'stomb from the university, and preatlv enjoyed theglimpses afforded them from Barnard of the Hud-son and the Palisades.

The programme of the day for the Chines* Com-missioners began with a trip from the elevatedstation at 6th-av«. and 23<i-st. High Commission-ers Tal Hung Cht and Juan Fang beaded a delega-

tion of a dozen that boarded a. special oar la aregular train, at 10:30 a. m.. that had been pro-vided by General Manager Hedley, for a trip to

110th-st.. -where carriages conveyed the party to

Columbia University. President Butler and Pro-fessor Hlrth, head of the department of Chines*language, were waiting In th« trustees' room of theuniversity to receive them. Ex-Secretary John W.Foster and ex-Mayor Seth Lot were also withPresident Butler when the delegation arrived. Afteran Informal greeting and th* Introduction of theChinese students of Columbia to the visitors byProfe*aor Illrth, an Inspection of the institutionbegan. The Inspection Included the Oriental de-partment, the library, 'the two gymnasiums.Teachers College and the Horace Mann annex, thevarious features and the completeness of th« twolatter departments being of unusual Interest to theOriental*.

Physical training-. Instruction of women and thetraining of teachers were the matters in which thevisitors manifested the deepest Interest, and theywere accordingly taken to Barnard College, wherethey were received by Miss Laura D. Gill, deanof the college. After being shown through the vari-ous departments of the college, tea was served inthe trustees" room.

John Foord. [secretary of th» association, said:We are bigenough and string enough to <5o Jus-

tice to the Chinese people. Our treatment of theCbineM ha* been infamous, and we must make Itclear that the people of the country demand simplenational Justice.

Mr. Foord called attention to the provisions ofthe Foster bill, which would define the excludedclass of Chinese— coolies— rather than the ex-empt class, as now, and have the examination «<*

to fitness for admission to the- country at the port

of embarkation, rather than upon arrival In thiscountry.

Representative Foster then said:China Is no lonper a distant nation, and we are

brlnßlnp It nearer by building the Isthmian canal.When we yet the preliminary work done and getit done right, the dirt will fly. and the completedwaterway wlu bring China to the door of New-York. The transcendant achievement of the nine-teenth century was the growth and development ofthe United States, and the growth and developmentof China, will similarly signalize the twentiethcentury. "We must do Justice to th«* business menar.d students of China. Millions of money do notoount against an opportunity to brini; the youngmen from China to fill them with th« history andtraditions of this country and eend them back to

leaven the empire.

Chentung L.lang-Ch«?ns. the Chinese Minister,acknowledged the value of the -work of the asso-ciation In promoting friendly relations between1'Mr.a and the United States. He said there wererio radical differences in the aims and ends soughtby China and America, and that they could work

amicably together. "Mutual helpfulness," saidhe, "Ib th» keynote of the situation. Of course,commercial conditions are different. The UnitedBtatea can furnish the cotton and the flour andChina can furnish the tea and the silk. The freestcommercial Intercourse 111 bring untold benefitsto the peoples on both sides of the Pacific."

The Minister thanked Congressman Foster, whoFat next to him. for his bill now pending In theHouse at Washington, intended to obtain a squaredeal for the Chinese, and said the provisions of thebill would go far toward eliminating the presentfriction, and that the settlement of the question

would bring the countries Into closer and morecordial relations.

Pleased with,Columbia University—

At Theatre Last NightMembers of the Imperial Chinese Commissionwere the guests or honor at a fcreakfast given by

the American Asiatic Association at the Merchants*Club yesterday. Seated at twenty-four tables wer*a hundred business men, members of the associa-tion.

President Silas D. Webb occupied a place at thecentre of the guest table. On his right were TalHung Chi. the High Commissioner*? secretary.

Woo Kuan* Klen, Kir Chentung Liang-Chens, theChinese Minister; Congressman David J. Foster, ofVermont; Charles Denby. chief clerk in the StateDepartment at Washington, Consul General ShahHnd Mr.Lowell Lincoln. On the left of the Presi-dent were Tuan Fang: his secretary, Sao-K AlfredSue; Professor J. W. Jenks, of Cornell; Ten* PangShu, James B. Reynolds, Judga K. H. Gary andGeneral Stewart I*.Woodford.

The breakfast, which was served upon the returnof th« Chinese contingent from a visit to ColumbiaUniversity, began at 1 p. m. and continued untilZ:?,0.

Pre^id-nt Webb proposed a toast to the Presidentof the United States. It was drunk standing, after•which .a similar courtesy was observed Inhonor ofthe Emperor and the Empress Dowager of China.

President Webb then said in part:

The chief purpose of this association baa been topromote relations of closer friendship betweenChina, and the United States. It has been the con-stant endeavor of this association to impress onour government and people that the unimpairedIntegrity of the Chinese Empire concerned no na-tion In the world more than it did the great Ameri-can Republic. As a necessary sequence to this. Ithas been part of the work of this association todemand that our treatment of your fellow- coun-trymen coming here as visitors or remaining hereas residents should be Instrict accord with treatyobllgations contracted between two great andfriendly powers.

Mr. Webb then said: "1propose the toast of "Wel-come and success to the lmepiral Chinese Commis-sion.*

"which wan drunk standing.

High Commissioner Tai Hung Chi, who is vice-president of the Imperial Chinese Board of Revenueat Peking, and who is the head of the commission,read his response from a manuscript in Chinesecharacters in his native tongue, but with impres-sive earnestness. His address was greeted withprolonged applause, after which the commissioner'ssecretary. Mr. Woo, who Is a graduate of an Eng-lish university, gave an eloquent Interpretation ofthe sentiments expressed by his chW.

The High Commissioner said:We thank you for your hospitality. We are/ glad

to know you entertain kindly feelings for our peo-ple, and we reciprocate them. Our mission is non-political, but every nation has Its problems to solve,and we have ours; the study of other national in-fctitutions than our own should help us.

We have observed that national greetings aresometimes diplomatic, but the welcome of Americais generous and spontaneous. We ere glad thatour able minister, Chentung Liang-Cheng whos*duty it is to look after our interests in this coun-try, has the support of the American Asiatic Asso-ciation.

Xothlng Is more noble than to remove the cause*of friction between two nations. We desire usmuch as you to solve the questions of differencethat exists. Let us sec more of each other, thatv- may know sacb other better. However muchpeople may differ in forms. in customs and lan-guage, they have the same passions, the came vir-tues and the same faults— the same likes and dis-likes. Let us be courageous in speaking what webelieve, and in doing what i« right. Let us strivenot to do the most harm, but the moat that willhelp.

A member of the Corner, made up to repre-sent Charles F. Hughes, took the witness standand was examined by William A. Brady, aacounsel for tho Amen Corner. The witness sol-emnly swore, amid roars of laughter, that he.was able to distinguish the truth after his expe-rience as counsel for the Armstrong committee.Mr. Bra :: took off his coat, pulled up his shirtsleeves \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0i went at th» witness savagely, where-upon Mr. Hughes" produced a "letter fromgrandfather." "Itis my most treasured posses-sion," he declared in a voice tilled with tears."Mr. Hughes" explained why he had notsubpoenaed Cornelius N. Bliss to tell what haknew about the contributions made by the in-surance companies to the Republican nationalcampaign fund of ItH^ by saying tho committeehad decided that "'where ignorance was bliss itwould be folly to learn too much."

After the prepared ekits, the Rev. Dr. M J.T.avelle, vicar general, was called to answer thequestion as to whether there Is a resurrectionfor the political dead. He replied that If hawere a dead political boss h«> would give thopeople what they wanted. "I would pass alocal option bill,"he said; "a bill that would takeaway th«» root of all graft and take awaytemptation. So long as we have a law on ourstatute books that an executive cannot enforcewithout destroying himpelf we willhave graft.'1
