I nlted «tatc< Consul Tells How the >y*ten» W nrki In Prnssla. WASHINGTON*. Aug 24.-Consul agl-an. at Chemniti, Germany. has sent to the state department a report on Prus sian railroads. "State ownership of railroads," he says, "plays an important part in Prussia's finan-est. Earning enormous sums, s-r\ing commerce and manufactures in times of peace and all strategic purposes In times of war. they have more than justified the arguments that urged the government to own them and the liberal policies that have p>»t them down and push.-d them into all parts of the em pire." The receipts for M 96-97 have gone b yord the estimate of the budget of 1.020.- 552 *»>) marks ar.d the estimate for 1537-SS is 1.150.210,334 marks, while the total in come of the kingdom is only slightly more than two billion marks. After giv ing statistics in some detail, the consul continues: "No other branch of public property pays so surely and so *eli. The cer tainty of the receipts of this size, the ease with which they are obtained, their cash character, render them the most u»-»'ul of all the moneys turned into the public treasury. Ho* successfully they are run. in other respect* whether bet ter than they wouki have be* n under private ownership, it is hard to say. The state has had its hands on the roads from the very beginning Seeing how successfully they would aid armies and also how necessary they would be to the development of the empire, Prussia floating In the water. The bowed figure and hooded head of the woman who bends over the steaming kettle, the recumbent form of the brave as he stretches his bare toes in the warm sand, the toddling pappoose who turns his back and waddles away to play with the sea shells, all these form a part of the vanishing life of the Pacific Northwest that ought to be pre served In sot.g or story' or sketch, and the Post-Intelligencer takes pleasure in adding It to the store of marine and agricultural pictures which It has accumulated since Its art department was established. did not hesitate to take the railroads over to the state. Their quasi puhlic char acter has helped the people to under stand that they should be controlled at least, if not owned, by the state. The tendency all over the empire is toward state arid city ownership of all kinds of facilities, as well as telegraphs, tele phones and other means of communica j tlon."

C., whrre tfcey had been to meet the members of the sp :al embassy sent by the emperor of China to attend the celebration of the queen's julilee in Lon don. The two principal members of the embassy, Chang Yun Fung ar.d Yung Wing. were old friends of the two notables who arrived here last night. Chang Yen Tong and King Owyang. the former of whom is the newly appointed consul gen eral in San Fra;. -co, anu the latter has been vice c0n5.1l in that city for twelve years pa t and has served under many suc cessive consuls general. The chief ambas sador, Chang Yun Fung, was Chinese min ister at Washington in ISSS. when the Chi nese riots on this Coast took place, and K.r.g Owyang was then, as now, vice con- sui in San Francisco and had charge of all the correspondence and investigations in connection with the matter. V. hen the ■ onsul general and vice con sul arrived they were met by Quong Tuck, the tea merchant of Washington stre-'t. and aft»r dinner they w-->re driven by him about the city. There were no gatherings ( of Ch.nese. no firecrackers shot oft and there was no great banquet or other cele ; bration. The two officials came in quietly and will leave as quietly this morning. During the evening they were the guests of Wuong Tuck, and a few of the principal merchants called upon and paid their re spects to the representatives of the Chinese government. King Owyang. the vice consul, was one of the first Chinese students to come to this country for an education. He ent.-red at Yale college In 1<72. After becoming proficient in the English language, which he reads and speaks a;* fluently as a na tive, he graduated with honors in ISBI. In ISSS he was appointed vice consul at Sin I ranclsco, and although many efforts have been made by some of the Tones to ha\e him removed, he ha-s retained his po sition. He is a relative of the new consul general and is the mouthpiece of the con sulate. This was the first visit either of the gentlemen had pair! to Puget sound, though King Owyang was well acquainted with the conditions here. In conversation with a Post-Intelligencer representative last night. Mr. King said ..hat no official business had been or would be transacted on their trip, as they had been simply on a visit of respe-t to their old friends. He said there was a notable ; change in the ideas of the people of this 1 f oast with regard to Chinese immigration. ■ and especially in California. This was j largely due to the influx of Japanese, who worked for lower wages than the Chinese, but were by no means so . fflcient. Ine change in California was largely due to the fat* that the mining Interests had been supplemented, if not supplanted, bv the fruit industry, and this demanded the very kind of labor which the Chinese can best supply. "I am speaking as 1 Chinese, you understand," he added, "and while every one speaks well of his own people natural ly. I have had exceptionally good oppor tunities to learn of the trend of public opinion during my long stay in this coun try." HOP i'lt Kl\t. \lt<»l 1 lo liEUIJt.
