In the suit of the high com missioner are several Interesting per Bonages, among them Prince Tsal Fu and Chung Mun Yew. Commissioner Tang Shao Yi Is nt present director genera! of railways of the Chinese em pire, high commissioner of customs and a member of the grand council, the body which really governs the great nation known as the Chinese people. He was educated chiefly In the United States, having been sent to this coun try by his government in 1874 as a boy of twelve. He attended school In Hartford. Conn., nnd later studied at Columbia university, where he was in attendance when recalled by his gov ernment, no has served as nmbassa dortp Tibet, minister to England and mandarin of a Manchurian province.

I'nlon betwocn Christian denomina tions has not usually been attended with a great deal of success except In the foreign mission fields. There un ion is more easily accomplished be cause denominational differences, so far as the native churches are con cerned, are neither old nor deep. In China, Japan, India and Korea prac tical unions have been accomplished between churches of similar funda mental faiths. In the establishment of educational nnd other Institutions on the foreign fields many denominations have jolued, ono university in China, for example, being supported by Ilap tlst, Methodist, Congregational, Quak er and Anglican missions. Most of the movements which begin with organic union of denominations as their object end lu the establish ment of federations, of which the Fed eral council is the largest In tho world. Federation organizations are advisory only, whereas n lody result ing from organic union would have legislative functions. In Canada n union between Presby terians, Methodists and Congregation-, ullsts seemed likely for a time to bo, effected, but leaders now believe that federation alone can be accomplished. In this Canadian Baptists and Episco palians will probably join. A similar movement In Australia promises a sim ilar result.

National Art Federation. Tentative plans are being made to form in this city a national art fed eration to Include within its fold about 300 societies composed of painters, sculptors, architects, artisans and oth ers having artistic alms who have been invited to send delegates to the proposed convention. The exact date i coating of cement has not yet been fixed, but it Is be lieved the convention will be called sonic time in January. During the convention there will be on exhibition in the Corcoran Gallery of Art a very complete collection of the works of Augustus St. Gandens and a national exhibition of American paintings. For a National University. That Washington, as the seat of the federal government, also should be the seat of a great national university, at which all the states should be rep resented on an advisory council, was advocated here at the closing session of the thirteenth annual meeting of the National Association of State Uni versities. President Edward J. James of the University df Illinois, as spokesman for a bill now pending in congress to provide for such a university, won over many of his fellow college presi dents In support of the movement. The purpose of the proposed university is to provide for the higher instruction aud training of men and women for posts of Importance and responsibility In the public service of the federal government or of states and for such professions as may require a higher training. The bill provides for the ap propriation of $500,000 with which to establish the initial equl;"ne!it of the university. Boxed With the President. J. J. Parker, an amateur athlete of St. Paul, who boxed with itoosevelt on a ranch twenty-seven years ago, called on the president a few days ago. Mr. Parker brought a letter from Frank U. Kellogg, the antitrust law yer, but It was unnecessary, for the president recognized his caller as soon as he espied him "as the man with whom he boxed several times on a western ranch. "I called merely to pay respects and was cordially received," said Mr. Par ker. "I don't want a thing in the world In politics, but the president gave me a picture of each of the three younger children, and I prize thorn more than any otlice." Dcgs Go Unmuzzled.
