Appeal From Chinese Consul General
on the Oppenlngs for Capital In
China.
8AN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-Ao Tow
the local Chinese consul general ha
just Issued a printed appeal to Amerl-
can capitalists Imploring them to or-
ganlie a gigantic corporation to take
advantage of the splendid commercial
advantages offered In China, The doc
ument, which HoTow now assert wa
not Isxued by him In an official char
acter, haa created considerate com
ment In diplomatic circle. In fact,
many experienced diplomats go o
far to criticise the Chinese consul for
uttering In his appeal what they
term anti-European sentiments. The
consul openly refers them to the
friendly feelings his people hold for
the United States and Intimates that
the government he represents has lit
tle love for the European powers.

ant Changes at Next Congress.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19. A special to
the Chronicle from Topeka, Hans.,
says:
United States Senator Harrl will in
troduce three amendments to the fed

mitted to a vote of the people. The

Instead of four as at present and that
he shall be disqualified for re-election.
The second ! designed to make the
term of congressmen four years.
Third will provide for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the oeiple, Senator Harris believes
there nre too many elections now and
he want to reduce the number.
He says that a congressman no more
than gets acquainted with the streets
that lead to the capltol until he has
to come home and fix up his fences for
re-election.
