Washington, April 21.-The Chinese minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang. is about to make a move of far-reaching importance to the affirs of China and one which cannot, it is believed, but engage the favorable attention of all the foreign powers interested in the affairs of the empire. He is pre paring a memorial to the Chinese government, based upon his initi mato acquaintance with the af fairs of the western world, andi pointing out wherein there is the opportunity for China to ad'opt an enlightened and progressive policy which will bring it into hariony with the sisterhood of nations, and at the same time will relieve it from the present per plexities which are crowding Upol it at all hands. The memorial is a comprehensive document, cov ering twenty heads, dealing with adlministrative, economical and financial questions. The docu ment purposely avoids radical and Qxtreme reforms which have interfered with previous efforts to bring about a change in the ex isting order of affairs. M r. Wu has sought to find a middle ground of conserevatism and one acceptable to Ciiina and the world at lrge. Minister Wu is acting entirely upon his own initiative and re sponsibility without any reference to his status as minister to Wash ington or any suggestion from officials here. While he has had the matter in contemplation for some time, yet there has been no occasion or opportunity for giving expression to his plans. Now, however, this opportunity has presented itself in the form of a recent imperial edict inviting the high officials of China at home and abroad-viceroys, governors, and ministers abroad-to present to the government every facility at their comnmand to aid in over cominln the present disastrous coniition of affairs. Acting upon this eliet edict Mr. Wu has pre pared his comprehensive memorial to tho government. In stating the needs anJ advan tage of conservative rcformn the mimnister's memori:, points to the lesson Japan has give to the world. Up to a few years ago ,were almost identical. / But by the gradual adoption of modern methods of procedure Japan has brought herself into lose communication with the est of the world and now occu >isan enviable position along with the other .great powers. Minister Wu holds that there is no thing lacking in the resources of China, or in the character of her people to keep her from se mring the same advantages which have come to Japan. Thme memorial specifies along wlhat lives changes can be ma3e ith advantage. As stafed, these over administrative, economic man financial conditons. One of he most important subjects re ently under consideration by the owers at Pekin has been that elating to the establishment of a foreign office at Pekin to take he place of the tsung li yanmen. The plan~ of the powers is that he old board of ten members hall be replaced by a new bioard >f five members, with a prince of he blood at its head, two min sters of foreign affairs, andl two ice niinisters, the latter to have aknowledge of foreign languamges. 'fhis plan has not been wholly atitsfactory to the foreign minis ers and their governments, but hey have accepted it with the elief that it was at least an hm rovement on tho old tsung Ii amen and one which would be nore likely to concur with China's esire to have important work erformed by boards instead of y individuals. Mr. Wu's memorial will go even fadher than the powers have sug gsted as to the establishment of amoderns foreign service. In Send of a board he will pr'opose hat one~ ofticial be given the au hlority and responsibility of di reti ng thme foreign affairs of the mpuirO. HeI does not regard it s essential that this one official hall be a price of the blood, al hloghm if need be preference ight be given to a prince if heh ad the other requisites of ability or foreign admninistration. Thme emorial will urge that the su reme test yf the selection of this igh official shall be ab~ility a nd~ Iitness for the special duties to hich he is appointed. It will e pointed out that by virtue of t his position lie should be a mnem br of thme privy council, and thus ble to secure ready access to tihe mperor. While this official -oul ie calrg1 wih the re sponsibility, yet for administra tive purposes he would have under him two or three assistants and a corps of clerks and other subordinates. Bears the The Kind Y, Have Alwas Eiugt Sigr atwoeZ AGUINALDO URGES ALLEGIANCE. Manila, April 22.-A represent ative of the Associated Press vis ited Aguinaldo this afternoon at 5; Solano street, where he was remnoved from Malacanan, and fonid him in a large room up stairs, furnished with a table, a typewriting machine, three settees and twenty chairs. His wife, who was entertaining a number of Filipino women friends, sat at one end of the room, while Aguinaldo, smoking a cigar and chatting with Benito Legardo, occupied the op posite corner. Others present were Lieut. Col. John S. Mallory of the Forty-first volunteer infantry, who has charge of Aguinaldo; Lieut. Gilbert A. Youn,) :g of the Third artillery, and Mr. Fisher, Gen. McArthur's private secretary. Aguinaldo, whose bearing was corteous and dignified, was dress ed in white, and looked well, and altogether made an excellent im pression. Legardo, who but re (ently returned from the United States, was telling about the trip, and he seemed intensely inter ested, smiling frequently and ask ing numerous questions. He in quired particularly as to what President McKinley said, and seemed anxious to know what was thought of him in the United States. He was rather reluctant to talk for publication, and con sidered every question carefully before answering it. He said he was doing all he could to assist in, the pacification of the Philippines and expressed himself as sur prised at what the Americans had 1!complished. When he was first captured, lie went on to say, he was greatly astonished to find that a majority of the Filipinos entertained the opinion that Amer ican sovereignty was preferable to independence, but now he was in lined to believe that way himself. He explained that since the disso luon of the insurgent congress and the declaration of guerri. FaaiJ e~l1f~s had operated e o all intents and purposes inde- " >endently. They recognized him 5 's commander-in-chief, sending ~ imn reports occasionally, and he ~ ssued some orders; but for the S ast seven months communication 1 ad b)een difficult, and he had een almost disconnected. "I am now urging in the strong i manner possible," said Aguin ido, "that all insurgents should si srrender and swear allegiance to * he United States." He expressed the opinion that 2 inio, Lubar, Malvar and other a :epresentative insurgents will sur ender as soon as they come to i mderstand the nature of the am esty offered them. He said he oped that when the work of paci ition was complete and condi ions were settled the prisoners in uam would be released. After referring in grateful terms c o the courteous treatment ac- n orded him by the military au horities, lie declared his convic :on that the civil government l which would follow pacification vould realize the highest hopes t. f the Filipino people. . When questioned regarding the ' eport that lie would visit the nited States, ho replied that he ~ wuld like to (do so, but had ~ ade no plans as yet, placing s imself entirely at the disposition c > the American government. In ~ :oncluding the interview, he 0ob- d served: "Every word in my address to ' [fy countrvmen, the Filipinos, ~ ame from mny heart. I hope the n mericans believe me thoroughly j sincere in my efforts to secure eace, and, under American aus- n ices, to promote the welfare and >roserity of the Philippines." 1 Shade Into Tour Shees - -._ ti A n' Fjnt Ets.'. a po'w.lcr.
