CHINA'S APOLOGY.
It Is Delivered to the German Government.
PRINCE CHUN .MELTS THE KAISER.
A Plain Statement cf The Condition
of the Chinese Government?ColU
Not Prevent Cutraees.
Potsdam, Uy able.?Prince Chun visited
the mausoleum and placed
^ wreaths un the tombs of the Emperor
and Empress Frederick. Emperor William
tvieived Prince Chun at noon, in
the present e of the royal Princes,
Baron Von Richthofcn. the Foreign
Secretary, the principal ministers and
generals and the court dignataries.
The Prince road a letter written in
yellow ink. to the Emperor. The following
is the text of the letter:
The Great Emperor of the Chinese
Empiio to His Maesty. thje Great German
Emperor, greeting: Ever since
the empires have been mutually represented
by permanent legations, we
have stood uninterrupted in friendly
relationship with one another, especially
since the visit of Prince Henry,
whom I had the privilege of receiving
frequently and treating with on intimate
terms. Unfortunately in the fifth
month of last year the Boxers rebellious!}
penetrated into Pekin and
the soldiers joined them. The result
was the murder of Your Majesty's
minister. Baron Von Kettler. a man
who as long as he occupied his post
at Pekin paid careful attention to the
interests of our countries and to whom
we are bound to pay our special acknowledgements.
We regret most
deeply that Baron Von Kettler met so
terrible an end among us. The fact
that we were not in a position to take
protective measures was painful to our
sense of responsibility. It was this
feeling of responsibility which prompted
us to erect a monument on the spot
as a sign that the crime should not

sent to Germany, with this letter, the
imperial Prince. Chun Tsai Fong,
heading a special mission. Prince
Chun, our own brother, will assure
Your Majesty how deeply the events
of the past year have grieved us and
how deeply feeling of penitence and
shame still animate us. Your Majesty
sent your troops from a far distance,
put down the Boxers' rebellion and restored
peace, for the welfare of our
nations. We have, therefore, commanded
Prince Chun to express personally
to Your Majesty our thanks
for your efforts in promoting peace.
We cherish the hope that Your Majesty's
indignation will be replaced by
the old friendship. That the relations
"between our empires will be even more
extensive and of a more intimate and
beneficient character than hitherto is
our firm assurance."
Prince Chun, in deliviering the let
ter. said: "I am in a position iu assure
Your Majesty that the Emperor,
my most gracious master, stood aloof
from these complications, which
brought misfortune upon China and
loss and care upon Germany. Nevertheless.
in accordance with the customs
of thousands of years, the Emperor
of .China has taken the blame on
his ov/n sacred person. I have, therefore.
the task of expressing to Your
Majesty the most cordial feelings of
the Emp?ror, my most illustrious
master, toward your Imperial Majesty
and the whole imperial family. I hope
the passing cloud will only intensify
the su reeding sunshine and mutual
friendship of the two great empires
when they understand the value of
each other better."
Emperor William in reply said: "It
is no joyous or festive occasion, nor
the fulfillment of the simple act 01
courtesy which brings your imperial
highness to me; but a deeply melancholy
and very serious event. My minister
to the court of the Emperor of
China has been slain in the capital of
China by the murderous weapons of
an imperial Chinese soldier acting
under superior command, an unheardof
crime, which is branded as infamous
by international law and the
usage of all nations. From the mouth
of your imperial highness I have just
received an expression of tne deep ,egret
of the Emperor of China. I
readily believe your imperial brother
f personally stood aloof from this crime
and the subsequent acts of violence
against the inviolable legations and
peaceful foreigners. All the greater the
guilt rests on his advisers and government.
The latter must not delude
themselves with the belief that they
are able to ouia:n aiuucim-m ,,...
don for their guilt by the expiatory
y mission alone. -*

New Enterprises That Are Enrichinj
Our Favored Section.
New Industry l or North Carolina. |
And r.ow cemcs the fact that China :
can no longer claim to he the only
country that produces the rush from
which the famous "Chinese matting'
is manufactuted. This great m: nopslv
can no more belong exclusively to
the Flowery Kingdom. Along tho
hanks of the Trent and Ncuse rivers
and tlieir tributaries and mais'ms. b ginning
about 15 miles above Newb: m
tliere grows a beautiful rush from
three to seven feet high, samples of
which were lately submitted to a Boston
expert an(J declared by him to b:
the identical species of the Chinese variety
and from which the Chine-e rr.a-tings
is made. The supply of this rush
In this State is positively inexhaustible.
It is a perennial, exceedingly
hardy and a vigorous, rapid grower.
In its original green state the stalls I
arc from the size of a kniiting needle
to that of a lead pencil. It is conservatively
estimated that about 301000.000
yards cf Chinese matting are shinped
into the United States alone annually
from China. It will therefore
be seen what the discovery o? this
North Carolina rush really means to
the commercial world, and its importance
to the men who will engage in
its manufacture. Truly the great and
diversified wealth cf the Old North
State is a constant and continual surprise.
"The half has never been told."
?Raleigh News and Observer.
A Southern Blenchery.
One of the most important announcements
ever made in connection
with the Southern textile industry has
appeared during the current week. It
is the announcement cf the completion
of the $300,000 bleaehery at Clearwater
S. C., the first of its character in this
section to cater to the general mill
trade. There are two other bleachcries
in the South, but th*y are operated
in conjunction with cotton factories.
The plant just completed will
print, bleach and dye sheetings, drills,
ducks and sateens, and its weekly capacity
is 100 tons of goods. The operators
have been chosen from the
leading plants in New England, and
the company owning the bleachery expects
its plant to be but the initial step
that will ultimately result in the South
printing, bleaching and dyeing all of
its manufactured cloth. The establishment
of the bleachery is due ta the efforts
of Mr. Thomas Barrett. Jr., of
Augusta. Ga., the company's president,
who has for years, been identified with
the cotton manufacturing interests of
the South.
(
Florida's Orange Crop.
C. C. Carlton, representing J. H. Big- <
glow, of Cleveland. Ohio, the big
orange buyer, returned last week from '
a trip to DLe Soto county. He reporrs (
the orange crop of that county will be ;
fully as large as it was last year, but
the grapefruit crop will be short. So
far the price by the box has not been
established, most of the sales being in
bulk, but he thinks that the ruling
price will be $1 to $1.25 a box on the
tree. Mr. Carlton is cn a trade for
30.000 boxes at Wauchula. and he expects
to secure fully that many here. ,
Mr. Carlton is of the opinion that tho .
growers will market their f: uit as car'v ;
as possible this year, ?is many of them
lost heavily by holding back for better
prices last year.?Tampa (Fla.) Times,
