BELIEVES IN PROGRESS.
The Ex- Chinese Consult 6 eneral Talks
on Modern Advance.


His Excellency Yu Shi Yee, x-Consul-
General of China to the port of San Fran
cisco, has been spending the past few days
as guest at the Cliff House, and prior TO
his departure for the Flowery Kingdom
he has interested himself greatly iii mat
ters of progress due 10 American enlight-
eminent. He has taken much pleasure in
Golden Gate Park and mas lost no oppor-
tunity of increasing his knowledge OF
American conditions.
In conversation yesterday he spoke
freely of the material advantage gained
by Japan through her welcoming foreign
men and method9, and he predicted that
within ten years the whole worlu would
be astonlshed by the rapid strides which
emma would make in the same direction.
He felt that the time had come when his
countrymen would get out O. their isola-
ton and he said that he believed that
much OF the spirit OF friendlIness which
was being lately evinced toward Ameri-
cans was fostered by the missionaries
who would find that hereafter there
would he more liberal spiri: shown
toward them and their work
dis Exceliency has proven himself a
broad student of men and affairs while in
this city, and the Chinese residents feel
assured that 1t is due largely to his pru-
dence AMI wisdom that there have been so
few quarrels among the different tongs
during the past lew months. He has not

probably be in this country for sever al
weeks, as he wishes to more fully study
conditions which he thinks will be bene-
ticial to his own country.

which engaged the entire attention of The
committee this morning. Hasken's resig-
nation was presented by Scott OF the iu-
knior class and was unanimously accepie ed.
The committee praised Haskell highly for
his willingness TO sacrifice himself in the
interests OF the college. The students

ever, declares that even now, il Sheehy

that the matter of Shcehy's reinstatement
lies within the discretion of Coach Mott,
and Mott refuses to say word in regard
to the matter.
