ENGLAND is BEATEN.
London Journals Concede That Rus
STA Has Out-Generaled Her

London. Aug. 13@The morning pa
pers express the growing indignation
of the country at the position of affairs
in China
The Daily Graphic says:''If this state
of things continues the guns will go off
of themselves"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who processes to divulge
the terms of a long existing secret
treaty between China and Russia, says:
1T is nothing less than an offensive
alliance. China undertakes to regard
Russia as having q preponderating in
huence- on all questions of commercial
and international policies, while Russia
VIII support China against all open
door demands. Russia finances China
in internal developments, and China
grants Russia preferential rates in GER
tain areas, and railways built in the
joint interests of the two countries viii
be under Russfa's practical control.
Russia will assist China in develop
ing her military and naval forces and
China will cooperate with Russia as
an ally. This treaty has been in abey-
ance since Lii Hung Chang visited the
car. That it has become operative at
the present moment in respect to the
Pekin-HankOw and Nieu ChWang con-
tracts is significant"
If the Daily Nails version may be
trusted, it will explain much that had
hitherto been fnexplicable in the deVel-
Opment of the question. The manager
of the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank
in London, in the course Of an inter
view yesterday, Sd1Q. DeIGNG tie
Pekin- HankOw line, owing to natural
Instructions and it's cOstliness, will
never be built, Russia merely wishing
to keep England out"
The French press comments gleefully
upon the situation, and the newspapers
at Berlin and Viena are at no pains to
hide their satisfaction at the discomfi-
ture of England. The continental press
regards the project of an Anglo-Amerf-
can alliance as chinerical. These jour
nails consider that the United States
has had enough of war at present and
will not care to give Great Britain any
thing more than moral support in Chi
ma. Therefore England is not likely to
pick a quarrel with Russia but will
content herself with seeking compensa-
ton elsewhere. A special dispatch from
Shanghai says: 1.-THE Russian agents
are again intriguing to obtain control
of the Chinese maritime customs de-
partment.''
The Pekin correspondent of the
Times, telegraphing with reference to
the Pekin- Hankow contract, says: THE
the Tsung Ii Yamen gave assurances
that the decree confirming the con-
tract would not be issued until after
further conference with Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British minister"
The Daily Chronicle in an editorial
which reflects the general opinion of
the London morning press comments
on the fact that the Marquis of Sails
bury and all the responsible officials
are leaving London at this critical mo-
ment. It is said the curtain is deiber-
ately dropped on a scene of national
humiliation and national Indignation.

WAS AFAST GAME.
Topeka Won From Wichita by Score
of to 2.

The crowd at Athletic park Friday
witnessed a fast game of ball that was
'anybody's game" until the last man
was out in the ninth inning. The score
was 8 to in favor OF Topeka.
Eyler pitched for Topeka and Cham
berlain, late of Atchison, was in the
box for Wichita. Both pitchers were
wild and both were touched up rather
freely but the safe hits were few and
far between. Pap EyIer would settle
down for an inning and pitch great ball,
but perhaps the next inning he would
have a great deal of trouble in finding
the home plate. He made six men pres
ents of base each. His support was
almost faultless or the story might have
been different.
In the fifth inning Short Stop Spencer
of Wichita, who by the way is an all
round ball player, ran around Hoover
who was making desperate attempt
to avoid Kruger and Fear and also
reach home. Six or seven Topeka play
ers were trying to stop Hoover and it
is strange that some one did not catch
Spencer and hold him until Hoover
could be touched with the ball. But
he was allowed to pass the wild scram-
BILE of ball players and cross the plate.
AfterWard Hoover was put out which
made the third out. OF course Spencer
would have been out too but he figured
on working the umpire, but his score
was not counted.
Score by innings:
Topeka ..........O o 0 0 0 0-3
Wichita ..............0 0 0 o.
