WANTS OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
United States Said to Have Demand
ed Written Assurances.


London Nov. A special dispatch from
Washington asserts the American state
department recently asked France, Ger
many and Russia to give written assur-
ances regarding the preservation of the
open door in China, being dissatisfied
with mere oral assurances and rejecting
a proposal that the United States should
seize port and establish a sphere of in
fluence in China.
IF these assurances are declined" says
The dispatch, "the United States will in
sist on China observing the strict letter
of the treaty giving the United States
equal rights with other powers in China"
The Daily Chronicle, commenting edi-
torially upon this new departure in the
American policy, which will be fully APP

may affect the international politics of
Europe in a very remarkable degree"

THE CHINESE CAPITAL.
Pekin the Most Anomalous and Sur-
prising Place in the World.

From the Century.
Pekin is the most incredible, impossible,
anomalous and surprising place in the
world, the most splendid, spectacular, pic
turesque and interesting city in China;
Central Asian city of the far past; forth
fed capital of the thirteenth century hand
ed down intact.
Pekin is the capital of all China, yet
what interests and piques one most, gives
Pekin its own individual character and
distinguishes it from the other cities OF
the empire, are the things that are not
Chinese, the contrasts and the contradic-
lions. Pekin is by first intention per-
manent Tartar encampment; a fortified
garrison of nomad bannermen surrounding
Patching the northern palace of the con-
quering khan of khans. The Tartar ruler
of 100000 of subject Chinese is closely
surrounded by his faithful Manchu clans
men from beyond the great wall, who
scorn and hate and secretly fear the
masses of Chinese more than any outer
enemy; who have thrown themselves into
the arms of Russia through fear OF the
Chinese; who have bargained that Russia
shall send soldiers to their aid when need
ed; who have held back and turned back
the wheels of the progress, with certain
precedence that the new order would rele-
gate them to poverty and extinction
Every Manchu is borne on the rolls as
Zimmerman, and receives his stipend even
IL he never bends a bow or hurls stone
in military drill. But the Manchu BAN
nermen are no longer the fierce warriors
their ancestors were, nor their khan even
a hardy huntsman like the early Manchu
Emperors
There had been three cities there before
Kublai Khan did his stately pleasure-dome
decree, and
SO twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round
To make the splendid capital Marco Polo
first described. The plan, the palaces, the
walls, all date from Mongol times, the thir-
teenth century. The same quaint military
customs of the middle ages are observed
The soldiers are drilled in archery and
quoits, and the nine city gates are Changed
to at sunset, shutting Chinese subjects OUT
in separate city by themselves, as IL
their conquest were just accomplished.

West Point N. Y, Nov. 4.-The Yale
football team defeated West Point to-day,
"a to 0. BY hard line bucking through the
center and tackles principally by Nc
Bride, Yale carried the ball three times
across the goal line and got fourth
touch down on decision of the umpire,
which was questioned by some OF those
on the side lines who believed that in
stead of touchdown by Yale the ball
should have gone to West Point on their
thirty-yard line.
West Point was on the defensive most
OF the time, but made gains through Yale's
left tackle several times.

DETROIT's CITY CAMPAIGN.

Gov. Pingree's participation. Hereto

for private purchase as a means of pro-
curing municipal ownership of street rail-
