MORGAN, M. P.
Will be the Cecil Rhodes of the
Chinese Empire.

PEKINa, Feb. 1.-The final contract
of the mining concession of Nh
William Pritchard Morgan, Member
of Parliament for the Merthyr Tyd-
vii division of Wales, in the pro.
vince of Szechuen, has been signed.
1t is understood that the contract
secures for Mr.. Morgan, in partner
ship with an American syndicate
and the Chinese authorities, control
of all the mines and oil fields in the
province. The Americans, it is add
ed, provide 25 percent of the capital,
the Chinese officials provide 30 per-
cent, and Mr.. Morgan is to provide
the balance. Mr.. Morgan, it is fur
ther asserted, intends to start with
capital of f1,OOO,OOO, and proposes
to administrate Szechuen on the
same lines as followed by Cecil
Rhodes in South Africa.
1t was reported from Hongkong
some time ago, that MIR. Mogan, IN
addition to obtaining most valuable
concessions in Szechuen, had obtain
ed other very valuable oncessions
from the Korean government in an
area of about 260 square miles,
where he and his associates were to
work all the minerals for seventy
five years, their buildings and works
to be exempt from taxation and all
materials and machinery necessary
for working the mines to be intro
duced into the country free of duty.
The Korean government, it was add
ed, was to received royalty of % per-
cent of the net profits.

LIE Soir demands the resignation
Of the rabbi, and as the latter is vir-
tually state official it is not un-
likely that the agitation will become
a serious matter for him. Curiously
enough the editor of the LIE Soir,
which is one OF the most violent of
the anti-Dreyfus organs, is himself a
Jew, named CASTOR Hollonais.
According to a despatch to La
Presse from Cayenne, the capital OF
French Guiana, Dreyfus was so
angry on learning that Captain LIE
Brun Renault had assert ed that he
confessed at the time of his trial
and degradation that he declined to
answer any more of the questions
put to him by the Court of Cassa-
tion unless taken back to France.
The most ardent supporters of the
theory that Dreyfus was unjustly
condemned now admit that there is
no longer the least hope that justice
will be done.

Triau gular Consular Disagreement
Still Pilleging But No More
Fighting
AUCKLAND, N. O., Feb, 1.-The fol-
lowing advices have just been re-
ceived here from Apia, Samoa, under
date of January "a, from the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press:
There has been a collision of
authority between Chief Justice
William l.. Chambers OF the SUI
preme Court and DIR. Joannes Raffel,
the German president of the NUM-
cipalitv of Apia.
Herr Grosmuhl, German resi-
dent of Apia, who was arrested for
smashing the windows of the Su-
preme Court chamber, was sentenced
by the Chief Justice to imprison-
ment and to pay fine. DIR. Raffel
instructed the police authorities to
release Herr Grosmuhl, whose fine
was subsequently fixed at $1,000.
The German Consul, Herr Rose,
thereupon wrote to the American
Consul, Lloyd w. Osborne, and the
British Consul, E. B. S. Maxse, pro-
testing that the action of the Chief
Justice in fining Herr Grosmuhl was
an infringement of German consular
rights. Messrs. Osborne and Make
jointly replied in their official capa-
city that, the proper tribunal having
dealt with the matter, the consuls
could not interfere. More than this
they declined to have further inter-
course with the German Consul or
the German municipal president, ex-
cept in writing, or to attend meet
ings, except to consider the acts of
the municipal council Of Apia, un-
less an apology with full retraction
were offered for the behavior toward
Chief Justice Chambers. At the
same time the Supreme Court sum-
moned Dr. Raffel for contempt of
court in releasing Herr Grosmuhl.
There has been no further general
fighting between the partisans of
the rival chieftains since the last ad-
vices were forwarded, except that a
party of Mataafa's followers was
routed in the bush by Malietoans.
1t is expected, however, that fight
ing Will be resumed, as Mataafa is
rearresting persons who have been
already fined and released.
The work of pillage continues,
among the houses looted being
Vailima, the home of the late Robert
Louis Stevenson, the novelist.
The exiled Malietoan chiefs were
landed at Pago-pago, on the Island
of Tutuila, the schooner on which
they we're on being unable to pro-
coed to the Island of Manau owing
to adverse winds. The Tutuilans
gave them hearty welcome and at
tempted to seize Mataafa's son, who
was on board the schooner, but the
captain put to sea.

Dreyfus' Friends Have No Hope for
Justice for Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
PARIS, Feb. Count Ferdinand
Walsin Esterhazy was officially in
formed yesterday that his testimony
before the Court of Cessation in the
Dreyfus inquiry being concluded
proceedings against him on'criminal
charges would be resumed in TWEEN
ty-four hours. He left at once for
an unknown destination by the
Northern Railway.
Count Esterhazy's fight to evade
arrest on the charges brought
against him by his cousin, Christian
Esterhazy, of obtaining money un-
der fraudulent pretenses, has been
the sensation of the day. On read
ing the warning letter which was
brought to him by detective,
Esterhazy swore and called the let
ter "canaillerie," "trick worthy of
the beasts | have had to deal with"
1t is understood that the hasty
withdrawal of the safe conduct
granted him was the outcome of his
cavalier treatment of M. Bertulu,
the magistrate, and of his refusal to
give further testimony.
The latest victim of the anti
Dreyfus party is the Grand Rabbi
Zado Khan, who is being denounced
as the "ring- leader of the infamous
Jewish conspiracy against France
on the strength of story just pub
lished to the effect that after Drey-
fus was sentenced the rabbi, at the
request Of Matthew Dreyfus, tried

The Saturday Review" commenting

"The talk of Anglo-American good will,
which has been indulged in more freely
than usual during the week, is mere
moonshine, SO long as the Alaska boun-

lean obstinacy has resulted in a tenn
porary arrangement, which Sir Louis

FOOTBALL.
Yale Defeats Wisconsin Six to
Nothing,

NEW HAVEN Comm, Oct. 21.-The
Varsity football elevens of Yale and
the University of Wisconsin met this
afternoon. An hour before the calling
of the game the wind was blowing out
of the north at the rate of eighteen
miles an hour directly down the grid
iron, making itself an important factor
in the game for which elaborate punt
ing was predicted.
Play for the first ten minutes was
very fierce, without either side having
any advantage. Yale seemed to be
playing trifle stronger, play being
mostly in Winconsin's territory. Wis
consin depended wholly on O'Dea' s
kicking. Fast as Yale got the ball into
Wisconsin territory Pat" punted it out
of danger
First half Yale 0, Wisconsin O.
Wisconsin started the second half off
with a rush, carrying Yale off her feet
temporarily. Wisconsin rushed 10
yards, and O'Dea tried for goal from
field from Yale's 40 yard line. He
failed. Yale played like demons, rush
ing the ball down the field in grand
style Wisconsin failed before Yala's
rushes. Yale plunged in successive
attacks for full 60 yards gain only to
lose ball on tumble. With ten minutes
more to play it looked like a tie with
no score. O'Dea failed in an attempt
to kick the goal from the field. 1he
ball was now in Yales territory Yale
got a touchdown, made by Richardson,
after run Of 90 yards through the en-
tire Wisconsin eleven.
Final score: Yale q, Wisconsin 0.
The game ended with the ball in
Yale's territory in her own possession,
and the Wisconsin men fighting like
fiends.
