TO HAVE A HAND
Part Of L. S. In Partition of
China.

Pekin, March 3.-The demand Of the
Italian government upon the govern
ment Of China for a lease Of san Nun
bay as a coaling station and naval
base, on the same conditions as those
under which Germany holds Kiao-
Chou bay, including a demand upon the
part Of Italy for the concession Of three
Islands of the coast Of the province OF
Che-Kiang with the right to construct
q railroad from San Nun bay to Po-
fank lake, and preferential mining
ana railroad rights within a sphere OF
influence covering the southern third
OF Che-Eiang province. has caused
great excitement here, not only among
the Chinese. but among the diplomats.
The Chinese are firmly convinced
that Great Britain is responsible for
he Italian demand, that it was made
IN order to emphasize Great Britain's
displeasure a. the turn which the
Northern railroad question has taken.
They declare in proof Of this assertion
that Great Britain has determined up
on q sphere Of action and the abandon
ment Of the open door policy.
The diplomatists openly say that the
new development is the beginning OF a
policy Of partition upon the part of the
powers. The representative Of a great
power, during the course Of a CONVEX
satiSn, is said TO have suggested that
the moment has now arrived for inter
national control of China and it is
added that if the policy of the spheres
Of influence is really inaugurated, the
United States is expected to have a say
in the matter, and it is further said
that there are indications that America
IS likely to prefer the province Of
Chill.
Chilli is province of northern
China, lying between Mongolia on the
north, the Gulf Of Chilli and Shantung
on the east, Shantung and Honan on
the south, and Shansi on the west. The
chief cities are Picking. Tientsin and
Paotingfu. 1t has an area Of 5s.949
square miles and population Of IT,,

OTIS EXPLAINS.
Says Correspondents Were
Untruthful and Courted
Martyrdom.

Washington, July 21-The war de-
partment has issued statement quot
ing certain dispatches from Gen. Otis
in answer to the press correspondents
"round robin" The general says in sub
stance, that the correspondents wish
to send statements that imperil opera
tions; that they had no specification to
support their charges against him, ard
that these charges were untrue. He de-
mics that he minimized the work of the
navy and quotes from naval dispatches
to justify his statement.
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows
Gen. Otis in a dispatch under date OF
July 90 says that the press correspon-
dents demanded permission to cable
that official reports sent misrepresenteo
conditions This was denied They ther
demanded the privilege to send without
resery alton facts found by them an6
their opinion. This was granted if pub.
lie interests were not imperilled. The
answer was not satisfactory, and they
therefore sent by mail to Hong Kong
Gen. Otis says he is not conscious OF
sending misrepresentation but thinks
that his dispatches at times have beer
too conservative.
The press affair appeared to be &
threat. When the correspondents were
asked to be informed wherein Gen
Otis dispatches were misleading, they
offered nothing tangible, except that hi.
conclusions were unwarranted. Whef
told that they were disregarding mill.
tary authority, 1t was apparent thai
they courted martyrdom, which it was
unwise to give them.

nsuss tlsU znerican team Is csptained
by Worcester boy, James T. Roche,
Jr.. and an American victory will be
of more than ordinary interest here for
that reason. From all accounts the
American team Is In fine condition as a
whole, although there are one or two
instances Of poor form. The great fear
that the English climate would inter-
fere with the condition Of the athletes
seems to have been greatly exaggerat-
ed, and as a matter Of fact it is not of
as much Importance as many people
suppose
A change in climate is liable to affect
anyone, but it sometimes has tenden-
cy to improve the condition Of some
men. and this is true in England. The
American boys were in good shape
when they left this country, and they
have not been in England long enough
TO be seriously affected. The differ
ences in the conditions under which
some of the races are to be run will
not make a great difference, either. In
the 120-yard hurdle race. for instance,
Fox. the first string of the American
team. should hardly notice the differ
ence, as he is a finished hurdler and
viii not be bothered by the big hurdles
which the Englishmen use, and the
turf is so hard and firm that it is really
as good to run on as a majority of the
cinGer tracks. The quarter and half
mile runners may notice the change
when they come to run with their right
hand to the pole, and this might make
a difference in a very close race, but it
can hardly be considered a factor of
great Importance, and If the Yankee
boys cannot win that way the chances
are out of 10 that they could win at all.
at all.
In making calculations as to who
will win the meet, there is very little
to base estimates upon, as probably no
critic on this side Of the water has ever
witnessed the work Of all the conpeti-
tors. Even the astute writer of the
sporting comment in Harper's Weekly
would have hard time in making
comparisons. The results Of the Har-
vard-Yale and Oxford Cambridge
meets during last spring are at hand
and are given below, together with the
teams which will try to better the per-
foT1nances today

Clark received 20 and First Sergt. War

elected. On the second ballot, 30 votes
were cast. First Sergt. H. H. Warren

Lieut.. Fred. M Clark, Jr., has been a
member of the Worcester Light Infan-
try for many years and has always
worked hard and effectively for its in

fail to pass the physical examinations
at South birmingham for the United
States volunteer service, and could not
accompany the command in its cam

Lieut. Herbert H Warren is one Of

claim to the distinction of being one of

campaign before Santiago was not pro-

those in command, Lieut.. Warren, who
was attached to the headquarters staff
was selected to take an order to Gen.
| Chaffee and bring the order back TO
headquarters. In carrying out this Or
der, Lieut.. Warren performed a very
| hazardous feat, but obeyed the order
to the letter. Because of doing this he
has been recommended to be breveted
as captain, but as yet congress has not
taken any action in regard to the mat
| ter. Lieut. Warren has been a member
of the Light Infantry many years, and
can be depended to do his utmost in

meanor, good looks and high spirits

Mr. Wendell preserves admirable dis

the very best of feeling exists. There

and that was made in the case of a
member who was allowed to make a

clothing.
The prospect is that tomorrows con-
test will be close and won or lost prob
| ably by one event. The Americans are
confident of winning three events,
| three are considered doubtful, and
three are conceded to the Englishmen.
Adams or Burke are pretty sure of

THE FIGHT STILL ON.
Building Laborsrs Find More Cause Il
Strike Against Or. Kelley.

AS predicted in The Spy, Thursday
morning, IL building laborers on the
Kelly & Delehanty block left work on
that day. Owners had not prepared
work for the men Thursday afternoon
and it was announced that it would
be half day of rest 1t continued
through yesterday. and will not end
until the men have obtained work else
where.
DIR. Kelley came in for his share of
recognition yesterday. Members of the
labor unions involved in the strike have
had an idea that public sympathy was
with the physicians because action was
taken by the plumbers simply because
of the Master Plumbers association
fight with Ashley & Koran. They played
card yesterday afternoon to win pub
lie approval.
The startling discovery was made
some time ago, but had not ripened suf-
f1cientiy for digestion until yesterday.
The announcement that DIR. Kelly is a
member of the Coal Club gives the key
to the chamber containing the mysteries
of the labor union opposition.
Last winter the coal dealers included
in the combine known as the Coal Club
tenement houses where it was neces-
sary to climb stairs. Up one fight of
stairs meant 25 cents more per ton, two
fights so cents, and so on,
Teamsters and helpers were glad
there was no one living on the top
floor of the State Mutual building, but
they wanted 10 or 10 cents more per
day, which would bring the average
wages paid UP to 50 per week DR..
KaIl1 ic of m
opponent OF increasing wages, and this
has not been forgotten. Dr. Kelly sell
dom entertains labor men. DR.. Dele
hanty receives all committees, and they
entertain each other.
The following statement was given
out last night: The committee repre-
senting the building trades in the res
ent controversy between Drs. Kelly
and Delehanty and organized labor,
wish to submitfthe following as a true
statement as to what caused the pres
ent difficulty. That this fight is being
carried on to aid the Master Plumbers
association, we absolutely deny This
is an organized protest against men
who have derived all they have in this
worlds good from the laboring men,
and who seem to take a stand regard
less of the promises made to protect
a concern which is endeavoring to
break up our trades unions.
''At least one of the men involved in
the present trouble is a member of the
organization known as the Coal Club,
an organization which says that If any
one dares to start in that business
| without becoming a member of the
combine, that they will shut off their
coal supply and drive them out of BUSH
ness. The workingman can choose for
himself, the combine which affects him
most"
