A FRIEND OF CHINA.
Minister wu Satisfied with Americas
Commercial Policy.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Minister WI Ting Fang, the representa-
tive of China in Washington, has been
following with the closest interest the
various developments in the negotiations
which have been in progress between
the United States and the various gov.
ernments relative to the preservation
Of American rights in the empire OF his
sovereign. He is satisfied that aside
from the natural desire Of this govern
ment to protect its trade, it has acted
as sincere friend of his country. In
speaking today of the effect of the as
surances given the United States by the
several powers, he said:
"China's friendship for the United
States is a growth OF years. Nothing
has ever happened to disturb the friend
ly relations of the two governments.
l look upon the recent negotiations for
the preservation OF American rights in
China as another move by this govern
ment which, while designed primarily
for the protection of its own interests,
cannot but be regarded In any other
light than as another manifestation Of
its good will for my country.
There is only one ripple on the
placid waters of friendship Of the two
countries which has in 1t any possi-
bility Of lessening the cordiality that
now exists. This arises from the policy
now being pursued by the military au-
thorities in the Philippines, which ex-
cludes Chinese subjects, and in some
cases even merchants and students who
belong, to the excepted classes under
the treaty have been refused admission.
am satisfied that when this country
considers the benefits which follow the
free admission of my countrymen into
the Philippines, 1t will issue an order
revoking the military decree which pro-
hibits Chinese immigration.
"The trade of the United States with
China has increased abnormally, 40
per cent over what it was the year pre-
ceding. Its development is undoubt-
edly due to the friendship which exists
between the two countries, and to the
knowledge that the United States has
none but a kindly interest in the em.
pire.
"Our relations with all the countries
Of the world are'of a most peaceful char
acter. My government is reorganizing
the army, and is employing foreign in.
structors and we hope to obtain mo.
bile army which will be able to defend
the country in time of need"

man estate is expected to be made next

HARD FIGHTING NOW.
Beers Between Ladys---2ith
and General Butler.
lombard THE TOWN FOUR HOURS
British Make q Heavy attack on Colen-
so-Cheveley Camp In the Height
of Activity.

London, Jan. 9.-The Daily Mail has
the following, dated January 6, at
noon, from Frere camp:
"At3 O'Clock this morning very
heavy firing began at Ladysmith. 1t
lasted fully four hours, and must have
meant either sortie by the British or
determined attack on the garrison by
the Beers. Our shells could be seen
falling on Umbutwhna hill and the en-
emy were replying.
Besides the cannon reports, there
were sounds indicating small pieces of
artillery in action. The fighting must
have been at closer range than has been
the case up to now.
"Our naval guns at Cheveley sent
their usual fire into the Boer trenches,
but there has been no further move
ment here"
The Daily Telegraph has the follow
ing from Frere camp, dated Saturday:
"a very heavy bombardment went
on at Ladysmith from daybreak until
this morning. 1t is believed that an
engagement was in progress, for mus
kerry fire was also heard. 1t is possi-
BILE the garrison was making sortie,
for the Beers at Colenso hurriedly left
their trenches and rode toward Lady
smith.
"Our big naval gun at Cheveley
camp fred several rounds at the enemy
as they were leaving their Colenso
lines. General Butler has ridden on
to Cheveley with his staff"
A special dispatch from Frere camp,
dated Saturday evening, says:
General White photographs that he
defeated the Beers this morning. They
crept up SO close to the defending forces
that the Gordon Highlanders and the
Manchesters actually repulsed them at
the point of the bayonet." ;"

San Francisco, Jan. 10.--The storw
CT the loss of the British steamer
peh, ON her voyage from this city
Hong King, via Java, has been receiN
in this city, and the details show thA
the loss of the vessel was accompanied
by far greater loss Of life than the
cabled reports told Of. The vessel
sprung leak after leaving Java with
cargo of sugar for Hong Kong. The
Chinese crew refused to work. The
ships boats, with one exception, were
destroyed during storm, and the crew
built number of RATS, launching
them and setting them ahoat, leaving
the captain and one passenger on board
the sinking vessel. The Europeans oc-
cupied one raft and the Chinese were
divided on six or seven others.
The RATS were soon surrounded by
hundreds OF ravenous sharks, which, In
their eagerness to get at the ship
wrecked sailors, jumped far out OF the
water. Soon several OF the Chinese
RATS were overturned, and 1t was then
that the Europeans decided to return
to the vessel. The only remaining
boat was repaired and launched, thu
captain taking command.
The island OF Luband, In the Philip
pine group. was finally made and the
natives, on learning that the mariners
were British subjects, made them COM
Portable and later sent them to Manila.
Nothing was ever heard OF the Chinese
crew, numbering as, and they must
have been drowned and devoured by
the pursuing sharks.

Young America Won the Day.

Chicago, Jan. l0.--Little Charles
Hosworth footed tin horn on Sunday
afternoon on the prairie at Western
and Wabansia avenues and Immediate
ly 100 boys sprang ito arms" at the
improvised bugle call. A great battle
had been arranged and the two armies
of so boys each advanced toward each
other in military fashion. A neighbor-
hood feud started the matter, and un-
der the truce OF white flag the boys
had agreed to fight the battle OF San
Juan hill"
Many of the boys had rifles and shot
guns, most of them unloaded, fortu.
nately. Those who could not get guns
had brooms or sticks. Some of the
boys had revolvers. The two armies
threw themselves upon one another
with fury little short Of real en-
gagement. While the battle ragged,
the patrol wagon from the police sta
ton came to the scene. Big policemen
charged the combined American"
and "Spanish" forces, and when the
smoke and dust had lifted. the fleeing
forms of the youthful warriors could be
seen disappearing toward all points Of
the compass. On the battlefield,
wounded and moaning, lay several
boys.
The worst injured was Lieutenant"
Harry Johnson, IL years old. and a
Spanish" officer, who was shot in the
back. The Spanish" commander,
"Genernal" Artie Standt, had bullet
wound in his left leg. Others had
slighter injuries, but none of the boys
were seriously hurt. Later the police
arrested Emil Gustafson, aged is, who,
they claimed, fired the bullets which
hit the two Spanish" officers.

meeting today, it was definitely decid-

CHARGE
Sensational Statements Made
in the Senate.
ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TAGAL
Declared the Government Was Guilty Of
the GrOssost eachery-FinRn-
clal Debate Postponed.

Washington, Jan. 10.-During dis
cussion today of resolution of inquiry
offered by Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
some sensational statements were made
in the senate regarding the attitude of
the United States toward the Filipino
insurgents. Pettigrew declared that
the government had attacked its allies,
and thereby had been guilty OF the
grossest treachery. This statement
was resented warmly by Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, who declared that this gov
ernment had done nothing of the kind,
and that, not even remotely, had it
recognized the so-called government Of
the Filipinos.
Morgan of Alabama discussed at
length the race question In the South,
basing his remarks upon resolution
offered by Pritchard, Republican, Of
North Carolina. He maintained that
to attempt to force the black race into
a social and political equality with the
white race was only to clog the prog
ress of all mankind.
The house today ordered two investi-
cations as a result OF resolutions intro
duced by Representative Lentz, of
Ohio. The first is to be an investige-
tion by the committee on postoffices
and postroads into the charge that two
federal appointees OF the president
John @. Graham, Of Provo City, Utah,
and Postmaster Orson Smith, of Logan,
Utah-are under Indictment as polyga-
mists, and whether affidavits to that
effect were on file at the time of their
appointment. The other is general
investigation of the military commit
tee into the conduct of General Mer-
riam and the United States army Off
GERS during the Wardner, Idaho, riots
and subsequent thereto.
