WISCONSIN MAKES A GOOD RUN.
From Seattle to San Francisco at 49, AZ
Knots an Hour,

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The battle
ship Wisconsin has made a run from
Seattle to San Francisco, a distance
of 793 miles, at an average speed of
10 42-100 knots, her engines averag-
ing lightweight revolutions, and the
run being made under ordinary condi-
tions, brru as to ship and weather.
This is IN excellent showing. She was
making the run in exactly the same
condition as she would travel if she
were ordered to Honolulu, or to Ma
Mia, or, like the Oregon, around the
Horn, and it is seen that it is an ex-
cellent speed. 1t also proves that her
behavior at sea was excellent, as a
por seaboat is never speedy in her
class. This is a record of sustained
steaming under ordinary draft for sew
eral days. Under proper forced draft,
with sea conditions in her favor, her
builders, the Union Iron works, claim

has had no tryOut by which the play
ing ability of the team can be gagged
to the satisfaction of the coach. 1t is
for this purpose that Mr.. King and
Manager Wheeler are so anxious to
arrange a game with some team prior
to the lineup with Beloit. They will
use every effort in securing this result
by communication with teams all over

has been cancelled because of the pro-
hibition of playing, which has greatly
disconnected Wisconsin for it's coming

Washington, Oct. 5.-The United
States government has taken another
decisive step in the development of
the Chinese situation in a note deliv-
cred yesterday by Secretary Hay to
the German charge d'affairs, Baror
Speck Won Sternberg. In the note ia
vorable action by this government on
Germany's late suggestions concern
ing the punishment of Chinese crimi-
mails is expressed, and the announce
ment is made that the United States
already has sent instructions to Min
lister Conger along the lines indicated.
The American note is considered most
important in the establishment CT
complete unity of action between the
United States and Germany.
The point now under consideration
is the supervision by the ministers of
the powers at Pekin, of the punish
ments to be admitted by the Chinese
authorities.
The French government, through NJ
Thiebaut, the French charge d'affairs,
has presented to Secretary Hay pro-
gram for the complete settlement of
the Chinese difficulty and at the same
time the Russian government through
M. Dewollant seconds the French pro-
pOsal, thus making it joint Franco
Russian proposition. The proposal is
under four heads, as follows:
First-Punishmen of the guilty
Chinese officials.
SeCOnd-The Introduction Of arms
and munitions of war to China.
Third--The payment of indemnity
to the powers.
Fourth-The sufficient Chinese
guaranteed for the future
The proposal further asks for a
competent legation guard at Pekin, the
razing of the Taku forts and their de-
struction and the establishment of a
line of communication between the
seaboard and Pekin.

American citizens at Iientsin, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
eve, citizens of the United States,
deplore the contemplated withdrawal
of large part of the United States
troops in north China. We feel the
work of the allied armies is far from
accomplished and that the re-
fusal of the American govern
ment to take it's part therein
is sure to be regarded by the allies
as an unworthy act, and by the Chin
csc as sign of Indifference. We urge
our government to carry to an end the
work it has so honorably and efficient
ly begun and to maintain a sufficient |
force here to secure the protection of
American mercantile and missionary |
interests until a settlement of the
present trouble is accomplished"

London, Oct ct is reported in
st. Petersburg, according to CORE
spondent of the Times at the Russian
capital, that the Chinese fleet in For
mosa strait attempted to engage the
Russian armored cruiser Rurik, but
the latter's speed frustrated the
plan. The correspondent says it is
probable the allied sQuadrons will
force the Chinese fleet to capitulate
or will destroy it. Shanghai kilograms
announce an imperial edict, dated
Sept. 80, expressing the opinion that
the object of the recent edictS regard
ing the degradation of Chinese person
ages of high rank was merely to gain
time and enable China to be in a bet
ter position to defy the powers, as the
new capitol will be virtually inaccess-
ible from the coast. A Shanghai cor
respondent, discussing this aspect of
the case, remarks: German troops
have no means of transport, and any
attempt to follow the Chinese court
will be therefore quite futile" He says
the Chinese firmly believe in the ex-
istence of a Russo-German agreement
under which Russia will take all the
territory north of the great wall, and
Germany the provinces of Chilli and
Shan Tung.
