PEOPLE VINO ARE PASSING

Prof. l. u. Games, recently profes.
sor OF international law In the I'm.
peral University at Tien -Tsln, has been
stopping az the knutsford for the last
two days on his way to London.
The professor Is graduate OF oxford
and was sent to China by his govern
ment to teach the Chinese mind some
thing about international relations from
q legal standpoint. He had been there
for two years when the Boxer move
ment broke loose, and before he realized
II the imperial troops were besieging
the city A four-inch shell was sent
whl2zng through his room and barely
escaped destroying his library. The war
adjourned the Imperial University sine
die, and with the financial support dis
continued, there Is no telling when the
institution VIII be revived again, SO
the professor OF international lnw, In
company with other members OF the Ia
Guilty, Is now out Of q job He did 80 to
practlcing law for a time In Tien-Tsln,
but concluded to return to his native
heath.
Prof Games says that had the Canton
province been supplied with the where
wlthal In 1898 they would have rovolted
from the empire and set up in business
for themselves. In fact he would be
prepared to believe that the Cantonese
were ready TO set up shop for them-
selves at any time. They are the most
progressive Of the Chinese and the best
OF that nation all round. Prof Eames
says that there are 10000 foreign troops
in northern China now, the British and
Germans holding Tsin. The Brit
lsh still hold the pekln railway, which
they will not give up 10 the Russians
without the latter give up the Man
churian railway"
II met Frank Could several weeks
ago In the east and found him pleas
ant and Intelligent young fellow, entire-
" free from affectatlon,' said Col. g.
u. w. Dorsey OF Nebraska today, In
conversation on the recent marriage
Of the younger scion Of the Gould fam
ily. And In further conversation the
colonel said that 1t was not necessary
for George Gould to resort TO the same
tactics as his father did In years gone
by as II Is no longer necessary to wreck
railroad In order TO gain control OF
II. The new trusts, combinations and
security companies give ample play for
the acquisitIve powers OF great railway
manlpulators, and by proper moves IN
the market at the right time the desired
ends can be gained
california, Washington and other
oil men are taking up all the lands
in Wyoming and Utah said Col. IF.
c. Downey of San Francisco today at
the Cullen, and in a few years from
now. Salt Lake people VIII be asking
themselves, How Is II that we over
looked such good opportunities? Why
didn't we go In and make ourselves
solid on the oil proposition The col
onel says the quickest way to ascer-
tain whether an oil Is parafilne or not
Is to moisten blottlng paper with IT,,
and after holding lighted match be-
meath II for q moment take smell OF
the upper side Of the paper. II the
oil has paraffne base II can be read
lily recognized by the odor peculiar to
parafiine."
I'VE can give you American sheep
men points on the growth of sheep IN
Australia" said NJ. y. Berry, OF Mel
bourne at the Knutsford this morning
American growers allow their herds to
trample down the range feed and to
eat II close to the roots so that the
grasses are easily killed ont. Now the
Australian grower has a series OF pad
docks and as soon as one is grazed on
enough the sheep are taken to another,
and so on, so that by the time the
round has been made, the first pad
dock Is ready for use again. But the
Australian growers have suffered severe
losses in the last few years, the total
aggregatlng 24,0OO, 900 animals, Still We
have over l00,0OO,0OO sheep left, The
climate and the excellent feed produce
the fine wool staple for which our sheep
are noted. American growers can not
compete with us. and the tariff might
as well be removed"
