FARl Ii HUNG CHANG IS DYING AND
NO ONE IS READY TO TAKE HIS PLACE
Old sChinese Viceroy is
Nearing Life's
sssn - -. s CLOSE.

~ EKING, March 1.-THE health of
~ Ii Hung Chang is again a matter
of grave consideration to the
Ministers of the powers, Mr..
Rockhill, the American special commits
sioner, who visited Earl Ii yesterday,
says he is a physical wreck and appar-
emily in a state of utter collapse, al
though mentally as bright as ever Mr..
Rockhill would not be surprised to hear
of his death at any moment. The re-
moval of Lii Hung Chang by death or
ANY other cause at the present moment
would be very unfortunate. M. de
Giers, the Russian Minister, said to-
day:
Iii Hung Chang is a great diplomat
and his influence with the Chinese court
is absolutely unique. No other man in
China approaches him in this respect.
The influence is not temporary, but 1t
is particularly effective at important
moments in the history of China like
the present"
Senor de Colonogan, Spanish Minister
and doyen of the diplomatic corps, said:
THE Chinese court could not appoint
a. plenipotentiary of the same caliber
and having equal influence with the
Chinese and the foreigners. Although
many of the Ministers of the powers
object to his political methods and re-
gard him essentially a trimmer, never
theless they realize that he is the best
possible man to represent China in the
present emergency"

KING EDWARDS TITLES.

LONDON, March 1S.-In the House of
Commons today, William Redmond, Irish
Nationalist, gave notice that he would
take an early opportunity of informing
King Edward that he had no earthly
right to use the title Of defender of the
faith. The argument came up on Mr..
Redmond's question to whether the
title would appear on the new coin, and,
If So what particular faith was meant.
The Chancellor OF the Exche1uer. Sir
Michael Hfcks-Beach, replied that SO
long as the Kings titles remained un-
altered they would appear on the coins.
Then Mr.. Redmond protested and was

NEW YORK, March live read in
the cablegrams nowadays of the Lion
and the Bear" of England and Russia,
confronting each other on the railroad
siding at Tientsin.
The cable must have dropped an IS. =
The Russians have seized and are
holding the main single track of the
railroad and it's many sidings at Tien-
tsn
Tientsin is not a terminus, but there
are large freight yards, a network of
tracks on the road, which, when l was
there, extended only twenty-eight miles
from Taku to Yangtsun. l have the
idea that Russia bases her claim on the
railroad on these facts-and If you con-
sider them you will see where England
had a claim on the road and where she
seems to have relinquished it:
The English force reached Tientsin
ahead of the Russians. When the Rus
slams arrived they were better equipped
for railroad building than the English
and the latter turned the road over to
them to repair. And they did repair 1t
In hurry all the way from Taku, and
while the Russians were repairing IL
they had to defend it against small
parties OF Boxers, VINO attacked tnen
every. night, for the other allies had
gone forward. The Boxers had fortified
the line of the road with small forts
made of stone, and of the rails they
tore up, and they fought to hold every
yard Of it. The Russians fortified the
road, too, and had outposts every three
OF four miles along 1t.
II the Russians hold the same posi-
ton as when / was at Tientsin, they
have fine fighting ground should ii
come to clash with the British. The
Russians we're to the north of the rail-
road station encamped in. acres and
acres of graveyards. Some of the grave
mounds were as high as an ordinary
desk; some fifteen or twenty feet high
All would well protect troops in a
battle.

THE PREVIOUS SITUATION.

L
TIENTSIN, March 16, 1:48 p. m.-The
situation here could not be more seri-
GUS. The Chinese are enjoying the
spectacle of Russian and British troops
drawn in hostile array with the possi-
bty of bloodshed at any minute. Yes
terday the English railway authorities
put men to work building a siding near
the station. The Russians drove them
off for trespassing on their new con-
cession. The laborers, who were rough
y handled, returned supported by sew
eral hundred British troops. The Rus
slams responded by calling out their
whole force and preparing for battle.
Upon seeing this, the British desisted
from their purpose of bringing back
the laborers to work by force.
General Campbell, commanding the
English, and General Wogack, com
mander of the Russian forces, had a
conference and both sides agreed not
to break the peace for twenty-four
horrs. Information regarding the situ-
alton has been cabled to London and
st. Petersburg. Intense anxiety as to
the outcome of affairs prevails here
The Russians are intrenching them
selves in their concession.

BIG DAY AT BUFF 10.
Exposition Formally Dedicated in a
Blaze of OratOry and Brilliant
Parade and Electrical Display.

Buffalo, y. Y, May 21.-In the
presence of a vast cOncOUrse of peO-
pie, with ceremonial both cOnven-
tiOnaI and novel, the Pan-American
exposition was dedicated formally
yesterday. The day was fair and last
night the industrious, energetic men
who planned this great enterprise re-
jOiced in fattering success. The day
began with a parade in which there
were men from nearly every country
in the world and ended with an
aerial bOmbardment from flying
bombs and a brilliant electrical ilIu-
minatiOn. Between the two were the
formal exercises of the dedication,
with oratOry that took its theme
from the lesson of the time, prayer
for right, music, song and poetry.
The procession that formed at the
city hall and marched by way of the
main thOroughfares to the exposition
grounds was an interesting spectacle,
and thousands of people lined the
route. Vice President Roosevelt was
the guest of honor and when he
reached the hall the parade was
started with a vOlIey of aerial bombs.
From the shores of the Pacific Pres
ident Mckinley sent a congratulatory
dispatch. kilograms or letters of con-
graduation were also read from the
governor general of Canada, the pres
idents of Hayti, Colombia, Peru, Ecua-
dor, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Paraguay,
Argentina and SantO Domingo and the
governors of Jamaica and Martinique.
The first of the ceremonies on the
grounds was the fight of 10000 hOm-
ing pigeons. The pigeons, suddenly re-
leased from their captivity, rose in
great mass, circling round and round
through the towers of the buildings,
rising higher and higher, until grad
ually as they got their bearings they
darted away, first in pairs, then by
the score, until all had disappeared to
the four points of the compass, bear
ing their messages announcing the
dedication OF the exposition.

WAS BORN IN MISSOURI.
MIS- BONNIE, the SELF Confessed 0Iurderess
OF q Washington Census Clerk, Lived
at Macon, Also in Kansas.

Washington, Nay 22.-8Irs. L. L BO-
nine has confessed to the murder of
James S. Ayres, the census clerk in his
room at the Hotel Kenmore on the
night of May Is. She was alone with
him at the time. Mrs. Bonnie was
born in Macon, Mo. Her maiden name
was Lulu Ida Henry. She went from
there to Hamilton, Mo-, from there to
Richmond, Kan; from there to Bruins
wick, Ga; from there to SOrano, Fla,
where she and her husband had an
orange plantation. According to the
stories told by several persons, she had
been a frequent visitor to Ayers room
at all hours and had been very much
affected when he broke off relations
with her under the impression that
she had aspersed him, which allega-
ton she denied. Her husband is a com
mercial traveller, and was away from
home the greater part of the time.
Mrs Bonnie was very socially in
clined, and was constantly getting up
card parties, dances and other enter
tsinments at the Kenmore.

FINANCES OF HAVANA.
Capital Of Cuba Has an Indebtedness OF
S1R,235, S31-City Revenues Need
to Be Increased

Havana, May 21.-The commission
which was appointed to investigate
and report on the condition of the
finances of Havana says the indebted
ness of the city is S12,235, 931. The
average cost of the city expenses out
side of public instruction and some
other items which are betrayed by
the state are S2,25O,OOO. The report
says that after making all due allow
ances the taxable income of Havana
property should be S1O,OOO,OOO, or ST.
100000 per year. The water rates
also should yield about 100000 in
stead of $4,000 as at present. This
estimate is based on the fact that at
present only 1850 houses take water
when there ought to be 10000.
