that some of the veterans had told him
in person that they wanted their pen
sions back SO that they could return
permanently to their homes, and that
one of these was from Richmond

MulLerin of Richmond Williams, {"
responded Mr.. Kelly. Mr.. Kelly fur
Their said that many of the veterans
wanted TO return home because there

home, and they were dissatisfied.

American engineer. according to the
London Mail. has just completed new
system of suspended bridge tramways
for unloading coal from steamers In
Alexandria. The present apparatus Is
the first that has been installed in AT

further success. The work is done au'
tomatically and only occupies one
fourth of the time necessitated by man.

ty-one hundred and twenty tons OF
coal in ten hours is the unloading ca

Ii LUNGS SUCCESSOR.
Facts About Yuan Shi Kai and Wang
Wen ShaO.

Wen ShaO.
Yuan Shi Kai, who succeeds Ii Hung
Chang as viceroy of Pechili, is the best
appointment that could have been
made from all China. according to Mr.
Rockhill, the special commissioner of
the United States at Peking He is
about forty-five years of age and came
originally from the province Of Human,
where he began his public career as a
military officer says Washington dis
patch to the New York Tribune. He
was made minister to Korea and for
many years ably defended Chinese in
terests in that troubled country AS
governor of Shangtung he showed sur
prising ability i'll tranquiliZing that
dangerous province, while his gift for
diplomacy was exercised fully in pre-
venting friction between the turbulent
population Of tie peninsula and the
Germans when the latter were steadily
encroaching from their original holding
at kiaochau on the north coast. AS a
military man Yuan showed his ability
by the organization Of what is undouDt-
edly the best military force in China.
and they were his troops that occupied
Picking last September when the for
eign forces were withdrawn.
Wang Wen Shao, who is made dep
uty viceroy of Pechili, is also man OF
marked ability. Fortunately he always
has been friendly to foreign ideas and
is not reactionist. He was one of the
grand secretaries of state and is at
present one of the two ministers APP
pointed to form the new Chinese for
eign office, which will replace the
tsung Ii yamen. Wang is man of af-
fairs and was himself member of the
tsung Ii yamen some years ago, besides
having been director of mines and rail-
ways. He has been with the imperial
court ever since 1t fed from Peking.
The records show that he always has
exerted his influence in the direction OF
reforms.

reaches an enormous sum. The gov
