Minister WI Notified of Ii Hung
Chang's Death.
rHE MANCHURIAN TREATY In DISPUTE
Nothing Known at the Legation of
Prospective Change.
READY FOR A TRANSFER

Minister WI Ting Fang has received from
Pekin an official notification of the death of
Ii Hung Chang, sent in answer to a dis
patch from him requesting confirmation of
the news of Earl Lis death.
The State Department mas never had a
copy of the treaty negotiated by Ii Hung
Chang and the Russian agent at Pekin
relative to Manchuria, to which reference
was made in the published accounts of Ii
Hung Changs death. But our government
has naturally kept close eye on the Ge-
velopments in that quarter, having, next
to Japan, perhaps a larger legitimate in
terest than any other country than the
two principals to the treaty. AS the ne
gotiations have been going on for months
past it was unavoidable that some details
should leak out, so that all the powers
signatory to the protocol have what is be-
lieved to be generally accurate idea of
the scope of the proposed convention which
has now been blocked by the death Of Ii
Hung Chang. Officially our government is
accepting the Russian pledges of pur-
pose to withdraw from Manchuria in a
reasonable time as bona tide, and finds no
reason to question the integrity Of the
Russian purpose. Meanwhile, following a
practice inaugurated five or six years ago,
a United States warship, the VicksburS,
has been ordered to winter at Niuchwang,
the principal port of Manchuria.
1t is stated at the Chinese legation that
the minister has not yet been informed of
his reported relief Chinese minister at
Washington. AS already stated, the min
lister will not be surprised at such news.
He has been minister at Washington tince
1897. and would undoubtedly welcome a
chance to return to his native land. al
though it is equally true that he will not
want to remain there permanently. The
minister states that he hasyno idea as to
what post will be assigned him if he is re-
1ieved Of his present one. 1t was said a
short time ago that an important post In
the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs
awaited him, but now all the posts in that
branch of the government have been filled.
1t is felt here that the appointment of

THE ILLINOIS SELECTED.
Will Be Flagship of Admiral Crown
inshieId on the Europeun Statian

The battle ship Illinois will be assigned
as the flagship of Rear &dmiraI Crownin-
shield. chief of the bur IL of navigation.
when that officer takes command of the
European station. The Illinois is one of the
finest and most formidable ships in the
navy. and in view of the approaching cor
on&tton ceremonies il has been deemed adj
Visable to have larger ship at the head
OF the European squadron on that occa-
sion than the Olympia, which had been
originally selected for that assignment.
Some surprise Is expressed at this change
inaSmuch as it had been generally under
stood that the Olympia had been fitted I'D
az great expense for this special service
Ihat vessel was Admiral Dewey's flagship
In the memorable battle of Manila bay and
since Its reconstruction at the Boston navy
yard, IS one of the most elegant ships in
the navy and better adapted for the pur-
poses OF a flagship than probably any other
vessel Although the officials of the Navy
department are not inclined to be commnn-
lcative on the subject there is an impress
sion that the Olympia is being held in re-
serve for the purpose of taking Admiral
Dewey to England as the special represent
tative of the United States navy on the or-
casion of the coronation of King Edward
VII. If that is not done it is possible that
the Olympia may be made the flagship of
the North Atlantic squadron in place of the
battle ship kearsarge, which will soon re-
qJiire an Overhauling.
