Chin ese Minister May become Fer
soma Non Grata.
Washington, Feb. 10. 10y For the first
time since his residence here Mr.. WI
Ting fang, the Chinese minister to the
United States, is in the bad graces Of
the American government. There is d
general opinion in administration CIR
cles that Mr.. WI went too far and
violated his rights as a foreign repre-
sentative in his criticism Of Gen. Otis
in a letter declining to attend the din
qer to Gen. Otis by the Society Of The
Genesse in New York Thursday night.
Mr.. Wu's statements that Gen. Otis
committed an egregious error" in
prohibiting emigration of the Chinese
in the Philippines and that Gen. Otis
acted upon the ill-a4Vice of some one,
are resented by high, officials. one Of
whom declared that Mr.. WI had made
"a very bad break, repetition Of
which might tarnish a, brilliant diplo-
matte career" So far no action has
been taken by the government in re-
gard to the letter. 1t was limited that
somebody would make complaint
against Mr.. WI. In that event the
government would feel compelled to do
something.

Washington, Feb. 10.-In order to
solve the Cuban problem without call
ing an extra session the president has
consented to allow Senator Plat Of
Connecticut to try and get congress to
cover five demands of the United
They are: II
First--Guarantee of protection of life
and property of Spaniards resident in
the island.
Second-Pledge not to recognize the
bonded debt which Spain tried to
fasten on the island.
Third-Reimbursem Of the United
States of part of the cost of the
Spanish war.
Fourth-A coaling station and naval
base.
Fifth-Control by the United States
Of foreign treaties.
1t is proposed to attach the resolu-
ton to the army appropriation bill as
an amendment and let both pass or
fail, as Democratic opposition DEGREES.
Persons in positions to be well in
formed as to the presidents purposes
believe that an extra session will be
inevitable unless congress shall take
some action with respect to Cuba and
it's relation to this country. With that
matter disposed of there is good reason
to believe that an extra session will
be avoided. A strong effort will be
made to render an extra session un-
necessary, and with this feeling the
president is in full accord.

Avant Couriers of Intending Settlers
Visit the James River Valley.
From present indications, there will
be more immigration to the James riv-
or valley this year than last. Real es-
tate men report early inquiries. r. F.
Stambaugh of Cincinnati has been
looking over land east of jamestown
and in other parts Of the state. He re-
ports that the unoccupied lands in this.
section are about the best for the price
of any found. He is favorably inn
pressed, and says that at least fifteen
or twenty families will come here in
the spring.
e. Persons from Wirona, Mimi, have
also been looking over lands in Stuts-
man county. They expect to locate
settlers who wish to grow fax and
corn and raise stock. A colony will ar-
rive next month, it is expected.

KING EDWARD DOOMED.
Has Cancer of the Throat and His
Case Is Hopeless.

Has Cancer of the Throat and His
Case Is Hopeless.
London, Feb. 6.-King Edward is a
victim of cancer of the throat. There
is absolutely no doubt of this, and the
best specialists in the kingdom agree
that his days are numbered. His case
is exactly similar to that Of the late
emperor Of Germany, and also that OF
the duke of Edinburgh. Sir Felix So,
mon, who is in regular attendance upon
his majesty and sprays his throat at
frequent intervals, is authority for the
statement that the dread disease runs
in the family of the king and that
there is absolutely no hope for his
covery. The story is told that Sir
Felix, who is acknowledged to be the
greatest throat specialist of the en-
pire. keeps constant watch upon his
royal patient. His majesty knows he
is doomed, but he looks forward to his
fate with superb courage and bears up
bravely.

in the northern part of the state by

fourteen months. An investigation de-
veloped that he, had not been on the

ton was hushed up, but he had to sell
his REIMBURSEMENT to his son in order
to establish legal proof. Another min
lister moved his family upon claim
for a few months one summer, and
then sworc to fourteen months actual

Special Agent Lounsberry has re-.
ceived several letters from the depart
ment suspending entries, and in some
Of the cases a greater part of the
claims are under cultivation, although
there has never been actual residence.

ytctorla Laid BY Her H1sband,s

AZ slide.
Windsor, Feb. ST. - The last honors
have been paid to Queen yictorla. I1er
body now rests peacefully beside that
Of her husband In the mausoleum al
Frogmore. The flnal ceremonies were
more OF q pathetic character than any
Of the obsequies which preceded them.
Shortly before 8 o'clock in the pres
8ence Of the royal mourners. the Grena-
dfer guard OF honor lifted the coffin
from Its temporary resting place In the
Albert memorial chapel and placed II
on gun carriage Slowly the cortege
proceeded to the mausoleum. In place
on the gun carriage was the same re-
gala which attracted the attention or
thousands since the march togsthe
grave began at Osborne. Close behind
walked the king. Emperor William and
the duke of Connaught. wearing dark
military overcoats and plumed cooked
hats and looking pale and careworn. In
similar dull attire were the kings of
Portugal and Belgium. All heads we're
bent. The blue and gray Of the Ger
man princes redeemed the royal group
from perfect
Somberness of Color.
Beside these walked Queen Alexandra
and the princesses deeply yelled. The
rear of the procession was. brought up
by the suites of the kings and princes,
their vari-colored overcoats forming
striking patch of color. Down the
long walk, with the band still playing
Chopin's dirge, this quiet throng slow
ly made it's way to the mausoleum. BY
$3.50 p. m. the crowned bier had passed
into the old lodge which leads from
Frogmore inclosure, where none but
the family and servants were admitted.
The choir met them and the royal fam
lily and they entered the burial place
SO dear to- the late queen and ranged
themselves on each side of the coffin.
The bishop Of Winchester read the.
larger part of the burial service. After
further singing by the choir the bene-
dition was given and amidst the
privacy of the family tomb the last
farewell was sent, the funeral came to
an end, the mourners drove to the
castle and the crowd dispersed.

In the senate.

Washington, Feb. Z. Two impor-
tant measures were disposed Of by the
senate yesterday, the military acad-
envy appropriation bill and war revenue
reduction measure. The former was
under consideration less than an hour.
The only change made in it was the
Strengthening Of the provision against
hazing at West Point.
During the remainder of the after
noon session the war revenue reduc-
ton bill was before the senate. A de-
termined but unsuccessful effort was
made to reduce the tax on bank
checks and to provide that telegraph
and express companies should bear
the burden of the tax on messages
and packages sent. The finance COM
mittee's amendment levying a tax on
transactions in so-called bucket
shops" modifying the tax upon cigars
and cigarettes, and providing for a
rebate on unbroken packages of to-
5acco, in addition to several others of
4 minor character, were adopted. An
amendment substituting an income tax
tor the war revenue measure, offered
by Mr.. Morgan of Alabama, was re-
iected by a party vote of 81 to SS. The
bill then passed without division.
I'm the House.
Debate on the postoffice appropria-
ton bill consumed another day in the
house. About two hours were occu-
pied by Chairman Loud of the postof-
dee committee, who was a member of
the postal commission in the discus
sion of the subjects investigated by it.
The remainder Of the time was occu-
pied in debate upon the three subjects,
pneumatic tube, special mail facilities
and railway mail pay. It was agreed
before adjournment that the debate
should close to-day at 1890 p.s M,
when the votes should be taken upon
the several amendments which are
pending.
