RETURN OF JOHN GOODNow.
United States Consul General Dis
cusses the Situation in China.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. John Good
now, United States consul general to China,
with residence at Shanghai arrived in this
city on the City of Picking. After a brief
visit to Washington he will spend his sixty
day leave of absence at his old home in
Minnesota. In speaking of the probable
outcome of the Chinese troubles the con-
sui general said: 81 believe a satisfac-
tory settlement will be reached along the
lines laid down by the President. Those
Chinese who are working for the integrity
OF their country are friendly toward the
United States and are ready to assist in
prompt and amicable settlement. The up
rising was by no means a popular move
with the great mass of the peaeeable Chi
nese population. From the very first they
deplored the acts of their fellow-country-
men"
In regard to the missionaries and their
DC sition IN China Mr.. Goodnow thinks there
is still a great field for successful work,
and their continued presence in the Orient
should be encouraged. He, however, is of
opinion that 1t would not be best to send
missionaries outside the treaty ports I'M
til peace has been proclaimed. Mr.. Good
now has good word for the American
troops which were sent to China, and he
also praises the work of q little band of
women sent by philanthropic committee
of New York people OF which Mrs. White
law Reid was chairman. to provide the sick
and needy with hospital supplies and COM
fcrts. Two members of this band returned
on the Picking. They are Miss Z. B. Ridley
and Miss NJ. +. Henshaw

Pekfng. which was destroyed during the

Eurnham's New Baseball Association
Sticking on the Ways.

CHICAGO, Jan. Nothing was done to-
OF the Western Baseball Association. A
temporary organization was formed last
week with the understanding that con-
ference would be held here to-day, to
launch the new league. None of the pro-
moters put in an appearance except Mr.
Burnham, of Detroit, who was appointed
temporary president. and Mr.. Manning, of
Kansas City. The meeting was postponed
until such time as full attendance CT the
prospective magnates can be secured.
Mr.. Burnham returned to Detroit tonight
with President Johnson, of the American
League, for the purpose of looking over the
situation there and helping decide on the
ACCESSIBILITY of placing second team IN
that city. The American League will have
the same team there which represented the
league last season and if the outlook is
propitious the Western Association will
also locate club there.
President Johnson before leaving for De-
troit stated that he would not call the
meeting of the American League before the
middle of January. The meeting will be
held in Chicago, instead of Philadelphia, as
planned.
The Tribune tomorrow will say: 1.-THE
new league struck snag in George Len
non, of st. Paul, and have not yet COM
pleted plans made necessary by the un-
expected state of affairs up in the Twin
Cities. without ST. Paul the Western
Association does not want Minneapolis. 1t
is more than likely the Burnham organiza-
ton will arrange a new circuit, leaving
out both of the Minnesota cities. Applica-
ton has been made by the Toronto Club
of the Eastern League, 1t is said, for a
franchise in the new league, but this the
magnates refuse to confirm. Toronto would
not be desirable addition without Buffalo
to pair with it in the schedule and in break
ing the jumps. But the Western Associa-
ton cannot plan on Buffalo, which is at
present member of the American League.
1t will be necessary for the association
people to await the action of the American
League concerning the dropping of Buffalo
or Indianapolis before deciding on Toronto S
application"

PITTSBURG, Jan. 1.-The American Win

an assessment of one-half of 1 per cent.
OF the weekly earnings of the members to
aid the striking window.glass workers in
Belgium. The assessment will yield $500 a
week, which will be cabled to the strikers.
The manufacturers also are said to be con-
tributing to the support of the strikers.
Since the strike began the imports have
fallen off from about 10000 boxes month
to less than $4,000,
The executive board of the Independent

ment of some kind will be made with the

that there will be stiff advance in prices.
