STORY IS FALSE.
Denial of the Report That the Kins
of Great Britain suffers
from Cancer.

London, Feb. 6.--Prof. Sir Felix Sc
mon, physician for diseases Of the
throat to the national hospital for
epilepsy and paralysis, and president OF
the Larnygological Society Of London,
etc., says there is positively no word Of
truth in the story published in the
United States that King Edward is suf-
fering from cancer of the throat. Sir
Felix Semon wishes 1t to be called a
''seandalons invention and ridiculous
report" he hopes this statement win
be a final answer TO the cabled dis.
patches he is now receiving from Amer.
lea. He declares he has not seen the
king for weeks past and that when he
last saw him his throat and general
condition were never better. The ply
stefan adds that anyone hearing the
king speak in public would know in q
minute that there was nothing the mat.
ter with his throat.

Crooke-JaeIson Prize Fight, Which
Governor stopped at Belvidere,
Pulled on at GIlberts.

Elgin, H., Feb. 6.-The Croake-Jack-
son prize fight, headed off at Belvidere
by Gov. Yates, was pulled off at Gil
berts, Kane county, early Tuesday
morning. A special train with 500 on
board reached that little village soon
after midnight and adjourned to hall
where a ring was formed and the fight
commenced. There are no police save
the village marshal, and there was no
interference. The men fought IL
rounds. Croake did the heaviest work
during the first seven rounds, but then
showed weakness and was knocked out
in the twelfth. He was counted out,
but soon revived. Siler was referee.
Springfield, H., Feb. 6.-Goy. Yates
was asked Tuesday morning whether
or not he had been advised that the
prize fight scheduled to take place in
Belvidere Monday night had actually
occurred, and he said that he had re-
ceived no such information. When
asked what he would do in case such
had been the case, he said there was
nothing for him TO do, as there are Off
GERS and grand juries in Boone county
to cope with violators of law there.
The governor was then asked what
action he would take regarding a con-
test scheduled for this city next week,
and he said he would meet things
as they come to his attention in an
official way. He added, however: There
will be no prize fight in the state Of Illi-
nois while / am governor. il it is in
my power TO prevent, and the law gives
me the right to call out the entire mill
tary force TO prevent the violation OF
law

lowers to rebegin the onslaught. But

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
eiyn Enjoys and the Author
ICED Plenipotentiaries.

Picking, Feb. 5.-To-day will be hello
the first joint meeting between tn.
foreign ENJOYS and the Chinese pleni
potentiaries. Only Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching have plenipotentiar,
rights. The otner chinese have mere
~ the status of advisers. All the en-
yoys have agreed to maintain abso-
lutte secrecy and will endeavor to inn
press the Chinese with the importance
of similar reserve; but, as a matter
of fact, there are many Chinese who
already know exactly the programme
of the meeting. All rumors and re-
ports that large numbers have been
listed for punishment are without
foundation, as only ~ provincial au-
thorities have been named. These the
Chinese will be requested to punish
commensurately with their misdeeds.
There is private understanding that
at least half of them will be executed
or requested to commit suicide, while
the others must be Danished or i'm
prisoned.
The real subject liable TO cause de-
lay is the punishment of the officials
of Picking and the province of Chilli.
regarding which the ENJOYS have not
yet reached an agreement. There is
nttle doubt that the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries will agree so far as the
provincials are concerned, although
there may possibly be a few days de-
lay while the plenipotentiaries are
comforting with the court. Without
doubt III Hung Chang and Prince
Ching have been ordered TO protest to
the uttermost against the execution
Of Prince Tuan or any prince OF the
blood royal. This is a source of disa-
greement among the ENJOYS, many OF
whom feel that II Prince Tuan goes
UNPUBLISHED all others ought to go
free. The Chinese plenipotentiaries
profess to be unable to understand
how Prince Tuan can be punished
while hi. son is the heir apparent.
