Was Formerly Chinese Minister to
the United States.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 18.-Yang Yu, the
Chinese minister to Russia, died here
yesterday after short illness. Yang Yu
WAS formerly Chinese minister at Wash
ington. He was transferred to st. Peters
burg in November, 1896. In March, 1901
he was reported to be seriously i'll (this
was at the time when it was said the
Russo-C Chinese Manhcurian treaty was to
be signed), and March %, 1901, the Rus
sian foreign office was informed that the
Chinese minister had fallen, and had been
seriously injured.
EARLY in April, 1901, it was announced
that Yang Yu's illness was caused by an
attack of vertigo, following the receipt
OF news by him that the Chinese bank in
which he had deposited his entire fortune
had been plundered, and he had lost
everything except his house. The next
report circulated concerning Yang Yu was
that he had requested the emperor's per-
mission to resign his post at St. Peters,
burg. Not long afterward, April 10, 1901,
it was announced In dispatch from Paris
that Yang Yu had gravely insulted Count
Lamsdorff, the Russian minister Of for
eign affairs, during discussion of the
Manchurian question and that the count
ordered his lackeys to put the Chinese
minister out of the room and that Yang
Yu was thrown down stairs and very Sc
riously injured about the head.

Mankato. Mimi, Feb. 18.-An agitation
has again been started in favor of mu-
nicipal electric lighting plant, to do both
street and commercial lighting. Some six
years ago there was an agitation in favor
of q city plant to do street lighting,
bonds were voted, but the issue was en-
Joined.
Professor J.. J. Flather of the Uni
versity of Minnesota has been engaged to
prepare plans and specifications, and yes
terday submitted his report. 1t gives
figures on three plants, ranging from $780,
900 to $4,000, large enough to light the
streets and do some commercial lighting
at reduced rate from that charged by
the private company. Deducting the
profits on commercial lighting. the cost of
street lighting would be reduced by from
$1,000 to $4,000 according to which plan
was adopted. The more commercial
lighting is done, the less the street light
ing will cost, as net amount.
AS the city has exceeded it's limit of
bonded indebtedness, the council will have
to take advantage of the law which allows
councils to issue bonds for lighting plants
without a vote of the people, If it goes
ahead. 1t is considered doubtful whether
it concludes to go any further with the
matter, as it wishes to do some paving
this year. ~.
