BIRMINGHAM WINS
 IN BOWLING CONTEST
PICKED TEAM FROM CINCINNATI REDS BEATEN BY SCORE OF 1161 TO 114s IN FlVE.HANDED GAME OF QUlNTETTE.

A picked team of bowlers from the Cin- cinnati National league baseball team was defeated by a picked club from Birming- ham last night by a score of 116l pins to 1149, The game selected was quintette, In which five pins are used. In this large scores are very difficult and the record made last night is creditable, though not up to the standard. The games were rolled on the Standard bowling room alleys and a large crowd of athletes were present.
 Out of the five games rolled Birming- ham won four, though several of them were by very close margins.
 Joe Kelley, manager of the Cincinnati Baseball club, made the highest score and incidentally his work at the end of the first game was the feature of the nights contest Kelleys total score was 254. The nearest to him was Hummer who stacked up record of PA. Wall of Birmingham made 21. while Stevens rolled an even 24O.
 As will be seen from the score, Birmlng- ham won by the narrow margin of twelve pins
 At times the contest was very exciting, and when Kelley made three strikes at the end of the first game he was given 2 round of applause.

 Pershing was surveying the west shore lands when the Bacolodians opened on his advance and provoked the fight.

After crossing a deep moat and entering the fort the Americans engaged the Moros, bayonets against krisses.
 A hundred of the defenders were killed, including the datto of Panandungan, and many were wounded. Only three Ameri- cans were wounded. After the capture of the fort 1t was destroyed.

YUNG LU IS DEAD.
Was Comptroller of Finances in the
 Chinese Government.

Pekin, April 10.-Yung Lu, the comp troller of finances and first grand secre- tary, Is dead.
 Yung Lu was a Manchu. and at the time of the beginning of the boxer outbreak was yiceroy of the province of Pc Chi Lii, and generalissimo of the Chinese army. He obtained his post of generaIissimo as a reward for crushing the reform party in China.
 Yung Lu was held to be the real author of the anti-foreign outbreak in Pekin and Tien Tsin. and he commanded the best disciplined troops which opposed the al- lies. This fact was recalled by foreigners when, in 1901, he was awarded the two- eyed peacock feather flor protecting for eigners against the boxers"
 Yung Lu's death removes the greatest power In the Chinese government except the dowager empress, and many think the dowager empress was under his domina- tion. While outwardly friendly to for eigners since he returned to court, there is no reason to believe that Yung Lu was really less bitter against them than when he was one of the leaders of boxerism.
