ONWENTSIA MAN
IS VICTORIOUS
Golfer From Chicago Wins
the Pacific Coast Cham
pionship at Los Angeles
THE MATCH is CLOSE
A. B. Swift Defeats Walter
Fairbanks by the Narrow
Margin of One Up in Final

LOS ANGELES, March 12-In one Of
the longest drawn out games ever
played even by amateurs, the Pacific
Coast golf championship was decided
to-day in favor Of A. B. Swift Of the
Onwentsia Club, Chicago, and also of
the Santa Barbara Country Club. He
defeated Walter Fairbanks by the mar
row margin Of 1 up. The victory car
ries with it a personal gold medal and
the cup rests with the Santa Barbara
Club until retaken.
The game was played in the mud,
the recent rains having left the links
in anything but good condition. The
greens were sodden and the drives
carried with them all the mud which
could be pasted on the sticks, making
il necessary for those who followed
the players in the finals to keep at a
good distance to prevent being be-
spattered.
The game was featureless except for
it's length. Swift led from the start
and the players were so far apart that
interest was divided among the spec
tators, of whom there was a large
crowd. Fairbanks made a squirt,
however. toward the last and closed
the game with a narrow score. He
was favorite among those who wit
messed the game. which experts stated
was hardly a fair trial, considering
the condition of the ground.

Make Themselves Hideous.

AS If nature had not been unkind
enough the Thibetan woman heightens
her ugliness by smearing her face with
a horrible black ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind.
Her dress is not very different from
her husbands. Her crowning glory Is
her hairi Plastered down with butter
from the part to the ears, it goes off
behind into a sunburst of small braids.
to which is fastened great fan-shaped
headdress falling to the hem of her
garments. 1t is of spreading strips OF
red and blue cloth, Joined horizontally
by iron bands, and ornamented with
countless coral and maIachite beads,
silver coins and tiny bells. The one
poetic thing about a Thibetan woman
is the sound of her going-a soft, me-
lodious tinkle, belying the grotesque-
ness of her face.-Exchange

SHELL BEHEADS
A RUSSIAN BARON'S
GRANDDAUGHTER

PORT ARTHUR, Friday, March IL
Last night passed without incident.
The japanese squadron, which disap
peared after Thursdays bombardment
and naval fight, has not returned. Tn
Russian squadron proceeded to sea this
! morning and returned this afternoon
1t is understood that no Japanese ships
were sighted.
Although during the bombardment {
number of shells from the Japanesc
ships burst in the streets of the town
the damage to the buildings was com
paratively Slight.
! The new town sustained the creates
damage. A shell burst a few yard
from the house of NJ. Sidorski, a law
yer, whose wife is a daughter of Col
onel Baron Frank NJ. Sidorski, and h,
and his daughter were killed on tn
spot, the latter's head being blown of
Nine. Sidorski was injured by frag
ments of the shell, and a girl named
Waleritsch was wounded and died soon
afterwaTd in a hospital.
Chinese was killed and several Chi
nese were wounded. General Stoessel
the commander of the Russian troops
at Port Arthur, and his staff, while
watching the bombardment from a bat
terry, were peppered by splinters from
shell, but sustained no injuries.
On Golden Hill Lieutenant Wachtin
and one soldier were wounded. Two
sentries on Electric Cliff were wounded
A Japanese ironclad was struck by
Russian shell and slowly withdrew.
The bombardment, which was severe
did not cease until 12:45 O'Clock in the
afternoon.

Hard Times for Lace Makers. =

With all Frances prosperity lamen-
tatiOns are being raised over the decay
of the homemade lace industry, which.
says a correspondent, if matters go on
as they are going now, will be a lost
art in France. 1t is pointed out that
half a century ago there were still over
$4,000 dentellieres in the department Of
Calvados alone, who earned their 40
cents a day. In Auvergne there were
more than 100000. while Lorraine reck-
oned half that number Now there are
not 20O0 of such lacemakers in the
whole of Normandy, and Auvergne and
Lorraine can only show 10000 1t
is to the imitation trade, with
its machinery, that the mischief is to
be attributed. Out of fifty Partisan
establishments which once gave en-
ployment TO the women of a single
rural district, only three have survived.
1t seems strange, in an age so luxurious
as this, that the passion for real lace,
of all things, should be numbered
among the has beens Promoters of a
movement to restore the industry, with
the aid of the Minister of Commerce,
are appealing to fashion to help them
out. But they have powerful rivals IN
the manufacturers.-B Herald.

ST. PETERSBURG'S
REPLY TO JAPAN'S
NOTE TO POWERS

ST. PETERSBURG, March IL. 2:50
p. m.-The following reply. inspired by
the Foreign Office to Japan's rejoinder
to the Russian protest against the vio-
lation of Korean neutrality. may be
accepted as official:
Japan's argument that she was justi-
fed in landing troops in Korea before
the declaration of war. because she had
Korea's permission, and also that these
troops arrived in Korea after "the ex-
istence of a state of war" is without
value, as Korea in January promul-
gated her neutrality to the powers,
which received it warmly, Great Brit
ain even officially conveying express
sions of gratitude to the Korean Gov
ernment Therefore no state of war
gave the Japanese the right to violate
her neutrality by sending troops into
the territory. Even the consent of Ko-
rea, though extorted by the Japanese.
is without force, from the fact that
the dispatch of troops was not only
before the war, but before the breaking
off of diplomatic relations. as clearly
established and indeed acknowledged
ny the JdpdICSC
Japan's contention, in defense of the
attack on the Russian ships at Che
mulpo. that the port was not neutral
is false again, because Korea had pro-
claimed her neutrality.
Japan's denial Of malicious interfer-
ence with the transmission Of Russian
kilograms over the Danish cable can
not be sustained. A telegram to Baron
de Rosen, then Russian Minister to
Japan, at Toxic. sent from st. Peters
burg on February 4, was not delivered
until the morning of February 8. That
delay did not occur on the Siberian
line, as shown by the fact that a reply
to a telegram from Viceroy Alexien
sent at the same time was received the
same day Therefore 1t Is conclusive
that De Rosen's telegram was held by
the japanese and not delivered for two
days.
Communication with Pavioff, then
Russian Minister to Korea, by the Ko-
rean telegraph ceased in the middle
Of January. AS the Koreans were en-
joying friendly relations with Russia,
there is good ground for believing that
the interruption was due to the Jap
anese. Thereafter PavIoff used a mall
steamship or a special warship to com
municate with Port Arthur The Min
lister Of Russia in Korea on February s
therefore knew nothing of the diplo-
matte rupture.
Japan pleads that the charge against
her seizure of Russian merchantmen
before the declaration Of war cannot
stand after the establishment of the
prize court. Their seizure after the
declaration of war, being piracy, is not
defensible by the establishment of the
prize court, which cannot exist befcAn

RIVAL BOXERS
At ROUGH WORK
Are Preparing Themselves
for Busy Times When They
Meet in the ROped Arena
THE TRAINERS SUFFER
Are Pulled and Hauled About
Until They See No Fun
in the Days Proceedings

That Jimmy Britt expects Young
Corbett to rough it in the clinches in
their coming contest within the roped
arena is evident from the time the
Californian devotes to pulling and
pushing his trainers about in his pre-
paratory work at Crolls Gardens in
Alameda. During the last week Britt
has done little sparring, but he has
hauled and Rugged Spider Kelly and
Frank Rafael until they imagined they
were in the tentacles of an octopus.
Britt has observed his next oppo-
nent in several fights and figures that
the tactics used by the Denver boxer
when fastened to his man are wearing
and Jimmy promises to checkmate such
usage If Young Corbett essays to try
it on him.
Britt's programme yesterday con-
sisted of a trot on the road in the morn
ing and two hours of fast exercise in
the gymnasium in the afternoon with
the bag, the skipping rope and in wres-
ting with Rafael. When it was all
over Jimmy was in a healthy glow, and
after being rubbed down and cooled off
he withstood a battery of cameras for
ten minutes. To-day a large delega-
ton of Britt's friends from the Olym-
pic Club will make the pilgrimage
across the bay to feast their eyes on
Jimmy in action.
Corbett seemed to be of the same
mind as Britt yesterday, as he did an
immense amount of wrestling with
Billy Otis. 1t was rough work, and
there were several butting matches in
which the heads of the athletes came
together hard. Otis came in head
down to save himself and on one oc-
casion hurt Corbett, the knees of the
little champion shaking under the i'm
pact
Corbett was bubbling over with good
nature and was particularly pleased
when he sneaked in some unexpected
! uppercuts which sent back the head
of his sparring partner with a snap
Corbett gave out his weight as being
136 pounds. The fat is commencing to
melt off and the muscles are showing
under his smooth white skin. AS usual
his gymnasium was thronged with
visitors.

Oldest Shin. oldest Grey.

There is at present lying at the Brit
ish port of Newcastle a schooner that
is supposed TO be the oldest ship Of her
kind sailing under the Union Jack
Her name is the Dart: she was built
at Carnarvon seventy-eight years ago
and ever since has been in constant
employment. At one time she sailed
between Carnarvon and Liverpool; she
is now engaged in the coasting trade
between Arbroath and ports on the
northeast coast of England.
The Dart has another distinction be.
sides her age. She is manned by the

boxed a terrific six-round bout, in
which the former had the better of the

down in the first round and the last
time he was sent to the mat he was
compelled to take the count He got
up groggy, staggering around the ring.

a declaration of war. The steamship
Russia was seized in the waters OF
Southern Korea even before Kurino
had presented his note here.
The reply concludes as follows:
Our information regarding Japans
announcement that in future Korea
would be under her administration
came from NJ. Pavloff, and also from
the representative of friendly power
at Seoul. Japan's denial, consequently,
is fruitless. as also is the attempt to
refute our statement that the Russian
Minister and Consul at Seoul were told
to leave. AS conclusive proofs, in St
Petersburg on February 10 the French
Minister at Seoul had officially notified
our representatives that the Japanese
Government had intimated that they
should leave, and that the Japanese
had occupied territory in Korea. M
Pavloff was at first unable to notify
our Consul at Fusan, his telegram be-
ing refused at the telegraph office"

CLUB WOMEN NOT TRIFLERS
Club Movement Best Avenue Of Reach
ing the Public Conscience.


Z The Massachusetts Federation Bull
1etin gives the following thoughtful
and careful view Of the club woman:
1t is the testimony of nearly all our
advanced thinkers, and that, too, in
nearly all departments Of thought,
that the Woman's club movement is
one of the most hopeful, one of the
most progressive and one of the most
fOrcible of all the organized move
ments Of our day. Nowhere is more
genuine interest to be found or more
hospitality of opinion, and it must be
added that nowhere else can more in
telligent opinion be found.
This is generally explained on the
ground that the men are too busy;
that the women alone have time to
consider advanced questions. Even if
this were true, 1T would furnish no eX
PLANTATION of the woman's club move
ment. We really have plenty of idle
men who could give time to questions
either practical or academic if they
were so inclined. ~
The real explanation is found in the
fact that the club women of the coun-
try include a large proportion of our
most earnest and most intelligent citi-
zens 1t is a rare thing to find trifler
among them. AS a class they are de-
termined. that no sham movement or
half developed academic question shall
receive the benefit of their support
They are constantly in alliance and CO.
operation with all the best Of the
practical sources of opinion in our
