4 POOH.POOH FROM SIR LANG.
Minister Won't Believe That . Chinese
Army IL Gathering Here.

Min!ster WON'T bellove That Q Chinese
Army IL Gathering Hore.
AMHERST, Mass; June 25.-Chentung
Liang Cheng. Chinese Minister to the United
States, who Is at his summer home here, was
shown despatch from Los Angeles. saying
that Chinese army Ia being organized,
drilled and supplied with modern arms In
the United States, with q purpose to over
throw the present form OF tho Chinese
Government.
Sir LANG said
Il have heard reports Of something like
that, but I have considered It 40 unimpor-
tant and 30 unlikely that have taken no
notice OF 1t. The idea that an army for q
hostile movement against China could be
recruited in fri"nt".y nation like the United
States Is absurd. In time Of peace this
country would not tolerate the formation
here OF such an army. but would suppress
1t at once. Evidence OF that can be found
In the action taken some time ago by the
Governor OF California, who had occasio n
to suppress some such movement which
was being organized In bis jurisdiction
Az for this army's going into camp In the
California mountains, that, too, Is not to
be thought Of
Sir LANG was asked what he thought the
foundation for the story was. He said:
Seriously, suppose that this story and SINH
lar ones get foundation In the fact that
efforts are being made from time to time
to enlist the sympathies and money OF Chi
nese In this country in political movements
which are developing In China. There are
numbers Of men who through failure to
obtain office In China work on the ore
dulity Of the poor Chinese In this country and
obtain from them large sums OF money

LONDON, June 2e.-The work done by

ing says the Philadelphians rowed half
the course in the morning in minutes "a
seconds, but they did better In the after
noon, when they reached Fawley in min
utes % seconds and the finish in is OF
second under minutes 8 seconds.
1t was not intended that they should
20 right through at top pace, but they were
instructed to go fast to Fawley and then
siacken. Dempsey, however, saw they
felt good and after slight slackeni1e they
were whipped to their best speed. They
undoubtedly made their boat travel
1t was a peri ormance that cannot be
caviled at, and makes out the Philadel-
phians very formidable competitors for the
Grand Challenge cup. though the Leander
crew beat them on a time test by nearly
four seconds.
The latter were two seconds slower to
Fawley, but with the Merton College to
pace them they afterward did better and
finished in minutes 2 seconds. Leander
rowed is minutes after the Vespers. Most
people are satisfied with Lenders perform
WV
better than the vespers as the crews now
are.
The Sportsmdn, referring to the differ
enoe in time between the Vespers and this
Leanders, says: This cannot be regarded
seriously, for it ia impossible for any one
to say how many seconds the Vespers lost
in their easy work after they had gone
half way, or to what extent the Leanders
could have improved their first half
The correspondent points out that tbs
vespers eased almost to paddle after
passing Fawley. He adds that it was
nice performance. hut there Is no doubt
that the crew was not all out There Is
nothing to be gained by comparison OF tho
performances
To say that one crew Ia better than the
other is altogether too hazardous. The
watch brings them very near He con-
cludes that the Vespers retain their popu.
larity to such a marked degree that they
are likely to become quite the favorite
