BISHOP BAsHFoRD,s BELIEFS.
Divine Says Chinese, Not japanese,
Are Yellow Peril.

Bishop Bashford of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, now residing at Shanghai,
China, and representing this denomination
as general superintendent in the fowery
Kingdom. has written letter to friend in
Chicago, in which he says that 1t is not so
much the Japanese. but the Chinese. that
the Caucasian must fear. Instead of the
so-called Japanese victory over the Rus
slams being a blessing to the world and
opening the orient to American commerce,
he fears that the yellow peril is not alto
gether fancy, though the peril to the in
terests of the white race Will be entirely in
dustrial, not political or religious.
The bishop predicts that the initiative
ability of the Chinese. under leadership of
and defense by the Japanese, will at no
distant day result in their making and do
ing everything the white man makes or
does, only cheaper. The low cost of pro-
duction will not only enable them to supply
the trade of the orient, but by reason of
their much lower cost of labor they will
eventually control the markets of the world
instead of being patrons of the white man,
as many think.

rail-, former governor, jurist. congressman
and soldier, laid to rest in Hollywood
cemetery today. Thousands Were pres
ent to honor his memory lining the streets
as the black-robed caisson, attended by Its
armed escort moved slowly by.
The ceremonies were conducted in the
Second Presbyterian Church, of which he
was long a member. The pastor, Rev Dr.
Russell Cecil. and Rev. DR.. S. c. Mitchell
of Richmond College oficiated. The body
was carried from his late home to the
church on the caisson which had borne
the bodies of President jefferson Davis and
Gen. F1tzhugh Lee to their last resting
places. The casket was hidden by flowers.
Behind the caisson was led a riderless horse
draped in black and with saber reversed
Leading the procession were Governor Mon
tague and staff, attended by companies of
military from Petersburg and Lynchburg.
Behind the caiSSon came the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues and the Howitzers
Battery.
Escorts from Lee Camp, Confederate
Veterans, followed. After brief services at
the church the procession moved to Holly
wood cemetery. while a single gun in the
capitol square doomed at intervals in honor
of the gallant soldiers memory
among the hundreds of kilograms which
have reached the family of the dead Vir-
gfnian is the following:

FRENCH LIVING EXPENSES.
High Prices Paid for the Necessaries
Of Life.

The Economists Francois of Paris says
that the cost of living abroad, especially in
France, is a subject upon which wide
variance of opinion exists. There is no
doubt that the English on the average,
have one-third more to spend than the
French, and. all things being equal. more
mercy is earned in England than in France.
Further, the cost of life In England Is far
less than 1t is in France. The contrary
was true in former days
Butter in France costs 80 to 60 cents per
pound Swiss cheese % to 80 cents per
pound, and fowls 90 to 30 cents each Milk
is 10 cents per quart, bread 4 cents per
pound, and meat 90 to 20 cents per pound.
Fruits, which are grown abundantly In
Fra nee. cost twice much they do in
Ell gland; bananas and oranges, which AL
giers exports by millions, cost cents each.
Coffee is 90 to 60 cents per pound, tea as
mucf as S1.40 to 81 SO per pound, and sugar
10 to II cents per pound. Coal in Paris is
worth s14 per ton, and in many houses
heat is a great rarity. In LoL ION two
boxes of matches are given for cent, but
in France each box costs cents and the
matches are bad. Drugs are almost pro-
hibitively expensive.

POOL ROOM MAY OPEN.
Rumor That One Will Begin Business
at jackson City.

Following the announcement that there is
son City this afternoon, many of the sports
were seen vending their way to the street
car station There were many faces In the
crowd which were familiar at st. Asaph,
Wildwood keniiworth and jackson City
during the days when the rooms at the sew
erai places were open for business All the
sports seemed to be in hurry and appar-
entity anxious to get their money down on
the books. Since the closing of the room
at Kenilworth the hackers of the ponies
have had to be content with placing their
money with the handbook men, but this
manner of gambling is unsatisfactory to
most of them. They like to stand in front
of the board and read the odds that are
onered and see the names of the Jockeys
who ride their favorites. This manner OF
betting is more exciting than the mere
handing OF money over to men on street
corners or in bar rooms or cigar stores.
The attention of Commemorative Attor-
ney Crandal Mackey was called to the pros
pectve reopening of the pool room this
morning. He was seen by Star reporter
this afternoon and he stated that he will
DO everything in his power to close the
place Mr.. Mackey said he understood it
Is the intention of the promoters of the
room to operate under an arrangement cal
cuiated to give the impression that the law
is not being violated. This plan, he thinks,
Is something similar to the plan adopted by
the hackers of the game at Kenilworth 1t
is all gambling, he says and If the pool
room really opens he will proceed against
It.

Punished for Assaulting Wife.

When Mrs, Tibbs took the stand In the
Police Court today with one side of her face
so badly swollen that her eye was closed,
and with a bad bruise over the eye most
of her story had been already told to Judge
Kimball 1t was the result of a family row,
she said, and she had been kicked in the
eye. Judge Kimball's opinion of the assault
was one year less day In the District
Jail for Joshua Tibbs. And Tibbs began
his long sentence this afternoon.
Tibbs and his wife have been living to-
gether for the past twenty one years, and
there have not been until recently any Sc
rious family quarrels. But on Saturday
Tibbs was in an ugly mood and when he
met his Wife he Knocked her down. she said.
and then kicked her in the eye. Precinct
Detective Burlfngame learned of the as
sault and he took Tibbs into custody

On Charge of HOUSEKEEPING.

The appearance of colored man in a room
in the house of Nicholas Giovanni. 20s G
street northwest, about 2:30 o'clock this
morning. aroused the occupants of the
house, who proceeded to punish the intru
der After several men in the house had
rendered it impossible for him to get away
they called for help. Policeman Dawson of
the sixth precinct was not far away and
responded. The colored man was taken to
the station, where he gave his name as
Charles Lee. His home, he told the police,
is at 21S C street southwest. Lee the police
allege. was arrested at one time for robbing
a freight car on the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad of quantity of oranges,
and was sent to prison for a year.
II thought l was in my own house" was
the prisoners explanation of his presence
In the house of Giovanni this morning.
This statement was not believed, and he
was placed behind the bars to be held 10 an
swer charge of HOUSEKEEPING. The pris-
oners face was somewhat dIsfigured and
sore when he reached the station, and it
was found necessary to give him medical
treatment. He was in his stocking feet

KING OSCAR GRIEVED.
Says Norwegians Place Responsibility
for Rupture on Him.

A cable dispatch from Paris to the New
York Sun contains a report of an interview
had by the correspondent of the Temps with
King Oscar. His majesty said the Nor
wegians had acted badly, and all the more
so because they had sought to throw on
hir' the responsibilities which rested on
the. entirely, and because they had en-
deavored to make foreign nations believe
he had rendered rupture inevitable by
declaring that it was impossible for him
to form a new Norwegian ministry when
Prime Minister Hagerup resigned.
Il may say pursued his majesty, that
/ have done for the Norwegians everything
which the constitution allowed, but j was
king of Sweden as well as of Norway, and
in that capacity l could not sign acts con-
trary to the interests of my Swedish sub
jects. The Norwegians reproach me with
what has been strict impartiality. My
conscience tells me that l always acted for
the best toward my two peoples.
THE Norwegians dethroned me, giving
as their reason for the action the false pre-
text of the consulate question. L was
ready to go as far as wisdom would allow,
but 1 could not entertain the idea of two
distinct ministries of foreign affairs. This
would have been the very negation of all
foreign policy. l proposed one common
minister of foreign affairs. responsible to
the Norwegian storthing and the Swedish
Riksdag, which would give the maximum
of guarantees.
In conclusion the king said: "No, there
viii not be another union Those who have
sown injustice will gather its fruits. Per-
sonaly l am persuaded that none of my
sons or grandsons will be King of Norway.
Neither the queen nor myself desires TO
be separated from any OF our children. II
one of my family occupied the throne Of
Norway he would be reproached with act
ing not as the king of that country, but
as my son. 1t would be all one to me-
