The Passing of Mrs. WI.

Washington, Feb. 28.-There are
many diplomats and government of
icials in Washington who view with
regret not unmixed with relief, the
passing from the stage of information
al affairs of VT Ting Fang, former
Chinese minister to the United States
Peru and Spain. When on July IS,
1902, Mr.. WI was ~succeeder as minis
ter by Liang Chen Tulg, he returned
to China to become a member of the
wei WI pu, the Chinese board of for
eign affairs. Las summer he resign
ed from this position and was given
an unimportant post in the interior
Now he has also resigned this posit-
ion because of ill health, and retired
from public life, perhaps orever.
With the passing of Mr.. WI the en-
pire of the dragon has lost its most
able official, one whose life has been
devoted to the cause of placing China
among the great nations of the world.
1t was this enthusiasm neither more
nor less, that cost him his official
head.
OF course, WI resigned" from his
last post just as he had resigned from
others. OF course, cunning old Tsu
Hsi expressed her deep and poignant

Amongthe things stolen were five
diamond crystals, thirteen gold coins,
ranging In value from 81 to $50, a qu-
antity of gold dust, a few specimens
of platinum and a bar of silver, the
whole valued at $500. Among the
coins stolen and later recovered was
a IS piece made in North Carolina and
having great value because of its Ear-
ity. 1t is thought that the robberies
extended over a period of several
weeks. The methods of the thief
were exceedingly simple, he having
waited until there were but few peo-
pie in the building then pried open
the cabinets with some sharp i1stru-
ment. AS a result of the robberies
the force of watchmen at the museum
has been greatly increased and the
greatest vigilance win be exercised to
prevent a REPETITION of such thefts.

international Soccer Match

New York, Feb. 28.-The committee
in charge of the selection OF the all
American Association football team,
t. AXE part in the first international
soccer game ever played, commenced
its work today. The game will be
played against a team of the best
players on England, on the grounds
of the Crystal palace in London, in
April. The coming contest has attrac
ted wide attention, both in this coun-
try and England, and scores of appli-
cations for place on the American
have been received from soccer play
ers all over the country. The players
will be selected purely on their merits
influence counting nothing, n every
contestant will be required to earn a
place on the team by superior play
ing. Twenty-Five or thirty men will
be selected from the contestants and
these will meet in a series of practice
matches on Staten Island for the pur-
pose of selecting the 1nal team. An
English professional soccer player
has been secured to coach the team
during the two weeks prior to sailing
for London. Upon it's arrival there
the team will go directly to Preston
park at Brighton, where one week
will be devoted to practice before the
game. Only one game will be played
and the team will return to America
a day or two afterward.
Upon the occasions of the visits of
the Pilgrims and Cornithian English
soccer teams to this country all games
were played with a selected from
the districts where the contests took
place. The team to go to England
will be made up of players from all
parts of the country, and this plan
should result in a formidable aggre-
cation. The contest will at least re
suit in a new departure in soccer foot
ball, placing the United States in the
same class with England, Australia,
Ireland and South Africa.

regret with much %volubility and with
her tongue in her cheek. The en-
press dowager who guides the Chinese
junk Of state has learned well the roy
al trick of saying one thing and NEAR
ing another. No one at all familiar
with the Chinese affairs doubts for a
moment that the retirement of WI
was brought about through the mach
nations of Tsu Hsi and the members
of the wei WI pu. There was too
much modern furniture stored in the
cralial appendage of Mr.. WI. 1t
needs be Topped OFF, at least officially.
Not hat Mr.. WI has yer advcoat-
ed turning China ove to b white

the Chinese" has always been his
slogan. But it was a modern China
that he hoped for and worked for. a
China developed to the full extent of
its great possibilities, girded with rail
roads and telegraphs, Astounding in
factories and its m protected
and it's place among the great powers
of earth rendered secure by an army
and navy such as no other country
could afford and which all would fear
That is why the regret felt by the di-
plomats at Washington over the
downfall of Mr.. WI is also tinged
with relief, A modernized China is
a bugaboo which may well ~frighten
the foreign devils.

THEAusTRALlAN WONDER
San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 28.-The
coming Of Bill S~quires. the Austria
liam heavyweight champion, to this
country has aroused great curiosity
among the sports, but most of them
take the wonderful claims made for
the fighter with several grains of
salts. Squires has heretofore met on
ly Australian fighters. most of whom
would he easy marks for any third
class American heavyweight, and it
is more than likely that he will not
loom up so formidable when he goes
up against something ven family re-
sembling the real goods. Squires' lon
gest battle was with Peter Felix, the
negro heavyweight champion of Aus
tralia, who lasted seven rounds be-
fore the o1slaughts of the burly min
er- Jack johnson the second rate
American pub who is now barnstorm-
ing in Australia, last week at Sydney
sent Felix to the foo for b count
in exactly two minutes. That is
about all the reliable dope there is on
Squires, and it is hardly favorable to
the Australian wonder if III should
enter the ring even with a fighter of
the class of Joseph Francis Anthony
Hagan, sometimes known to fame as
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien.

New York Sporting Gossip.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The fight be-
tween Tommy Ryan and Hugo Kelley
for the middle weight championship
of the world, which was scheduled to
be pulled OF It Rochester tonight has
been postponed until next Monday
night, The delay was made at h re-
quest of Eddie Mcbride of Buffalo,
who will referee the bout, and the big
crowd of Buffalo sports. The bout
will go six rounds and the men will
weigh in at 15S pounds at 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon. Seventy per cent
of the gross receipts will go to the
fighters, divided so per cent to the
winner and 40 per cent to the loser.
Kelley has been doing his training
stunts in Harlem, devoting his time
mainly to road work, with a little in
door work in the down town gymna-
SUM. His trainers are exerting their
efforts to Increase his speed and clev-
erness, considering that his wallop-
ing abilities are already sufficiently
developed. Tommy Ryan is getting
into condition for the mill at his Mi
chigan fruit farm. His manager
states that he is need of but little
training as he Is already in the best
OF condition. It is likely that a big
squad or New York night fans viii go
up to Rochester to witness the en-
counter.
