NEW u HUNG CHANG.
Head of China Hoard of Foreign
 Affairs Statesman.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Another u Hung Chang has risen in China and his achievements are attracting atten- ton throughout the civilized world, He is Yuan Shin Kai, ex-viceroy of Chihli, now president of the Wei Wu Pu, or board of foreign affairs at Picking. He assumed the reigns of government in Chihli at a time when chaos and disorder prevailed in the province. His first struggle was opF' posing wildcat banks which had sprung up like mushrooms during Q regime of the provisional government and which were doing business who'll ly on deposits and prornlses to pay.
 Since the elevation of Yuan to the presidency of the board of foreign af- fairs at Picking, the state department has received very interesting ac- count of his public career, which was written by the American consul-gen- eral at Tientsin, James W. Ragsdale. Concerninwg the chaotic condition of Tientsin at the time Yuan took af- fairs in hand, MT. Ragsdale says: ! Thieves and plunderers had organ ized systematically and were busily engaged in committing crimes of every conceivable nature. To combat these his excellency organized a police force, and the villains were arrested, imprisoned ana, in aggravated cases Sbeheaded The result was that while at one time his excellency was hated and feared, he is now regarded as the ablest and the most patriotic official in all China.
 During his term as governor, Yuan established the best of relations with foreigners, and by sturdy honest eff
 forts won the good will of the natives as we'll, His advance even then was sought by the government at Pekirlg,
 and the best edicts were the result of his suggestions Notable among these are the promised efforts toward con- stitutional government, and the s'ip-
 pression of the opium traffic.

Harvard Desires to Race English Crew
 of Cambridge.

Word comes from Cambridge uni versity, England, that Harvard wants a return rowing match with the Cam tabs after the Olympic games next wear. It is not stated where the Americans want the race rowed, but it is inferred that it will be on the Thames at Henley. After the race last year there was some talk that Cambridge should come to America for the next race, and the theory was partly accepted until there was a statement from the Englishmen that they would only cross the Atlantic after the Americans showed them their stern, In other words, Harvard will have to keep going over until she wins, and then Cambridge will come over

PRINCETON BUCKS UP.
Coaches Believe CornelIs Victory
 Means Yale's Defeat.

Special to The Journal-Courier)
 Princeton, Oct. 2S.-Overconfidence in dts own ability is here looked upon as the cause of defeat Saturday, and the hands of Cornell, and the practice to- day, when the varsity lined up against the scrub team, showed much improve ment in individual and team work
 The coaches say that Princeton had a much better eleven, man for man, than Cornell. They think that the de- feat at the hands of the Ithaca univer- sity will make the Tigers go into the game with such life as to make vic- tory by Yale impossible.

BURKE PLAYS AT FULLBACK

Tn spite of the fierce weather yester- day afternoon nearly the whole Yaie squad were at the field for signal drlll lasting an hour. The victory Of Corneil over Princeton and the effect that IL will have on the latter team I@S brought several new coaches to New Haven to teach the Yale men new plays and to strengthen the line work Among these Is Foster Rockwell who saw tLe princeton- Cornell contest. and who Ill the coming two weeks will teach Hale the Princeton style of play TOT the p.s game now less than three weeks OIL Ralph Kinney, who was guard on rom cbav1in,s eleven, arrived and spent most of inc time with Brown and Goebel' o+hor coaches besides Head Coach Knox were Johnny Hall and Carl Flan- ders.
 After the hours signal practice over the muddy field, two elevens lined up for @ scrimmage. Burke played Tn cov's place at fullback on the varsity philbin played at left half back and Murphy at right halfback. AS Brides was not at the field Burch at left end alternated with Philbtn, playing on and back of the line In place of Paige at tackle, Brown, who has been a sub stitute guard, was tried, and Cooney and Goebel were the guards, Dimes run ming the eleven in place of Jones. After the scrimmage started the first eleven pushed the second eleven back to the one yard line, the advances be- ing made principally by the forward passing of Murphy to Philbin. One the one yard line the scrub team held the varsity, and on the half yard line tho varsity lost the ball on downs.
 The scrub team then tried to push the varsity back, not trying to punt, for the first gain. They got the ball to the forty yard line, where the varsity got the boil on a tumble, and by the accur- ate use of the forward pass again got to the one yard line, where Burke final ly succeeded in getting the ball over for touchdown.
 Bomar has sprained ankle and ! badly cut head Paige and Tad Jones injured knees; Wylie will be out of tho game. a couple of weeks with his bat arm; wheaton was at the field yester. day kicking with his left foot. The lineup:
