SAILORS PLAY BALL AT Annoy
Athletic sports Are Feature of Enter
tainment of Men from Amer
lean Fleet.

Annoy, Nov. 4.--Sports were again the
feature Of the entertainment on shore to-
day for the American sailors. An eleven
from the battleship Virginia defeated the
louisiana foot ball team, II to 0, and a
base ball nine from the Kentucky defeated
nine from the Louisiana.
The conclusion OF the games was followed
by the presentation of the trophies. The
Kentucky got the gold cup for it's victory
at base ball the Virginia received a gold
cup to commemorate it's triumph in the
foot ball contest and the louisiana got
silver cup in honor of the victories of its
men in field sports.
The building erected on the reception
grounds for the use of the Young Mems
Christian association was burned down
early this morning.

comment of the visit OF the American bat
tleships, but the central government and
the Chinese people, so far as the latter
are informed, are humiliated over the fact
that only half the fleet under Admiral
Sperry came to China.
The presence OF the American ships at
Annoy has again directed attention to the
decline OF American trade In China. They
are today only two American traders north
Of Shanghai.

effect on the markets here and to give ad-

FOREIGN PRESS WELL PLEASED
London Papers Regard Outcome of
Election with Great satis-
fsctiOn.

LONDON, Nov. 4-The press OF Lon
don regards the election of william II.
Taft as a matter FOR general and world
wide congratulation, as II ENSURES the
continuance of policy" which has been
greatly approved in England.
"The policy which Mr.. Taft has inher-
ited," poipts out the Evening Standard,
'1s in a large measure accountable for
the leap to the front made by America in
recent years, and her present position, as
a power among the powers Is due. to an
unusual extent, to MIR. Taft's labors in
close alliance with President Roosevelt"
The Westminster Gazette regards the
success of William II. Taft as victory
of the man rather than the policy. "Mr
Taft in his admirable record of adminis-
trative efficiency, has shown himself
safe, shrewd and resourceful, while Mr..
Bryan never recovered in the popular es-
TEEN from sowing his wild oats on the
silver question We have yet to see what
would happen in The United States II a
really powerful man were to appeal
boldly to the racial instincts of the
masses against the domination of the
wealthy men in the United States. Mr..
Hearst reserves that role to himself"
Pursuing the same idea. the Globe ex-
presses the opinion that the defeat OF
Mr. Bryan has cleared the way for Mr..
Hearst to obtain presidential nomination
in 1912. either as the candidate of the
democrats, "or some more extreme and
more powerful organization springing
from the ruins OF the democracy"
The Globe considers that the world at
large may heartily congratulate itself
upon the election pf Mr. Taft

Cincinnati citizens bent ON congratulating
their honored citizen.
'Is 'President-elect Taft the proper title

CHEEKY reply. "You know / am not elected

David Turpie surrendered his office to
Senator Beveridge.
The final figures regarding the result
in the house probably will show little
change in numbers on the respective sides.
but there will be considerable shifting
in the personnel of that body. A number
of surprises already have been recorded
and probably the most pronounced was the
defeat of representative Hepburn of the
Eighth Iowa district. Mr. Hepburn has
been in congress SO long and as chairman
of the committee on Interstate commerce
had been so prominent that he had come
to be regarded as almost fixture in
Washington. He was a strong supporter
of the presidents policies.
Two Changes in Indiana.
Washington was quite unprepared for
the retirement of c. b. Landis and Jesse
Overstreet of Indiana. Both hold chair
man assignments and have been long in
the service, That General Sherwood, the
independent democrat from the Ninth Ohio
district who sprang into notice during his
one term through his sharp differences
with his soldier colleague. General Keifer
is elected, is not surprising, as he was
elected In 1906 by majority of forty votes
In district which had hitherto been over
whelmingly republican. The defeat of ]. T.
McCleary by Mr. Hammond in the Second
Minnesota district brings to mind the fact
that he resigned his position as second as
sistant postmaster general to make the
recent race. Republicans generally are de-
lighted with their gain OF two members
from the new state of Oklahoma The
change will give the republicans three of
the five members of the house from that
state.
