cided improvement after the new

LAMA sHoRN.
The Ruler Of Tibet Returns to His

The Ruler Of Tibet Returns to His
Country as a Mere EoeIeslastic.
Pekin, China.-The Dalai Lama Of
Tibet has left Pehdn for Lhassa, his
capital, and his departure marks the
beginning of the end of his four years
of wandering over northern China.
The Lama started out from Lhassa
soon after the arrival there of British
column under the command of Col
Sir Francis Younghusband; he felt
that his holy city had been desecrated
by the presence of the Englishmen,
and at the head of large retinue, he
started on wanderings that carried
him over many thousand miles Of Man
chuna and China, always greatly to
the annoyance of the Chinese author
tiles for he was an unwelcome and
expensive visitor.
He came to PelSin last September, at
the urgent request of the Chinese gov
ernment, who wanted him to return to
his capital In order to make possible
the carrying out of certain reforms
The ruler of Tibet returns to Lhassa
shorn of his temporal authority. In
the future he will be regarded as a
mere ecclesiastic pledged to support
whatever reforms China desires to
carry out in his country. He will not
be permitted to communicate with
the throne except through the Chi
nese commissioner stationed at Lhas-
sa.
There was notable absence Of cere-
mony in connection with his going.
There were but small honorary paw;
lions at the railroad station as COM
pared with the many evidences of
the desire of the government to honor
him when he came to Pekin.
The position of the Dalai Lama has
been very much weakened by his COM
ing to Pekin, where he had been re-
ceived as a barbarian, and humiliated
accordingly. His religious practices
have been a revelation OF the debased
nature Of the famous yellow sect"
and the practices of the Lama and
his followers have invited the contempt
of both Chinese and foreigners.

Wins Unique Wager.

Chicago, Ill.-In his sensational race
to Ireland, which began at the Colise-
um here last week, Tuesday morning.
Pat o'Malley is winner of the $1,000
wager made with Jim" O'Leary, the
stock yards gambler.
OMalley arrived at BallyagTan,
county Limerick, the end Of his jour
ney, ahead of time His trip from
Chicago to Queenstown is the fastest
ever made between those points on the
eastbound journey and only once has
II been exceeded by west-bound pas
Ssenger.
OMalley left Chicago at 3 o'clock last
Tuesday morning and arrived in
Queenstown at IL o'clock Tuesday
night, London time. In travelling east
ward he lost six hours, so the actual
time consumed was 1853 1-2 hours.
On account of the heavy weather the
last day Of his trip was far behind the
Lusltanias schedule At II in the
morning the liner was 17O miles Off
Brow Head, and under ordinary con-
ditions would have made Queenstown
at in the evening. A big 60-horse
power automobile was waiting for him
at the Queenstown pier and the drive
across the country to Ballyagran was
made in 2 1-2 hours The distance is
between so and So miles.
A cable dated in time to win was
sent by O'Malley to his manager here.
The wager between o'Malley and
O'Leary grew out Of glass of cham
pagne last Tuesday morning at the first
ward ball. O'Leary told O'Malley
that he would be long time in Ire
land before he would have wine to
drink O'Malley bet $1,000 he would be
in Ireland in week and drink wine in
his old home.
