REBELLION IN CHINA.

War has spread its sable mantle
over the Chinese empire and peace
will only come, in all probability with
the overthrow of the Manchu dyn-
astv and the establishment Of a re-
public. The Han rebellion which re-
Gently broke out in China has spread
so rapidly that it has taken the
government forces unawares and
found them unprepared, for the
signs Of unrest and mutterings that
could only point to ultimate rebel
lion, have been prominent in China
for years. But the Manchus failed
to heed the warnings, and now tney
face the inevitable dissolution of
their power and may soon find them
selves exiles from their native land.
Thus we see that the march Of en-
lightened civilization is ever on
ward. Through all the years of the
past, China has been a sleeping mon
ster. With the largest and most
dense population her people have
been unaware of their power until
modern methods and enlightenment
began to creep into the sluggish
blood of the people and they saw and
understood the power that might be
theirs with concerted action. So
the work of the revolutionists has
been going on quietly during the past
few years, until every channel Of
trade, the government officials, and
even the army itself became so hon
ey-combed with sedition that all
that was required was a leader to
fan the smouldering fame into
mighty conAagratioh of rebellion
which would sweep all before it and
which will triumph ultimately in a
thoroughly enlightened country,
which shall take its rightful place
among the great powers of the
world.
Americans hope that the revolu-
tionists will succeed. The heart of
every loyal citizen of this republic
goes out to people of other countries
who struggle to be free, And that
the success of the revolution will
mean much for the trade relations
between China and the United States
is certainly true. In the past Amer
lean manufacturers and dealers
have had TO contend with bigotry
and prejudice, with the same infu-
enees which retarded the advance
ment of China and sought to keep
her people in subsection, denying
them privileges which citizens of 9th
er nations enjoyed. and America has
suffered from commercial stand !
point in the far East as result. !
But, with the establishment of
more liberal government in the En-
pire, and the domination of men
with liberal ideas aud who have
learned, by travel and education. /
that all their country needs is an
opportunity. and with the overthrow |
of the yoke of a fanatieal and heath |
enish traditional government will
come a more liberal foreign policy
and beue6cent results are sure To
follow, not only as regards trade
relation, which other countries may
bear with China but. more than an
else. tor the people Of China them
selves.

Don't make your town or your

man or institution that cannot stand

Reading Boxing Bouts
Stopped By Official

READING. Pa. Jan. 21-As a result
of the disgraceful conduct at prize
fight held by the Reading Athletic Club
District Attorney Schaeffer has made a
public statement that he will stop brutal
prize lighting here. He says:
Il am reliably informed that the So
called boxing bout held was a brutal
and anything but a scientific contest
The affair broke up in a general fight
and great disorder Manager Schlichter,
in statement he made concerning the
fight admits that one of the participants
was apparently maddened and wild, and
out of humanity for the other man
stopped the bout A contest of this
kind is not true sport, but is hurtful,
demoralizing, and debasing to the COM
munity and every person witnessing the
same.
Il believe in good clean sport of any
kind, and like to encourage the same,
but when it degenerates into brutality
l am opposed to it. In view of what
transpired 1 think we can get along
hereafter without these scientific
bouts" backed by parties living in some
other cities, and l shall use every effort
to stop contests of the character ex-
hibited last night"

MATCH POSTPONED
BY BLUE AND GRAY
Rifle Team Calls Off Meet
With University of
California.

Interest in rifle shooting at George
town seems to be on the wane. as is
evidenced by the fact that the team
has postponed its second match In
three weeks III the intercollegiate rife
tourney.
No one reported for the shoot last
night against the University Of Cali
fornia, and little has been done to per-
feet the team for match shooting. The
team was gotten together at the be-
ginning Of the season and entered in
the intercollegiate tourney. Interest
has been such as to warrant with
drawl, and the team may go under
unless much is done to stimulate COM
petition for places.
Scott seems to be the only man on
the team who is displaying form, ana
others are apparently giving the matter
so little attention that the team as
whole has given up hope. Experience
and coaching would do great deal to
remedy the failures of the team to
date, and the officials are looking to-
ward getting the team in shape for
the coming matches.

Murphy Invites Fans
To Give Game Ideas

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-President Muir
ply, of the Chicago Cubs, has issued an
invitation to Chicago fans to suggest
changes in the rules for playing the ma
tional game that will tend to make it
better. AS a member of the rules COM
mittee of the National League, Murphy
says he is willing to receive comments
from fans on two questions that have
caused great discussion lately. These
are:
Shall a base runner who overslides
second or third and is touched out be
called out?" and Should the batter be
given his base on three balls, instead of
waiting for four?"

VIRGINIA RUNNERS
ARE COMING HERE
Orange and Blue Track Men
to Be Represented in
Capital Meets.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Jan. u.
An unusually large number of track
candidates are in evidence daily when
Trainer Lannigan fires the pistol for
the getaway on the temporary track
established on the tennis courts.
The nearness of the George Wash
ingtOn meet, which will be held in
Washington on February 4, when the
1911 Virginia team will make its bow
to the outside world, probably brought
out many men who have not taken an
active interest in this department Of
athletics earlier in the season.
Manager Cecil announces that the
university will be represented in this
meet by ten men. Thirty-tive candi-
dates are trying to make the team'
and lively work is expected Of the
cinder men from now until a selection
is made. Brigham, who will be de-
pended on in the one and two mile
events at this meet, is at present con-
fined in the hospital with tonsiIitis, but
as his attack is not serious. he will
probably reioin the squad shortly.
The fact that no relay race is sched-
uled for the George Washington meet
deprives it of some of it's interest, but
at that it will be an important meet
for Virginia and will require her best
efforts to capture any honors that may
fall to her lot. There are about fifteen
runners trying\for the relay team, to
get a place on it being usually the local
runners highest ambition.
The outlook for this team, while not
so bright as last year, is good, never
theless. and with such old men as
Douglas, Williams, Wallerstein, and
Todd to look to, and with such a
valuable new acquisition as Driver, the
new relay team should sustain the high
standard that the Virginia runners
have already established in this de-
partment.

Young Donohue's Dream
Blighted by Kid Burns

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The light
weight championship aspirations OF
Young Donohue, of Boston, were not
advanced any by his ten-round brush
with Kid Burns, of New York, last
night. Donohue made good finish and
earned a draw, but from first to last
he gave little evidence of possessing
championship ability.
In the first round Donohue was ready
+o nrit, claiming that Burns had fouled
him with a blow in the stomach. Ref
cree John made him stay with the job.
This Indication of the saffron seam put
the Bostonian sin bad with the spec
tators. Donohue landed many blows on
Burns, but he lacked the steam to do
serious damage.

Russian Lion. Fails to Show
Impressive Form as
Wrestler.
ASPIRANT TO TITLE
is NONE TOO FAST
Baltimorean Shows Up Well on
Defense in Handicap
Match.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

II George Nicholas Hackenschmidt,
from the dominions of the Gar, is
sincere in his declarations to attempt
to separate Frank Gotch, the Iowa
farmer, from the highest title in the
wrestling realm he will have to show
a vast Improvement over the form he
displayed in Baltimore last night, when
he lost his handicap match with
Augustus Schoenlein, known in his
profession as Americas.
The Russian Lion failed palpably to
give even the slightest flash that would
Justify the belief that he is a better man
than the American who now holds the
championship. In fact, 1t is doubtful
if Hackenschmidt was ever so helpless
since he was forced to surrender in
his bout with Gotch after the Iowan
had made his opponent give lndlca-
tions of possessing a streak of the
same tinge as a quarantine flag.
Americas Worthy Rival.
BY this is not meant that Americus
" ould not make a worthy rival for any
grappler now in the game. but Hacken-
schmidt was so slow and so undecided
at all times that he never got a decent
held during the whole hour, and in that
time he had the Baltimorean on the
Hackenschnlidt is built like a fortress,
and, so far as defensive style is con-
.Cerned, he is virtually immovable. But
If he has any offensive tactics calculat-
ed to worry a man of his size and repu-
tation, he carefully concealed them when
he opposed one who was between thirty
and forty pounds the lighter.
PrOttlng by the discoveries of Frank
GOtch, AmeriCus was none too gentle
with his monumental opponent. He used
almost exclusively an ear hold, with his
left arm, while the heel of his right
spent most of the evening rammed up
against the left eye of the Russian. For
a while this did no great amount Of
limit it commenced to hurt, and Hack
eDschmidt was very evidently peeved.
AmericuS Tricky.
He crossed over with his big right and
hammered the hand out of his eyes but
as soon as he would return his arm to
Americans shoulder the Marylander
would lose no time in once more plant
ing the heel in the spot where it would
worry fackenschmidt.
In the course of the evening this little
trick Of Americus was repeated about
two hundred times, and kept the for
eigner in a position where he could get
no holds of any consequence.
The crowd that attended was probably
the largest that has ever seen WreSt-
ling match in these parts. Paying as
high as five dollars seat, the thTong
packed every foot of available room in
AIbaugh's Theater, but all of the spec
tators seemed TO be thoroughly disap-
pointed. and the send-off which Hack
enschmidt received was decidedly
trapped.

Negro causes breach.

The rupture in athletic relations be-
tween Iowa University and the UNI
versity Of Missouri, because Of the
insistence Of the former institution In
using a brunette football player last
fall, recalls the break between Harvard
and Georgetown some years ago for
the same cause.
The Crimson insisted upon playing
one Matthews in the annual baseball
game Easter week at Georgetown
Field. The Blue and Gray captain,
Sam Apperious. came from Mont
gomery, Ala, which was also the home
of Matthews, while Manager Miller
was a native Of Texas.
Georgetown made an informal COM
plant against the presence of a negro
in action on the hill top, but Harvard
would not change its plan. When the
Harvard squad came on it got a rather
cold reception and there was no more
games between the two universities for
three years.

Doc" White reliable.

In looking over the list of An,s-io.,
League southpaws, published IN Tb,,
Ilmes' L was particularly struck bv the
tact that of all the names none is more
impressive than Harry White, the
Washingtonian, who has been such a
valuable asset for the Chicago White
Sox.
Although White is considered here
more or less as a youngster. he hiss
gotten to be real veteran in baseball
and' II poll of the players on the cir
cult was taken, it would undoubtedly
result IN voting the former Georgetown
tWlrIer as the most respected left
handler in the league.
So well does White take care of him
self that he shows no signs of losing
the form that has won him such a high
place in the esteem of opposing batters.
