MANSFIELD WILL RETIRE
Actor Plans to Quit Stage Before
Powers Wane.
BOSTON, Feb. 23. Richard Mansfield
tonight authorized the statement that he
had formulated plans for retiring from
the stage. It is Mr. Mansfield's Intention
to play In three more seasons, ending his
theatrical career In the Spring of 1900.
Mr. Mansfield is a comparatively young
man, being less than CO years old. It is
Ills desire, he says, to retire from the
stage before his dramatic powers wane
and before the present strain on his ner-.
vous energies shatters his health.
Beyond his three remaining seasons Mr.
Mansfield has no definite plans. He ex
pects to make a tour of the world, how
ever, and it is probable he will give some
attention to literary work. Two of the
leading American universities have of
fered the actor chairs in their faculties,
hut it is not known that he will accept.

ALGECIRAS, Spain, Feb. 23. The first
feeling of depression over Germany's re
jection of the French proposals is grad

hopeful feeling Is obscrvablo among the
delegates. This Is due largely to the ami

The discussion will be comlnued tomor

Morocco is unchanged, but the Improved

NEW WESTMINSTER.. B. a, Feb. '21
Again today the Westminster basket-ball
five carried off the trophy and defeated
the T. M. C A. team from Portland by
a score of 14 to 9 points. If last evening's
Play was brilliant, both teams did even
better this evening, and kept a ripple of
enthusiasm running through the spectat
ors' gallery from start to finish. Pretty
passing, clean checking and accurate
shooting were marked features of the
game, while swiftness characterized every
move.
Tho general impression last evening was
that Portland lost on account of the long
trip theboys endured prlpr to the game,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23. Archdeacon
W. W. Jeffries, an Episcopalian minister.
who has just returned from tho Orient,
says that the Corcans are being greatly
oppressed by tho victorious Japanese.
"When a Corean objects to tho confisca
tion of his property," the minister says,
"he is falsely charged with being a spy,
and Is probably shot or hanged the same
day."
The executions in some cases, Dr. Jef
fries says, "are of a.horrIble nature," and
he has brought with him a number of
photographs to prove the truth of his as
sertions. He says that even women are
not immune, and that it is no uncommon
sight to see them suspended by the neck
on one of the streets of a Corean city.
The bodies, he says, arc allowed to hang
In the streets for days as a warning to
tne inhabitants.
"The Corcans," adds the archdeacon,
"are reduced to a state of abject slavery.
and have been robbed of everything they
possessed. The Corean Emperor lives In
terror of the Japanese, a,nd he has fre
quently called upon our legation guard to
watch over him during tho- night. He
charges the Japanese with the murder of
his wife, and fears that he Mill meet the
