A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The British foreign office has so far neither definitely consented nor declined to conduct negotiations through U Hung Chang. In principle Lord Salis bury is by no means unfavorable to the recognition of the viceroy as plenipo tentiary, provided he can produce satis factory credentials and give guarantees that any arangements made by him could be regarded as binding on the government of China. It is not forgot ten here that In the negotiations which led to the Che Foo convention Earl Ll was again and again coolly repudiated by the Tsung Ll Yamun after he had given the British government to under stand that he had full power to ne gotiate. A good deal of Interest has been cre ated by the announcement of an offi cial organ In Berlin that no nggresslve or expansionist policy In China would be regarded favorably by the German government. This Is taken In some quarters as a sign that the kaiser has abandoned his militant designs In the far East, outlined In his recent speech es, but the explanation is to be found tn the attitude of almost all influential German newspapers outside the offi cial ring, which have given expression to a feeling of alarm created in the fatherland by the suspicion that the emperor desires to plunge the country Into a series of haiardous adventures In eastern Asia.

Era Matting Carpet Examine KID KNOCKED OUT IN FiVE ROUNDS Failed to Cut Corbett's Skin or Land Single Heavy Blow. AN IGNOMINIOUS DEFEAT McCoy Could Not Esdurt tbe Ex-Chaoiploa's Powerful Sluxiinj - Eijhtcea Thoa uad Dollar Go to the Wlaaer. NKW TURK, Aug. 10. The lor.g-looked-for meeting between James J. Corbett and Kid McCoy, under the auspice of tbe Twer,t.l-th Century dub at Madison Square Garden, Is over, and In less than five round.. Corbett proved himself the better man. Keen Judges of the fame who raw tonight's flKht declare that It was the cev-iet exhibition ever witnessed In the ring. It was through his superb feinting and heavy sluKglng that Cor- ibett pui McCoy down and out. Tonight, while McCoy land-d some xtmtrlng Jabs, he ,'ld no-, '-.it Corbett's nor did he land a single beavy blow during the con!'-st. On the other j hand CorUtt, when h dropp-d science and IcKan to slug, landed hard rights .. . . k M(,Cov... a vulnerable spot In the region or McCoy's heart two lefts divided by a right ended tbe battle. In the opening round McCoy show ed to much better advantage than Cor bett. McCoy seemed very confident, though careful, while Corbett was ner vous and 111 at ease. The entire round was taken up with the cleverest kind of feinting and sparring on" McCoy's part, while Corbett's work left very lit tle to be recorded. In the second round Corbett came up in better form, and his uneasy feeling had evidently left Mm. He gave an exhibition which could only be given by a man thoroughly posted In the In nermost points of the scientific art of boxing. In the third they got to each ether oftener. but It was In the fourth that Corbett began to take McCoy's meas ure. At times Corbett stopped his scien tific work and resorted to slugging, which proved very effective. McCoy was forced to clinch and It was then seen that Corbett was surely getting the best of It. , In the Sfth and concluding round Cor bett forced McCoy ii.to a corner where the Kid kept blocking and sparring for an opening to get out. Corbett swung for his heid but McCoy ducked under It very cleverly and Jumped to the center of the ring. Jim rushed him across the floor of the ring and by clever work forced McCoy back In to the corner again where he sent a right an1 left to the Kid's head. This was the beginning of McCoy's undoing. Corbett went to him, using both hands, swinging and stabbing and occasionally uppercutting with his left. McCoy saw that he was no longer able to ward off the big fellow's blows and he threw his arms across his face, hold ing his head down In the hopes of sav ing himself from a knockout punch. Corbett showered lefts and rights which straightened McCoy up, and then Jim swung a left which crashed into McCoy's body. McCoy doubled up and In doing s held Corbett's left glove with his right arm. Corbett then drove McCoy away from him with a right over the heart and. as the Kid went bark staggering, Jim leaped after him. landing another left smash on the same spot, and the Kid dropped to the floor and was counted out. The men battled for sixty per cent of the groes receipts which was to be divided, 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser. It is esti mated that there was about $50,000 In the house, so that Corbett will receive in the neighborhood of $15,000 and Mc Coy about $4,600. TRAIN HELD UP.

There waa a small fire by the track and I saw some men going down toward the baggage car. As soon as I reached the engine a man covered me with a Winchester and made me hold up my hand3. He took mo back to the passenger cars and told me to uncouple the mall, express and baggage cars, so they could run them down the track. They ordered Wood- cot.k, the baggage and expre.j man, to unlock his curs and come out. This he refused to do for a minute, then whn I saw they were goln to blow up thn car I told him to come out and he -lid so. "They took Engineer Henry Wa'.f r Meln, Fireman Woodcock, a fcrakeman and myself down the track a little dis tance and left us guarded by one man while they blew up the cars and safe. They bb-w off the roof, sides and end of the baggage car and demollnhed the next car to It. They put three charge on the safe in-fore they could break it open. After they got what they want ed they went to their horses, which were tied near by, and fled. It took about an hour to complete their work." OGDEN, Utah., Aug. 30.

In no particular hur ry to nppilnt a successor to Mr. Hunt ington, and that if only from feelings of delicacy, the board would wait some time before selecting a new president. While Mr. Tweed would not commit himself to any expression of opinion as to the probability of the election of N. E. Huntingtoa to the presidency, it is generally believed that he will be chos en to occupy hl3 uncle's place. Mr. Tweed has be?n mentioned in connec tion with ths presidency, but he has taken pains to discourage the sugges tion. It is possible, however, that he may be male chairman of the board of directors.
