PEKIX. Feb. S. An evidene,. of the
tension csistinar between the Chines
and foreigner ia sbowa in a recently uu
is port act mat, which took pise ii
Tira Taia oa th occasion of tht birth
day of Emperor William. While Yuan
' Eai Kai, viceroy of th province of Chi
Ii we passing through tbt British art
tfaasent oa his way to make a foratal
visit to the German official one of hi
outriders wee truck by a Chime po-
Bcentea, enforcing tht rut of tha road
te keep to tha left A scuffle eaeued.
Tha yiceroy afterward ordered the sur
render of the policman for punisnment
After a meeting of the authorities the
British Consul-Oners! and representa
tives of Yuan Shi Kai, a full apology
' was drafted aad the policeman was dis
missed aad handed over to the Chinese
ffu-il, who proposed leniency. The
keroy'a magistrate, however, ordered
a punishment of a thousand stroke
with tha bamboo, which ii frequently
fatal and three months pensl servitude.
Foreign . opinion he;e insist that the
viceroy's demand for the surrender and
the extremity of the puni-hment order
ed were both deliberate;,- intended to
impress foreigners with a sense of the
Chinese authority. British officials are
bitterly denounced by foreign residents
for surrendering the polio man, a ho
was a British employe.
Tha foreign newspapers published at
Shanghai, Hongkong and Tien Tin con
tinue to dwell in apprehension upon anti
foreign trouble, but FeVin gives isu
sign of any hostile feeling toward foreigner.
The dowaear empresa received the
diplomatic body on the Chinese Xew
Year. At the audience she displayed
her customary cordiality. The relatione
between the court and the legstions are
ia no way changed. The open agitation
gaiaet foreigners is confined to Central
sad Southern China, and it is antici
pated that troubles, if they occur, will
be limited to these sections as "Boxer
asm" was limited to the Korth. Those
wheat predictions would carry greatest
weight, however, are most reluctant to
express opinions.
Undoubtedly all Chin is at a white
teat f pulithwl dicusion. Such in
tend feeling as prevails on the part of
the inhabitants has seldom been seen
before and makes any result possible.
A local outbreak may precipitate gen
eral hostilities Xo organised movement
against foreigners is to be di-wovered
except the American boycott. The na
tional feeling is griming tronger and
the peculiar status of foreigners in
China afford many points of friction.
The court has every inrtucenn-iit to pre
serve friendliness at the legation. The
dowager empresV supporters freely di-
cum the ixmsibilitv that riie may be
driven by revolution to eek shelter
within the walls of the foreign lega
tion. The tabi'ity of present regime is on
Inecui'f foundation. The death of Yuan
.Shi Kai would be a great blow to the
throne. Loral neOBpai and go-iip
demerit hi army a infe.twl with anti
dynsntic scret wiitie-, but the re
ports are dilficult to verify. Yuan Slii
Ki. howeer. is frequently threatened
with anamination and extraordinary
precaution are taken to protect him.
He is strongly guarded day nnd night.
The ever present menace to order in
the spectre of death overtaking the
dowairer emprens and thereby leaving
tie emperor, who fail" to command the
mnfidence of the people anj without
heir, surrounded by ambition, intrfgti-
ing offi ials with a retles, discontented
fopuluce behind thetn.

pa February 15th, Building Trades Will
Declare Sympathetic Strike.
NEW YORK, Feb, 3.-.U a meeting
f ri-pretentatixee of all the building
trades in the city of Xew York la'
evening it was decided to order the var
ious unions in the various trades to go
oa strike on February 15th in sympathy
with the Houemitht' Union. The eon
ference was held under the auplee of
the Central Federated Cnbrn and
was announced that the failure of any
union concerned, to support the Houe
Miiiths would mean the expul.-ion of
that particular union from the Central
Federated Union. Tlii resolntioa wss
unanimously adopted:
Resolved that on and a'tei Feb'
ruarv 1J, 1906, no member of the union
will be allowed to work on any build
ing or job where union men have been
locked out or are oa strike, or haw
been replaced."
Commenting on the above. Secretary
Ernet Bohm of the Central Federated
I'nioa said:
"This means that no union mea will
work with non-union mea who have
taken the places of the Houeesmitha'
Union."
SecMary Bohm said a copy of the
resolution would be sent to the union
this morning and that the Utter would
be requeued to send a prompt reply.
A German physician who had spent
several vear at Klein Popo, in the
African Togoland, say that the stages
of color through which negro babies paa
in tha equatorial regions are aa loiiowa:
At birth they are the same color as
European infanta. After two or three
mouths the skin turn a klae color.
Ten days later it is a light chestnut
-hade and it i only at the end of three
or four months that the -kin becomes
completely black.
It is said that if Bertha Krnpp I
ml -r of a citv, Harriet M. King rules
principality, as her Texas rsnrh eon-
sins one and one-half millions of acre
of land, and that one may ride for
ninety miles in a traight line without
letting outnide its barbed wire fence.
It is a large a the State of Delaware
and nearly twice the size of Rhode Inl
and, and far greater ia extent aad
wealth than many of those Germany
principalities from which have come
reigning liou-e of F.unp.
