- LONDON, March 6 (Tuesday, 5
a.m.) Mafcking is to be relieved as
-soon as the British force, already on
the way to Kimberley, can raise the
siege. This force is I described vaguely
as "strong". In view of the fact that
the Kimberley light horse is under the
control of the De Beers Company, Lord
Roberts visit to KrrrTberlcy probably
h;id to do with arrangements with Cecil
Rhodes to use this company? of troops.
Rhodes and Colonel Kekewich have

WHILE RIDING ON THE PLATFORM
The Injured Mm Received Treatment and

While the south-bound Shasta ex
press passed the big trestle 'between
Woodburn and Hubbard yesterday, a
man riding on the platform of one of
the coaches lost liis footing and fell
off the train, striking the edge of the
trestle and falling to the ground be

sympathetic residents of that section
and conveyed to Woodburn to $ccnrc
attendance.
The unfortunate m?.n . was found to
have sustained a fracture of the right
thigh, and he was believed to liave also
suffered internal injuries. He was
promptly treated by Woodburn physi
cians, and as he appeared to have no
rnSeans, arrangements were made by
telephone, with County Judge G. P.
Terrell, to have him taken to the Salem
Hospital for treatment.; and he was to
have been brought to this city last even

elicited the information that the patient
had not arrived, and it is probable that
he will co'me today. The name of the
injured man could not be' ascertained
last night. Particulars received regard

WU TING FANG
The Chinese Minister Says That the United
States Has Become Such a Factor in the
Far East That it is Probably Time for This
Country to Extend the Monroe Doctrine
to Asia. :-
(Philadelphia Times. Feb. 23d.)
Wu Ting Fang delivered a speech at
the Academy of Jhisic yesterday jusf
after he was given the LL. D. degree
by the University of Pennsylvania which
electrified his hearers by its internation
al importance. In it he made the dar
ing proposal that the United States
extend the Monroe doctrine to Asia.
The subject of the address was, "The
Proper Relation of the United Slate;,
to Asia." He said: .
"Two years ago the president of the
Urited States delivered the oration be
fore you. and last year one of the', most
prominent and learned scholars, 'the
Hon. Seth I.ow. was ; your jrator. -To
succeed these eminent! men in this c s
ttnguished role is indeed, a great, liim
or, but when it is considered '.hat this
is the first time the privilege of address
ing you on Washington's Birthday has
been accorded to a foreigner you will
understand how prlud and grateful
I feel on this occasfjn.
"I am inclined to take this high com
pliment not as a recognition of any in
dividual merit I may possess, but as a
striking example of the friendly feeling
shown to the country which I have the
honor to represent. To the spirit ; of j
expansion also, unless I -am mistaken. J
which pervade the who' country, I j
attribute this departure from the usual I
custom, and as the united bta'es has
exten'ded its territory to the Far East,
rt is but natural that a great and had
ing university like this should catch
the contagion, and invite the represen
tative of a neighboring country to un
dertake this pleasant anJ honorable
task.
United States China's- Neighbor. '
"Though it is not ! more than 125
years ago when Washington- founded
this young republic with thirteen state,,
she has since so enlarged her bu n Va
ries -that'-the country is now composed
of forty-five states and a half dozen
territories. Through the logical course
of recent events she has acquired terri
tory far beyond this . continent, and
become practically a neighbor to China.
"It gives tnc the greatest pleasure ;to
say the relations between the two
countries are the most friendly, and, cor1
iitiat an ft I i-enlure tn nf wrth mn-
fidence the hope that' the fact of the!
United States acquiring the Philip
pines will not only not distnrb thoe
amicable relations, but will have the
effect of yet cementing them more,
friendly and closely. ; .
Should Study Chinese. :,
I think that if a chair of the Chi
nese language and literatnre should be
establisbect ft would prove very use
ful not only in teaching the Chineje
language to those students wishing -to
learn, but it might be the means tof
diffusing information on ' all matters
retating to China. I have heard that
both the eniv.erMties of Yale and Har
vard had such a professorship in Chi
nese some years ago,1 but as there were
"very few students the vacancy in each
case was not filled after the death of
the first holder. But the time have

found a chair of the Chinese language
and literature in this university.
"Constant intercourse between the
East and the West of f necessity re
quires a common medium of commun
ication. The story of Babel has a
moral to it. It was the confusion, of
tongues that scattered the people' of
the earth toward the four winds. Re
verse the process, and you will bring
the nations of the world tpgether.
United States an Eastern Factor. ,
"The sudden possession of new and
vast territories in the East with a
population of 10.000,000. composed of
thirty different races, speaking as many
languages, presents problems of a most
serious character for solution, and
naturally taxes to the utmost all the
ingenuity, which even statesmen of ; a
high order possess, j Hitherto your at
tention has been confined to this con
tinent, and the government of so large
an " alien ; population in another part of
the world is a new experiment.
"The United States has now be
come an important factor in the far
East, not only on account of her new
ly acquired possessions there, but also
on account of her steadily increasing
commerce with the nations in Asia. It
behoove her! to adopt a line of policy
commensurate with, the importance of
the situation. Last December I at
tended one of the numerous exercises
in ; commemoration of. the death of
Washington. The orator strongly ad
vised the audience to read Washing
ton's farewell 'address, remarking that
he thought that not ten per ccnty of
that audience had ever seen that doc
ument. I took the hint,' and upon my
return from that meeting availed my
self of the first opportunity to peruse
the address. I twas indeed full ot good
advice. 2 -i .
Moriroe TJoctrine Praised.
"What struck me most was the fore
sight and transcendant wisdom exhib
ited in every line of that address. For
a foreign policy what can be grander
than these words: 'Observe good faith
and jurice toward all nations. 'Culti
vate peace and ,j harmony with all.
These should be written in letters of
gold, arid serve as a guide to every na
tion in the world. It corresponds in
effect to what Confucius inculcated
when he said: "Let your word be sin
cere and truthful; and your policy hon
orable (fand jnst. ! This, good counsel
of WjishSngton has been a prtent fac
tor in, shaping the policy of this coun
try, arid warding! off foreign encroach
ments.: ; When it became universally
known that the policy of this young re
public, as foreshadowed by its founder,
wait that of keeping "good faith and
cultivating peace end harmony With all
nations 'a; favorable impression was nat
urally created far and wide.
. AU nations perceived that this coun
try was pursuing a just policy, and did
not dare, to give the American people
any cause of offense. And twenty
seven Vears afterwards. when Presi
dent Monroe issued his caveat against
foreign aggressions on ther American
continents. It wa$ tacitly-acquiesced in
by all foreign powers. ,yhy? Be
cause "it wai founded dn principles of
justice - an self-protection. It was
not entirely a new doctrine, but a i:b4
eral interpretation of tljie sound princi
ples laid down by Wajdwgtpn, So to
secure the recognition j, of the open
door' in China by the great powers,
which has recently been brought about
by your government through the able
secretary of state, is not a 'departure
from but a j continuation of yOurtradi
tional policy.
"The question now arises whether it
is not time! for this country to extend
the Monroe doctrine j to Asia. The
Philippine islands are situated on the
outskirts of Asia, and may be said to
be at the very door of that continent
If it was necessary for President Mon-
roe to declare any attempt to encroach
upon any portion of the American
.continents extending over 6.000 miles
from Alaska to Patagonia as dangera
ous to your peace and. Safety, what" shall
you say to this when you rind that the
mainland oa" Asia is not . more" than Coo
miles distant from thei Philippines? If
it was thought prope not .to allow
Porto Rico or any oft the islands on
this1 side of the Atlantic to wss into
the possession of any foreign power,
would it be advisable j to . look with in
difference jon any e;ncro-ichnients on
tlie mainland of Asiaj, especially the
eastern portion, whiVh is nearer ,.to
Manila thin Porto Rfeo-to Florida! I
do not apprehend aiy encroachment
will take place, but th; Monroe doc-
trine being the fixed! policy of your
government, the natural logic" is that
it should be applied to that part of the
world wh-re this country has posses
sions. Thjis policy is; by no means a
selfish one, but, as I (have already re
marked, iaj founded on justice and self-,
protection and if persistently carried
out it will! tend greatly to the preserva
tion of peace wherever it is enforced."

WASHINGTON. ! -March 5 The

pnblican of Montana., addressed the
senate in favor of seating Quay as sen
ator from Pennsylvania. - He argued
that the constitution contemplated that
the seats in the senate should-always
be kept -full. Referring to the prece
dents, of the Mamie,! Allen and Bevk-.;.. '
with cases, he declared that the silver
question really had decided those
cases, but added that, notwithstanding
the administration (opposed seating

that vote, and Allen and IJcckwith also
would have been seated as their cases
were dependent upon, the decision of
the Mantle case. . S
"This." he said, "in 503. technically
made the recorded verdict, of. the sen
ate the reverse of hc real judgment."
As to the Corbett-case. Carter said:
