"I am satisfied with the verdict of not

the nine preachers and Presiding Elder

somewhere.
"Yes, I am still supeiintendent of the

No Prospect of Czar Relinquishing
Manchuria Now Railway Exten
sions as Excuses for Appropriation
of More Territory Troops Not to
Be Withdrawn.
By i:elualie ire from The Assoiialcd Pre).
Victoria, April 2. Dr. "W. A. P. Mar
tin, who a month ago resigned the
prlnclpalBhlp of the Imperial Chinese
college In Pekln und since has been
offered a similar position with the
Chinese university In Wii Chang, has
arrived here by the steamship Empress
of Japan. Dr. Martin was in Pekln
during the siege.
"China has completed a treaty with
the foreign powers and all is quiet
now," he said, "but how long it will
remain a placid country no one can
say. The recent tieaty of Great Brit
ain and Japan guarantees peace for a
time only, for there is a feeling tend-'
ing to the disintegration of the coun
try among some of tho powers. Great
Britain, Japan and the United States
are for tho maintenance of the integ
rity of China, but Russia, France and
others are for slicing up the kingdom.
"Regarding the Manchurlan ques
tion, Russia did not get the special
concessions favored by the treaty made
by Li Hung Chang. Even to the hour
before his death, when the Chinese
statesman was all but unconscious, M.
l.essar was working with him to have
him place his signature to the treaty
by which Russia would have obtained
all she 'wanted."
"Will tho troops be withdrawn from
Manchuria?"
"No, I do not think they will. Rus
sia will make- the excuse that the troops
iire necensoryjor tne projection ot ner
railways and. in my opinion. Russia
ultimately will have sole possession of,
Manchuria and Mongolia. The latter
province has not yet been brought Into
question, but Russia Is going to build
a railway line across Mongolia fiom
the nearest point of the boundary to
Pekln."
Will Retain Possession.
"The Russians are scheming In many
ways for the retention of the districts.
Thete were rumors before I left Pekln
that icbel foiccs were In motion in
Kansu and were supposed to bo acting
in concert wfth troops of Prince Tuan,
the ex-Boxer leader. I do not think It is
likely that they illl march on Pekln,
but they will hold an area In Shansl
and Mongolia. In Ningshia, his Kansu
capital, Prince Tuan has a strong
point." Russian forces In Manchuria are 40,
000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, 19,000 artil
lery, 2,400 engineers and 8,000 railway
corps, or a total of 93,800. To these
may be added the Amur army, which
I Is said to consist of 30,000 of all classes,
I so that the total available Russian
force In those regions of Asia Is 123,200.
The Asasl's Pekln correspondent an
nounces that General Tso, commander-in-chief
in Shin King, has advised the
Russian government to retain posses
sion of Manchuria. The Russions are
making strict beaich for arms In somp
districts and seizing them when found.

the trap fell and the man was hanged.

fruit, Hiindwlehes and coffee at noon
and then prepared for death. Ho
made his toilet with extreme caio and
the last thing ho did was to fasten a
buttonuirc to his coat. Tho con
demned man marched from his cell to
tho death trap with a firm tread.
When asked If ho had anything to

In his trial had told the truth, ho
Would not stand where he did. Ho
said u final good-byo to everybody,
and Sheriff Saylor pulled the lever,
but, to tho astonishment of all, the

asked to step off, tho trap was sprung,
adjusted, uud when Sheets stepped
buck on it, he was shot downward into
eternity, The body fell nt 1.38 p. m.
In fifteen minutes tho physicians pro
nounced him dead. Sheets was not

that If Weller, his accomplice, who

Bitter Internal Base Ball Straggle
Is Ended by the Resignation of
A. G. Spalding.
Ily KvclmHe Wire from the Associated Pren.
New York, April 2. The National
League base ball war is practically
ended. A. G. Spalding has resigned
his claim as chief executive of the big
organization, and the ofllcers will ten
der It to William C. Temple, of Pitts
burg. There will be no further contest
in 'the courts.
Mr. Spalding's letter of resignation
was presented to the magnates at the
second day's session of the peace con
ference at the Fifth Avenue hotel. The
letter was presented by James A. Hart,
president of the Chicago club.
The letter was addressed to the
National League and Association of
Professional Base Ball Clubs, nnd
read:
Ocntlemen: In accepting tiie presidency f
the National league, to which office I was in
formed 'last December I had been duly elected,
I promulgated the following platform as the
policy of my administration:
To piomote, foster, elevate and perprtuitc
the game of base hall, the national Held fport
of America.
To eliminate all objectionable features that
may tend to degrade and demoralize the i-port.
To inculcate in the governors of the game,
club official?, miiplio, placis and cicry one in
terested in or connected with the national tport.
a realization of what true sportsmanship U, and
to bubordlnatc the ttnanri.il 'Ide of the game.
To cultivate among Ihe players a desire for
the highest athletic development, that thty miy
by their sklllfiilneis, integrity apd gentlcminly
deportment, both on nnd oft the Hold, raise their
pmfeMlon to a high plan- and add lustre Jnd.
intciet to tho n-ition.il game.
Tq establish -a central goveniliift body In wHicli
all professional ba& .ball . interests ; shall he
properly represented, this body to b" i clothed
with ample power to carry into effect these and
other objects that tend to maintain the integ
rity and high standard of the game.
Conditions hive arisen, which in my opinion
nnlie it impossible at this tijie to my out nil
the pilneiples embodied in iho-alimo platfnim,
and as no compromise or modification of tlieso
principles will tie sitUfactory to me, I hale de
cided to discontinue further efforts in this dl
lection and hereby tender my losignatlon as
president of the Xatioml league and rccnext
fully insist that it be accepted without delay.
I wih to emphatically declare that I am
prompted in this action solely by the belief tint
prolonging a fictional political warfare In the
playing season Mould be distasteful to the pub
lic," Injurious to the Xational league in paiticu
lar, and to piufessional base ball in gcneial.
Respectfully,
A. G. Spalding.
Thus ends one of the bitterest inter
nal struggles that has ever shaken the
National league, and which threatened
to wreck the organization.
While Mr, Temple has not been for
mally elected to tho chief executive
office of the league it was decided
unanimously to offer him the place.
