No. 11 upon the Roll of Honor of all National Banks EMPRESS BE MAY TO RETIRE ELDER STATESMEN OP THE EMPIRE 50W ASSERT THAT THEIR RULER IS TOO PROGRESSIVE AND THAT REFORMS RECENT LY INAUGURATED SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUED—SITUATION THOUGHT WHOLLY IN HER HANDS, LIKELY TO REMAIN SO : r° i & a n « t ; I c o PEKIN. Jan. 11.—The leading Chinese statesmen have presented a joint memorial to the throne urging the retirement of the empress dow ager from the control of the admin istration after the next Chinese New Year. This is looked upon as a most extraordinary event In China's modern history, but it has wholly failed to carry conviction among the I Chinese populace and the foreign I residents. The empress dowager ihas certainly a right to be weary of the cares of state if ever a sovereign jhad, but there have not yet been ay Indications of such weariness. The time when foreign residents »und difficulty in mentioning the crown. It fs admitted that there fever since the empress dowager's rd' flight to Hsiyang after the Box er affair—which, hv the way. was much more discreditable to Euro peans than to the Chinese—and ever since her stilt sadder return j THAW DREADS MATTEAWAN hew toek ' 8 ««■ CRIMINAL INSANE DOES NOT OFFER MANY ATTRACTIONS BOB HIM BOB HIM NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Mattea wan insane asylum, to which Harry K- Thaw will be; seat if, as the slayer of Stanford; White, he is pro nounced mentally Irresponsible, Is one of the largest institutions of its { kind in the country and is main tained by the state of New York specially for the custody and sate keeping of the criminal insane, Thaw dreads the possibility of being sent to Matteawan and has several times said he- would prefer to go to Sing Sing rather than be shut with the criminal Insane. Matteawan is to all Intents and'p purposes a prison, although much 'more liberty fs granted the inmates j than Is the case with criminals ofj sane mind. During certain periods of the day the male Inmates are ! lowed to mfngle in a large hall, and here Thaw would find himself 'among hundreds of maniacs, each ' guilty of some crime. The asylum houses manv noted criminals, mur derer», professional robbers and thieves of all races and classes. Many, of the inmates have been Imprisoned In the asylum for more than twenty-five years and several as long as forty years. One old woman has been confined there stnee ;1852. A few years ago the Instltu tlon became so overcrowded that It was found neeesaarv to establish a second asvlum for the housing of 'criminal insane. This refuge for those who are dangerous to »ocletv is located at Dannemora, near the Canadian line. j Northwest Bowling Tourney j 9I0UX CffTY. la., Jan. 10.—A here Panl, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and other points to compete in the tournament 1 , the Town end Nm-thw«ter„ Bowling asso^iatioti which ooened Bowling asso iation, which opened today and will continue for one, I large number of bowlers are I from Omaha, Des Moines, St. k i f,/ . „ The events are five and two men ». . , .. „ .v {contests, and are or the Nor hwest ,championship.

Boarders Wanted to a capital half dtlapidater and a palace wholly desecrated by foreign ! soldiers and missionaries, she has | shown that the bitter lessons of that time have brought to her mind worldly wisdom Instead of inspiring a desire for retalllation and revenge, j as would have been humanly natur al. She has apparently realized that to be prepared for war Is the only way to preserve peace, and has de termined to make China a modern nation, so far as military measures are concerned. The empress dowager, once de nounced as a conservative, Is now being criticised as too progressive, i It Is not likely that the empress will resign at the request of the elder statesmen, who prefer that China sholu stay In the käme old rut of j concervatfsm. She Is apparently not revengeful, but, as haB_ been said, she has learned worldly wis dom. Slowly and without ostenta tion. she Is engaged in training an army of hundreds of thousands of Chinese In the methods of modern warfare. If there should be an other Boxer uprising, she hopes to j be able to attend to ■ it without In- j terventlon of the foreign powers. If the latter should Interfere, It will be at their peril. The modern Chi nese afmy, commanded by European and American officers and supplied with the most modern machines of destruction, fs not to he trifled with In defense of Its own country.

All title matches should consist of at j feast 1 800 pointa, and should run from three to five nights. A title and a big side bet. such as is gen ecallv made, is too much to risk on one night's play.
