SUPREMACY OF YUAN SHIH-KAI.
THE TRIUMPH OF TRADITION.
(DY THE TIMES
CORRESPONDENT.) PEEING, June 8th. President Yuan Shih-kai; having securi ed his complete supremacy in the Stato by the promulgation of the new Provi- sional Constitation, has lost no time in making use of his powers. The first necessity was to correct the provincial habit of disregarding the wishes of the capital and ignoring the financial needs of the Central Government. A separation of civil-and-military-affairs was imme diately desirable, and to this end Presidential Order was issued on May 23rd virtually reviving the system of pra- rincial administration existing in the time of the Manchu régime, Under the new system the Governors will administer civil affairs, with supervisory powers over finance
matters. and judicial
Now finance departments have been created under the direct control of Peking, with the object of securing a steady flow of revenue to the Central Treasury. If this is accomplished Yuan Shih-kai will have overcome one of his chief difficulties, and will smooth the way to a maintenance-of his control over the country...
The military forces will now be under the control of the Ministry of War; who wil be represented in the provinces by special Commissioners. The Governor will
not have authority over the troops,
although he will have the direction of the police and patrol forces, and should the necessity arise at any time for the em ployment of the military he must apply to the nearest officer in the vicinity for such aid.
Each province will be divided into tao, or circuits, and haion, or districts, to
simplify administration, the officers in charge of each being under the Governor

countryman of his was invited to take a team across the Atlantic to try conclusions with American players for the Cup. A series of matches had been arranged, but John Watson's team won the first two so easily at Newport that the rest of the tour was abandoned. America challenged for the Cup in 1900, and again more seriously in 1902, but it was not until their third attempt-in 1900-that they wore successful with the invincible team, known as the "Big Four." That dofeat, however, was a blessing in disguise. Our doméstic polo had become stagnant and stereotyped, and the shock was salutary. The result was the abolition of the offside rule and the introduction of the goal handicap. The abolition of the offside rule had greatly improved the game, both from the point of view of the player and of the spectator, and had entailed none of the evil results which those who always resisted a stew idea so freely prophesied; | THE HAL.

Lord Wimborne, responding, paid a tribute to American sportsmanship in the contests and said he trusted an American
team would come over next year.
Captain Barrett, who led the team, also responded.
