'The delegates from the Xunklti nssembly, a number of provincial representatives nnd other prominent persons as well as the Secretaries and Military Attache of the American legation were present At the ooremony. Tho other foreign legations were not represented. Yuan made nn avowal of loyally to tho republic which' supplemented by an path that he would retire when a permanent President was chosen Extreme simplicity was the keynote of Yuan's inauguration, liis declaration was very brief and may be translated: Since a republlo has been founded there is much work to be done. I will try faithfully.to develop tho republic, remove he disabilities of absolutism, observe tlie constitutional laws, develop tho country's welfare, nnd bind the five races of the nation stronslv together.

When thf National Assembly appoints a permanent President 1 will retire. "I swear this before the Chinese republic." It was noticeable that the Nankin delegates who were foremost in the large assembly wore European dress. This rontrasted strangely with the native costumes of tho old dignitaries whose manner was most solemn. After Yuan had taken the oath Tsi Yuan Pei. leading Nankin delegate, made a brief address to the new President who read his reply.

Then two Grand Lamas in yellow robes presented President Yuan with two golden Buddhas covered with the cloth called the linta. The presentation was equivalent to offering homage to tho supreme earthly chief. Yuan removed the hata and placed it around tho necks of tho Grand I.amas, hereby signifying the sovereignty of China over Tibet. The Chinese newspapers were numerously represented at the ceremony for the first time in history. rnk.KA.

The Public Prosecutor has opened an Inquiry Into Belll's death and Kvernden Is under arrest on the charge of having With violence unintentionally killed bis opponent.

The body of Belli has been taken to the morgue for an autopsy. Boxing Is only five years old In Palis, but the Interest In It and the hold It has aken on the public may be imagined from Prince I tola ml Bonaparte's first remark when Tub Sr.v correspondent went to ask him what he thought of Capt. Amundsen's exploit In reaching the south pole. "Why speak of that." iucried tho Prince, "when all Paris Is preoccupied with the death of boxer?" It Is generally hoped that the autopsy will show that Belli was suffering from heart disease, as has been rumored. This Is the first death that lias Immediately ensued ftom a light lu France, although Prof.

Austrian Government tiels Possession of Mines at Joarhlmsthal. Washington, March 10. United States Consul W. L. Eownl at Carlsbad, Austria, reports "that the Austrian Government has obtained posses-don of the world's known supply of radium.

In hi report, mr.do public by the Bureau of Manufactures, he says: "According to a statement which appeared receutly in tile Austrian presH tho Government has bought the only two radium mines e.t St. Joachimsthr.1 that were owned by privete individuals. Tho price is said to be 3.000,000 crowns for the two mines, Sachi eche Edeileutestollen and Hergottszeche. "During the last four years many efforts have been made by various financial institutions of Germany and France to purchase these deposits of pitchblends. It is estimated that the two mines will annually yield about three (gram O.U3M7 avoirdupois ounce) of radium ami 3.000 kilos (kilo pounds) of uranium the lattervr.lued nt $30,000.

A mass meeting of railway employees announced to take placo In Trafalgar Square this afternoon was prohibited by tho police for fear disorder might result from it.

Tho Postmaster-General announces that there will be delay In forwarding domestlo mails owing to the suspension of services by many railroads. The London County Council has made a move to economize in the use of coal during the present strike. It has decided to curtail the municipnl streetcar service beginning to-morrow. In order to reduce the inconvenience caused by this order would-be passengers will be allowed to stand on corners while waiting for a car. Ordinarily this Is not allowed.

Notwithstanding the general opinion that I. Kamsey Macdonald, the leader of the Labor party In the House of Commons, was cooperating with Premier Asquilh In an effort to bring about a settlement of the strike, Macdonald roundly abused the Prime Minlster'tn a speech at Hadcllffe Lancashire, to-day. He said that tho present deadlock was dun to what he characterised as the foolish bungling Mr. Asqulth. The new week sees the strike no nearer settlement than Its predecessor.

Optimises expect much from the conferences which nre on the week programme, but the overwhelming opinion is that the strike will rontlnuo another month at least in South Wales. The miners of Northumberland nnd Derbyshire also are still determined to give In to nothing less than the scheduled minimum wage. The industrial upheaval goes from bad to wors. Trains in the rural districts of and Cumlerland have ceased running. K.iilroads from the east, west and northeast are almost stopped.

This decision was reached to-day at a meeting of delegates from the socialist miners' unions. The vote wns M17 to 71.

BRIQUETTES FOR COAL A ReUtrtl KxpeUlent of 100? Will Be l'eu In Case ot Strike Now.

'I he coal dealers of (his as well as other cities will continue to go lightly in taking orders pending the result of the conference onWednesday bet ween the commit tee of the anthracite operators and the committee of mine workers. In case a new proposition is made by the mine workers and negotiations to avert a strike are opened the retail market may ease up. Small steam sizes, which are in demand all the year round, are not so scarce as has been said in some quarters. The president of one of the coal currying roads satd last evening: "There Is easily thirty davs supply of steam sizes on hand, one pluce Jor another, at present, and no one knows what month may bring forth. This ordinarily would be considered a fairly good stocK.

"As to whether or not there will be a strike no one could honestly say at the present. It depends on the mine workers," An expedient which figured near the close of the strike of lSo'J and relieved tht) situation somewhat then will be resorted to more largely In case of a prolonged strike now. This is the manufacture of liriquettes, made of the refuse of the culm heaps after the small steam sixes of coal have been extracted, treated with chemicals and used as a substituto for coal, briquettes are burned as a substitute for steam coal all the time in a number of apartment houses. It was said yesterday that the average tidewater price of anthracite has not changed, the premium on all sizes being ascribed to some of the middlemen, jobbers and independent operators, In case of a long strike a supervision of the distribution of anthracite on hand is likely, so that no one muy get an undue supply to the disadvantage of others. COAL PRICES SOARING.

NPr.NCKR IIRATF.lt CO. PHILBIN RAPS MAYOR III THE BRANDT CASE And Father Vaughan HeaMacks Socialism at Knights of Columbus Dinner. CI1EKRS FOR JESUIT PRIEST He Says Diners Must I)lsirne That Irish Hero Are Heine Won to Swinllsm. The Knights of Columbus of tho second New York district almost thousand of them invaded the Hotel Astor yesterdey and took possession of the grand 'ballroom nnd one entire floor. After initiating two hundred of their number In the fourth degreo, in exercises of exemplification which extended through three hours, the entire company adjourned at 6 o'clock to the banquet hall on the eighth floor, led by the uniformed color guard, who took seats of honor near the flag draped rostrum.

The Initiates wore bravely their red baldrics and swords, but -wisely checked the latter at the inner door. Father Bernard Vaughan. the Kngllsh Jesuit, the chief speaker, made a strong plea for a rally to faith nnd determined stand against Socialism. He aroused great enthusiasm by saying that the Catholic Church Is the strongest opponent of Socialism and the only breakwater against its rising flood. The whole con course of diners, spread through the.

north and the east ballrooms, rosn and cheered when the priest finished. His modern aggressive tone was echoed by tho speakers who followed him. Justice Victor J. Dcwling told the Knights about the llOO.ono monument to Christopher t'olumbu which Congress is erecting in Washington.

Phil-bin, who followed Father Vaughan. lie-waited the present tendency in political and legal affairs to magnify personalities instead of issues, "Egotism in public life," he said, "is the greatest fault of the age." Referring obviously to the Brandt case he criticised a public interest which wns attracted, as he paid, not to the necessity of preserving the sanctity of the home" but to the effect which any action would have upon possible (iubernatorial contests. And he berated a Mayor who could not be salislled with silence and sent a communication the Governor which almost brought the writer into contempt of court When Father Vaughan entered the banquet hall there was an outburst of applause which redoubled when the toabt-msster presented him as one about whose opinions there could be no doubt. "It is not. necessary for him to throw his hat into the ring," averred Justice Duwling, "that is Its permanent place." I king into an attack upon socialism and the problem which it.

presents to the Catholic Church, the Jesuit urged the Knights of Columbus to lw faithful to the twin obligation to Church and State imposed by their organization. In conclusion he pleaded for nn Catholicism and said: No longer thall in be content to occupy a back street. For we have wares which ate well worth th olfi-ilntr, tfnd we be. lleve In putting lliem In the fiont window. An Anglican filend or mine dnce atKetl me If I wasn't occupying a back seat.

Tho French law requires three flights before the candidate can gel a licenss. and Miss Moore had made two successfully. On her third attempt she manoeuvred her plane successfully and brought It back above the starting (oint. when something went wrong and the plane dropped to the ground, distance of 120 feet. Miss Moore instantly killed.
