*64—The North China Dailv News has
the following in its Tcehang corresvond-
ence of the issue 0f March 23: ‘*We are
also losing eur Commissioner, Mr. F.
Woodruff. whose. stay here has been
shori. Tt is not for us to speak of his
administration of the Customs affairs,
but his efforts to bring people together
and to make social life pleasant in our
little port. have been unceasing and
withal most successful. If his successor
means to equal him as a genial and de-
lightful host. he will have no light task.
Mr. Parr will be in charge till a new
Commissioner is appointed. Mr. Wood-
ruff leaves shortly for the States, hav-
ing retired from the service to spend,
we trust. many hanvy years still with
home and friends.’’ In the same column,
in the issue of April 6. it says: “The
Commissioner. of whose apvroaching
departure I told vou, went off by last
Kueilee. That he left amid general re-
eret goes without saying wherever Mr.
Woodruff is known. The Chinese on
their part were not behind-hand, in
showing how much they had anvpreci-
ated his kindly regime. On the evening
he left they had a native band dis-
coursing music after its kind on the.
Customs Bund. a prolonged discharge
of crackers and rockets went on while
he was going down the beach. while a
lighter beautifully lit up with strings of
lanterns lay waiting at the ship’s side.
Tiniversal good wishes follow him in his
retirement.”’

It is rumored that the last decision of
the Fayerweather will case will not
end the long period of litigation in
which that estate has been bound up
for some time, and that a new suit will
be brought. The University authorities
have had no authentic notification of
the fact and it not known here whether
this rumor is true or not, or whether
Yale’s funds will be in any way af-
fected.
The University crew and base ball
training tables have been moved to
Mrs. Sykes’, corner of York and Wall
Streets.
