THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

Advices from Hong Kong state th0t
the rebellion is spreading. Outbreaks
have occurred simultaneously 10 kwaDg
Tung and Kwang 81. Two thousand
imperial Chinese troops have Left Can
ton to intercept the rebels.
The so-called Chinese reformers have
defeated force of imperial troops, Kill.
ing 200 OF them.
1t now seems evident that Kan Yu
Wei, Sun Vat Sen, the great Chinese
reform leaders, and the Triads, power
fol secret society giving allegiance to
the Ming dynasty, have amslgama'ed
their forces 10 the common cause OF
oyerthrowing Manchu rule in South
China.
Sun Vat Sen, according to reports
from Canton, has taken the town OF
Kin Shan, on East river, and is now iu-
vesting the prefectoral city OF Hui
Chou.
A dispatch from Hankow dated Octo-
Der Is says the Chinese Court arrived
at Sinsn-Fu October IL.
A dispatch from Shanghai says the
British Consul there warns European
women against coming north from
Hongkong in the hope Of joining their
husbands, the situation in the Yangtse
Valley being very serious.
Ii Hung chang has arrived at Tung-
chow, escorted by Russians. 1t is ex-
pected that he will arrive at Pek to.
day.
The story comes from Paris that the
powers do not propose to arbitrate the
amount Of idemnity from China, but its
apportionmeot.
Germany has sent its reply TO the
French note. 1t is couched 10 friendly
tone.

JUPITER AND URANUs.-At O'Clock
on the afternoon OF October 10 Jupiter
and Uranus will be in conjunction.
This will be splendid opportunity for
identifying Uranus, for, being at about
the limit OF visibility with the naked
eye, it is not readily recognized like
the most brilliant planets, Venus, Jupi
ter, &C.; but by having Jupiter as a
point OF reference we know that IRA
nus must be In the immediate vicinity
OF Jupiter at the time mentioned above
Uranus has about a. light brillisncy
equal to sixth magnitude star-some
what like the well-known stars of the
Plelades, or seven stars. Uranus has a
greenish blue tint. 1t may be dark
enough at o'clock to observe the
planet with a field glass or opera glass,
using the bright planet as a guide.
Jupiter will be pretty low down 10 the
south west and in the glass will show a
disk, and il the glass is powerful
enough some of the moons of Jupi.er
will be seen. Jupiter has five moons,
and four can easily be seen with good
glass, but the fifth satellite is only visi.
