FEAR UPRISING IN CHINA.
Trouble in the Celestial Kingdom Not
Generally Understood.


An Associated Press dispatch from
Pekin says: Foreigners have been
much preoccupied by the growing un-
rest in the southern part of Chi H
province and Shantum and Human
provinces.
They were informed by the officers
of the foreign board that the agitation
is largely revolutionary and anti-dynas-
tic, thus differing from the boxer move
ment of 1900. which was chiefly anti
foreign.
Ministers of the powers in Pekln
have approached the foreign board
with view to including the officials to
take effective measures. The board
answered that strict orders had been
given to Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Chi
Ii and commander in chief of the chi
nese forces, to do his utmost to sup
press the revolutionary movement, and
added that no serious trouble was an
ticipated
The foreign board naturally mini
mixes the symptoms, which certainly
are Widespread, but there seems
ground to believe that the character of
the movement is different from that of
the boxers of 1900
The native papers Of Pekin and 9th
er places are utilizing the coolie gues-
ton as a means of agitation Pamph-
let's and hand bills are also distributed
complaining of the alleged cruelties
which the coolies in the Transvaal are
subjected to. The Chinese govern
ment apparently has not attempted to
counteract or check these mischievous
statements. 1t is difficult to ascertain
the precise object of the agitation but
the foreigners regard the situation as
being distinctly disquieting.

From a reliable source the Associat
ed Press at st. Petersburg hears that
sharp fighting has occurred near Muk-
den, resulting in the Japanese driving
in General Kuropatkin's outposts. I'm
portant dispatches have been received
and transmitted to the emperor. They
are believed to confirm the Associated
Press information.
The gtneral staff, however, is unable
at present to go beyond the positive
assurance that the main Russian army
is still at Mukden.
According to the best estimates OBJ
tainable, the japanese army confront
ing General Kuropatkin comprises a
grand total of $50 battalions. Allowing
800 men to a battalion, there are IA,
900 infantry. In addition there are o.
300 cavalry and 63S guns.
There is no definite news from Port
Arthur. Changes in the Russian minis
try of marine and in naval commands
are announced on high authority. The
new head of the admiralty, it is said
will be Vice Admiral Doubasoff, an Off
Ger of wide experience in war and the
present head of the technical bureau
of the ministry of marine.

.ENGRAVER UNDER ARREST
Counterfeiter Wynne duplicates Chas-
Mansion, Foreman of Engraving
Company in Crooked Work.

Charles A. Mansion, foreman of the
Southern Engraving Company, in Al
lanta, was arrested Thursday morning
by Captain J. NJ Wright of the United
States secret service, charged with be-
ing implicated with Will L. Wynne IN
the making of plates for counterfeit
money.
The arrest was made on the sugges'
ton of the district attorney Shortly
before 10 o'clock Secret Service officer
Wright entered the shop of the South

The Constitution building, and request
ed Mansion to walk over to the United
States building with him.

The arrest of Charles Manston
makes six arrests that have been made
by the United States secret service
men in connection with the making
of plates and printing of counterfeit
money in Atlanta.
After Mansion had been arrested he

Fuller and placed under a $1,000 bond
for his appearance before Commits
sioner ColQuitt. His bond was prompt

The arrest of Mansion is said to
have been made upon representations
made by Wynne. A peculiar feature
of the case, therefore, is the CORE
spondence between Mansion and
Wynne, in which the latter informed
him of practically the time of his ar.
rest.
Mansion had received several let
tiers from Wynne regarding the arrest
of the latter and finally this one was
handed him by the mother of Wynne:

RESULT OF CLOUDBURST
River Forced from Banks and Property
to Extent Of Many Thousands in
Value is Swept Away-No
Lives Reported Lost.

A terrific storm struck the city Of
Trinidad, Colorado, Friday and the
whole valley along the Las Animas
river, devastating a wide section and
causing loss which will reach one
million dollars. So far as known.
there was no loss Of life, but several
are reported missing.
Every bridge in the city of Trinidad
is down, the Sante Fe station is de-
mOlished all Of the railroads are tied
up and the telephone and telegraphic
service completely suspended. More
than thirty city blocks in the resi-
dence and business portions were tenn
porarily from two to four feet under
water along the river.
The flood was caused by the heavy
rain which fell for two days At
O'Clock Thursday night the storm
assumed cloudburst proportions and
at two o'clock Friday morning the
Las Animas river went over it's banks.
At $3.50 it was impossible to get
within a block of the river bed at any
point and Commercial street was
flooded for three blocks in the heart
Of the business district.
City in Complete Darkness.
Meantime the electric light and gas
plants had been flooded and the city
was in complete darkness. Hundreds
of citizens thronged the streets on
the edge of the submerged district
carrying lanterns and doing their
best to provide shelter for those driven
from their homes. Warning of the
food was given when the river left
ringing of the fire alarm, followed by
the blowing Of all the locomotive and
shop whistles in town.
Citizens upon RATS made of sec
tions of sidewalks padded through
the streets rescuing families which
were in danger. The new Bacca hotel,
a two-story structure just nearing
completion at a cost Of $4,000, was
destroyed. The water then ate its

1t was reported at one time that

JAPS BEGIN OFFENSIVE.
They Capture Da Pass After Two
Failures and Commence Pressure
on Kuropatkins Flank.

News was received in ST. Petersburg
Thursday from Mukden. to the effect
that the Japanese have at last begun
the offensive They have captured Da
pass and are pressing on to General
Kuropatkins flank. The war Office is
unable to confirm this report because
Kuropatkin's dispatches are following
the emperor, but the Associated Press
is informed by the general staff that
ali indications point to the news being
correct.
Several other passes of the De
range east Of Bentsiaputze, 20 miles
southeast of Mukden, are also in the
hands of the Japanese. KurOpatkin is
evidently drawing in his forces to the
less mountainous country nOrthWard,
where he may decide to give battle.
H. the meanwhile sharp fighting is re-
garded as imminent southeast of Muk
den, whence the Japanese are expect
ed to deliver their main attack, the
flank movement from the west being
of secondary Importance.
Da pass, or Ia pass, meaning great
pass, is situated about forty-fve miles
southeast of Mukden, and is the same
distance northeast Of Liao-Yang. 1t
i about % miles south Of the Hun riv-
er. The Japanese attacked Da pass,
which was occupied by the troops Of
General MitschenkO and SamsOnoff, on
September "a. but according to dis
patches from Hardin we're twice re-
pulsed, before success was achieved.
Private reports from Port Arthur
state that the garrison there is conf
dent of being able to hold out until
the beginning of next year.
The report is confirmed of the loss
Of three japanese torpedo boats and
the damaging of a Japanese cruiser by
coming in contact with Russian mines.

cnecia1 from Jackson, Miss, says:
Thomas e. Watson, of Georgia, popu'

; a physical breakdown at the close OF
his speech in the representatives hall
at the state house Tuesday afternoon
and had to be conveyed to his hotel
in a carriage.
A physician was summoned and the
Georgian was advised to go home ana
secure absolute quiet and rest for a
few weeks.
Mr.. Watson arrived here sick TWEEN
ty-four hours in advance Of his speak
ing engagement, and remained contin'
ed to his room until Tuesday, retus'
ing to see all visitors.
His breakdown is largely due to the
extra work involved in the preparation
of his letter of acceptance, which IS
now nearing completion and will %
made public in a few days.
Several times during his address II
appeared that Mr.. Watson was about
to break down, but he managed TO nm
ish the deliverance.
He declared his intention to remain
on the stump unless absolutely forced
to go home by sickness.
There were about one hundred pop
ulists present from different parts Of
the state, together with about twenty
local democrats.
Mr.. Watson said the populist move
ment was on it's feet again, and that 1t
would continue before the American
people until it was triumphant. He
said that there was no difference be-
tween Roosevelt and Parker, there be-
ing but one disagreement, that on the
pension order.
On this subject the speaker said.
Parker differs from Roosevelt on the
pension order He says that Roose-
welt did the right thing in the wrong
way, and if he got in he would do it
il. the right way. Parker says that he
will give the Filipinos separate gov

aid Roosevelt says he will give them
self government when they are pre-
pared for it,
Where is the difference between
Roosevelt and Parker on the negro
question? Roosevelt lunched with
Booker Washington. Can any say that
Parker would not?" He said that most
Of the talk about the negro question
was politics. He accused Parker OF
accepting a copy of life of Jefferson
from negro, Ross, and in thanking
him addressed him as "My Dear Mr..
Ross
He said that it was matter of in
difference to him whether the popu-
lists were hurting the democratic or
the republican party the most, ex-
planning that the reason he devoted
most of his attention to the democrats
in the south was because it was from
this party he expected to poll votes.
he said that Parker was no democrat,
and that the trusts owned both part

ceptance while in the city and left
