Der of wounded is estimated at over
one hundred. 1t is very doubtful
whether these figures give the entire
list of killed, however. Many of the
men Shot down were carried away by
their friends, and as there is danger
of arrests for any of the wounded,
every effort will be made to conceal
their identity.
A report has been received from
Kalisz, Poland, that soldiers broke

them without cause. Several of the

TO TEST CHINESE REFORMS.
Proposition to Select Manchur1a ~ the
Experimental Ground.

WARRINGTON, Sept. IA plan to turn
Manchuria into an experimental ground
where the various reforms the Chinese
Government go strongly advocates may be
given thorough trial may soon be taken
before the Throne in Pekin. Mr.. Gracey.
the American Consul at Marking has made
Q report to the State Department of a con-
versation he had with Lao Tsung Yao chief
commissioner Of the Bureau Of Foreign
Affairs of the Liangkiang province. Mr..
Lao told Mr.. Gracey that he had several
discussions with the viceroy of the province
regarding the ultimate disposition of Man
churia. This was before the end Of the war,
and no one was sure that the Chinese
Government would ever get Manchuria
back. According to a bulletin issued at
the State Department to-day, Mr.. Laos
plan is described by Mr.. Gracey as follows:
"Mr. Lao has suggested the advisability
Of placing Manchuria in the position Of an
experimental ground. He recognizes the
effort toward reform which is being 40
strenuousiy made by the Government and
has su ggested and discussed with the Vice,
roy the use Of Msnchur:a as testing ground
for these reforms: Opening the country
to foreign commerce, granting mining and
railway concessions, reforming the judicial
and monetary systems, abolition Of the use
OF torture in the courts, DC" The Viceroy
was, 30 Mr.. Gracey said much impressed
with this Idea and will probably memorialize
the Throne regarding 1t.

One thing: That many Manu-

ter care-winter woolens very
much lighter in weight than
ever before; and further, goods
with a large percentage OF
