TOday's Telegrap hic News
The Rebellion in China.

Canton, Chins, May 3l.-The city Of
Swatow is reported to be on the verge of
capture by 10000 rebellious Triads who
are said TO be marching on the city after
GLIDING soldiers sent to intercept them.
Reports from other quarters say the re-
volt is spreading over Kwang-Tung
province.
A military force was recently dis
patched from SwatOw against the rebels,
leaving the city practically deienseless
except for several warships reported to
be in the harbor.
The rebels so far have confined their
depredations to killing civil and military
officials. If warships reported TO still be
in Swallow hsrbor try to defend the city
it is feared massacre may follow in case
the rebels capture the place.
Discoursging reports from other Sec
tons of Kwang- Tung province state that
hundreds of dissatisfied Chinese are join
ing the rebels, aud the revolt is assuming
gigantic proportions.
A report from Annoy says that soldiers
in several small towns nearby have
mutined and joined the revolt. The de-
feat of detachment of Trisds yesterday
by the troops with the loss of 100 men is
said to have only aroused the rebels,
and it is feared attacks will be made on
villages throughout the province in re-
taialion for the punishment dealt out by
the soldiers.
Annoy, China, May Sl.-The revolt
against the Manchu dynasty has spread
TO Fokien province and 80, 900 men are
now in arms at point forty miles south
of this city. The latest reports say the
insurrection is spreading and it is feared
the whole province will be affected.
Reports from the instruction center
state that the rebels are we'll armed sn1
are ably commanded and differed.
Detachments of the rebsls. it is said,
have been sent 10 surround the towns.
FeRrs are entertained that this small
force can do nothing against the 80, 600
men in the rebels camps.
Wsrships are expected here in the
next day or two as it is feared an attack
may be made on Annoy which is practi-
csllv defenseless.

GOVERNOR HUGHES on Wednesda,
sent to the New York Senate his veto o.
the "School Teachers Equal Pay" bill.
Two distinct grounds were set forth in

The discretion of the Board of Education
of New York city, and that the broad
proposition equal pay for equal work, "
while an attractive one, was too big for
the Legislature to take up hastily, and,
If taken up by The Legislature, should
be made to apply to all cities and all
through the state civil service. This
veto sets at naugat all the frantic lobby

after Mayor Mcclellan vetoed the meas

IN Albany before, which on every side
was termed an open scandal-lobbying
which caused Speaker Wadsworih on |
several occasions to order the women |
from the floor of the assembly. Already
there is talk Of passing the bill over the
governors veto, but even Senator White,
the measures most enthusiastic SUP.
porter, seems not to feel sanguine about
It's chances. Some such effort. though.

Mr. Bryan, 10 opening, said:
81 don't know whether my good friend
| expected me to use this occasion to ioin
in the nomination of the candidate for
president or not; will say, though, that
join with him in the admiration he has
expressed for Virginias great son and
statemsn. And have said time and
again that section should not control the
selection of our candidates.
''In fact, two years and hall ago, at
ST. Louis, Igeconded the nomination of a
man from Missouri AN ex Confederate
soldier-6hen Virginia voted tor a New
York man.
81 have insisted that the time has
come when the democracy of the Union
should take in The whole Union. and
that its selection should be made without
regard to the State in which a man lives.
"We have more democrats in the north
than yon have 10 the South and you
must not be too harsh with usif We have
also the misfortune Of having more re.
PUBLICAN voters in the north than you
have in the South. Ii is no! that there
are too few of US; it ia that there are too
many OF them and / would hardly be
doing justice to the section from whidh
came if did not tell you that it re-
iuires as much love OF democracy to vote
a the north, where they defeat us. As
t requires down here 10 vote, where they
.lect you"
Mr.. Bryan also touched on railroad
equation, saying the rate bill saved
money for the railroads, which, on their
art, were unwilling TO share the in-
reased profits with the public in &C
