Hong Kong, Nov. 2O-Although Chi
ma is waking Up" there remains
enough of the old medieval methods
to prevent the Celestial Empire over
taking the western world in the race
for up-to-dateness Witness the fol.
lowing incident:
A fine baby boy was born shortly
after the death of the late emperor, to
an humble peasant family in Yunnau
province. Happening to see and adj
mire the child, a brainy Buddhist monk
told the parents that the baby had
been chosen by the spirit to take the
place of the present emperor on the
throne.
The delighted parents Immediately
rewarded the monk with $500, with
which he disappeared. Meanwhile.
the report that baby emperor was in
their midst, made great stir among
the neighbors, and there was a demon
stration SO alarming that troops were
sent to the district.
An official inquiry followed. with the
result that the father and mother Of
the wonderful baby were put to death

The officials of the house and senate
charged with the responsibility of pur-
chasing the autos have been besieged
by representatives from leading auto
manufacturers. many Of whom, it is
said, have offered inducements because
of the value of the advertisement. It
is believed Vice President Sherman
and Speaker Cannon will finally agree
on the machines they favor, about the
time congress convenes.
Old Story Revived.
The story is again revived that Sec

partment is soon to retire. He has
completed a longer term as cabinet
minister than any other cabinet officer
in the history of the government.
Last spring the story was first given
currency that the friend of farmers, as
he is called, was soon to retire from
President Taft's cabinet, but Secretary
Wilson lost no time in denying the re.
port. which has at intervals appeared
since in the newspapers.
1t is charged that Secretary Wilson's

it seems impossible to economic in

this fact has anything to do with the
rumor of change is not known. bu.
the understanding is that President
Taft feels the time has come when a
new man might be placed in charge ~

Secretary Wilson is over seventy
five years old. and is the oldest men,

and this might have a bearing on the

(ey Roderick CIifford.)

Washington, Nov. 3O.-There are
strong indications that President Taft
will sign the bills admitting the terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood before the close of the COM
ing session of congress. He took oc,
casion while in the west recently to let
the people know he favored statehood
for the territories. ~. - -~
Representative Hamilton OF Michi-

would do his best to have the bill ad
uniting the territories reported to the
house before the holiday recess; and as
the sentiment in the house is almost
unanimous it is not improbable that
the popular branch of congress will
pass the bill So that it will be in the
nature OF Christmas gift to the peo-
pie of Arizona and New Mexico.
While 1t is understood there is some
opposition in the senate to the admis-
sion OF the territories, it is believed
President Taft will be able to overcome
it and thus have added in the first half
of his administration two stars to the
flag.
Friends of the territories say they
would have been admitted to the union
in the last congress. but for the oppo.
sition Of Senator Beveridge of Indiana,
chairman of the committee on terrific
ries. 1t is known that the majority
of the senate committee on territories
is in favor OF statehood. This fact
gives encouragement to those who ad-
vocate the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico to the sisterhood of the
states.
Autos Not Purchased.

last session of congress for the use OF
the vice president and the speaker of
the house of representatives have not

ing that point which had been DEFENDED

The above dispatch refers probably 10
the battle of Thursday concerning which
conflicting reports reached New orleans

Orleans with the Nicaraguan rebels re-
ceived advices stating that General Es-

Paso las Lajas. At the same time the
Ntcaraguan charge d'affaires at Wash
inRton received word from President Ze-
lava to the effect that the government
troops had met and routed the enemy al
Paso las Lajas. 1t Is possible the earlier
success of the rebels was turned Into de-

having been killed, should not be confus-

is one Of the rebel leaders. -----s
Paso las Lajas is near Chile, about 9
