The Chinese Rebellion.
rom The New York sun.

rom Inc New lorh SuH.
The revolt in China is spreading rap
idly from WuchanS along the YangtZe
valley and threatens to involve many of
the southern provinces This appears
evident from the somewhat conflicting
reports. although its possible extent and
the seriousness of the movement from
which it springs are still matters of more
or less conjecture. In its inception APP
parently a remonStrance against the exc
cution Of conSpi'atorS arrested in 4 revo-
lutionary bomb factory at Wuchang, 1t
has become a Warlke movement having
for its purpose q change of the form of
government and the downfall OF the
Manchu dynasty. The mere change of
the reigning house might be of small con-
sequence in itself hut il carries in its
train the same complications that arose
from the revolution in Turkey and Per
STA the question Of foreign intervention
and the ability of the nation to maintain
its integrity and meet its Obligations.

State Scholarships.
From the Boston Globe.


In faroring "A liberal appropriation by
the state to pay the tuition OF boys and
girls at colleges already established,
rather than to found new state univer-
sity. Gov. Foss advocates a very sensible
policy. If the state is to aid deserving
young men and Young women in their
efforts to obtain college education. it
would certainly seem wiser for eco
nomical, il for no other reasons. to take
advantage of the many excellent institu-
lions of the higher learning already eX-
listing in Massachusetts
The problem Of selecting the right
boys and girls upon whom 10 bestow
free scholarships ought not to be diff
cult to solve, for that might he left to
the Judgment and fairness of high school
teachers and boards Of education il
every community, who certainly would
have means Of knowing whether the
scholarships were well bestowed. Neither
political pull nor other improper influ-
ence need enter into the decision.

BASE BALL

In the first shut-out game of the
season, Monte Vista trimmed the
War Eagles of Denver Saturday on
the home grounds, taking four
scores from the visitors.
A thirst for revenge brought the
War Eagles back Tuesday. In
the third inning, it looked as tho
their day had arrived, for three of
the Eagles scored. Monte then
quit fooling, made a score in its
half of the third inning and in the
seventh drew a couple of prizes in
the shape of two home runs, which
brought the crowd to its feet.
With the score even, things were
interesting, and in the eighth,
Monte made the winning'run. An
amusing feature of the game was
furnished by Curry on third base,
with the ball in his hand, tagging
a man who was frantically attempt
ing to reach this sack. Not over
half a dozen people, including
players, realized what had hap
pened until the dreamy runner,
shamefaced, was headed for his
bench.
Two games are scheduled for
next Tuesday, one between Akers
Lumber Co. team and La lara,
followed by game between Del
Norte and Monte Vista,
