municatcd and to which they were per-
mitted access through the courtesy of
the railway officials.
Fires sprang up everywhere. and a
large section of the native city was
burned.
There was little fighting to-day be-
tween the revolutionists and the troops.
The imperialists are reported to be short
of ammunition for their big Krupp guns
and their most capable gunners are said
to have deserted them. The republicans
complain that owing to the neuualiza-
ton Of the railroad they have been un-
able to transport men and guns from
Shanghai These are being brought py
boats and pack mules. desperate oa'-
tie is expected shortly.
Peking, Nov l0.-Again to-day all was
quiet within the capital and at llen-l lsli'
and there was no sign of the expecteo
revolutionary upheayal
In Peking those who surround the throne
are actively engaged in efforts to end the
rebellion, anc tonight there seems some
foundation for the governments hope that
il will be able TO regain the allegiance OF
General Chang shao-tsen. Chang Is com
nander Of the army division at Ian Chau'
but at present is on sick leave" He-co
trolls the situation in Northern China, ana
| the government has been using It's every
endeavor 10 gain his unqualified support
It is desired by the government that Chang
shall return TO Peking and meet in con-
ference with Yuan shih-kai and Shi-Liang.
| ex-Viceroy of Manchuria.
| That Chang possibly may do as the gov
ernment wishes is indicated in advices re-
ceived here to-day from Ian Chau. A cor
respondent had an interview with Chang
and General Pan, the latter temporarily in
command of the 2Oth Division during
| Chang's Illness" Both generals. 1t is
said, agreed that they would protect the
Emperor if he is still reigning. or, II he
! has abdicated, that they would side with
the peace party and the constitution.
An official announcement tonight says
that the court, meaning the Dowager En-
press and the Emperor will move from
the Winter Palace TO the inner city on No
vember %, and orders all the officials on
| dutv 10 attire themselves in winter raj
ment.
Al important development this morning
| was the abandonment Of the Peking- -K-al-
gan Railway by its staff. Great prepara-
| tions had been made by the government
| TO keep this road secure for flight in case
| Of necessity. The railroad officials have
| abandoned their posts and arrived here to-
day.
An imperial edict again pathetically begs
the Manchus and Chinese to sink their
differences and live in brotherly affection.
The Chinese newspapers say that Cen
cral Ii Yuen-heng, the leader OF the re-
volutionists, has made counter PROPOSE
ton TO Yuan to join the rebels and assume
temporarily the Presidency OF the repub-
| lie, pending the assembling Of Parlia-
nent.
The attitude Of the foreign legations here
is much commented upon. The Germans
are conspicuously prominent, and should
the Manchus be victorious II is believed
their activities will be of great benefit to
them. The Germans have advocated sup
portins the government with loans, but
British objections to such a step have pre-
vailed quartet Of German banking firms
| accepted large hurry orders for ammuni-
ton, but the trains bringing IT have been
stopped by General Changs followers.
The Germans are now harboring YIN
Tchans. the ex-War Minister, who recently
vas deposed as commander Of tie imrerial
troops and Prince Tsai-Tao, brother OF
prince Chun, the Regent. The Russians
are giving asylum to the wife Of one OF
the Mongolian princes.
The japanese Legation. probably owing
N criticisms 10 which II has long been sub
,ected. is maintaining a most exemplary
attitude.
The Chinese here are preparing white
esg gs and arm bands. Some of them are
svnnathizing with the revolution, while
others are ready to display loyalty &c
either party.
Reports received from Pao Ting-fu say
that General Tuan. with 1000 troops OF
the 3d Division. is moving southwark OF
that citv in the Province Of Chilli.
Shanghai, Nov. 10'-The massacre at
Nanxing has aroused public sentiment
here 10 high pitch and undoubtedly
added to the prestige Of the revolution
aries who since the first outbreak al
WI Chang have maintained order and
avoided unnecessary bloodshed
