REBELS IN CONTROL.
Revoiutionists Make Inroads In Two
 More Provinces.

Shanghai, Oct. s22-The British con-
 sul here is in receipt of a, telegram
 from the consul at Hankow, by way
 of Kiu Kang, saying that news has
 been received that Chang sha, in Hu-
 Nan province, and I-Chang, in Hu Peh
 provinces, are in the hands of the
 rebels. At the latter place, 15,000
 ooolies have made a demand for their
 wages in silver which cannot be ob-
 tained.
 Graft on Contract For Shells.
 Eye witnesses of the recent en-
 gagement between the revolutionaries
 and the inperiaIists say shells fell in
 the German concessions. Apparently
 they were pom-pom shells, but an ex
 animation proved that they were com
 posed of wood. The same conditions
 existed in the Chino-Japanese war. to supply wooden shells at the same
 price as steel and the actual difference
 in the way of money was divided.
 Both Sides Were Timid.
 The North China News saw that the first engagement at Hankow was evil
 dently a trumpery affair, both sides being timid From the China Inter- national Missions comes an account of the first engagement of Wednesday. The rebels moved down near the race course and there was some skirmish- ing. About noon % rebel wounded were brought to the London Mission hospital A mob of rebel eoolies des- troyed the culvert bridges and officers
 of the imperial troops came down on
 an engine and inspected the damage. Rebel Shots Fell Short. As the imperialists retired towards Kilometre Ten Station. they did not vanced cheering but their shots for the
 most part fell short. Great numbers of rebels proceeded back of the con- sessions to the railway enbankmen. Cruisers Frightened Rebels. At four o'clock in the afternoon the Chinese cruisers opened fire on the rebels who were attacking the Chin csc town. The Rebels retired aft CT the third shot. The cruisers free ly shelled the rebel position east of the race course and apparently succeed ell in soaring them, for within short time they were in full retreat. At II o'clock Thursday morning a large body of rebels advanced past the race course, the Chinese cruisers hav- ing taken up position further down the river There was little firing at this time but the Wu Chang forts opened on the warships which began to manaeuver to prevent the forts from ldklnS sure aims. InOuSandS or ccolies followed the advancing rebels. Rebels Capture Supplies. The first field gun was posted ons the embankment and the cruisers with drew to the seven mile creek. The and continued to advance and the cruisers retired around the bend of the river. The march on the station met with no opposition. @sThe ad- vance guard, in coolie garb, carried away the abandoned imperia1ist tents rebels returned to Hankow, having in l their possession many captured tents and much ammunition and rice. A German Marine Shot. 1 There was only one casualty among 1 the foreigners. A German marine of a landing party was shot through the l hand.

Newark, N. J., Oct. 22-The au- thorities Investigating the death of Mrs. Allison Mcfarland, concerning which her husband, the advertising trical company, is under arrest on 8 charge of murder, admitted today that one of the most important clues on which they were working is that there may have been another in the case.
 Kwons Woman in Philadelphia.
 Mrs. Mcfarland died Tuesday night after taking dose of cyanide of pot, assiunl from bottle which Mcfarland is charged with having substituted for bottle containing a harmless medi- cine. After his wife's death it is al legged that Mcfarland went to Phila- delphia with the announced purpose of bI eaking the news to certain relatives. The authorities say that Mcfarland IS not known to have relatives in Ph1ia- delphia but that he is acquainted with a woman in that city.

 The effort to determine a motive for the elleged murder is further aided, it is said, by letters which the police found in McFarland's desk, but Prose outing Attorney Wilbur A. Mott de- clines to reveal their contents.
 "All I can say" he said, s'is that l am mighty glad we hame them.
 Wife Never Knew of Another Woman. Mcfarland spent the day in the Es- pending the action of the grand jury. About the suggestion that there was a woman of whom his wife might have reason to be jealous, he said to reporters: .sNo,' if they have ever mixed me up with other women, my wife never knew anything about it and there could be no cause for her to quarrel on that score.
 Lightning Change of Labels. 3 He also denied that he made any change in the label on the bottle con taining cyanide after his wifes death Dr. George V. Gale, who was called in by Mcfarland Wednesday morning, when he found his wife dead, is said to have told the prosecutor's detec- lives that the original label "bromi da" could be plainly read while be- reath it on a piece of paper there ap- peared the words "cyanide of potas- Sium'' The new label almost covered the original and read Poison, cyanide solution

The POOR OF LONDON

There are many organizations in
London for the help of the poor and
the sick, but they are all taxed to
the utmost.
Thousands of miserable children
are left unprovidcd for, at the mercy
of brutal and drunken parents.
When this is stated, II is our habit
to say, "Oh, we'll, it's the same in
all large cities over the world, in
New York, Chicago and elsewhere"
But II isn't.
There Is Indulgence in New York
and Chicago, of course, but not that
abject povcrty-that terrible need for
something 20 eat, which aiilicts the
of our own race In England. There
IL little Of the terrible drunkenness
so fearfully common in London and
other English and Irish cities. There
is little of that animalism and bru-
I tally which in Europe Is so common
that many are hardened to II, as a
phase of humanity.
One of the best informed orEaniZa-
I tons for the relief OF the poor and
brutalized, Is the London City Mis-
/ sion with its various branches and
its missionaries. While undonomina-
htional, II works under the auspices
of the Established Church, and issues
