The rebels won a victory at Hankow

all wire lines direct to the scene of

The Chinese warships, which under

ACTIVE PROPAGANDA
OF The PROGRESSIvES
Republican Faction Is Making
Lively Campaign.
MediII Mccormick, Clifford Pinchot,
Charles r. Crane and Rudolph
SpreckeIs Known to Be Much
Interested in Movement.

One of the seven political wonders
of Washington is the progressive Re,
publican campaign committee.
Starting quietly several months ago
in two rooms on the top floor of
Washington Office building, with a
manager and his stenographer and no
other clerical force, the propaganda
sas grown until today it employs
nearly fifty clerks and it is stated
that it will double it's force in few
weeks. The managers now occupy
eight rooms and have taken a lease
on the entire top floor of the office
building.
Furthermore, arrangements are be-
ing made to open branch headquarters
in Chicago and plans are under way
to open branches in Boston and on
the Pacific coast. The query in Wash
ington is, "who is paying for this cam
paign?"
Neither the Democratic national
committee nor the Republican nation
al committee has any such organiza-
ton. In numbers and activity it sug-
gests the heat of a presidential cam
paign. It is known that Clifford
Pinchot has contributed literally and
Medill Mccormick, the Chicago pub
Usher, is one of the managers in
Washington The chief of the bu
reau is Louis w. Houser, former sec
rotary of state of Wisconsin and q
close friend of Senator LaFollette.
John J. HGncan the senator's secre-
tary, is very active and spends most
of his time at the headquarters. His
interest in the movement is only nat
uTal, as the chief purpose appears to
be to nominate LaFollette for presi-
dent.
The expenses of these headquarters,
according to the most conservative es-
Inmates, must be $4,000 week.
It is admitted that Medill McCor-
mick, Clifford PinchOt, Charles r,
Crane Of Chicago, and Rudolph Spreck-
els of San Francisco, have contributed
to support the LaFollette committee
in Washington. But Crane, who fell
cut with President Taft when his APP
pointment as minister to China was
recalled by the president, has under
taken the work Of financing the Chi
caeo branch headquarters. Crane is
to ne the chief spirit behind the Chi
cago movement. Spreckels, it is said
will direct the general literary propa-
ganda for the LaFollette movement.
Undoubtedly the searchlight will be
turl-ed on the LaFollette movement
very shortly. 1t may disclose nothing
more than the undue activi-
ties of the Jealous friends of the sena-
tor from Wisconsin, who are willing
to give not only their time, but of
their private fortunes to make him
president.
There is one thing that is certain,
that the propaganda in the Evans
building here in Washington has as
sumed an Importance that will engage
the attention of the presidents politi

PIT Brow Women.

The pit brow women work at the
mouths Of English coal mines in sheds
open to the weather at the sides. The
work which they perform has to do
with the sorting Of the coal according
to size and quality and the freeing of it
from stones. There is some lifting to
be done and some pushing. There is
some risk, but not great deal. Wo-
men have been hurt by the catching
of their clothing in the betting and
machinery, but of late there has been
more care than formerly in covering
the parts of the machinery which
proved dangerous At the present
time accidents are rare and confined
for the most part to the crushing of
fingers. There is dust constantly ris-
ing, and this makes the work unt1dy.
Women working in coal get black
faces as we'll as men, but they wear
cloths on their heads, which keep the
dust out of their hair, and the fact
that they are in the open air, together
with the constant muscular exertlon
required, is on the whole beneficial to
their health. Many of the girls are
fine figures and all have good color.
They prefer the occupation to domeS-
tic labor or employment in factories.
The wages they earn range from
shilling to IS. 3d. a day. In the Varl-
GUS colliery towns there are upward
of 5000 women thus emplOyed.-Ex-
