Trouble and Disafection Are
Threatening Government
From Leading Points.

Picking, Oct. 2S.-There was little In
the news received at the capital to-
day to reasSure the government or re-
lieve the general feeling OF uneasiness.
The missionaries In this province, Chi
Ii. have been warned by students that
there will be a revolutionary outbreak
near Picking tomorrow. Considerable
credence is attached to the warning us
similar advance information reached
the missionaries at WI Chang prior to
the rising there.
Evidently trouble Is brewing In Tien
Tsin. and a telegram from there con-
tains the ominous statement that the
yamen OF the viceroy at Tsi Nan. the
capital of Shang Tung province. has
been burned.
Consular reports from I. Chang,
which has been isolated for some days.
CONFIRM earlier reports that the city
10 In the possession Of h revolutions
lists. Thus far, there a been no dis
turbances In I. Chang with the excep-
ton of an agitation on the part of
5000 coolies employed on railway con-
.struction who demand payment of their
wages in silver. which cannt be had.
$50 National assembly Meeting.
The national assembly will convene
mere tomorrow. AS there is a senti-
ment In this body u~nfriendly to the
throne the approaching deliberations are
looked forward to with some anxiety.
In view of the possible spread of the
rebellion, the foreign legations are TAX
Ing the necessary military and COM
missary precautions in this city and
at Tien Tsin for the protection of the
legations and the citizens of the re-
spectiye countries which they repre-
sent.
Yuan Shi Kat, the newly appointed
vicercy of the provinces OF HUI 1,eh and
Human. n Yin Tchang. the minister
Of war. are at loggerheads. The former
is dissatisfied with the preparations
made by the minister of war, whom he
characterizes as "boastful and incap-
able"
1t Is understood here that Yuan Shi
Kai is now considering whether he will
take supreme command Of the army
along the Yang TIE river or concentrate
Chang. Should he finally decide not
to carry out either one of these propos-
ais, 1t would be u crushing blow to the
government.
Troops Do Not Move.
Tbs orders issued recently for the
dispatch of 10000 troops now in Man
churia and Shan Lung to Hankow ap-
pear to be treated as a dead letter.
There Is no sign whatever of any such
movement. Three train loads Of troops
are about to leave Mukden, o%stensibly
for Kin Chow, Manchuria. Their real
aeSlinatlon, however, Is believed to be
Picking.
The news CT the defeat of the I'M
perial forces at the hands of the rebels
at Hankow is gradually leaking out.
The public is SO excited that any pos
sible inflanmatory incident such as the
opening of the national assembly to-
morrow Is likely to be the signal for
a crisis at Picking. The attitude OF HI
radical members of the assembly is
most aggressive and 1t is o expected
that the regent will venture to open
the assembly In person.
A dispatch from the British consul
at Hankow dated noon OF October 20,
reads:
The railroad station at Kilometre
Ten was evacuated by the imperial
forces Thursday. The imperialists are
now holding the station at Ten Mile
Creek. The loyalist warships have re-
treated to a point out of sight Of Han
kow."
