Olean. n. Y. oct 2S.-That the bed

web If sensational bulletins and contra
dictions from China one thread shines
out in unmistakable lustre. The revolu-
tion is essentially bloodless one and
IS making headway in one populous
province after another Ii Yuan Heng.
alter inexplicable delay in taking advan-
tase Of his first victory, has emerged as
master of central China and has been
irregularly proclaimed President OF the
republic
His ascendancy is apparently due to
the Incompetence Of the Regent and the
panicstricken mandarins and TO the mis-
management Of the Hankow railway
rather than TO his own military qualities.
yet he is described by missionaries here
rs q man of force and of sound judg-
ment, who has been trained in japanese
schools, who speaks English fuently and
is in accord with Western ideas OF civ
iization.
Against the successful revolutionist
stands the military dictator Yuan Shih-
kai. armed at last with absolute powers
by the desperate Manchu mandarins, who
have dismissed the War Minister and
other officials and listened submissively
to the demands Of the National Assem-
hly, and who are making secret prepara-
uons for fight. His prestige is the last
resource Of moribund dynasty for ar
resting the progress of the revolution
ists, and may be serviceable in forcing
lhtr leaders 10 enter into negotiations
Tor peace without protracted campaign

League Will Withdraw
It's Endorsement.

William Willett. Of Queens. the Demo-
cratic nominee for justice of the Supreme
Court. was practically repudiated yester-
Gay by his associates on the ticket. Her
bert T. Ketcham and Patrick T.. Callahan.
Both men issued statements regarding
the withdraw of the action for criminal
libel against William Berri, clearing their
own skirts, and leaving il to Mr.. Willett
TO speak for himself. Mr. Callahan went
80 far as To say that certain facts had
convinced him that so far as Mr.. Willett
was concerned there were strong grounds
for the position taken by Mr.. Berri and
The Standard Union"
In the opinion OF politicians. the scan
ddl means not only the defeat Of tho
Democratic ticket lut also tha defeat Of
McCooey as county leader
The District Attorneys Offices Of both
Kings and Queens counties manifested
an interest in the proceedings yester-
that the alleged libel might be thrashed
out in court after all.
Mr.. Willett explained what he had
done with the 10000 ne drew from
the bank recently. and challenged Will
lam Berrl. publisher of The Standard
Union" to prove its libels in court"
He had joined his colleagues in with
drawing the action for criminal libel
against Mr.. Berrl on Friday at the re-
quest Of John II. McCOoey. leader of
Kings County, he said, but he was still
convinced of the guilt of the paper. The
$4,000 he was supposed to have paid
for his nomination he still has in his
possession he asserted, and he intends
using it FOR paying his campaign ex-

Say Judge Mathewson Is Out.

The following communication has been sent out from New Haven rela- tive to the Municipal Court judgeship. IL says that as il now stands Judge Mathewson, formerly of this city, whose term expired April lst, is now out and that there Is now no judge Of the city court. It reads as follows:
 "There has been an interesting dis covery made here which bears enter tainingly on the pending judgeship controversy. It has been observed that the Constitution in Article XX, adopted October, 1876, specially pro- vides that judges of the city courts and police courts shall be appointed for two years" There's nothing about holding over until their successors are chosen. IL follows that Judge Mathewson's term expired April l, and there is now no judge of this court. Any prisoner who is convicted has only to have his counsel take the proper steps and out he goes. This may serve as a hurry-up call to the General Assembly" '"

Work on the Bridge

The Fred Ley Company of Spring. field are rushing the work on the new reinforced concrete bridge to take the place of the iold wooden Long bridge on Bridge street. The old bridge has been totally demolished. This was done by tearing of the heavy timbers and allowing them lto drop into the river and float down stream some hundred yards where boom had been constructed to hold them.
 The abutments were put in last fall and the next step will be building the wooden arches to hold the concrete. The foot bridge al the foot of Bullock street is well patronized and makes an excellent vantage point to watch operations When completed this section of the city will be greatly inn proved and it is to be hoped that the riparian owners twill take pride in cleaning up the lriver bank now covered with debris so that the sur roundings may better set otf the fine new structure.

Evening GrOsbeaks at Woodstock.

Woodstock people and particularly the ones that live in the east parish, are being entertained this winter by visit of a large flock of about seventy. five beautiful evening grosbea These rare birds we're first reported last De- cember near the Quinebaug river and since then have been in different b. calities. Bird experts say that their extended visit is the most notable event in the Ibird annals of eastern Connecticut for many years.
 While other birds migrate from north and south yearly, the grosbeak his home in the mountains of western British America and the northwestern part of the United States and makes an eastern trip across the continent and occasionally gets into New Eng land state.
 Collectors of bird eggs say the eggs Of the evening grosbesk are almost un- known in collections and are, therefore very valuable.
 Dr. Elliot Cowes says of this bird:-
 A bird Of distinguished appearance, whose very name suggests the far a Nay land of lhe dipping sun, and the tuneiul romance which the wild bird throws around the fading light of day; clothed in striking color contrasts of black, white and gold. he seems to represent the al!egory Of diFunal trans mentauon for his sable pinions close around the brightness of his vesture, as night encompasses the golden heels of sunset while the clear white space enfolded in these tints foretells the dawn of the morrow"
 The pupils of Wequonnoe and Wood stock schools and other citizens are feeding the birds and studying their habits, food and plumage.

-Wilhmanuc is afflicted with a seourge Of measles, which are usually most prevalent in spring. The Chron- icle of Thursday last says:
 That the epidemic of measles in town is much more serious than was first supposed, Is shown by the rapidly increasing number of eases. During January there were hardly more than a score reported 10 the city health ofii- Ger. In February the number inereas- ed to 70 plaS, and So far this month over lao cases have been reported. It is safe 10 estimate that ss many more eases have .not been reported 10 the health authorities. In some families six and seven gre sick with the disease. A peculiar feature is, that a large num- Der of adults gre also sick. The attend anee al the schools has been largely af- fected by the epidemic. So far the city has been fortunate in escaping a large number of deaths from the disease, but there has been half dozen during the present year partially or wholly due to the measles"

The lenten season has Of course effected the patronage in some degree but not the quality of the performances. and the post-lenten sea- son twill see the crowds larger than ever before.
 Thursday night was one of the lar- gest in the history oi the house and long before the show began the standing room only sign WAS hung up. The house was given over 10 the fremen and the proceeds will go to swell the snuster fund. SufPerfaous to add that the management's genelo- sity is highly appreciated by the ire- men and their friends, which embraces the general public. There were l095 admissions and many stood through the entire performance. Before the show the fremen paraded, headed by the American band The band ren dered selections out side and inside the theatre and their work was applauded.
 The Cargill orchestra furnished the music for the performance. The firemen, band, and city officials had seats reserved for them in the center Of the house. Besides the regular pie tures the program included Ovila Guerlin and Graydou Sharpe in illus trated songs, Perry and Casey song and dance entertainers. This pair made decided hit and the audience called them back again and again. Irwin Tourtellotte sung a Gawk song, the fremen joining in the following ehorous:
 c farm yard musicis quaint and queer,
 The leader k old chanticeer, And many sounds do greet the ear,
 When one is on the farm.
 c. the jolly fittle ducks, go Quack,

 Peep, peep, The roostef's tune, His whole life through, Is

Some pictures of the basket ball team and fans taken by Harry Morse on the Soutbridge trip were thrown on the screen and caused a big noise The crowd seemed in the mood for the fun and all enjoyed it.
