CHINESE EMPIRE
TOTTERS BEFORE
Rebels ATTACKS
Capture of Chang=Chau Places
in Hands Of RevoIutioniSts
Strategic Key to Railroad
Control of China
fBv Associated Press. J

SHANGHAI, China, Oct. f25.-The. cature
of Chang-Chou by the revolutionists was
announced in dispatches which reached
this city shortly after noon today. From
a strategic point Of view. this city should
prove of great value to the rebels. 1t is
the junction of the Kai-Fung and Pekin-
Hankow railroads, and is located 255
miles north of Hankow. Its capture ap-
parently cuts off from Pekin all the i'm
perial troops now gathered around Han
kow and WI Chang.
Today's news from the lower Yangtse
valley was all discourag1ng to the gov
eminent. With Kin Kiang in undisputed
possession of the rebels, the imperial fleet
has retreated on down the river, some
of the vessels being reported as far east
ward as WI HUI Conditions are ominous
not onlX in WI Hu, but also in Marking.
Most of the Manchu officials have left
these two cities and are crowding into
Shanghai, where every hotel is already
filed with refugees.
The tao tai of Shanghai today became
so alarmed over the possibility of the
secession of the native city to the reb-
els that he moved his household to the
foreign settlement The tao tai of Nan
king has also put himself under the same
protection
The city of Su-Chow is in panic owing
to the revolutionary threats of 5000 weav-
ers whose wages have been unpaid for
a long time.
Revolutionary agents here announced
today that the insurgents expect to es-
tablisb their headquarters at -4Iu kiang
which will probably be the revolutionary
capital.
The probable attitude of Yuan Shi Kai,
whose lame foot" prevented acceptance
OF the governments commission to put
down the rebellion. is subject of lively
interest here. Yuan is everywhere res
garded as the man of the hour in China.
1t Is limited here that he may be induced
soon TO give the rebel cause his active
support against the Manchu dynasty,
Although the Manchu officials here~con-
tinue to give out false news of the state
of affairs in Chang-Sha and Kiu-Kiang
and other cities in order to create an inn
preston that the imperials are still in
control. the native press of Shanghai and
ia cities throughout south China have de-
fed all censorship. 1t is unquestionably
a fact that the entire Yangtse region and
most of southern China as we'll is COM
pletely revolutionary in sentiment.

clerks aboard northbound Illinois
Central passenger train to gather up
the registered mail and deposit Il In
a gunnysacx while the train was still

night
After riding for several miles and
satisfying themselves that they had

capped In the darkness.
Immediately information of the hold
up was telephoned to police head
quarters, posses were organized and
search for the robbers was taken IN
with the aid Of bloodhounds.
Passengers Not MoIested,
No attempt was made to rob the
passengers, and the train proceeded on
its journey after the report OF the
hold UP was telephoned to Memphis.
Ten men boarded the train, known
as the Panama Limited, bound for Chi
cago and st. Louis, when it slackened
speed in passing the county prison,
about half mile from the Poplar
street station of the road. and in a
thickly populated neighborhood. En-
tering the car they covered the clerks
who were engaged in sorting the mail,
with revolvers and directed that the
registered mail be collected and de-
posted in a sack. Taken by surprise,
those aboard car offered no resistance
and the robbery was accomplished
without the firing of shot.
In the meantime the train had pass-
ed from the city limits and was ap-
preaching the bridge which spans
Wolf river, north of Memphis. Just
before the bridge was reached the rob-
bers gave the signal for the train to
stop and jumped from the car.
