CHINESE REBELS.
Foreign Gunboats to Protect For
eignerS---Commander of imper-
ial Troops Assassinated.

Pekin, Oct. ia revolution OF the
most formidable proportions has broken
out in the Central province of Nn-Peh.
Wu-Cbang, the capital, is in the hands
of the rebels, and the great CONNER
cial city OF Hankow is threatened. The
viceroy has fled and the government
troops bave deserted.
Unlike most Chinese uprisings the
present movements is we'll organized and
is being led by some of the most pro-
gressive men in China. The cities Of
Wu-Chang and Hankow face each
other across the Yaingtsee kiang river.
They have population of more than
100000 and are among the most
modern cities in the empire. Some
time ago the people of WuChang threw
their idols into the river and turned
their temples into public schools. Both
cities have electric lighting plants,
great silk factories and cotton mills.
The type of men who are leading the
revolution is shown by their proclama-
ton that no foreigners must be mo-
Tested and that their property must be
respected. In spite OF this, however,
The foreign consuls have telegraped for
aid and at Hankow all white women
and children Lave been placed on Brit
ish steamers.
Peking, Oct. 11.-Fiye foreign gun.
boats have been rushed to Nankow to
protect the foreign residents there. A
dispatch from Wu Chang says that
prior to the capture OF the town by the
rebels, the commander OF the imperial
troops was assaSsinated by bomb.
The yiceroy fled and the victorious
rebels are pillaging and burning all
over the province All last night the
people in Nankow watched the glare
of incendiary fires IN the sky. Thous-
ands fled from the city and the for
eigners barrcaded themselves in the
European section. 1t is not believed
that the government troops will offer
any effective resistance when the town
is attacked.
Hankow, China, Oct. 1.-THE
greatest anxiety is felt here over the
fate Of twenty-five American mission.
aries who were in WI Chang yesterday
when the city was captured by the
rebels. Communication with the city
is completely broken and all that is
known is that fighting and pillaging
has been continuous since the imperial
troops we're driven out.
WI Chang is directly across the
river from here, and has population
Of 100000. 1t is The capital OF the
central province OF Hu-Peh.
Toxic, Oct. IL Advices received
here today by the Japanese government
are that the Chinese rebels in Szechuen
province have not only capture ed the
city Of .Chiauipg, but have made all the
government officers prisoners. THE for.
eign in inhabitants are being protected
by guards OF rebels and there is no
danger OF an anti foreign uprising, the
dispatches say.

Financial Etymology.

Long ago, on an occasion when the
stock market showed signs of manipu-
lation in an advance defying all the
current news, one of the shrewdest
writer's on stocks started to describe
it as "buoyant" The adjective did
not satisfy him and he modified it to
"flamboyant." This did not quite ex-
press the peculiar condition and he
was reduced to inventing word. The
word was "flimflamboyant."
