SCORES OF DEAD IN STREETS
City Of Hankow DesoIated by Fire and
Sword.

Hankow, China, Oct. 14.-Following
night of terror. with death stalking
through the streets and lurking in
every shadow, this city presents
scene of desolation. All night long
incendiary fires burned throughout
the native quarters. With no effort
made TO stay them the leaping flames
would lick up everything which they
came in contact and to add to the
horrors of the night all the prisons
were opened and the inmates liber-
ated. Many of these are desperate
criminals. Scores of dead were left
lying in the streets.
The revolutionary army is strongly
entrenched in Wuchang and Hanyang,
with guns mounted in commanding
positions. Since the capture of the
Hanyang arsenal the leaders declare
confidently that they are in a position
to cope with any opposition, being
now provided with ample ammunition.

Death Of Justice Harlan Re-

Washington, Oct. 15.-Associate JUS
tice John NJ. Harlan, senior member
Of the supreme court of the United
States. died at his home here, follow
ing a brief illness OF bronchitis, which
developed complications.
He sat On the bench when the DC
tober term of court opened last Mon
day. but on Tuesday was confined TO
his home with a cold which gradually
grew worse.
The aged jIrist won extraordinary
fame last spring when he dissented
from the remainder of the highest
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust decisions, asserting that his as
sociates were amending the law by
reading the word reasonable" into
the Sherman antitrust law.
Harlan served thirty-four years on
the bench. which with one exception
is the longest term in the history of
the country.
The death of Justice Harlan gives
President Taft the duty of selecting
his fifth appointee to the supreme
bench, which will make majority on
the bench of men selected by Taft. In
addition he elevated Associate Justice
White to the position Of chief justice,
which in reality makes six appoint
ments by President Taft. The court

Will Shannon's threshing engine
exploded Tuesday, the back end being
blown out. The cause of the explosion
cannot be determined unless it was due
to weak spot caused by long use as
there was plenty of water in the boiler
and there was not an oversupply of
steam. Mr.. Shannon escaped uninjured
almost by miracle as he stepped TO

PEKING ITSELF
NOW MENACED
Rebel Activity in China Rapidly
Gaining Ground.
FOR DEFENSE OF CAPITAL
Autumn Maneuvers Have Seen Aban-
doned and Troops Ordered to
Entrain for Picking.

Picking, Oct. 14.-China today faces
an unprecented crisis. With the spread
OF revolutionary activity the opinion
is gaining ground that the fate of the
ruling dynasty hangs in the balance.
The revolution is no longer confined
TO the central provinces, a thousand
miles away from the capital Picking
itself is threatened.
Members of the cabinet admitted
that the garrison here is known to
be honeycombed with the revolution
airy sentiment The same condition
exists in the two great military posts
which guard Poatingfu and Tientsin.
There are official attempts TO mini
mize the gravity of the situation, but
the reports reaching the capital gave
little basis for hope. Latest news in
Guided reports that Chungking was in
danger. that Lichang had been taken,
that Yochow had fallen and that COM
munication between Hankow and
Changsha. the capital of Human prov
ince, was interrupted.
The government has followed up its
act cashiering the vicerOy of Wuchang
by extending the same treatment to
General Chang Piao. the commander
OF the troops in the Wuchang district,
where this weeks outbreak began.
For Defense Of Picking.
Every effort of the authorities for
the present will be concentrated in an
attempt 10 provide adequate defense
for the capital Of the empire. The pro-
gram for the autumn maneuvers in
Kaifong, 400 miles south of Picking,
where 10000 troops were TO have par.
ficipated in extensive drills, was can
celled and the Sixth division OF the
army was ordered TO entrain for Fong-
tain, suburb OF this city.
The government, in its reports on
the situation, is attempting to convey
the impression that the revolutionists
are without trained leaders or ade-
Quate organization. But the revolu-
tionaries have reliable chief, well
versed in military affairs, in General
Ii Guam Hon. Secret advices receivedi
here indicate, moreover, that DR.. Sun,
Vat Sen, whom the revolutionists hope
TO elect president of Chinese repub-
lie, was at Shanghai last week and
may by now be on the scene Of opera
ions at Wuchang or Hankow.
