REDUCE SALARY
OF THE MA YOR
5000 PER YEAR.
.NANkINC FALLS
TO The REBELS
AT Same Time Imperialists
Take Wu-Chang.

Desperate fighting Is reported on
all sides in China today. 1t appears
that both the reyolutionists and the
imperial forces have gained VIC
tory. Dispatches from Shanghai
state that the rebels rushed the Nan
king fortifcations today and cap
tured the city after desperate
hand to hand fight in which 700 i'm
perialists and 500 reyolutionists
were killed
Another dispatch from Shanghai
says that WI Chang has surrendered
to the impeiiaiists 1t is also init
mated that Shanghai also is under
the control Of the inlperiaiists.
1t was the loss of Ham Yang that
disheartened the rebels and made ii
easy for the loyal troops to move on
Wu-Chang and take that city also.
Wu-Chang is an important position
and 1t is generally believed in Pekin
that this means the backbone of the
rebellion is broken.
Foreigners in the danger zone are
appealing to their home government
to come to the rescue.
A Pekin dispatch says that while
indications point to the ultimate
success OF the rebels, fighting in that
vicinity, the imperial forces again
have the upper hand in the Hankow
district
Word comes that the rebel leaders
around Hankow have appealed to
the foreign consuls to mediate with
a view to securing three days arm
sistice to enable them to consult with
other revolutionary centers about
considering Yuan Shih Kai's pro-
posal for limited monarchy.
II these reports are true, 1t can
only mean that the position Of Yuan
Shih Kai as premier has been great
ply strengthened Meanwhile the re-
publieans are banking strongly on
the capture Of Nanking. The repub-
licans claim that the fall of Nan
king will establish their cause firm-
ly in central and southern China.
The Manchus are said to be ex-
tremely anxious over the situation.
Prince Tsaitao is said to be in al
most constant consultation with
General Yin Chang, chief of the gem
eral staff It is assumed that plans
are being made for display Of mill
dtary strength BY the Manehus.

Gen. Gordon made good figure. partly
by reason Of his military record, and
partly because of snowy qualities as a
speaker. Gov. Joe Brown, a man Of real
ability, came Q little late to do himself
full justice. Gov. Colquitts health failed.
as Mr.. Clay's did. though both had made
good impression on their colleagues and
the country.
For time there was hope that Henry
Grady would be sent to the Senate; and
today an opinion exists that had he lived
he would have reached that goal. And
yet 1t might not have proved the best
arena for his talents. He was man
of superior gifts, as warm of heart as
bright of mind. He had Imagination, and
almost a poets vocabulary. He had won
the admiration Of the north, 6 ) a repre-
sentative of that sentiment in the south
which while without apology for the past
bent upon the whole country's progress.
But Mr.. Grady was without training in
or special preparation for public business.
and in the Senate might not have taken
higher rank than that of a brilliant
talker-a sort of entertainer. coming out
strong on field days when set speeches
were in order. For such a man the Sen
ate is hardly the proper place. AS the
editor of a leading newspaper and pop
ular orator, Mr. Grady was well placed,
and served his section and the country
to the top of his unusual and attractive
powers.

Georgia and the Senate.

Although the Georgia legislature acted
without specific instructions in the matter
of the senatorship, 1t cannot be said to
popular desire in the premises The cleo
ton of Mr.. Smith to the governorship
had been a testimonial to his power in
the state. and ii warranted the choice
the legislature now promptly made.
Moreover, he was easily the strongest
man in the race, and would have won,
hands down, even had there been time
for an appeal to a primary. His oppo-
nents had no particular claims on atten-
ton. Mr.. Terrell, by reason Of illness,
had made no record during his short
service in the Senate, and the others
were only local men. Mr. Watson's can
didacy was merely personal protest.
The commission Mr.. Smith will receive
will run until March, 1915. It is easy to
imag CINE him a candidate for reelection,
and then II it is so desired the people
can express themselves about him at the
polls.
With Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Smith on deck
In the Senate, Georgia will stand well
in that body. The former Isl now a
leader on his side, and the latter, while
without legislative experience. has the
ability to command attention at once.
Mr.. Bacon is seventy-two, but man of
vigor, while Mr.. Smith is fifty-five, and
physical giant.
Since the war the state has sent some
notable and useful men to tho Senate.
Ben Hill took high rank for brilliancy.

Free Fans for the Sick.

Ii is common TO speak of the soulless
corpora ton. business creature without
heart or conscience or compassion. But
all corporations are not devoid of SYM
pathy or consideration for the public well
fare. Recently the gas and electric light
ing company of Stockton, Cal, sent the
following notice TO each physician in that
city:
II beg to inform you that during the
remainder of the summer we wish to
place without charge electric fan service
NJ the disposal of every sick person who
cor whose family is unable to pay for
the fan and service. and whose sickroom
can be reached from our present diStrib-
uting lines. We only ask that you certify
In writing to the desirablity of the fan
service from a medical standpoint and to
the financial inability of the patient to
secure the same: also that you notify US
when the necessity of the service has
ceased. IL the house is not wired we
will run service wires and install suffi-
cient interior wiring to operate the fan.
loaning the latter as long as 1t may be
required in your Judgment
1t Is beside the mark to seek for any
Interior motive on the part of this public
service company. 1t certainly deserves
credit for comforting a benefit upon the
sufferers of Stockton, and its example
might we'll be followed elsewhere by cor
porations of q similar character.

was practically broken up for several
years. Latterly, however, it has been
resumed, and the few cases that have been
brought to court by police have failed.
Owing to lack of sufficient evidence, per-
haps due to laundering. few OF the
charges have been maintained, and case
after case has been dismissed. with the
consequence of encouraging the handbook
makers to ply their trade almost openly.
This form of gambling is highly danger
Gus to the moral and business welfare
of the community 1t draws immense
sums out of the lines of legitimate trade
causes domestic distress and leads to
crime. 1t cultivates a contempt for law.
1t embodies all the evils of the old lottery
game that was once sustained by pubic
opinion and countenanced by the law, but
that has been practically driven out OF
existence by an awakened realization on
the part of the people of the menace in
yolved.
The disclosures following the Kemp de-
faIcation shocked that portion of the
public not addicted to the handbook
habit 1t was shown that thousands of
people that could i'll afford to lose dol
lar were daily making bets on horse races
run at a distance from Washington, &C.
casionalIy winning but usually losing.
Instances were discovered where men had
lost many hundreds Of dollars through
these daily bets, sometimes deprlving
their families of necessities. cheating
tradesmen out of their payments for DO
Mestic supplies, borrowing money to meet
their gambling bills and other obligations
and never paying. and even stealing to
get the wherewithal to continue this
corrupting pastime.
Washington desires no repetition OF such
experience. 1t demands the enforcement
of the law, looking to the police or to the
federal authorities if needs be for the ar
rest and prosecution of the professional
gamblers who daily throw temptation in
the way of bettors. If the present ar
rests do not lead TO convictions more
effective measures of detection and prose-
cuton will be necessary.

The Arbitration Treaties.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

from the 81. Louis GI0De-Democrat.
From Toxic comes the news that the
arbitration treaty between the United
States and England, which is now getting
its finishing touches, will compel a revi-
sion OF the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Eng
land has asked Japan to modify the clause
in the treaty of 1905 providing for mutual
assistance in time of war. What Eng
land wants is to make the treaty inappli-
cable in the event that either nation is
fighting country with which the other
has a general arbitration pact. 1t is
said that Japan promptly agreed to make
this change in the league with England
of 1906 which Is held to mean that Japan
believes 1t will never be at war with
either England or the United States.
Moreover. 1t is believed that the modif-
cation will result in the extension of the
Anglo-Japanese compact for fifteen or
twenty years. All of which will be of in
terest not only to the three nations named
here, but to all the other great powers.
