Marking. this evening, is the shambles
Of the Manchu butcher The sun set
upon scene of fire, rapine. desola-
ton and butchery unreeorded in mod
ern history.
Tonight, 1000 Manchu and Imperial
old-style soldiers hold Purple hill,
where they are entrenched, while from
beneath their stronghold they are driv-
ing before them hordes of Chinese out
of the city.
Innocent Chinese leaving everything
behind them, are fleeing, terror-stlick-
en- and destitute to the shelter in the
fields at the rear of the reform forces
The latter, numbering between 10000
and 10000, are impotent to check the
slaughter or ayenge the slain because
of their lack of ammunition.
The revolutionists had delayed sec
end concerted attack upon the Man
chus pending the arrival of ammuni-
ton expected from Shanghai. The
Manchus took advantage of the situa-
ton.
During last night the Republicans
made a demonstration. but did little
shooting. and there We're few fatali-
ties. The main body of the reformers
remained in camp three miles distant
from the city awaiting the arrival OF
ammunition, which is coming in boats
on the river and being brought across
country on pack horses. Reinforce
ments are also coming from every di-
reetien. They are raw and ragged re-
eruits. but determined. and the final
battle promises to be desperately
fought.
The foreigners are being treated
with the utmost consideration. When
the gates were opened, this morning,
the people thronged toward the coun-
try, each carrying his belongings and
driven by the Imperialists. Soon aft
efWards the carnage commenced. Since
the night of Nov s, when the first at
tack as made by the revolutionists,
the Tartar general has endeavored to
terrorize the inhabitants by whole
sale executions. Those whose queques
had been cut off were beheaded by the

enter INTO the proposed legislation for
the insurance of railroad men against

took immediate issue with him, saying
that he did not believe that man
could be decently buried for less than
$125 or $3.50. In reply Mr.. Whiting cited
the fact that the Italian authorities
had fixed $50 as the limit of funeral
expenses of Italian subjects killed on
American roads. But responded Mr..
