the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, died at
1:40 o'clock Sunday aboard his yacht

He bought the st. Louis Dispatch IL

Post Dispatch, which under his man
agement became in few years one OF
the best known and most widely cir

Pekfn.--The imperialists have been
victorious at Hankow in the greatest
battle OF the revolution. The rebels
have fed in utter disorder TO Han
yang and WI Chang, leaving more
than 5000 dead.
News Of the battle is received from
Wuhu, the nearest telegraph station
to which the wires are working from
Hankow.
The lighting began early Sunday
morning. Encouraged by their sue
cess in retaking the railroad ter
minal at Hankow, the imperial lead
Frs decided upon a concerted assault
and within q remarkably short time
after the orders were given practi
cally all the loyalist forces fell upon
the rebel positions.
Rebel reinforcements in districts
nearby started for the scene, but were
enfiladed by the guns OF Admiral
Sah's squadron. Up to this time the
rebels seemed to have had fair
chance of victory. The shots from
the warships undoubtedly turned the
tide In favor OF the loyalists.
Their reinforcements cut off and
attacked from two sides. The rebels
fought like demons to hold their en-
trenched positions, but the imperial
lists by this time had planted several
Maxim guns and were moving the
insurgents down by the hundreds.
The rebel leaders, realizing that
!urther resistance only meant increased
slaughter, ordered a retreat. They
fed toward the only avenues of es.

treat by vicious fire from the loyal

The number of dead is estimated
conservatiVely at 5000. Later re-
ports will swell this number, it is be-
lieyed. At least 5000 were wounded.
The imperial losses are not given
out, but they are said to be insignia,
cant in comparison.
News of the imperial victory has
caused great rejoicing in court and
official circles here.
There is supreme confidence now
that the rebellion will be crushed

There were two skirmishes between

appeared to be rather serious, but
the government insists the movement
has been thoroughly suppressed. The
penitentiary here is nearly filed with

COAST TO COAST PLAN
VIII Extend Waubonsic Trail East
ward to Make Il Connect With
Old National Pike In
Indiana.

While in Keokuk Wednesday to at
tend the luncheon for shippers and
manufacturers of the city, U. G.
Reininger, Of Shenandoah, Iowa, presi-
dent of the Waubonsie Trail associa-
ton, explained the project now on foot
lot extending the trail eastward to give
1t connection with the old National
Pike, which extends to the Atlantic sea-
board, and westward to Denver and
eventually to the Pacific coast.
Western Illinois especially will be
interested In this trail proposition
The old National Pike was built in the
early fifties by the government and
ran westward through Wheeling and
Columbus, Ind. 1t was headed to st.
Louis when work was discontinued in
the Hoosier state.
The trail now contemplated would
go through Hancock county to Car
thage, where division would be
made. 1t is proposed to carry the
main or lower trail south through
Bowen, Roseville, Beardstown. Spring
field and on to Decatur The upper
trail would touch La Harpe, Canton,
Pekin, Champaign and Decatur. At
champaign the two trails merge.
The old National Pike, extending
from Indiana to the coast is one well
marked and much used. 1t is the rec
Iognized highway from the Atlantic and
is maintained in excellent condition.
Westward it is planned to extend
the Waubonsie trail, completed re-
Gently, from Nebraska City to Denver.
While there is no well defined and
marked route from Denver to the
coast it is believed it will only be a
matter of time before this extension
can be brought about
| President Reininger is quite en-
ithusiastic about the proposition of a
great highway. The matter is of great
importance to keokuk as it will put
the city on a highway which will
bring many tourists through the city
every year.
