REBELS CONVERGE

Fall of Capital City Said to be Mere

He Ceases Attempts to Make Terms BE.
tween the Emperor and the Rebels--
Wu Killed by Government Orders!

Shanghai. Nov. S.-Yuan Shi kai
has stopped trying 10 make terms be-
tween the emperor and the rebels.
He is on his way today to Pekin, re-
ports from Hankow say. Accom-
panying him is his own picked guard,
without which he refuses TO stir any
where. The precaution is generally
considered wise. as the Manchus un-
doubtedly deem him primarily res
ponsible for the rebellion and will
kill him at the first opportunity.
1t is suspected that Yuan will pro-
claim himself dictator following his
arrival at the capital. He is under
stood TO have the opinion that BY no
other means can dfHes; be restored
in China. The rebels regard him as
a grace danger to their cause, and he
is in danger from them as well as
from the Manchus.
Before leaving for Pekin, Yuan
ser. q message to the courat saying
peace "as an impossibilty until the
reforms promised in the recent i'm
periai edict were actually Affected
that merely promising them was IN
sufficient
in view OF the fact that General Vu
was assassinated yesterday in Shan
ST province, was killed by members
of the imperial guard under his COM
mand, it is believed that he was slain
under directions from the govern
ment If anything more was needed
10 arouse the rebels tao the highest
pitch of anger, this has done it.
Revolutionists are conrerging npon
the capital from every direction and
its fall is considered Il question Of
time. Reports are current here that
the imperial palace is on fire and
that The emperor has already fed.
Fighting broke out here today at
Eankin, which has been threatening
for some time to go over 10 the reb-
els. The Manchus there are putting
up a stiff resistance. Warned by the
massacres OF their fellows in several
other cities which have already fallen
into the revolutionists' hands, they
have been entrenching for several
days on Purple Hill, where their To-
sition is said to be SO strong that
it is doubtful If the whole rebel force
can dislodge them. From the Man.
chu standpoint the hill has the ad-
vantage OF overlooking the city of
Nankin, SO that they can keep up Il
continual fire upon it. Details are
lacking but the battle now in progress
is reported TO be very fierce.
Nankin is one OF the most impOr-
tant cities in China. Eeveral other
smaller towns are reported to have
gone over TO the rebels today without
resistance. The English and German
consuls are at Cheefoo.

CONFEDERACY

Richmond, Va, Nov. S.-When the
annual convention of the Daughters
OF the Confederacy met here today,
Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, OF Mis-
sissipppi, daughter Of the late Senator
McLaurin, was sprung as dark horse
in the race for the presidency. Vari-
Gus delegates are badly divided on
other candidates and it was predicted
that Mrs. Stevens would win easily.
Mrs. William Cummins Story who is
candidate for the presidency of the
D. A. r. was present to see how her
Southern sisters conduct their organi-
zation.
Mrs. Virginia Faulkner McSherry,
the president, caused 4 great stir by
compelling the delegates to take off
their hats. She said if the delegates
we're there TO attend to the affairs OF
the convention they would have to re-
move the elaborate headgear, which
blocked the view.

WILL OF PULITZER.

The New York American learned
yesterday from the highest authority
that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer left the man
/ agemcnt of his newspapers to trustees
! because he wished to have followed
! his present policy and TO have main
tanned his present standards. THESE
wishes. he believed, could best be ac-
complished through the agency OF
disinterested set OF men whose jud2-
ment would not be clOuded by self
interest
i. was not the intention Of Mr..
Pulitzer to deprive his newspapers OF
the able guidance of his sons for all
time. According to the same high
authority the active control of Mr..
PulitZer's newspapers will again pass
10 his direct descendants when the
youngest son, Herbert, now a lad OF
IA, reaches an age of maturity and
has ripenng.
The Youngest son of Mr.. Pulitzer
was born after the editor lost his
sight. For five years the lad had
been the almost constant companion
OF his father, and was present at his
death
That the father saw in his youngest
born evidences OF unusual ability is
made manifest BY the will wherein
the lad is preferred over his brothers
and sisters. ~

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-Pro-
gressiyes in botn parties saw victory
today in the election results and
were jubilant over the outcome. The
only severe progressive setback was
in New Jersey where a republican
legislature was elected in the face OF
Gov. Woodrow Wilson's vigorous
personal campaign. In the municipal
elections progresives claimed great
grounds for qualification.
The sweeping defeat for Tammany
in New York, where the Legislature
was taken out of the control of Lead
er Murphy; the crushing blow de-
livered to Boss Cox in Cincinnati; the
election of TON l.. johnson man
to be mayor, Of Cleveland; the re-elec-
tion Of Brand Whitlock, in Toledo;
the victory of Rudolph Blankenburg
over the Penrose machine in Phila-
delphia and the result in Kentucky,
where q Democratic landslide will
nut Ollie James in the United States
Senate, with various other features
in the returns, all were hailed by
progressives, regardless of parties,
as victories for the rule Of the peo-
ple."
Though optimists in all branches
ofoall parties found much basis for
qualification. the democratic national
leaders seemed most jubilant. They
saw great significance in the heavy
Democratic vote in Ohio and especial
lye the democratic victory in Presi-
dent Taft's home city, Cincinnati.
They hailed the election of Foss in
Massachusetts as a reputation of
republican tariff principles and con-
tended that the result was based al
most entirely upon national issues
On the other hand, the republican
leaders pointed to the republican
gains as the basis for prediction
that the Bay state would swing back
to the Republican column in the ma
tional election next year.
The democratic leaders also re-
joiced in the Congressional results.
They were overjoyed at the reported
election of Thomas NJ. Farrell, a
democrat, to succeed the, late Rep
resentative Loudenslager, of New Jer-
sey, who for years was secretary of
the republican Congressional COM
mittee. The victory for Dan VI
Stephens, democrat, elected to Con-
gress from Nebraska, and Joseph A.
Taggart, democrat, from Kansas. were
hailed by democratic leaders as evi-
dence of the sentiment in the middle
west on national issues.
Great gains were scored every
where by the Socialists, who elected
mayors in ten Ohio cities; gained a
sweeping victory in Schenectady, n:
Y, where a mayor and an assembly,
man were elected. The Socialists
leaders are more enthusiastic than
they have been in years, and predict
that in next years election the Social
list vote will break all records by an
unprecedented margin.
The defeat of Gov. Wilson's candi-
dates in New Jersey was attributed
largely to the power of the ,rganiza-
tion headed by James Smith, jr.,
who was defeated for the Senate by
Wilson's influence, and there was
much speculation as to the affect the
result will have on Wilson's Presi-
dental boom. The Harmon demo
Gratis were greatly encouraged ard
pointed out the comparative results
in Ohio and New Jersey as indicating
the relative strength of Harmon and
Wilson.
