5000 CHINESE
REBELS KILLED
GOVERNMENT TROOPS WIN De.
CISIvE VICTORY IN BATTLE
At HANkOW.
REv0lU1IoNISTs ARE DESPERATE
Naval Squadron, Aided by Gunboats.
EnfIade the nsurgents-The
Situation at Pekin Is
Worse.

Pekin, Oct. 3O.-Three thousand rev,
dictionaries are reported to have been
killed after desperate artillery battle
between imperialists and rebels at
Hankow. The latter were repulsed and
forced to retreat to Hank Yeng. The
town of Tai-Quen-Fu, in Shan-Si prov
ince, is reported to have joined the
revolution.
A foreign naval representative from
Hankow, who has arrived here, says
that the imperial troops advanced and
captured Kilometre Ten. The rebels,
he said, fought desperately, but re-
tired, leaving guns and much camp
equippage behind. The loss to the
government is said to have been
slight.
The imperial troops success is de-
clared as having been largely due to
the work of the naval squadron under
Admiral Sab, which succeeded in en-
filading the rebels in the trenches.
The Chinese gunboats aided the i'm
perialists materially.
Pekin Situation Worse.
The situation in Pekin is becoming
worse. A verftable panic prevails
among the Manchus, and the Manchu
women are adopting Chinese dress and
attempting to make their feet appear
small by peculiarly constructed shoes.
Trains leaving the capital for the most
part are drawn by two engines, SO
heavily are they loaded. the people sit
- ~, q.
ings. officials are seeking asylum for
their wives and children among the
foreigners.
Americans Wounded at Hankow.
The American consul general at Han
kow, Roger 8. Greene, reports that
an American, A. Fl. Kepler, was wound
ed in the fighting around that city.
DR.. Jackson, the American president
of Boone university of Wu-Chang, also
was wounded during the fighting there.
Consular reports from Marking are
pessimistic. The new troops fear an
attack by the old troops and are clam
oring for ammunition, which the vice
roy refuses them. They were ordered
to leave the city, but declined. The
viceroy at Kiang-Su has chartered the
British steamer Pei-Ching, which lies
IN the river, presumably to take the
viceroy, if necessary.
Six thousand Of the Twentieth divi-
sion at Lam Chau have refused to en-
train for Hankow, and sent memorial
to Pekin asking for the Immediate
granting of constitution.
The loan scheme, whereby China
hopes to raise many million dollars
through Belgian and rench syndi-
cate, is considered dangerous in some
quarters. The national assembly prob
ably will oppose it flercely, while for
eign assistance for the government
probably will arouse among the rebels
an anti-foreign feeling which up to the
present has been absent. A substan-
tial advance on the loan within a fort
night has been arranged.

Sturgeon Fewer Every Year.

The sturgeon fishermen arrived home
1t was the most Improbable season they
had on the Delaware. Very few sturgeon
were caught and many had yery1ittle roe
in them, Some did not clear expenses
and few made little more than expenses.
Forty years ago sturgeon were SO plen-
tiful on the Delaware river as t be con-
sidered a nuisance before their value as a
food article was extensively known. For
the past fifteen years the catching of
sturgeon declined so much that only a
few continue to fish for them. Some
years ago the fishermen who had invested
most extensively in the sturgeon fishing
industry had a law passed to prohibit the
catching OF the mammoose or small stur-
geon. Later a law was passed to prohibit
the catching of all sturgeon after July LIST.
Pennsylvania passed similar laws, but
Delaware refused TO do SO to satisfy a few
p%ot-hunters who wished to float up and
down the river all summer for a few fish
with no prospects nor care for the future
With the change OF Legislators similar
influence had the law repealed because
Delawareans could fish. AS a conse.
quence, the catching OF all large roe stur
geon with no close of season the sturgeon
fishing industry on the Delaware River il
near the end.
Harry A. Dolbow who is most inter
ested in the canning Of caviar thinks
there can be no revival of the industry
until the U. s. Government takes full
control of the fishing industries ant
makes close seasons for a length of tim
sufficient for fish to increase, such as j
done by the government in Canada, wher'
certain waters are closed for years Will
Others are opened. When the fish in TIL
open waters decline, then the othe
waters which have peel closed to, 6shinI
are opened, after there has been an in
crease supply Of fish grown fit for food
In that way Canada has a supply OF foo
fish.
