Spokane - With 61S musicians in
one band, under one leader, playing
national airs, thousands of wildly en-
thusiastic auditors at the apple show
auditorium shouted, cheered, waved
hats and handkerchiefs and sang.
They even danced with joy. The
band, it is claimed, is the largest ever
gathered together in the United
States.
1t was a gala day for Spokane. 1t
is estimated $4,000 persons saw the
afternoon parade. Thousands of
people lined the downtown streets in
the evening to view procession of 80
bands.
At the Country Life congress the
interest continued without abatement
and the day, devoted, to the producers,
was one Of more than usual interest.
But the climax of the whole day of
joy came at the apple show when all
the bands were grouped under the
leadership of M. B. Compton, sent out
one grand volume of music that fairly
made the canvas roof of the exhibit

Special message on the regulation

Tacoma = Announcement has been
made here at the Offices of the O.-W.
K. q N. company of reduction of 10
cents per 100 pounds in the rate on
shingles from Tacoma and Seattle to
Denver and Colorado points. This will
give Tacoma rate of 80 cents. the
same as the rate from Portland. The
reduction is the result of long-contin-
ued complaints ON the part of Ia
coma shippers, that they were un
able to compete with Portland. The
new rate goes into effect in Janu-
airy, 1912.

Pekin-Hang Yang has been occu-
pied by the imperial forces, which
crossed the Han river 20 miles above
that place. Wuchang has made pro-
visional capitulation, and it is evident
that the government is getting a
strong hand in that part Of Hupeh
province, where few weeks ago the
rebels seemed to have supreme control.
There Is no news Of Ii Yuen Hing,
the revolutionary commander, and 1t
is not known whether he led the de-
Tense of Hang Yang or directed it
from Wuchsng. 1t is believed that
the rebels will not surrender; rather
that they will prefer to take chances
of fight in the open country. The
rebels have endeavored to obtain the
terms offered by Yuan Shi Kai three
weeks ago, but it is reliably reported
that Lieutenant General Fang Ko
Chwang, commander Iof the imperial
troops at Hankow, refused to grant
them.
A Hankow consular report says it
was foregone conclusion that the i'm
perialists would win If they attacked
seriously, because of superior organ
ization. During the attack every po-
sition was heavily shelled. The i'm
perialists numbered probably 10000
modern drilled men. The rebels were
for the most part volunteers, perhaps
equal in numbers to the imperial
forces.
Yuan Shi Kai's position seemed
hopeless two days ago. He was de-
serted by former followers upon whose
help he counted. Both Chinese and
foreign residents in Pekin believed
that the dynasty was on the verge of
abdication- Friends urged the. pre-
mier to capitulate; others, fearing his
assassination, endeavored to persuade
him to take refuge in the foreign con-
cessions at Tien Tsin.
Today Yuan Shi Kai is the one-man
government, combining in himself
both legislative and executive powers,
but it is now expected that the men
recently appointed to the cabinet will
come to Pekin promptly.
A certain awe surrounds Yuan Shi
Kai. The national assembly feared
him and did not dare to insist upon his
presence before it. The membership
preferred to leave the capital when
the army rallied Unexpectedly.
The premier removed suspected off
GERS and rewarded the soldiers with
bits of money, in spite of the treas
ury's plight. He even sent Manchu
troops away from the capital to the
front and he is now sending reinforce
ments to Pukow, opposite Marking, as
well as to Hankow and Shansi.
If the premier were able to obtain
a foreign loan he would control the
situation. The opinion is held, how
ever, that the revolution is by no
means ended. The legations believe
the dynasty saved unless the rebels
succeed in fulfilling their threat to
kill Yuan Shi Kai with dynamite.
The premier recently informed Sir
John Jordan, the British minister, that
ne did not fear assassination.
