CHINESE REVOLUTION
SITUATION At CANTON
Plenty of Government Troops but of
Doubtful Loyalty.

Hong Kong. April 30.--Advices from
Canton indicate a desperate condition
in that city. Thirty thousand soldiers
are within the walls and there is
great fear that many of these will
prove disloyal if ii appears that the
rebels are about to gain the upper
hand.
The latter have carried on the work
of destruction with fanatical bravery.
Many of them were killed. some fled
To a stort: barricaded themselves with
hundreds of bags of rice. The troops
fired the store and remained at a dis
tance and picked off those who might
seek to escape the flames. Thirty or
more rebels were burned to death
while others committed suicide rather
than be taken.
The rebels have succeeded in doing
much damage To property in addition
to killing some officials. The family
of the viceroy is now living on gum

WILL WAIT FOR THE REPORT
His Confidential Agent Sent
to Los Angeles to Look
Over the Ground-It Is
Probable That Arrange
ments Will Be Delayed.

Los Angeles, Cal. April go No
word has been received direct from
Clarence DarrOw that he would un-
dertake the defense Of John and
James Mcnamara and lacking such
assurances. those interested in the
case of the accused dynamite con-
spirators said today they were up
in the air regarding all plans 10
acquiesce in an early arraignment OF
the prisoners. The labor leaders who
are arranging the preliminaries do
not want the men arraigned until
Darrow is on the ground and the
best information they had today was
that Darrow. instead of coming per
sOnallv TO Los Angeles had sent
confidential representative TO look
over the situation. before he would
agree 70 accept the task Of chief
counsel in such momentOus legal
struggle.
In consequence the arrsignment.
which was scheduled to occur not
later than next Wednesday may bs
deferred and the district attorney is
expected to consent to the delay as
il understood he is not averse to
having further time TO adjust various
technical points on his side of the
case. said to concern the indictments
against the accused which were
drawn hastily after Burns had taken
James Mcnamara and McManigal into
custody at Detroit 1t was also re-
ported in official quarters TODAY that
the arraignment might await the ar
rival by attorneys representing the
National Erectors Association who it
is stated will join in the prosecution
OF the McNamaras
The strike situation in the city has
added to the perplexities Of the labor
leaders The proposition for a gen
eral strike became more than prob
ability today when it became known
that instead of accepting the carpen-
ter's demands for 81 for eight hours
employers were rapidly discharging
all union men. At a meeting last
night the carpenters decided to de
fer the proposed strike from tOmOr-
row. the day originally set TO MAY
T.
The attitude of the employers then.
it was stated today. will largely de-
termine whether men OF other crafts
will join in a general strike to en-
force the demands of the carpenters
and likewise those of the iron work
ers who have been out for months.

PROGRAM IN CONGRESS
FOR THE COMING WEEK
HOUSE WILL CONTINUE RECORD
MAKING.
The Senate Will Hear a Speech anc
Take a Recess.

Washington. d. c., April 3O.-Three
weeks Of the extraordinary session of
the Sixty second congress have made
a record for rapid fire legislation by
the house, with the senate in no haste
to consider that part of the demo-
cratic program already disposed of
by the lower branch
Canadian reciprocity is in the
finance committee, and probably will
not reach the senate floor for several
weeks. Senator Stone Of Missouri will
address the senate tomorrow on the
bill After this speech there will be
nothing before the senate and an ad-
journment until Thursday is probable.
There is no prospect of the senate
considering the house bills for the
popular election Of senator's, the pub
licity of campaign contributions or
the reapportionment bill until the
fate of reciprocity is decided.
In the house the most of the week
viii be devoted to the farmers free
list bill. 1t is probable that debate
will close on Thursday or Friday.
There is no doubt of its passage
The revision of the textile schedules
by the ways and means committee
will follow. While this committee
work is progressing. it is probable that
the house will act upon the report of
the territories committee on state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico.
The New Mexico constitution has
been vigorously assailed by democrats
OF that territory, but il is doubtful
if the committee will recommend any
change that would necessitate a ref
eTence of the constitution TO the peo-
pie of the state. Both constitutions
probably will. be recommended for
ratification.

years, despite recent worldwide de-
clarations to the contrary, is the opin-
ion of George Harris, D. D., LII. D.,
president of Amherst college, judging
from letter of resignation sent to the
board of trustees. Recent canvasses
showed that men of rs and 80 years
still were in supreme command of
their particular branches of industry.
DR.. Harris says in his letter:
Although a particular limit of 20 or
65 years cannot arbitrarily be fixed for
all men as precisely the time when
they cease to have the effectiveness
and initiative of young and middle life,
yet it is inevitable that as the seventh
decade nears completion there cannot
be the impulse, zest, the momentum of
former years. And although for myself
I am not conscious of any impairm
of physical health, nor, if l may say it,
of any dulling of intellectual percep-
ton, and do not feel old, yet 1 am
aware that the passage of time has
brought me toward or even to the end
of the period when one can render the
most efficient service.
81 therefore offer you my resigna-
ton, expecting it to take effect not
later than the next commandments
