THE RETAIL MERCHANTS
Considerable Business Transacted at
Meeting Last Night---Commit-
tees Appointed.

There was meeting OF the Retail
Merchants Association last night at
which business Of interest 10 the organ
ization was transacted.
Among the matters discussed at the
meeting was the allegation that some OF
the refuse fruit which is debarred from
sale in Washington by the pure food
laws is brought to Alexandria and dis
posed of. 1t was suggested that the un-
sound fruit was placed in packages
npon the top OF which more wholesome
varieties are placed for deception. 1T
was also alleged that in some cases
parties who take out license for one
team and driver allow half a dozen
other people to transact business under
one license. The matters we're referred
to the committee on legislation who
will confer with the city authorities
and have such procedures brought to q
close.

CHINESE REBELS { {
IN FIERCE BAIT Ties
Many :. Wounded lBeingl Brought to
HankoW---TW0 Battles
in Progress.

Hankow, Oct. lS.--The first reaI
battle OF the rebellion is i'll progress
north OF here where the rebels have
commenced a fierce attack on the
imperial troops Since dawn heavy
firing had been continuous. Many
wounded are being brought into Han
kow attended BY 4 Red Cross detach-
ment, organized among the foreign
residents.
The imperial force consists OF
about 1000 men who occupy a
strongly intrenched position. They
were waiting for reinforcements be-
fore attacking the rebels but the lat,
ter took the initiative and at sun
rise marched from their camp in
front of WI Chang and made a sim
ultaneous attack upon the imperial
troops and the gunboats in the river,
which they shelled from long range
The warships replied but very inef-
fectively and were finally driven tc
take refuge behind the foreign flotil.
la. Two OF the Chinese boats were
badly damaged and were repaired IN
sinking condition. There were per
sistent reports here that Nanking
and Kiu Kiang have fallen into the
hands of the rebels but confirmation
is impossible TO obtain.
The clash between a body of Ger
man marines and the mob which oc-
Cured here yesterday has had a very
bad affect. 1t is difficult to ascertain
exactly what caused the trouble but
several Chinese were killed by the
marines and there is grave danger
that the natives will attempt repris-
ais.
Hankow, Oct. 1S.-Admiral Sab
Cheng Ping has landed a force OF
2,000 men from Tic imperial fleet.
This force was at once attacked by a
rebel army OF over 10000 men. Two
battles are now in progress and the
imperial troops, enormously outnum-
bered, are in danger of being cut to
pieces.

RAIN PREVENTS
TODAY'S CAME.
Torrents Last Night Soaked Ball
Park in Philadelphia. Both
Teams Glad to Rest.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Rain
prevented the playing today OF the
fourth game between the New York
Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics
for the worlds championship.
The postponed game will be played
tomorrow in Philadelphia, weather per-
mitting. At any event it will be played
in the Quaker City the first clear day.
Giant players and fans are elated
over the calling off of today's contest,
as the delay will put Rube Marquard in
much better shape to face the Athletics
and will give Mathewson an extra day
OF rest. so that be can take his turn in
the box again on Friday, strong enough
to go the full route.
Nor has Connie Mack's team man
iiested undue anxiety over the post
ponement. Bender and Plank Hwill
secure more rest and either Of them
will be able to do slab duty tomorrow,
for it is more than likely Manager
Mack will select either the Indian or
Plank for mound work in the next
battle.
The rain began falling here last night
at 10 O'Clock and continued until 10
clock this morning, most Of the time
in torrents.
The infield at Shibe Park was soaked,
despite the mammoth canvas coverings,
while the outfield was the usual sea
OF mud" Members of the National
Commission, after canvassing the situa-
ton, decided that even 1.-THE rain should

ton to permit the playing OF the game,

OF as the Huguenots were under
Canada the Firms can place little In
Bible taken from them and their
Protestant church and meeting
houses abolished or put under in
tolerabie restrictions.
Therefore, the Firms are determ-
ined not to part with the old consti-
tuition without a hard struggle. The
imperial authorities of Russia are
determined not to compromise on
their demands, and the next few
years will be fraught with great anx-
iety.
The Finnish leaders plan of cam
paign will be restricted to a passive
resistance, the leaders hoping that
when the Russian imperial anthori-
ties recognize the strength of the
natural sentiment they will abandon
their policy of coercion.
On the other hand the Firms are,
however, prepared to stand for a per-
iod of repression as severe as that of
1S99-19O5.

successes.
The most interesting farm of the
Copper River region is that of James
Fishe on the Gakona, about fifteen
miles north of Copper Center. Here.
several sorts of vegetables and grain
are grown on g commercial scale.
The ranch is close to the government
wagon road to Fairbanks and the
products firad a ready sale at good
prices to the roadhouses along the
trail aad to travellers. Oats are in
especially good demand and the
prices they bring alone make the
farm a profitable investment.
There Is not the least doubt, de-
spite some contrary expressions of
opinion, of the success of agricul-
ture in Alaska or in this part of it
and unquestionably as the mining
and trading population increases
with the opening of the country by
the railway to tidewater farms will
spring up in many valleys and will
prove productive and highly profit
able.
The Chitina leader., 1911-02-04

While there is little prospect for
farming in the immediate vicinity of
Cordova much of it's tributary terri
tory promises well for market gard
ening to supply the mining camps at
least. Not until one passes the first
range of mountains, which the Cop
per River pierces at Wood Canyon,
do the favorable lands begin and
they grow better as the great Tan
ana valley is reached.
Nevertheless there is excellent
bench land along the Kotsina and
Chitina Rivers that give the highest
promise of yielding regularly and
richly. Vegetables have been ma
tured annually at the Bonanza mine,
within a short distance of the glac-
iers but the elevation there is con-
siderably greater than in the valley
and there is danger from early frost.
Along the trails of the Chitina the
hay and grain carried in for feed
gives an annual volunteer crop that
shows the favorable qualities of soil
and climate and on the Kotsina sew
eral homesteads have been taken up
and ranches will be running there
next summer.

River. at Copper Center, the federal

GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA.

received at the Leader office this
week from Mrs. Ora Burrows, we'll
known in Chitina, who wishes to be
remembered to her many friends
here, and sends greetings from sunny
California in verse, which will be ap-
preciated by readers of the Leader:
Dear friends, 1 send these few lines
forth,
Laden with greetings of warmth
and cheer,
To rendered ones in the frozen
North,
While 1 sit mid the roses, in sun
shine here.
Birds never sang such clear, sweet
AS here, where the southerns breezes
And the perfume of flowers on the
night air floats.
Where the fields are dressed in en-
erald green,
And the poppy in golden glory is
spread
Ger all the broad plains, and hill
sides between
The long row of vines, trimmed
in russell and red.
While peach orchards glory in green
and pink,
The pear, plumb, cherry and ap-
ricots bend
Dressed by the fairies in snowflakes,
I think
And a wealth of sweetness to the
soft breezes lend.
Where the orange groves bend meath
burdens of gold,
And their dark green leaves add
their beauty, too,
While the snow white blossoms and
buds unfold,
And over it all falls diamonds OF
In the olives cool shadow, dusky and
soft,
Where the sunbeams steal through
the waving leaf,
And the cooling dove, with its mate,
sits aloft;
All Nature rejoices in Spring s
sweet release.
I roam DER the fields and garner
their gold
In garlands of buttercups and
baby-blue-eyes,
And thousands of these sweet treas
ures l hold
Some yellow as gold, some blue as
the skies.
And I drift and dream on the rivers
breast,
Under the oaks, where the wild
vines cling,
Mid sunshine and roses, with sou,
at rest
1 listen to children and bird-voices
sing.
So a message of love and remem
brance / send
To the friends who roam meath the
North stars light:
May Summer, its beauty and warmth
soon lend
You the magic to Danish your lonf
winters night.

APOLOGY
MADE IN PUBLIC
Social Scandal Leads to En-
barrassing Situation.

Passaic, n. J.. Aug. 6.-Rev. Arie ]
Vandenheuvel. pastor Of the North Side
Christian Reformed Church. to-day made
a public apology before his congregation
for acting unwisely in making an afh'
davit in the divorce suit brought by
Harry Hettem, a member OF his congre-
cation. The apology was the result OF
an order from the Hudson Chassis Of the
Reformed Church. which took up the
matter at its annual session in Paterson
last week.
Nearly 800 members were present al
the service conducted by the Rev. K.
Vangoor, Of Paterson. who preached on
the evils OF allowing social scandals
to so involve the members as to almost
cause the disruption Of the church.
Following the sermon. Mr.. Vanden-
heuvel made his apology, tears rolling
down his cheeks. admitting he had acted
with indiscretion when he made the affi-
davit giving out statement which had
been made before him by Mrs. Hettem
supposedly in confidence. Many in the
congregation wept with the pastor.
