Peking.-China is swept to its four
corners by the revolution. With thou
sands of troops deserving to join the in
surrection almost hourly the government
apparently is powerlcss and the down
fall of the Manchu dynasty seems in
evitable.
Picking, 1000 miles away from the
rebel hold, in the center of the province,
is threatened with the fate of Hankow,
a large part of which has been destroyed
and where hundreds of Manchus have
been killed. The government has de-
cided to concentrate it's efforts to save
Picking and unprecedented military &C.
tiyity within the walls of the great
city is the result.
That Picking can be saved is deemed
impossible. The garrison is known to be
partially disloyal and it is feared the
first uprising will be the signal for a
wholesale desertion which can mean
nothing less than the destruction of the
city.
