Landing of Troops in China Might
Mean Massacre

Washlngton.-That the greatest peril
threatening the foreigners in China at
present is from their own friends and
the first movement toward intervene
tion between the warning factions
would lead to the instant fusion of the
discordant elements and combined at
tack upon all foreigners, is the sub
stance of mail report to the war

China. Information of the same tenor

Foreigners Are Trying to Get Out,
But Find It Impossible.

Marking, China--The revolutionar,
forces have taken possession of tn,
city after parley with the imperia
government forces who were in occupa
tion. At midday December 2 the
white flag was displayed on Lion fort
inside the walls, to the northwest, in
dicating that the gunners had joined
the revolution.
General Ii Yuen reng, the revolu-
tionary leader, who had captured Tiger
for a few days ago, occupied Shai
Kwan, a town on the banks of the
river outside the city of Marking.
Thereupon the warships under the com
mand of Admiral Sha, which had hith-
erto lain two miles down the river, eau,
tiously approached and took position
under the guns of Lion hill fort.
General Lin, second in command of
the revolutionary forces, took the
TAPPING gate and then arranged the
terms of capitulation of the city.
Later on, the revolutionary troops
entered and took possession of the tele-
graph office. White flags began to ap-
pear everywhere and no fighting oc-
cured when the revolutionaries entered
the streets.
Reliable revolutionary reports say
Pu Kow, across the river from Nan
king, is surrounded by rebel troops IT
is occupied by 1,5O0 imperial soldiers
Conditions Again Normal.
Conditions in Marking now are al
most normal. The revolutionary forces
have appointed police patrols through
out the city. General Chang, the i'm
perial commander, escaped across the
river to Pu Kow, the night before the
revolutionary forces entered the city,
it is believed, with the consent and
connivance of the rebel commanders
From Pu Kow General Chang, accom-
panied by 1000 picked troops from the
garrison at that town, proceeded
northward 1t is thought he will at
tempt to join the northern army
through Shantung
The foreign warships have returned
to their anchorage opposite Shat
Kwan. Trains have begun to run into
Marking.
Reports from Szechuen province are
not reassuring. Many foreigners are
unable to leave because the governors
find protection from having foreign
ers within the various towns, which
guarantees against attack. 1t is sug-
gested that the foreign governments
request Premier Yuan Shi Kai to ask
General Ii, revolutionary commander,
to furnish an escort for isolated for

ANNUAL. REPORT OF

Notwithstanding to the an.

exports for the year amounted to $780,

the high record established by 1910.
Imports reached the unprecedented
value of $49,s33, 1872, but this amount
is not fully comparable with the small

An Orange, Texas, man is said to
have invented machine for weighing
granular substances, such as coffee
rice, beans, hominy, ETC., that takes the
place of scales. Instead of weighing
the article the machine delivers it by
measurement based on weight. 1t is
provided with attachments and dial
bearing various prices. When the dial
is set for certain price and the ma
chine is adjusted to measure out that
amount of, say, coffee, for instance, it
does not have to be set again unless
the article to be sold is changed. 1t
is claimed for it that it enables the
putting up of packages containing
neither more than or less than the
amount called for in considerably less
time than is now required.
