FORCED
To RETREAT By ROYAL|STS

Hankow, Oct 19.-After crossing the
river and throwing 1000 soldiers into
the royalist camp before imperial re
Inducements came from the notrh, and
using heavy artillery to keep back the
warships while the evenly matched
armies fought all day on land, the rev
olutionists were forced to retreat last
evening, their ammunition exhausted
The engagement was fought on the
north bank of the Han river, just west
of this city
The revolutionists temporarily drove
the imperial troops back from their
position, but in doing so they exhaust
ed their rifle ammunition and were
compelled to retire on their base at
Wu-Chang.
The revolutionists. with infantry
and artillery, attacked the govern
.ment troops, which were reinforced
from the Chinese warships in the river
and supported by the guns of the fleet.
While the fighting was in progress
the thirteen foreign vessels in the
river landed a joint force under com-
mand of Vice Admiral Sir Alfred L.
Winsloe, commander of the British
fleet, who becau seof his senioriay has
been given the direction of the men
engaged in the protection of foreign
concessions.
The Red Cross neutral camp in
charge of DIR. MacWillie of the Amer
lean mission received and cared for
the rebel wounded.
About 1000 revolutionists were pit
ted against an equal number of royal
soldiers and it was a fair fight Early
reports that the rebels outnumbered
the enemy five to one were incorrect.
Only a part of the revolutionary army
participated and they are claiming that
they would have routed completely the
soldiers from the north if their am
munition had held out.
This evening the imperial troops are
awaiting reinforcements while the rev.
olutionists are replenshing their sup
lplies. A renewal of hostilities may
take place soon as it appears to be the
plan of the rebel leaders to force the
fighting before the imperial troops
have been further strengthened. The
latter had intended to delay an at
tack on Wu-Chang until their numbers
were sufficient to make a victory prob
able, and it had been rumored that
there would be no battle before next
Saturday.
The rebels, who occupy Wu-Chang
Hankow and Han Yang were alive tC
the governments purpose, and during
last night they crossed the Yang Use
Kiang river from Wu-Chang and al
daybreak fell on the imperial army
The fighting was severe, but it is i'm
possible to estimate the casualties as
| the correspondents were not permitted
near the firing line and those who wit
messed the battle from the river were
! fired on.
At the first sound OF firing Admiral

there are now enough cases upon the
docket of the supreme court of the
United States to consume the time of
the court for the next two years, and
that unless this case is again adj
vanced upon the docket it will not be
reached in it's regular order for more
than a year after it reaches the SUI
preme court; but owing to the public
Importance of this case, and inasmuch
as the solicitor general moved to adj
vance it upon the docket last year we
hope to get him to move its advance
ment upon the docket as soon as an
appeal is filed from the court of ap-
peals, and it is our hope to get this
case argued and finally submitted to
the supreme court before the adjourn
ment of the court in the spring of 1912.
We have pressed the consideration
of this case in season and out of sea
son and at all times as vigorously as
we possibly could, and our people may
rest assured that we will continue to
vigorously press its early considera-
tion at all times in the future.
Yours very truly,

National Attorney for the Cherokee
Nation.

COMMISSION FOR
BETTER SERVICE
Pioneer Telephone Company Given
Thirty Days in Which to Install
Adequate Service.

Oklahoma City, Oct 19-An order
was made Wednesday by the corpora
tion commission in the case of the
complaint of citizens of Muskogee
against the Pioneer Telephone and
Telegraph company, the order giving
the company thirty days in which to
install adequate service. The Pioneer
company also is directed to deduct
one-third from its bills for service dur
ing the pas month to compensate pa
irons for the alleged neglect.
The complaint was made by fifty-two
kogee, who filed avits, and in ad-bu eas
business and professional men of Mus
kogee, who filed affidavits, and in addi-
ton many letters were received by the
corporation commission with informal
complaints
"The aff1davits complain of most
every objection that could be raised
to telephone service" says the order
by the commission.
The order also holds that the COM
pany has an up-to-date plant at Mus
kogee, and says:
There can be no reason for the con-
dition existing there, other than ne
glect or carelessness. When people
of officait and professional life COM
plain as a body of telephone service,
as has been done in this case, it is
something out of the ordinary, since
men of this class do not make COM
plant for caprice or because of temp
orary irritation, but are usually driven
to such action by uncomfortable condi-
tions, and this certainly was the con-
dition at Muskogee."
The telephone company had asked
thirty days in the event that an order
was entered requiring them to give
good service, in order that their force
might be reorganized and adequate
service rendered. On this ground, the
commission ordered a one-third reduc-
tion of telephone bills in Muskogee, de-
claring in the order:
IF the service is in such condition
that it requires thirty days to put it
in shape, the people of Muskogee
should not be required to pay full price
for telephone service during that time.
AT least rent for telephone service this
month should be reduced one-third. If
the Pioneer Telephone company
charges the high telephone rate author
lied by the supreme court at Enid, it
should give service"
Companys Statement.
Regarding the order, S. H. Harris, at
torney for the Pioneer Telephone com
pany, issued the following statement
last night:
The company has no knowledge of
any such order as issued by the cor
poration commission except that at
the time of the hearing in Muskogee
it was agreed that the company was
to have thirty days in which to correct
any weaknesses in the service, this

the service filed by group of citizens
