Several thousand Chinese troops have reached the outskirts Of Hank ow, while troops trains are carrying thousands more to the scene Of the revolutionary rising in Hu Pen.
 Eight Chinese ships of war and ten or twelve foreign warships hare assembled off Hankow.
 Pekin advices say Wu Change, where the rebels are in force, will be bombarded probably on Saturday.
 The German foreign office at Der In reports the receipt of advices from Hankow saying German blne- jackets cooperating in the interna.. tional landing movement, participated in an engagement in the streets wlt.s the Chinese mob.
 Acting Consul Gilbert has notified the American legation at Picking that the fail of Manking is imminent.
 Kai Flung, the capital Of Hanan Is reported to have fallen into ths hands of the revolutionists.

 The Chinese foreign board has is- sued an optimistic communication announcing the arrival of troops at rIankow and anticipating the speedy recapture of Wu Chang and Han Yang. Nine troop trains left Pao Ting Fut today All the soldiers are in excellent spirits. Late advices from Hankow say 5000 government troops are eHcamped outside of Hank low.
 So far as can be learned the sit- uation at Wu Chang for the last few days has remained unchanged. Thefe are no indications that the rebels. possess any allies at points else- where and considering all circum- stances ionnectei with the rising h the provinces of Flu Pen and du Nan, the revolutionists do not ap- pear to be making much progress.
 It Is said the insurgents number at the most 6,000 drilled men, to- Rether with a few thousand armed auxiliaries. It is asserted by the Chinese officials that their success at Wu Chang was coup q main. precipltated by the seizure and de- capitatlon of civilian revoIutionaries.

6 TALESMEN
 ARE PASSED
JURY IN M'NAMARA CASE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE coMPLET.
 ED FOR TWO WEEKS.
Wide Range is Being Taken In the Examination of the Probable jur- prs, Reaching into Religious
 Affiiaton.

'ssSS fAhSNiNS, Ndlst OSl. II. -. hS defense in the McNamara murder trial had passed six talesmen, one had been excused by the court, and two excused through challenge for cause, when court adjourned tonight.
 More was accomplished today than any since the trial started. Of the six talesmen passed. at least one seemed virtually sure of rejection before the jury is completed to try James !. McNamara for the death of Charles J. Haggerty, who was killed in the Los Angeles Times ex- ploson and fire.
 Tine line up of tue passed tales men tonight was:
 w. Roberts. real estate dealer
 Robert F. Bain, carpenter.
 H. Y. Quackenbush, expressman, A. R. Mcintosh. baker.
 T. W. Adams, groer.
 c. w. MceKee, retired real estate dealer.
 Today's rejections were:
 z. T. Hiatt, excused by court be- cause of scruples against capital 
 Samuel McCreary, challenged for bias, after he had said he had fix ed opinion as to whether the Times disaster was caused by a criminal act. He said he was acquainted with Harry Chandler, son in law of Gen eral Harrison Otis, proprietor of the Times, but never had discussed the case with him.
 Edmund S. Johnson was challeng- ed and excused. He said he was against labor unions.
 Talesman Qyackenbush. it was thought tonight, would not find him self on the final jury because he did not believe in capital punishment.
 Talesman Adams said he read as rule the Los Angeles Times, the So- cial Democrat. and the Appeal to Reason.
 At this rate jury may be obtain ei within two weeks.
 Court convened promptly at 1O:00 o'clock for the first time since the trial began. Veniremen E. F. Dreeker and Seaborn Manning were placed in the jury box. bringing the number up to twelve.
 Interrogation of Qgackenbush, an expressman, then was begun. He said he was 65 year old. The usual qpestionas as to what local newspa- pers he read, and their editorials on capital and labor were directed at him. The veniremen said he had never taken any part in discussions for or against lbor unions. He said he had been asked to join labor un- ion but had not done so though he had no prejudice against them.
 Do you remember any discussion on the case?' asked Mir. Darrow.
 Well, I remember discussing as to whether it was caused by dyna- mite or gas"
 Remember who discussed it?"
 "No."
 After Interrogation as to Quack- enbbush's memory MT. Darrow said:
 q don't think either siie wants a juror like that. We challenge him on his mentality
 ''E ion think we are prepared to allow that challenge" said Judge Bordwell.
 i've object to the manner of ex- of counsel for the defense, said District Attorney Fredericks. The questions are skilfully framed to draw attention to particular things and no matter what a mans mental ity is, he can answer about things in which he was not interested ["
 All right, we withdraw the chal- lenge." said Mir. Darrow. and contin- ned the examination.
