Ing three and one-half years on the
Arctic trails Of the wilds Of the far
North, J. G. Melville has returned to
civilization. One Of the tribes Of Els
kimos that he visited had never seen
2 white man before.
These people show many traits COM
mon to the European races. They
probably are actual descendants Of
survivors Of Sir John Franklin's two
ships. that were lost in these regions
in the middle Of the 10th century and
never heard of again.
Another theory is that they are the
descendants Of the Scandinavian set
tiers of Greenland, who in the middle
ages had to move from that country
and proceeded along the Northern
coast of the American continent and
finally settled among the tribes some
where in the vicinity of where they
We're found by the travellers.
So great is the struggle for exist
ence within the Arctic Circle, that the
female infants are destroyed lest they
prove too great strain on the slender
resources Of the tribe. A mother will
bring up one girl, and only one. II
any other girl baby is born, it is ex-
posed to the cold to kill it. Boys, on
the other hand, are regarded as an
asset to the tribe. They can work
and hunt and fish and forage for them
selves.
One result Of this savage, though
from their point of view, necessary
slaughter of the females is that the
men far outnumber the women and
many of the former have no wives.
He confessed that there are days in
the Northern winter when he and the
other white men of the party could
not venture outside for any length OF
time owing to the severity OF the
weather, although the hardy Eskimos
and Northern Indians pursued their
hunting trips with apparently little OF
no discomfort from the bitter weather.

Yuan Now Against Rebels?

ParisThe Pekin correspondent to
the Temps says that Yuan Shi Kai has
again changed his attitude and has or
dered resumption Of hostilities at
Marking, whittier reinforcements have
been sent. 1t is understood that he is
again strongly supporting the dy-
nasty. The change is attributed to
the rally in Shan tung, and it is also
probable that Yuan can more easily
obtain the financial support he wants
by breaking with the rebels. z

REBELS GET NANklNo.
Imperial Troops Rally and Capture
Hang Yang.
Marking The revolutionists entered
the four gates Of the city Of Marking
early Wednesday morning.

XII
Pekin- Hang Yang has been occu-
pied by the imperial forces, which
crossed the Han river 20 miles above
that place. Wuchang has made a pro-
visional capitulation, and it is evident
that the government is getting a
strong hand in that part Of Hupeh
province, where few weeks ago the
rebels seemed to have supreme control.
There is no news of Ii Yuen Hing,
the revolutionary commander. and #
IS not known whether he led the de-
Tense of Hang Yang or directed it
from Wuchang. It is believed that
the rebels will not surrender: rather
that they will prefer to take chances
OF flight in the open country. The
rebels have endeavored to obtain the
terms offered by Yuan Shi Kai three
weeks ago, but It is reliably reported
that Lieutenant General Fang Ko
Chwang, commander Eof the imperial
troops at Hankow, refused to grant
them.
A Hankow consular report says it
was foregone conclusion that the i'm
perialists would win if they attacked
seriously, because of superior organ
ization. During the attack every po-
sition was heavily shelled. The i'm
perialists numbered probably 80, 900
modern drilled men. The rebels were
for the most part volunteers, perhaps
n -
forces.
Yuan Shi Kai's position seemed
hopeless two days ago. He was de-
serted by former followers upon whose
help he counted. Both Chinese and
foreign residents in Pekin believed
that the dynasty was on the verge of
abdication. Friends urged the pre-
mier to capitulate; others, fearing his
assassination, endeavored to persuade
him to take refuge in the foreign con-
cessions at Tien Tsin.
Today Yuan Shi Kai is the one-man
government, combining in himself
both legislative and executive powers,
but it is now expected that the men
recently appointed to the cabinet will
come to Pekln promptly.
A certain awe surrounds Yuan Shi
Kai. The national assembly feared
him and did not dare to insist upon his
presence before it. The membership
preferred to leave the capital when
the army rallied unexpectedly.
The premier removed suspected Off
GERS and rewarded the soldiers with
bits of money, in spite Of the treas
ury's plight. He even sent Manchu
troops away from the capital to the
front and he is now sending reinforce
ments to Pukow, opposite Marking, as
well as to Hankow and Shansi.
If the premier were able to obtain
foreign loan he would control the
situation. The opinion is held, how
ever, that the revolution is by no
means ended. The legations believe
the dynasty saved unless the rebels
succeed in fulfilling their threat to
kill Yuan Shi Kai with dynamite. !.
The premier recently informed Sir
John Jordan, the British minister, that
he did not fear assassination.

Marking - After more than half q
century of silence, the hills overlook
ing the walled city of Marking, the
ancient capital of China, swarm with
rebellious forces eager for its occupa-
ton and determined to overthrow the
last stronghold of the Manchus south
of the Yangste.
From the Tiger Hill fort for several
hours Sunday morning big guns spoke
repeatedly, while farther up along the
northeastern range, from the top of
Purple mountain, for 15-mile semi
circle westward to the Yangste, small
Ter forts scattered shells into every
section Of the city. So far as known
the casualty list is not large. General
Wong, second in command of the de-
tenders, is among the killed.

imperialists attempted sortie against
the attacking forces, with a view to
recapturing their positions, but were

les meanwhile were pounding shells
into Lion Hill. They succeeded in
silencing the Manchu batteries there.
The object of the first seizure of the
Tiger Hill was shown by the early ap-
pearance of four rebel cruisers and
later in the day of other warships.
At night dozen torpedo boat destroy
ers and cruisers were lying near the
city. Doubtless they will reduce the
lower sections quickly and drive the
defenders to the South.
The viceroy of Marking and the
Tartar general, in fear of General
Chang, the imperialist commander,
have taken refuge in the japanese
consulate, in which only the consul re-
mains. He is the sole official repre-
sentative of foreign interests now in
Marking. The consulate is well
guarded by marines.

KITCHENER GOES TO EGYPT

Field Marshal Viscount Kitchener's

eral at Cairo was received at that city
with great satisfaction. As matter
of fact, Lord Kitchener will really,

the Sudan. His full title for the po-
sition is minister plenipotentiary and
consul general and his salary Is
$1,000 year. -
AS regards his suitability for the po-
sition, it is certain that there Is no
man in Britain with whom could
be more surely trusted the affairs Of
Egypt and Sudan. His very name

Breeders, feeders, or investigators

provement in breeding and feeding.

man to judge the carcass yield and
quality of his animals intelligently
