JOINT ATTACK ON NANklNG
Rebel Army and Navy VIII Attempt
to Take City.

Shanghai Nov. 15.--While Yuan Shi
Kai, the last hope OF the Manchu ad-
ministration In China, is revealing to
q committee of the national assembly
the conditions through the empire
which evidently make the Manchu a
lost cause, the revolutionaries here
prepared to send the thirteen vessels
OF the imperial fleet, which joined
them Monday, against the government
forces at Eanking.
With the revolutionary flags flying
from their tops the warships steamed
up the river, past the berths occupied
by the foreign vessels, none OF which
acknowledged the salutes of the
rebels. 1t Is said the officers OF the
vessels will be retained In command
by the revolutionary leaders.
It seems impossible that Nanking
the largest city on the Yangtse river
still In possession OF the government
will be able to withstand the assault
of the warships, the strongest in the
Chinese navy.
The rebels plan a joint attack on
Nanking by warships and the land
forces.

Sation Act Constitutional.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 15.-The Wis

the constitutionality of the workmen's

The law provides for the insurance
of workingmen employed by corpora
tions against injury. In case of in
jury damages are to be fixed by a
state commission. 1t is not obligatory
on the part Of the corporations to
come under the law and those not do
ing so may appeal to the courts for
adjustment of injury cases. A large
number of Wisconsin corporations
have already elected to come under
the law.
others against the Falk company OF
Milwaukee. where the plaintiff, who
had long term contract of service
with the Falk company, brought ac-
ton to enjoin the company from elect

he claimed that, If 1t made It's election,
he would be obliged either to quit his
employment or to submit to the law
and lose his common law remedies in
case OF injuries received in employ
ment.
The court upholds the constitution.
ality OF all the important points of the
law, but does not pass upon several
minor contentious, the validity OF
which would not affect the general
constitutionality of the act.
