NEWS OF REBEL VICTORY
MAY DEMORALIzE TROOPS
News of It Was Not Made Public in
Picking Till "a Hours After Gov
eminent Heard Of It.

Peking Oct 2l.--It is apparent here
that the imperial government knew the
results of the battle at FIankow between
its forces and the rebels for more than
"a hours before it became public here.
Reports of the rebel victory gradually
leaked out during the day but the first
positive account of the defeat Of the
Imperial troops was delivered TO the
foreign legations last night by the As
sociated Press. 1t created a profound
impression.
The success of the revolution has
been considered here to hinge upon the
result of the first encounter, as its NOR
al effect would be far reaching When
the fugitive imperialists reach the main
army, which is mobilizing near Sin
Yang Chow, the news of the repulse, it
is believed, viii utterly demoralize the
troops, while on the other hand the news
rs it goes along the Yang Use river prob
ably will result in further important
adhesions to the rebel cause.
The foreign legations here believe that
yesterdays news from Hankow and Yum.
Nan will mean that the provinces south
of the Yang Use and also some on the
north side of the river sooner or later
will secede
The government acknowledges that
there is a serious situation in Chang
Sha, province of HUFFMAN, which it is
believed in PelIing means that Chang
Sha has joined the revolt.
Foreigners whose business it is to
study China think that the northern
provinces, which are not deeply affect.
ed by sedition, may rally around the
Manchus. Everything, however, seems
to depend on an immediate and success
full advance by Minister of War YIN
Tohang, who now commands 10000 men
within one hundred miles of Hankow;
but only the foreign ministry pretends
to enjoy confidence in his promised at
tack Already Yin-Tehang is issuing
proclamations in which he is offering
pardon to all who Iesert the rebel
standard, and it is believed he will rely
on proclamations and negotiations, fear
ing or being unable to move his army.
AT midnight last night report from
Yin-Tchang was published in the Off
cial Gazette. It does not refer to
Wednesdays fight at Hankow It says
the 22d regiment arrived at Hankow on
Sunday and that the rebels attacked
twice but were repulsed and that three
rebels We're captured His spies report
that the rebels are preparing for de-
fense of WuChang and Hankow. Many
desertions from the rebel ranks are re-
ported. Yin-Tchang says he has made
Sin-Yang- g-Chow his temporary headguar-
ters and will proceed southwark after
the arrival of the fourth division of the
troops.
An edict which also is published sane
tions Yin-Tchang's proposals and says
it hopes he will lose no time in sup
pressing the rebels. Another ediet ex-
presses compassion for the people in
those provinces which are suffering from
drought and rebellion and orders 100000
taels from the late Empress Dowager's
hoard to be paid to Guam Shi Kai. who
will arrange for its distribution among
the distressed people.

BURNED ABOUT FACE.
William H. Jackson Had Narrow Escape
From Losing Eyesight,

William H, Jackson, a derrickman
employed by the Presbrey-Coykenda
Co, was painfully burned about the face
this forenoon. when a quantity of escap-
ing gas forced the flames from the open
door of a boiler into his face. Mr. jack
son was standing near the front of the
boiler at the time and had little warn
ing of his danger. 1t was at first thought
that he had been seriously burned, but
a physicians examination showed that
relief had come just in time to save the
mans eyesight and perhaps his life. Mr..
jackson will be detained at his home
on North Main street for few days as
result of the accident.

to be properly provided in case of
death. The garments are usually of

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" of blackbird flying against a
parior window many times at the
same spot
Such an incident is not uncommon
Birds have been known to fight for
hours at time. day after day. with
their own image reflected in a pane
of glass, pecking and fiuttering against
the pane and quite exhausting them
selves In their fury to demolish the
supposed rival. 1t is another instance
of how the arts of our civilization
corrupt and confuse the birds 1t is
the same with fishes
Darwin tells a story of pike In an
aquarium separated by plate glass
from fish which were its proper food
In trying to get at the fish the pike
would often dash with such violence
against the glass as to be completely
stunned 1t did this for more than
three months before it learned eau
ton. Then when the glass was re-
moved the pike would not attack
those particular fishes, but would de-
YOUR others freshly introduced
1t did not at all understand the sit
nation. but associated the punishment
1t had received not with the glass.
but with a particular kind Of fish.
Darwin's American monkeys proved
themselves more knowing" When
they cut themselves once with any
sharp tool they would not touch it
again or else would handle 1t with the
greatest caution.
Thus they gave evidence of the sim
