Pekin, Sept 13.-An imperial edict
issued today says the ring leaders in
the disorders in the Szechuen prov
ince intended to proclaim independ-
ence. AS a consequence the Chinese
government has ordered the viceroy to
destroy the red rebels to the last man.
The viceroy's attention having been
called however to the fact that many
of those taking part in the disturb
ances are misguided, the government
instructed him to distinguish between
them and the actual rebels in provid-
ing punishment.
The possibility of serious results in
Szechuen is considered grave. If the
rebellion is not promptly suppressed
it Is likely to spread to other provinces
where there has been much discomfort
of late. Some of the newspapers are
urging the people to join in the rising
but the merchants everywhere are
fearful that IL the rebels are success
full it might be the beginning of gen.
eral conflagration.
The Japanese legation has received
despatch indicating that Chinese
troops are among the rebels who are
beseiging Cheng Tu. No reports have
reached here as to the extent of the

EFFORT WILL PROBABLY BE
MADE TO REPEAL STATE
WIDE LAW.
LITTLE CHANCE OF SUCCESS
Gov-EIect Brewer Pledged to State.
Wide Law and Legislators Would
Scarcely Dare Face Public DIsap-
provaI.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 13.-It is learn
ed on good authority that a movement
is being quietly placed on foot to start
an agitation for the repeal of the
statewide prohibition law at the ap-
preaching session of the legislature.
Those who are in a position to give
details of the movement decline to do
so, but it can be accepted as fact
beyond all dispute that a bill will he
introduced seeking the repeal OF the
statutory prohibition law, and an ag
gressive fight will be waged for its
passage.
The measure simply contemplates
the wiping out of the statute enacted
four years ago, and return to the local
option system.
The anti-prohibitionists feel much
encouraged over the recent election re.
suits in Alabama, Texas and Maine,
| and assert with much confidence that
public sentiment in Mississippi is also
undergoing a change on this subject.
The liquor question did not cut any
| figure in the recent state primary. Il
was not an issue in any county, and
apparently the belief did not prevail
in any section that there would be
likelihood of a fight at the approach
ing legislative session.
The prohibition forces. of course
will Immediately get in readiness for
the fray, and prominent leaders in
this city declare that there is no likeli
hood of the repeal of the statutory
measure; that the Legislators would
not dare to fly in the face of public
opinion on the subject.
Governor-elect Brewer is unreserv
edly committed to the present state
wide law and its rigid enforcement
He gave an unequivocal pledge to this
effect to the Mississippi W. C. T. L
shortly before his nomination, ant
there Is no reason to believe that he
will change his mind on the subject.
The anti-prohibitionis it is claim
ed, want the matter submitted to tht
people, and, in event of failure to Sc
cure direct repeal by the legislature
which is of course more than likely
they will then make a fight to have
the question submitted to the people
at special election held simultane
ously with the Congressional primar!
next year.
/ In fact, the main hope of the anti
prohis is to get an election. and few o
them entertain any idea that the leg
islature would directly repeal the ex
, isting statutes.
On the other hand, the prohibition
lists can be expected to assume an ag
gressive attitude at the very begin
ming of the fight, and make an insist
ent demand for submitting to the peo
pie an amendment to the organic law
providing for constitutional prohibi
ton. This is the declared policy o
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and will doubtless be adopted
by other temperance organizations.
Unlike other Southern states, th'
adoption of statewide prohibition il
Mississippi was not a sudden reform
movement. 1t resulted from stead,
inroads on the open saloons through
the waging of local option campaigns
until at the time the statutory law wal
enacted only six counties in the stat
had open saloons.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 19.-Presi-
dent Barret in addressing the Confer
ence today declared that all reports of
a bumper cotton crop are absolutely
baseless. He likewise denounced as
false any statement to the effect that
the Union is in a combine to hold up
civilization, and before concluding he
charged the existence of a conspiracy
to hammer down the price of cotton.
He said the farmer has'his fate in his
own hands, and he could get exactly
what his crop is worth by abandoning
one-sided deals of letting buyers name
their own prices
