Peking. Jan. Am army of revolu-

Hankow yesterday evening. An i'm
perialist army estimated to number
10000 men occupies the city. A fierce
fight Is now in progress.
According to current reports in gov
eminent circles, the leaders OF the i'm

Of hostiIities, as this will give them an
opportunity Of avoiding the result of
the national convention agreed to by
the edict of the imperial court and by
the representatives Of the peace con-
ference at Shanghai. BY the terms of
the agreement, delegates from all the
provinces of China are to meet to de-
eide the future form OF government for
China and the imperialists are of the
opinion that the national convention
is likely to culrninate in the victory of
the republican party.
Hankow was the scene CT severe
fighting between the two armies on
several occasions before the recent
armistice was decided upon.

a great international census, giving
each person a number in a single world
series, to the end that the human race
may be improved by scientific mar
riage, was the plan advocated last night

American Breeders association, one of

lean Association for the Advancement
of Science.
AS a means for improving the hered-
ity of the human family, Mr.. Hays pro-
posed a classification Of all human be-
ings, both as to mental aptitude and
genetic efficiency. Based on such
knowledge as this census would give,
he said, would develop racial relig-
ion requiring the genetically efficient
to produce families larger than the
average, and those less efficient to.nrn-
duce families smaller than the aver
