'CHINR'S TROUBLE
NOT YET ENDED
Troops Mutiuied and Made Attack on
W. Chang.
TWO OFFICERS WERE EXECUTED
After Several Hours Fierce Fighting
MutIneers Were Dlspersed--Ap-
parent object Was to
Loot Cities.

Pekin, Sept. 26.-The troops en-
camped outside the gates Of WI
Chang, capital Of the Province Of HUI
Peh, mutinied In the night and at
tackled the city. The troops numbered
several hundred and were composed
for the most part Of cavalry.
A strong force Of General Ii Yuen
Heng's regiment Immediately engaged
the rebels and after several hours OF
fierce lighting dispersed them. The
casualty list IL not known. but two Of
ficers were executed for failing to d.
ulge their knowledge Of the move
ment.
1t is believed that the attacking
party intended not only to loot the
CITY, but most of the towns in the in
terror which have no defenders from
such outbreaks, in which both the re-
.,ublican and former imperial troops
indulge. The republican spirit appar-
artly is not appreciated by the classes
from which the soldiers are recruited.
Generals and Soldiers Included.
The object Of the present loan is
ostensibly for the purpose Of paying
on and discharging this menacing
army, which is very large. according
to the lists submitted by the generals.
The national assembly recently made
an investigation and discovered that
the generals, like the soldiers, were
not free from the methods prevalent
under the Manchus, but the govern
ment argues that 1t Is cheaper to pay
the military leaders demand than
fight.
The Chinese appear to be well
pleased with the success of the new
loan negotiations, the newspapers hav-
ing stirred up an agitation against the
foreign control az proposed by the six
power group. Little heed has been
paid to the fact that. contrary to the
constitution, this contract has not
been submitted to the national as
sembly.
Thousands Are Starving.
Pathetic conditions prevail through
out the country. Occasionally detach-
ments of soldiers engage In footing
and wanton destruction. Trade is
greatly hampered and thousands Of
persons are dying from starvation who
could be saved by the employment OF
few foreign engineers.
Meanwhile the political situation.
which is absorbing the Republican
leaders, has curious and interesting
phases The Manchu princes recently
gave dinner in honor Of DR.. Sun Vat
SEN, and toasted the republic. But the
imperial guard lined the streets dur
ing DR.. Suns visit, this being regarded
Is the safest course The troops Of
he court, contrary to the abdication
.erms, remain in the forbidden city.

SAYS VACCINES
ARE WORTHLESS
Kansas Authorities Issue Warning
Against Horse Remedies.
VETERINARIANS IN CONFERENCE
Gov. Stubs Hears Reports From Men
Studying Horse PIague--Fam-
ere Cautioned Against
Use OF acures."

Topeka, Oct. 1.--War on the com
mercial vaccines which are being
offered throughout the central and
western parts OF Kansas where the
horse plague has been so disastrous
was declared by the government and
state veterinary authorities after
conference that lasted all afternoon
All those who attended the conference
Joined in a signed statement about
the horse plague, warning farmers not
to use the commercial vaccines as
many are worthless and some harm
full.
BY the reports from the government
and state veterinarians at the con-
ference 1t was shown that anthrax
tetanus and several other vaecines or
serums for specific diseases were be-
ing sold and urged upon the farmers
by men claiming to be veterinarians
and offering to treat the sick animals.
Prominent Authorities Meet.
Thus far good results have come
from the vaccine prepared by the
state agricultural college but 1t has
not been tried out thoroughly.
The conference was called by Gov.
stubbs in his office. Those In attend
ance, besides the governor, were: G.
q. Griffin, veterinarian, third field
artillery; Charles Thorn, mycologist'
bureau OF animal industry; H. Buss-
man, veterinary inspector, bureau Oh
animal industry; Prof. s. ]. Hunter
state entomologist; DR.. w. H. Trim
BILE, pathologist, University of Kan
sas: DR.. l. w. Goss, pathOlOgist, agri-
cultural college; DR.. F. 8. schoenle-
her. state veterinarian; Prof. T. r.
Haslam, agricultural college; H. J.
Walters, president agricultural col
lege; J. H. Mercer, live stock sanitary
commissioner.
Cause Still Unknown.
These men signed statement re-
garding the disease in which 1t 10
stated:
I'm our opinion no vaccine against
this disease has been fully tried out.
It is strictly urged that the farmers
do not use any Of the commercial vac
cines offered. Many of them are
known to be worthless and more are
positively harmful In case Of an out
break, cooperation with the agricul-
tural college is much to be desired"
It was the unanimous opinion Of the
that the disease could
not be transmitted by direct inocula-
ton. All agreed that the forage or
water transmitted the disease but
none knew how it was transmitted or
what did 1t, whether it was fungus
growth that formed toxin or . germ
that got into the animals through the
feed.

SUPREME COURT DECISION TO
SETTLE DISPUTE.
Interpretation Of Pure Food Law VIII
Affect Much Legislation all
Over Country.

Washington, Oct. Lis decom-
posed egg. within the meaning Of the
pure fsaA and drug act OF 1905. the
same thing as rotten egg" under
the common law?
Upon the early decision Of that
question by the supreme court Of the
United States is said to hang one OF
the most far reaching disputes In re-
gard to the pure food law since It's
enactment. Egg men are attacking
the department OF agriculture as seek
ing to enforce the law. according to
arbitrary and unreasonable stanlarcs
while officials OF the department are
defending their course as involving
the most valuable features Of the leg
islation against improper food.
The controversy arose over the SELF
ure in Jersey City of 44S cans OF
frozen egg product packed in Topeka
by the Seymour Packing company up
on the order Of the H. ]. Keith COM
pany.
The pure food law provided that an
article should be deemed adulterated
when 'decomposed"
The Keith company contended that
congress had not defined what 1t
meant by "decomposed."
The egg company attacks the gov
eminent as acknowledging that every
thing in this world ii more or less de-
composed and that 1t had to adopt an
arbitrary standard OF decomposition In
order to make the law enforcible. In
SO interpreting, the secretary OF agri-
culture, except for his 'leniency,"
would make all foods. particularly
cheese, subject to seizure and de-
struction under the law, it is asserted.

Trade Unsettled.
The deal has unsettled the grain
