SOLDIERS TO
RESUME FIGHTING SOON
Rebel Forces in China Now
Aggregate More Than co.
600 Men

NANKIlTCs--Ssh China. Jaa- 1.-The re-
publican troops began at noon today
ferring a large quantity of railway
rolling stock acrcs the river to Pukow.
where it is expected the advance uortn-
ward win begin tomorrow when the
armistice terminates.
Winter clothing for the republican
army is arriving here today in carloads.
and the soldiers are being rapidly equip
ped in preparation for their march on
Picking.
The revolutionary commander today
received a reinforcement OF 1000 men
from Canton. who brought with them
$4,000 new magazine rifles 1t is es-
timated that the republican forces now
amount to considerably more than SO.-
900 men, with many batteries Of modern
field guns and plenty of ammunition.
The imperialist troops in the neign-
borhooj under the command of Gen.
eral Chang, are not. it is believed, near
~ So strong numerically as the repub-
lfcans, and although many of them are
soldiers trained on the European sys-
tenn, there are large number Of un-
trained and undisciplined troops in their
ranks.
General Chang, it is said, commands
the entire northern section of the Tien
Tsin-Peking railway and occupies sew
eral towns on each side. The revoIu-
tionariess on the other hand, hold the
southern section of the railway and
have the advantage OF popular sympathy
in the Yang Use valley.

German and English
Soldiers at LanchOW

LONDON, Jan. 5-zAccording TO an ex-
change company's telegram, British and
German troops have been dispatched
from Tien Tsin to Lanchow, the strate-
gical point of the railroad from Picking
to MulSden. where the imperial Chinese
troops a few days ago declared in
favor Of republic, elected Wang VIE
TIE their leader and announced that
they were about to march on Peking.
=, was reported yesterday that the
same troops had looted and burned the
residences Of the wealthy citizens CT
Lanchow and seized the railway at
shanhaikwan. where they were holding
up the traffic.
The British troops will occupy and
patrol the American section OF the rail-
way between Tang Shan and Lanchow,
whore the trains have been completely
blocked.
Fighting of the most severe dsscrip-
ton is proceeding in the vicinity OF
Lanchow between the Chinese and the
Manchu troops, and the telegraph lines.
including the systems belonging to the
Chinese Engineering and Mining COM
pany, have been cut.
The foreigners engaged in the coal
mines at Binsi, in the neighborhood Of

on coal train at which the revolu-
tionaries fired several VI lleys.

SAYS PRATT'S EVIDENCE
WAS BASED ON OPINION
Attorney for Chicago Packers
Tries to Have Evidence
Stricken Trial Resumed

49, - lby Ae54F<bfea- EFeht,t .-l.sl
CHICAGO. jan Denfenss counsel in
the trial Of the ten chicago packers,
charged with criminal violation OF the
sherman law, today moved to have
stricken from records the evidence Of
Jerome H. Pratt. This evidence aimed
to identity the handwriting Of J. Ogden
Armour. Arthur .Meeker and Thomas j.
Corners on certain letters previously in
troduced in evidence by the government
to show the existence OF a combination
among the defendants in the period be-
tween 1896 and 1906. 1851
Attorney NJ w. Borders, representing
the Morris interests, made the point
that the testimony of the witness 6PratO
on this point was incompetent because
it was, based on an opinion obtained
in the ordinary course Of business and
not on personal knowledge.
District Attorney Wilkerson insisted
that the testimony should remain in
the record
THE fact that those letters were writ
ten and received by Pratt in the course
of business. enabled him to be all the
more certain Of his Identification and
renders his testimony competent" said
Mr. Wilkerson
Judge Carpenter saiG he had no doubt
regarding the admissibility' of the letters
as documents, but he expressed doubt
as to the witness giving an opinion on
the identification OF the handwriting un-
less supplemented by other evidence.
'The government will have to show a
combination of effort and concerted ac-
ton on the part of each of these ten
defendants to commit conspiracy or
there will be an end to this case" said
Judge Carpenter. THE government is
necessarily obliged to prove it's theory
in a case OF this kind, piece by piece.
This may be supplemented later by
other testimony. / cannot know in adj
vance Just what evidence the govern
ment will present" ~
Special Counsel Pierce Butler contin-
ued reading of percentage shipments and
profit margins alleged TO have been
used by the defendants in the conduct
of their business between 1894 and 1906,
when the trial of the ten Chicago pack
ers was resumed.
This was an effort to prove that the
hackers maintain combination to ap-
pOrfionment the fresh meat business and
fix prices on a nor-competitive basis
after the organization of the National
Packing company in March, 4gvO.
District Attorney James H. Wilkerson
ANNOUNCED that it probably would take
several days to conclude the examlna-
ton Of Jerome H. Pratt.

U. S. Army Is Ready
To Meet Any Demand

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Although il
was expected yesterday that within "a
hours the state department would learn
from Minister Calhoun at Picking, wheth-
er American troops were required in Chi
ma and in what number, the minister
was silent today. It is assumed he is
consulting with other diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Picking and it may be that
these in turn feel called upon to await
advices from their home governments.
The army stands ready to meet any
demand upon it within reason and the
officers here are wondering why the word
does not come from Picking, knowing
that other powers have been dispatch
ing troops to China along the line of the
railroad from Picking to the sea. On the
whole, there seems little doubt that the
ultimate decision will be to dispatch
troops from Manila B I as the matter
of prime consideration is the preserva-
ton of the satisfactory entente which
has governed the six powers in the ex-
ecution of their Chinese policies. the state
department is disposed to observe with
scrupulous regard the undertaking, that
no other power shall advance troops
without consulting the other powers.
Hence action awaits word from Mr.. Cal
houn, which is expected soon,
Demands have been made upon DR.. WI
Ting Fang by. Yuan Shi Kai to know
the purposes of the establishment of the
Marking government and consequently
taking of an oath by President Sun Vat
Sen, in which he pledged himself to de-
throne the Manchus according TO advices
to the state department These tsate
that Yuan, in his telegram to DR.. WI,
questioned the Republican minister Of
justice as 10 whether the Republican gov
eminent would be abolished should-a ma
tional convention decide upon mon
archy.
At the same time the premier ex-
pressed the belief that the action of the
revolutionaries has contravened the ar
rangements made whereby a national
convention is to decide the future form
of government. DIT. WI Ting Fang ac-
cording to the dispatches. in a note to
each of the six consuls general at
Shanghai, who presented an identical
note. says that the hope of peace ex-
pressed in that communication was null
lifted by the Manchu government.
