Around Shanghai.
REFUGEES FILL THE STREET
Peace Propositions Are Under Con-
sideration, WI Ting Fang Being
One Of Most Prominent
Intermediates.

Shanghai.-The landing of sailors
from the foreign warships at this city
has greatly relieved the foreigners and
better class of Chinese and the coun-
try people are beginning to return to
their homes.
The country districts around Shang-
hal present an aspect of desolatiOn.
Villages have been burned and the
crops ruined. Rotting corpses are
lying everywhere Philanthropic
organizations are caring for the
refugees, thousands OF whom are still
camping in the streets of this city.
The forces manning the Wu-Supg
forts went over to the government but
on the same evening they rejoined
the standard of the rebellion. The
commanding general fed, and the
troops to the number Of 5000, all of
whom are strongly prorebel, elected a
new leader, who declare she will not
participate in the lighting until at

A proclamation was issued by the
municipal authorities notifying bel

Element had been closed to them.
Peace propositions are under dis
cussion here between the two parties.
DR.. WI Ting-fang, formerly Chinese
minister to the United States. is the
most prominent among the intermedi-
aries, but it is doubted here whether
he is authorized by provisional Presi-
dent Yuan Shi Kai.
When some OF the military were
Withdrawn from Fu-Chow on Sunday,
detachment of Japanese marines
was ordered ashore. In the foreign
colonies there the general opinion
prevailed that the landing OF these
marines was unnecessary.
A strict censorship has been Inn
posed on outgoing kilograms as well
as upon the newspapers.
Many of the Christian missionaries
have been recalled from the interior
districts, owing to the possibility Of
outbreaks.

SPLEND0R Of ALPS
Gorgeous Coloring Of Peaks at
Sunrise and Sunset.
Phenomenon Is Most Complex, Vary
ing Greatly With the Weather, and
az Times Exhibiting Features
That Appear Mysterious.

London. Everybody who has sO-
journed among the Alps, or other
snowcapped mountains. must have adj
mired the gorgeous coloring Of the
peaks at sunrise and sunset. Watch
ing the splendid spectacle from day to
day, that it is complex phenome

and sometimes exhibiting certain pc
culiarities that to the uninitiated are
decidedly mysterious.
In fine weather the following Sc.
Quence Of events may be noted: When
the sun has sunk nearly to the OBJ
servers horizon, the peaks to the east
ward begin to have reddish or gold
en- hue. This fades gradually, but in
few minutes, when the sun Is little
below the observers horizon, but the
peaks are still bathed in direct sum
light, an intense red glow begins down
the slopes and moves upward to the
SUBMITS. This is identical with the
rosy twilight arch that in clear
weather rises from the eastern hori-
zon as the sun sinks below the west
ern; and it is bordered below by the
blue shadow of the earth. Now, for
few minutes, the PEAKS are In the
earth shadow; their rocks and SHOWS
assume livid appearance, aptly de-
scribed by the inhabitants of the vale
of Chamounix, whence the phenom-
cha in question are well seen on the
SUBMITS of Mont Blanc, as the .tinte
cadavereuse."
Presently occurs the remarkable
phenomenon known as "recoloration"
or "afterglow." Ia chamounix it is
called "the resurrection or Mont
Blanc " The peaks, from which all
color had faded, again assume a rosy
tint; but this time gradually, and
without any sharp line of demarcation
between the glow and the shadow be-
meath. The recoloration is by no
means daily occurrence fact, it
is rather uncommon-andi it varies
greatly in appearance and duration.
Sometimes it lasts until an hour after
sunset, and it passes away from be-
