The rebels have fallen back on Wu Chang, which, it is said,they have suc ceeded in strongly fortifying in past few days. The casuaities on both sides in the engagement are reportea the rebels’ position, but despatches from Hankow indicate that the return fire from the forts was much more ef- fective, and that at least two of the imperial gunboats were badly dam- aged. American warships have been order- ed to Nanking, Shanghai and Tien- Tsin. The Abarenda, which is pro- ceeding to Tien-Tsin, is carrying a de- tachment to reinforce the American le- gation guard at Peking. The capital is strongly guarded and there seems to_be little danger of disorders there, The prince regent has yislded (o the demands of Yuan Shi Kai, it is said, and the latter will raise his own dis vision of troops, numbering 10,000, to control the situation in the provinces of Hu Peh and Hu Nan. In addition the new vicsroy has Leen permitted to cash a personal grant of $2,000,000. Peiin, @ct. 15.—The Chinese govern- ment claims to have won a great victory at Hankow. and it announces that the government troops hold the station, where troop trains are arriv- ing rapidly. Although this appears to be an exaggeration—because the fight- ing continues—the feeling prevails here that the government has really achieved an important moral victory. Revolution Not General. The belief has been held in Peking that If the first encounter between the revolutionaries and the loyal troops roved decisive, the supremacy would e settled there and then. Oniy a few unimportant towns outside of Han- Xow, Wu Chang and Han Yang, have taken part in the rising. Nanking, Canton and other cities of lutionary . tendencies have sesponded to the call of the insur- ®ents so far as can b- learned. Rebel Leaders Lost Oppertunity.

After an eventful career in interna- tional relations undev Li Hung Chans, covering fifteen years, Yuan Shi Kai was dismissed on January 2, 1909, or- dered to vacate all his offices and re- turn home. When the blow fell he sent his family to the foreign quarter in Tien-Tsin and fled himself im- medieiely afier to the same place The prince regent, deprecating the cffect upon the world of this event, and ap- preciating Yuan Shi Kaf's alarm, sent a specizl message to Tien-Tsin to re- assure him. He returned via Peking to his family home at Wei Hui l'u, just south of the borders of the metro- Politan province in Hunan, and in a week was_lost completely to oriental affairs. Until now he has lived a country gentleman’s life there, but has interested himself in local improve- ment.

The emperor referred in affectionate terms to his father, who he said had often talked to him as a boy of the necessity for re-establishing the an- cient imperial throne of Germany declaring that “Barbarossa must be freed from Kuffhauser.” This was a reference to the legend of Barbaros- sa sleeping imprisoned in the mouh- tain to reappcar and unite the Ger- mans in time of peril. “For myself,” sald His Majesty, “T grew up with a full admiration and respect for the imperial crown and its noble treasure.

New York, Oct. 18.—The “Ruzzie lamb” letters and Russell Griswold’s suft for $50,000 heart balm rest with the jury tonight. The twelve jurors retired not leng after noon today, tak- ing with thom the various batches of missives and pictures for perusal and Inspection; and inasmuch as no word | had come’from ‘the jury xoom at the hour for adjournndent, Justice Brown directed that the verdict, if reached, be zled and opened in court tomor- Tow morning. Miss Swmith Did Not T»stlfy. Counsel for Miss Helen Woodruft Smith of Stamford, Conn., the forly- | year-old defendant, rested his case on Griswold’s own testimony. He saw no need, he said, “to put the defendant on the stand and have her testify that she never held a man’s hand or kissed Lim in public.” In consigning his cli- ent's fate to the jury, Miss Smitn’s lawyer arraigned Griswold jn scathing ter: Griswold Invaded Her Privacy. “The only thing a woman has is her privacy,” the lawyer said. “This per- son,” ‘pointing to Griswold, “has i vaded the privacy of the defendant by giving the ciewspapers her motherly | letters. Why did he do that? Il leave it to you to guess, and, as you have listéned to his testimony I don’t think you'll have any trouble in guess- S TEA Broksn-Hearted Little Boy.” Griswold’s lawyer pictured the plain- tff as a “broker-hearted little boy, whose life had been ruined by a ma- ture voman of the world.” “And she turned him ruthlessly aside,” he con- tinued with a quavering voice. “Ah, gentlemen, if you have ever been in love you must know the pangs of jeal- ousy. You must know the heart strains he endured. And yet, when he comes before a_court of justice he is rid culed and the defendant lavghs openly at him.” No Actual Proof of Contract. In Justice Brown's charge to tke jury, he said: “The plaintiff alleges that he was hurt and injured by the failure o1 this defendant to carry out @ contract to marry him. She made the contiact, he says, repeatedly, and still no actual proof has been offered to show that such a contract was made. The plaintiff offers a mass of corre- spondcnce to prove his contention that there was such a contract beiween them, He claims that the loving mes- Sages contained in them showed tnat there was o promise to marry. —But it 18 for you gentlemen to decide ‘whether there was a such a contr: Read character and size by the evi- dence as twelve intelligent men and render your verdict accordingly.” To Fix Damages. - The justice also instructed the jury to fix damages if a verdict were found for the plaintiff. The plaintiff called but one other witness at the conclusion of his cross examination—Mary Barrett, a domes- tic employed by Miss Smith, who tes- tified that Griswold had been séen fre- quently about the Smith home. Mcre Letters Read. More of the “Ruzzielamb” letters were read in court, counsel closing with the following: “Dear Ruzzielamb, where' in the dev- il have you been? I have been sitting here alone enjoying the drinks and the smokes, Doesn’t that sound devilish? Well, T hope you will soon set over to see vour loving little Lydia Pink- ham (B'Hild).” She Tcok Pity on Him. Counsel for Miss Smith immediately began summing up. “This man,” said the lawyer, “lived on this defendant and when she sot he became angry and this is the result. He told the defendant that he Was in ill healt She ook pity on him, and as her let- ters show, asked him to visit her at her home and get well. Her nome was so situated, she said, as to give him plenty cof fresh air, and to pay his board while there he could be the ‘general man.’ She Proposed to Him. “This he became, and because the defendant iried to advise him as to the right manner of Jiving, he says that she proposed ‘o him. Imagine anything so funny s that, gentlemen; she proposing to him.” Other Woman's Name Disclosed. Miss Smith's counsel asked Gris- wold the rime of the woman who paid his board for two weeks the Delaware Water Gap. “She is Mrs. | Craw of Rowayton, Conn.” the plain- tiff replied. “She ‘is a friend of tne family and has always been a sort of mather o me. The money was re- paid to her by my mother.” Miss Smith Nearly Hysterical. Griswold's_reference to Mis.

The suit is brought by Charles A. Strout of Portland, Maine, as trustee for the Goddu Sons Metal Fastening company. An attachment for two millions of dollars was placed on the shoe machinery company’s plant in this suit a short time -.sq following the indictment of the pany’s officers by the Federal -'uul jury on charges of main 2 mon- opoly in restraint of trade. com- plainant alleges that in violation of the Sherman act the shos machinery company forced it out of business and it therefore asks for damages. The Goddu Sons company was or- ganized in 1897 under Maine-state laws to manufacture and sell shoa machinery under patents held by the company. The United States Ma- chinery ~company was orgunimed in 1899 and a short time later, it is al- leged, started negotigtions with God- du Sons stockholders to purchase stock ae a result of which the shos machinery company finelly secured = majority of the stock of the Goddu Sons company. The bill of complaint goes on ta say that “In accordance with a pre- concetved plan and purpose to sSup- press and eliminate competition and | - to support and project the monoply in the shoe machinery business which the United Shoe Machinery company had acquired, the defendants. caused Sidney W. Winslow. Hurd and other shos companies directors as directors off the Goddu Sons company; that they | continued to be re-elected, not to de- velop_the business, but to prevent the firm from doing business.” The complaint further alleges that the new officers who held the same po- sitions in the United Shoe Machinery company, declined to make use of the patents ‘and prevented the Goddu Sons company from carrying on bus- iness so that the assets have remained idle, have been wasted and the patemts are about to expire and prove worths ess.
