The arrests had centered around Louis Bomelsler, a_brother of Yale's 'varsity right end, who had been roughly used by the officers and clubbed about the head. Most of the other arrests were due to efforts made to protect Bo- meisler. One student was asked by an officer to _walk beside Bomeisler and use his efforts to keeep the students from attempting a rescue. This stu- dent was surprised to find himself un- der arrest upon reaching the police station. Police Apologize for One Arrest. An arrest for which the police later apologized was that if an attorney of New York city who had seen Bomels- ier arresied and had sought Informa- tion from an officer. The charge made against the attorney was that of ob- struction. Dean Jones balled out the attorney, who demanded an apology, which was at once given and the charge withdrawn. Women’s Gowns Seiled.

Peking, Nov. 19.—Demands for the throne's abdication are crowding upon Premier Yuan Shi Kai, who doubtless’ will be forced to make a decision with- in a week. It seems to be a case of fight or ask the court to depart from the capital. Every suggestion for ab- dication is accompanied by promises of pretection and ample pension. Attacks Ordered by Premier.

The government has succeeded in ridding the Lancau of both revolution- ary generals, Chang Shao-Tseng and Lan Tien-Wel The former is now at Tien-Tsin.

Americans Leave Nanking. beeh an unexpected dis- y of patriotism during the last day or two. Instead of rivalry among the provinces there have been evidences of remarkable unanimity in an effort to establish a union government quickly to prevent the dangers from foreign complications. Rear Admiral Murdock telegraphs the American legation from Nanking that the American consyl with the archiVes is aboard the Ne Orieans and that all Americans have left the city with the exception of a few members of the Red Cross. It would be imposstble, says the admiral to protect American property in Nan- king without landing 300 marines pre- pared to sustain a siege. For this rea- son he-had sent none of his men ashore.

The republicans ap- | parently are dctermined to secure their independence from the Manchu dyna: ty, but there are grave doubts of their ability to establish a stable government in time to avold the consequences of continued disorganization and the ab- sence of revenue and a coherent ad- ministration. 2 Yuan's Power Wa The local organizations generallv are preserving order.

Provinces Organizs Separately. The provinces which have declared independence are organizing separate | Fovernments, but each refuses recogni- | tion to the responsibiMties incurred by the central governmens. Nanking, the anclent capital, is still firmly in the pessession of the imperialists: there- fore the asertion of southern suprema- cy is mot taken seriously. Even the reformers recognize the importance of perialists are directing all their ef- forts at this important center, where victory may mean either the end of the Manchu dynasty or a serfous setback to the revolutionary cause. Fall of Nanking Important. The reformers do not conceal the tre- mendous strain, as well as demands, upon their £nancial resources, in con- ducting the campalgn against Nanking and maintaining their position at Wu Chang.
