Students of Oriental Affairs Look for
Present Uprising to Extend Riot,
ers Attack City of Cheng Tu and
Are Repulsed by Troops.
Washington, Sept. 14. Iu the opin
ion of students of Oriental afiaiis
China Is rapidly approaching a great
crisis in its history. The uprising iu
Szo Cliuen province is expected to ex
tend to other neighboring province,
especially to the southward, where the
Mongolian element has for many years
been opposed to the reigning Manchu
dynasty. Evidently prepared for tiou-
hie, the Chinese government has been
quick to dispatch troops Into the dis
affected district and to deal with tho
situation with a strong hand. It is
believed here Unit the government will
be able to suppress the present dis
turbance though the unforeseen disas
trous flooding of the Yangetse valley
is expected to drive thousands of the
unfoitunate natives whose means of
support have been destroyed into the
ranks of the revolutionists.
But If Is believed that this Sze
Chuen uprising is only the precursor
of other outbreaks in different parts
of the Flowery Kingdom, for the
struggle now going on Is really a gi
gantic test of the relative strength
and power of the central, as opposed
to the provincial government; In other
words, the situation resembles the
great feudal wars of Europe In tho
middle ages. Japan also bad to pass
through a similar ordeal before tho
emperor was nblo to break tho power
of his mutinous barons and It is be
lleved that the Chinese government
will row lie put to the same test.
RIOTERS ATTACK CHENG TU
Troops Line the Walls and Are De
fending the City.
London, Sept. 14. A news dispatch

Tu by messengers, but that the latter
were unable to get through tho lines
of rioters, who were attacking the city
at four points. Troops, the dispatch
adds, line the walls of Cheng Tu, do
fending the city. The rioters were repulsed.

Carload of Peaches.
Soiiiiichsen's store is today un
loading a carload of line Michigan
peaches. These are ns line
peaches as have heen seen in
some time and are attracting
much attention. This is the sec
ond year lie has received a car
load of peaches from Michigan.
Last year he sold the entire car

Reducing Railroad Forces.
The recent remarks of James
.1. Hill to the effect that he expect
ed lo see a further contraction In
I he demand for labor, with an in
creasing number of men out of
employment, have been taken by
some people to mean that the
railroads are intending to further
reduce their working forces. Mr.
Hill, however, was referring par
ticularly to probable retrenchment
by many big industrial plants. The
railroads started long ago to cut
their forces wherever the oppor
tunity existed. If traffic declines
further in the next few months it
will be possible lo reduce (rain
crews and get along with less help
in other departments, but there
are few railroads which have de
laved their retrenchment program
this lomr. It has been estimated
that not less than 150,0110 rail
road men have been laid off in
recent mouths. This condition, it
is thought, may have exercised a
delerrant influence on the shop
men of the Ilarriinan system In
their recent strike deliberations.
