that there have been a number of sr-ej-slons
from the government troop-.
HANKOW, China, Oct." IS.-The first
battle since the arrival of the Imperial
troops from the north was fought today
on the north bank of the Han river Just
west of this city. !
It waa indecisive. The revolutionists j
temporarily drovo the Imperial troops j
back from their position, but In doing so j
they exhausted their rifle ammunition
and were compelled to retire on their
base at Wu Chang. v -
Tho revolutionists with Infantry and
artillery attacked the government troops
which were reinforced from the Chinese
warships In the river and supported by
the guns of the fleet.
'While the fighting was In prorress the
thirteen foreign vest-els In the river
landed a Joint force under command of
Vice Admiral Sir Alfred L. Wlnsloe, com
mander of the British fleet, who, because
of his seniority, has been given the direc

of the foreign concessions.
The Red Cross neutral camp. In charge
of Dr. McWlUie of the American mission,

Four Thousand Men avngaaed.
. About 2,00b revolutionists were pitted
against an equal number of royal sol
diers and it was a fair fight. Early, re
ports that the rebels outnumbered the
enemy S to 1 were Incorrect. Only a part
of the revolutionary army participated
and they are claiming tonight that they
would have routed completely the sol
diers from the nortmMf their ammunition
had held out. ' "
. Two thousand rebels who-, occupy .Wu
Chang, Hankow; awl. Hoh Vang during
last night crossed the Yang Tho Klang
from Wu-Chang and at daybreak fell on
the imperial camp. They attacked with
dashes and the government troops, taken
somewhat at a . disadvantage, responded
loyally. Hie fighting as severe, put It t
is Impossible to estimate the casualties,
as the correspondents were not permitted
near tho firing; 'line 'and th'osa who wit- j
nessed the battle from the river were
fired on. ,
Fight Sert. at Daybreak. '
It was Just daybreak when Admiral j
Sah ordered his cruisers to disembark
their soldiers near Chang Piao's position. I
The revolutionists on the'Wu Chang 1
fortifications Immediately detected the
movement and opened a hot fire with !
their artlllerv. '
The crulsors and gun boats In the
river replied with a raiu of bhells, which
diverted the attention of the Wu Chang
artillerymen and effectually covered the
landing of the troops. ...
. Scattered bodies of revolutionists on
both aides of the river Joined in the
fighting, and by mid-forenoon it waa es
timated that 3.000 imperial troops and
nearly 10,400 rebels were ensaaed.
The warships uted up .a largo quantity !
of ammunition but the e(fvctens of
their fire as' hampered by fear of en
dangerlng the foreign concessions.
All the foreign warships iu the river
sent landing parties ashore for, the pro
tection of the foreign interests.
At the first sound of firing Admiral Sah
Chen Ping, In oommand of the Chinese
warships, ordered men landed to support
General Chang Plao. formerly commander
of the troops of the Wu-Chang district,
wh'had assumed command cf the im
perial troops. The rebolK had anticipated
this move by the fleet and directed a hot
fire on the warships and the landing par
ties from the Wu-Chang, bank of. the
river.
Admiral Sah In turn ordered - the war
ships to fire on the rebel field pieces,
and for a time shells fell thick among
the rebel gunners. The warship officers,
however, were seiiously handicapped by
the danger to the foreign eoncevdona in.
volved in their fire.
Fire ou For I en Reporters.
The foreign newepaper correspondents
narrowly escaped with their lives. They
had been oruUlng on the river In expec
tation of the battle and stationed their
launch along Admiral Pah's flagship and
between the fire of the two forces.
Admiral a.h ordered tbera out of the
firing liner. The launch and lte crew with

on by men who had been landed from the
warahlpa. Tortunately the correspond

Ti engagement continued several
hours, while thu c ombined land and ship

CHICAGO, Oct. is. Secretary of Agri

the criticism that had been made agalnat

delivered bin speech before the congresK
They on honest, cmiHclentlous. well-
Uieanlng people, probably with the bust
of rnotlven, but the sre.it American gov
ernment cannot he run upon theories
they hold." was the reply of Secretary
Wilson to the proivtila and objectlona
that had been made by scores of prohibi
tion societies and church organizations.
I Jon twant to talk about the cam
paign that haa been waged agalnat nie
since the announcement that 1 was going
to ..eak before the brewers. I do not
want lo l)n In the ' light of criticising
them. 1 am simply going ahead and do
ing what I think la right.
- "The majority of the people who have
attacked me are churoh people. I con
sider that I am a good church man my
self. Our points of view differ, that la
all"
Asks Abont Progressives.
Secretary Wilton seemed more Inter
ested In tlie progressive republican con
ference here He Ufcked several questions
about the meeting. Asked if he thought
It a certainty that President Taft would
be renominated he said:
"It would appear to be aa. The repub
lican party never baa refused a renoral
nation to a president who has made as
creditable a record as he haa. There
really la no Interest In politics yet. What
ever talk there Is la forced and the Inter
est manifest Is largely manufactured. "
Hundreds of protests had been sent to
President Taft and to the secretary him
self calling upon-him to refuse to appear
at the congress, but Mr. Wilson never
theless welcomed the members of the organisation-
To the nonexpert auditor his
speech consisted merely In assuring the
international visitors the same courtesy
the United States has received from the
European countries from , which some of
them come.
A few words went to explaining how
the crop ylels have been increasing by
importations from Europe snd a few
more described the enforcement of the
United Pistes pure food law.
Then he turned to the brewers.
What la Beerr
"I called our American ' brewers to
gether a few months ago," ha said, "to
learn from them what elements might
enter into the manufacture of their pro
duct, ao that Its purity, might be con
sidered and told them that government
official were about to enter on the con
sideration of their product and that wa
were disposed to deal fairly with all In

We made progress toward an under

nor adulterate.
