HANKOW, Oct. 19.-(Delayed In Trans- mission.) A two days' battle between the government forces from the north and the revolutionists ended In a victory for tho latter. The rebels forced the im perial troops to retreat to a point ten miles north of Hankow. The loyalists' gunboats dropped several tulles down the liver. HANKOW, China, Oct. 20.-(rty Wlre Ichh to Kiu Klang, 2:45 p. m. Relayed by Telegram to Shanghai, 4 p. m.) Jov ernment troops retreated to Seven-Mile creek, beyond Hankow fluvial. Revolu tionists claim a gnat victory. Chinese warships retreated down the river out of siKht of the settlement, which is quiet. When the fighting ceased Wednesday evening the revolutionists took up a strong position. Reinforcements arrived during the night and early this morning (Thursday) a. force fully 6,000 strong commenced an advance on the Imperial encampment. The advance was conducted cautiously. On the march the rebels burned hundreds of huts, fearing ambush. The loyalist Infantry made a faint show Of resistance, while the shots from the imperial warships failed to dislodge a rebel field gun which had been made the special objeto of attack. When the rebel scouts reached the Im perial camp they found It deserted and the main body entered, waving banners and shouting in Jubilation. The loyalist evacuation was so hurried that they left many tents and six car loads f baggage and ammunition. The rebel army Is now entrenched In camp three miles from Hankow. The loyalists have halted seven miles farther north, where they are awaiting rein forcements. Rebels Victorious. PEKING, Oct. 20.-Fears which had prevailed here since yesterday were con firmed tonight by the Associated Press dispatch from Hankow which stated that the rebels were winning. The message, tho first to reach the capl tal with news of the situation at Hankow since telegraphic communication with the south was interrupted at 7 o'clock Wednesdey night, was sent from Hankow early yesterday morning. It was carried by a messenger to the nearest open wire and received here this evening. Up to 6 o'clock tonight -tho government and the foreign legations were In the dark as to developments In tho south. The offi cials claimed that General Yin Tchang had completed the organization of his forces and was rapidly pushing forward his troops, meanwhile contenting him self with reporting military details witu out furnishing definite news of Wednes day's fight It waa explained that the concentration of the two imperial divisions had been completed last night at Kwangshua on the Peking & Hankow railroad seventy miles north of Hankow. It was under stood that General Yin Tchang, the commander-in-chief, bad reached Kwang shua. Official assurances a'.so were given that although tho situation had been grave recently tbo outlook was now much Improved and the ultimate triumph of the government was certain. A rumor was current that the rebels had cut In behind the Imperial troops and captured Slaokun, thirty miles north of Hankow. Another rep art was that the rebels held the railway tunnM at Sin Yang Chow, In the southern part of Honan province and about 100 miles north of Hankow. Attempts to establish wireless com munication between the capital and Han kow have thus far been fruitless. Consular dispatches from Yun Nan re port persistent rumors of disaffection among the Imperial soldiers. Both the modern troops and the local regiments threaten to mutiny because they have not been paid and refuse to march againet the rebels in Sze-Chnan. The viceroy Is said to have withdrawn the ammunition fr.im tho troips and to have fortified his yamen. Tho French consul at Yuan Nan re ceived a letter signed "War Minister of the Revolutionists." recommending that foreigners leave tho country while yet there was time. In consequenoe the mis sionaries have been warned py couriers and are preparing to leave. A Mohammedan rebellion Is reported Imminent In Kan Hu, the scene of the Mohammedan revolt of 1&8-75. The belief la strong here that a serious defeat of the government forces, as seems probable from tonight's dispatches from Hankow, would have such an effect on tho country generally that It would fall ripe Into the bauds of the revolutionists. The legations today sent a strong Joint protect to the government against tne prohibition of cipher diepatches, which is completely dislocating trade and (Continued on Second Page.) v JT ."K' J.

STATE CHALLENGES ADAMS Talesman la Socialist and Is Firm In the Itellef that Times Hi plosion Was line to Gas. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20,-The men who probably will be the first two Jurors in the McNamara murder case were se lected today. They are Seaborn H. Man ning and F. D. Green. Both men, al ready passed for cause by the defense, were pussed by the state today, and In dications were that Manning and proba bly Green would escape peremptory chal lenge. The death penalty, which the lower bouse of the California legislature voted to abolish this year became a prominent issue In Judge Walter Bordwell'a court today In the effort to get a Jury to try Jamoa B. McNamara, The sentiment against it caused surprised comment among the easterners In the courtroom and four successive talesmen, under ex amination by the state, said with more or less emphasis that they were opposed to the Infliction of the death penalty. State C'hallensea Adams. The state challenge Talesman T. W. Adams at the opening of the McNamara murder trial today because of Implied bias. The challenge was based on Adams' opposition to the death penalty and also what the California criminal code defines as "actual bias." The court took the chal lenges now awaiting his decision. The men challenged by the defense for cause are George W. McKee, Otto Jessen and E. J. Shower. McKee and Jessen are against unions and believe dynamite caused the explosion,' while Shower believes dyna mite placed through the Instrumentality During hla examination by Clarence Darrow, Adams said he did not believe he could be convinced by circumstantial evidence. There Is no section of the criminal oode covering circumstantial evidence, and for this reason it was necessary to construe Adams' attitude on this question as bias toward the prisoner. Adams Is a socialist and a portion of his examination waa taken up In sep arating his theoretical political beliefs and his personal attitude toward tbo prisoner. Itefense Resists Challenge. The defense under Attorney C. 8. Dar row resisted the challenge. Darrow's ex amination waa by way of attempted dem onstration that a man who believes that gas destroyed the Los Angeles Tlmos building still might be unprejudiced as to whether or not James B. McNamara is guilty ot causing the death of Charles J. Haggorty, a machinist who lust his life In the Times disaster. "You believe the building waa blown up by gas?" ho asked. "Yes," said Adams. "But you have no opinion as to whether the defendant, by breaking a gaa main or otherwise, caused the building to be filled with gss?" "No," said the talesman. The state takes the position that belief In the gas theory Is virtually belief to the Innocence of the defendant. Mcintosh Is f ballenared. A few minutes later the state chal lenged Talesman A. R. Mcintosh because of his objection to the death penalty on circumstantial evidence. This challenge also was resisted by the defense. Implied bias waa the formal ground for the challenge. Laughlin Endorses Aldrich Reserve Bank CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Prof. J. L. Laugh lin of the University of Chicago, chair man of the executive commltteo of the National Citizens' league, organized year au to piouiolo sound banking laws, today expressed himself In favor of the Aldrich central reserve system when he appeared before the subcommittee of the national commission, Iroldlng public hear ings here. Mr. Laughlin said: , "The essential defect of our currency system is the rigidity of credit. We have an antiquated banking system, if what we have can be termed a system. The re quirement for a lawful reserve limit in banks Is perhaps the chief cause of the inelasticity of currency and causes panics more than anything else." Hearst Comes Back Into tho Democratic Fold NEW YORK, Oct. 20. William R. Hearst's announcement that tin was back In the regular democratic fold caused much speculation In political circles to day regarding the fate of the. Independ ent league. This organization was founded by Mr. Hearst and nominated candidates, supported by him In the last national and state campaigns. The ques tion now Is to what extent If at all, ho will use It In coming political battles. Mr. Hearst declared himself last night at the opening rally of the local fusion campaign In the first publlu address he haa made el nee his return from abroad. "I am speaking," he said, "as a good citizen, I hope, and also an a good demo crat. Mr. Murphy and his kind drove me out of the democratic, party five years ago, but the commendable course of the national democracy has brought me back Into the fold." He declared he would continue his fight against the union democratio prin ciples ot Tammany hall, but that the greatest benefit loyal democrats could confer upon the national democracy was to free It of the "hindrance ot Murphy and Tammany hall." Mr. Hearst's audience waa composed al most entirely of republicans and mem bers of the Independence league and his declaration caused surprise and wide spreaed comment. The fusion movement here with which Mr. Hearst's adherents have allied themselves Is opposing the regular democratio candidates to be voted on this fall for the assembly, lho Judiciary and county offices.
