t'oreiru Diplomats In Peking Die

tlun Government Eagerly
Seeking New Loan.
rEKINQ, China. Oct. 2L There waa
little In tbe news received at the capital
today to reassure 'the government or re
lieve the general feeling of uneasiness.
The missionaries in this province, Chi
14. have teen warned by students that
there will be an outbreak near Peking
tomorrow. Considerable credence is at
tached to the warning, as similar advance
information reached tbe missionaries at
Wu Chang prior to the uprising there.
Evidently troublo is brewing In Tien
Tsln and a telegram from there con
tains the ominous statement that the
yamen of the viceroy at Tsl Nan, the
capitol of Shang Tung province has been
burned.
Consular reports from I-Chang, ; which
has been isolated for some days, con
firm earllor rumors that the city is in
the possession of the revolutionists. Thus
far there has been do disturbances In
I-Chang with the exception of an agita
tion on the part of 15,000 coolies employed
on railway construction, who demand
payment of their wages in sliver, which
cannot be had.
The national aSRemWy will convene

fhe necessary military and commissary
precautions in this city and at Tien Tsin
for the protection of the legations and
the citizens of the countries which they
represent.
Ministers at Lon-nerheads.
Yuan Phi Kal, the newly appointed vice
roy of tbe provinces of Hu Peh and Hu
nan, and Yin Tcliang, the minister of
war, are at loggerheads. Tns former is
dissatisfied with the preparations made
by the minister of war, whom he charac
terizes as 'boastful and incapable."
It is understood here that Yuan Shi Kel j
Is now considering whether he will take i
supreme, command of the army along the !
Yang Tse river or concentrate his efforts
on the recapture of "Wu-Chajig. Should
he finally decide not to carry out oris of
those propo3als it would be a crushing
Mow to the government.
The orders issued recently for the dis
patch of 30,000 troops ;ow ir. Manchuria
and Shan Lun to Hankow, appear to be
treated as a dead letter. There is no
sign whatever of any such movement.
Three train loads of troops are about to
leave Mukden, ostensibly for Kin Chow,
Manchuria. Their real destination, how
ever, is believed to be Peking.
News of Defeat Leaking Oat.
The news of the defeat of the Imperial
forces at tho hands of the rebels at Han
kow Is gradually leaking out. The pub
lic is so excited that any possible In
flammatory incident such as the opening
of the national assembly tomorrow is
likely to be the signal for a crisis at
Peking. The attitude of the radical
members of the assembly Is moat aggres
sive, and it is not expected that the re
Kent will venture to open the assembly
in person.
A dispatch received here from the Brit
ish consul at Hankow dated noon of Oc
tober 30 reads:
"The railroad station at Kilometre Ten
was evacuated by the imperial forces
Thursday. The Imperialists are now hold
ing the station at Ten-Mile creek. The
loyalist warships have retreated to a
point out of sight of Hankow." J
Kamor Flagship la Sunk. I
There is no doubt that more serious
news than that of the defeat of the
government troops by tho revolutionists
at Hankow Wednesday hus been received
at Peking, but not published. There are
persistent rumors that Admiral Salt Chen
Ping's flagship was sunk or captured.
It is reported that the rebels are now
holding Hwang Chow, at the narrowest
point of the Yang Tse Klang liver and
and that they ale also In possession of
1-Chang and the railway near Kwang
Shul. The diplomats met yesterday and con.
udered China's foreign finauclal obliga
tions. The government baa requested a
stponement of the payment of the
Boxer inoemiuiy insuuimeius and is
eagerly seeking a new loan.

has been entirely satisfactory.
Both exhibits and attendance have
demonstrated conclusively thst the an
nual Land Show for Omaha la to become
a fixture, not because it Is designed to
be made a money-maker, but for the
reason that In the future, as In the past,
it Is to be one of the greatest educational
factors In getting the people back to and
nearer the land, millions of broad acres
of which remain uncultivated In Ne
braska and the neighboring states, and
all of which would produce abundantly
it but settled and brought under a state
of cultivation. ,
At the Land Show lecture during tho
last week time and again it has been
stated by land experts and agriculturists
who have given the subject close atten

ulation of SO.OOO.OOO or more .could live

Fine' Lectnree Heard,'
During tha last week timely lectures
have been given upon timely topics re
lating to the farm, the ranch and the
orchard, and all of the many farmers
who have listened to these talks and the
illustrated travelogues have returned to
their homes feeling that they have been
greatly benefited by the information re
ceived from first hands, given by men
who havo devoted the best yeara of
their Uvea to a scientific study ot better
agricultural and horticultural waya than
those pursued by their forefathers.
The exhibits on display represent every
