Employe* on Aug*tatA-Alken Branch
Will Not Quit If Effort l# Made to
Arbitrate.
Augusta. Qa., Oct. 81.?Every line
of tho Augusta Alken Railway and
Electric corporation, in the city di?
vision, remains tied fast tonight, fol?
lowing the strike at 10:30 today, and
no effort will be made by the com?
pany to operate cars before tomorrow
If st that time. 80 far as can be as?
certained from the company, no ar?
rangements have been ui??de or are
making with a view to early operation
of the cars.
Since the conference this forenoon,,
when the company declined to rein?
state the four men discharged for
"disloyalty to the company," which it
has definitely developed grew out of
an effort to organise a union?the
striking motormen and conductors
have remained pretty much at their]
homes or walking about the streets.
There is a conspicuous absence of
bolsterousness or drink, and quite a
little comment on the fact that the
conductors gave residents along the
bell lines notice before the strike was
ordered, and that they carefully de?
posited all cars In the barns in good
condition before deserting them. 9
A meeting of the men on the Au?
gusta-Alken Interurban line Will be
held at 1 o'clock tonight, when a
letter will be formulated and for?
warded to the company, notifying
the corporation that the cars on that
line will continue in uninterrupted
operation unless the company makes
sn effort to operate cars on ths city
division with Its office force, or with?
out making some effort to settle or
arbitrate the city division strike. In
that event the interurban men will
give residents along that line ample
notice md then run all cars into the
Saras snd leave them.

Communication With Hankow Not

Trouble in Peking.
Peking. Oct 31.?Fighting between
the rebel forces and the imperialism
continues. It is believed that the
rebels are making a determined re?
sistance. Late advices received here
Indicate that Hankow city was not
retaken by the imperialists, although
Gen Yin Tchang captured the rail?
way station immediately to the north.
Contrary to promisee, howevei, the
railway service has not yet been re?
sumed, nor has telegraphic commu?
nication been re-established. The
fact that the Associated Press cor?
respondent with Yin Tchang has sent
no word from the field in two days
may indicate that the censor will not
permit him to report unfavorable
news.
In the meantime there ere serious
dangers along the railway lino be?
tween the war minister's position and
Peking. Disaffection among the
troops and the people has prevented
communication between the various
sections of the loyal army.
Yuan Shi Kai started for the front
yesterday, and now is at 61 n Yuan

adopt is eagerly awaited. Negotiations
looking to a settlement between Yuan
Shi Kal and the revolutionary leaders
have been under way.
The Americans will hold a meeting
at the legation tomorrow to decide
upon definite measures for the!.*

which is in the hands of the revolu?

The native press has received the
reform edicts favorably. The reform?
ers In Peking are divided Into two
parties, the extremes, mainly South?
erners, who Insist upon the expulsion
of the Manchus, and the moderates,
who are numerous throughout the
empire. The latter are indifferent as

Chinese, but they want great adminis?

On account of the feeling aroused
by the murder of Deputy Sheriff

President Banks made his annual
report.
A .motion to lay before the
executive committee the matter of al?
lowing the university and Clemson to
play their annual football game at the
fair, without being taxed for $200
for the use of the grounds, met with
such a storm of opposition that it
was withdrawn.
The case of Clemson and the uni?
versity was stated by W. A. Metts and
P. H. Nelson, who told the society
that the students of the two institu?
tions contributed toward the support
of the football teams and needed :11
the receipts from the fair week game
to pay the training expenses incurred.
The annual game, they said, drew
thousands of people to the fair who
would otherwise stay away. They also
told the society that it were possible
that in future the game might be
played on the university's athletic
field, If the payment of the $200 for
the gridiron at the fair grounds was
Insisted upon.
The suggestion that the executive
commltteo look into the advisability of
relieving the university and Clemson
of this expense met with stich over?
whelming opposition that it was
withdrawn.
On the motion of J. B. Wingard of
Lexington, section 41 of the rules of
the societv was stricken out. It reads:
"The secretary Is obliged to put the
name and address of each exhibitor
on the entry card." Mr. Wlngard's
substitute for this rule, which was
adopted, reads SS follows: "All en?
tries of exhibits shall be made by du?
plicate numbers ami in duplicate en
try books, the number of the exhibit
shall be put in the original hook, end
its corresponding number, together
With the name of the exhibitor, in the
duplicate entry hook."
The amendment of this section of
the rules, it was said, would relieve
the judges of the embarrassment of
making awards when the name ?.f the
exhibitor of the article was in plain
view on the entry card

Olperteltsts forces have recovered
Hankow and massacred the popu?

Peking, China, Nov. 1.?The ap?
pointment of Yuan Shi Kai today as
premier of China will be followed by
a cessation of hostilities of Imperial?
ists and the opening of negotiations
with Gen. Li Yuen Heng, leader of
evolutionists at Hankow.
An Imperial edict providing for im?
portant administrative changes also
accepts the resignations of the mln*
Isters, but until Yuan 8hl Kal returns
Prince Shlng will continue to perform
the duties of premier and the present
cabinet will remain in office.
All the ministers attended a secret
session of the national assembly today
which it is understood practically
agreed to the demands of the disaf?
fected Manchu troops. A member of
the war board was appointed to con?
fer with the troops and express the
assembly's views.. The assembly also
discussed the recent loan for which
arrangements had been made by a
Belgian and French syndicate. The
ministers explained that the loan was
needed for the purpose of carrying on
field operations.
It wa? flnaly decided to refer the
matter by telegraph to Yuan Shi
Kai.
The parle among the people of
Peking which ensued after the issu?
ance of the first Imperial edict has
been largely dispelled. Reports re?

Fu King have gone over to (he revo?

TAFT BACK FROM TRIP.
Returns to Washington to Leave
Again Today.
Washington, Nov. 1.?President
Taft got back to Washington tonight
after an absence of over two months.
It was just 71 days ago that the
special session of congress came to
an end and that Mr. Taft left for
Beverly and the summer White
House by way of Rochester, N. Y.,
where he attended the annual ft, A.
R. encampment.
in the time he has been away, the
president has traveled, counting side
trips, about 15,000 miles and has vis?
ited 26 States. Many important ap?
pointments are to be made, and Mr.
Taft had to take up executive busi?
ness here tonight. He came to Wash?
ington by special train from Morgan
town, W. Va., where he participated
in the inauguration of Thomas
Hodges as president of the Univer?
sity of West Virginia. Mr. Tait made
several speeches during the day. At
Morgantown he spoke to sevo^l
thousand school children and later
repeated his arbitration address to
the students of the university. At
Fairmant and Grafton ho made short
talks.
The president is due in New York
early tomorrow. He will board the
Mayflower and review the battleship
fleet now in New York harbor. From
New York he will go to Hot Springs.
Va., for a four-day rest, and then be
will "take the road" again for a trip
to Cincinnati and several cities in
Kentucky and Tennessee. As now
planned this trip will end at Wash?
ington November 12.
Complaint has been made of chil?
dren going on the roof of the Y. M.
C. A. building and throwing from
there at passersby. While this may
be fine sport for the children, it is
not enjoyable to thoso who pass b>, and
the boys who h .ve heretofore engag?
ed In the sport may get lnt"> trouble
if they do not desist. All persons in?
terested are invited to go through tho
building at any time to make an in?
spection of It, but those who do got
visit the place for an orderly purpose
are not wanted.
Hlnson of James island ami D. P.
Duncan of Columbia. reported that
his committee was ready to publish
the history of the society as soon as
the IInances of the organisation were
in shape to advam & th< m the nscsa

Mr. Clark Said that his ommit

data about the South Carolina Agri?
cultural and Mechanical society from
Its inception In ante bellum days to
tho present time, it is hoped thai
the history will be largely subscribed
for by members of the society.
