Pekin, Oct. 13.-China today faces an unprecedented crisis. With the spread of revolutionary activity, the opinion is getting ground that the fate of the ruling dynasty hangs in the balance. The revolution is no longerconlfined to tile central provinces, a thousand miles away fronm the capital. Pekin itself Is threatened. Members of the cabinet admitted to. day that the garrison here is known to be honeycombed with the revolu tionary sentiment. The same condition exists in tile two great military posts which guard the capital, Pao Ting Fu and Tien Taln. There are still official attempts to minimize the gravity of the situation, but the reports reaching the capital give little basis for hope.

Tile government today followed up Its act yesterday, cashiering the vice roy of Wu Chang, by extending the same treatment to General Chang Piao, the commander of the troops in the Wu Chang district, where this week's outbreak began. Every effort of the authorities for the present will be concentrated in an attempt to provide adequate de fense for the capital of the empire.

Class Ad History CXXXVIII.--FINDING A PLACE. One day last week a woman availed herself of the opportunity to get a class ad without cost and she asked for a Job. By the time the three-day period had passed, during which The Missoulian makes no charge for an ad of this sort, there had been so many replies to the ad that the woman decided to continue it; she believed there would be a better place offered. So this ad was printed for a total term of 10 days: SITUATION WANTED-PEMALE. POSITION ON RANCH AS HOUSE" keeper where there Is no other wo man. F. S., care Mismoulian.

Lippincott of Butte, represent ing Paul Albertson of the same city, today presente* to Sheriff Higgins' a sheriffs certificate of sale of the state fair grounds, and in return was given i a deed to the property:. The action was a surprise here, as no one ap peared to know that a sheriff's certifl cate of sale had ever been issued. The story of the deed which was Is sued today dates back to 1896 when the Montana Fair and Racing association was In control of the grounds. In that year Ham Wallin of Butte ob tained a judgment against the asso clatlon and the property was adver tised for sale by the sheriff. Paul Albertson bid the grounds lit Novem ber 14, 1896, for $464.63: and received a sheriff's certificate of sale. He nadtle no effort to obtllln a deed to the property, and seeminngly It was known to no person that the grounds had been sold. Willing to CompromJse. Judge LIpplncott, who has presented the matter before the legal advisers of the state, arrived here yesterday and today secured the deed from the sher-. Iff. "The sheriff could do nothing else but make it out," said Judge Lippln cott today, a fact acknowledged by the governor, the attorney general and the cot:nty attorney. "Mr. Albertson does not desire to ibe unreasonable nor does he wish to de prive the state of property It believed it owned. He is willing to compro mise on a reasonable basis." It is very likely that the matter will be fought out In t1'., (. -t 'ts. While no Investigation has beltn imado, per sons familiar with the history of the Montana Fair and Racing assoolation assert It never oiwlled the grounds, the deed to which Mr. Albertson se cured today. However, if Mr. Albert son's title Is clear and sound, he ownm not only the grounds an the buildings on the property when he re ceived the certificate of sale In 1896, but also every building and every permanent improvement on the grounds since that time.

Although court proceedings moved forward without Interruption, the magnll tude of issues involved In the examination of Z. T. Nelson, first tale'smlan, made proceedings delib erate. At sunset, when court adjourned. arguments on Nelson's status re. malned unfinslehed. At the close of court, Sheriff William A. Hammel and a deputy escorted the prisoner, ut manacled, from the hall of records through the adjoining courthouse cor rldors and across a narrow street, where his brother, John J.

The sombert courtroom scene, where opposing counsel argued for every point of ad vantage In the struggle over a man's life, was relieved once or twlie by toutches of unconscious humor, which seemed to appeal to the court. Once, when (G. Ray Berton, a boyish attor ney. who, single-handed, made the long afternoon's argument for the state, assured the court that he was not intending to "swing an effigy of error to terrify your honor," Judge Bordweil smiled broadly. Cases Cited. "No, no," he said, understandingly. and settled himself to listen further. By chance, one of the cases' olted by Attorney Horton to show the law regardcling eligibility of talesmen. was that of Juror Arthur in the trial of Abraham Ruef, now serving a 14-year sentence in San Quentin penitentiary for bribery in the so-called San Pran clsco graft cases, which attracted na tional attention a few years ago. Another case cited was the famous one of "Red Shirt Gordon." who with a band of fellow-convicts fought his way•v out of Folsom penitentiary in one of the most sensational breaks for freedom the west has known. The constitution of California guar anteces a fair trial "for all parttes in litigation." whereas that of the United States guarantees such rights to tith defendant. The penal code of the state. under act of the legislature, was Intended. Horton declared, to enable Intelligent men to serve on juries, and allows any to do so under usual re strletions. who are not of a "state of mind which will prevent acting with Ssentire Imruartatllty anm without preju die, to th1e suhstantlal rights of either I ot these two proposltions Mr. Hor I 1 in bhasedl his argument, contending t first thait the rights of the state must hI . lpresr.rved as scrupulously as thcew of the defendant, and further, that the r"lllniin! c'.
