I Special to T>/e Times-Dispatch.]
Newport News, Va., October 19-?
Fired by the spirit of "61, upwards
of 300 gray-clad veterans of the Con?
federate Army marched in review be?
fore 20.000 people here to-day In the
grand purutie which marked the close
of the annual reunion of the Virginia
Orand Camp. All along the two miles
of tho march throngs clupped and
cheered the veterans, and the soldiers
replied with tne "rebel yell" of half a
century ago.
Marching with the soldiers were sev?
eral hundred of the Sons of Veterans,
the Huntington Rifles, of this city; the
maids, sponsors and Daughters of tho
Confederacy in carriages, and the city
fire department. The band of the Eagle
Engine Company and a platoon ot po?
lice headed the parade. The weather
was ideal, a cool wind blowing, and
none of the veterans suffered any be?
cause of the long rnaroh.
The oloslng business session of tho
convention was held this morning at
the Academy of Music. Speaking to a
resolution offered by Major Hunter,
recommending that a memorial win?
dow be placed In the So'.dler*' Home
Chapel at Richmond.. Judge George Ij.
Christian, of Richmond, paid an elo?
quent tribute to the Confederate wo?
men, and concluded by declaring/
"Henry Ward Beccher said that tho
time would come when the relatives of
Confederate soldiers would <hang their
heads In shame, but I ask you to-day
who the memories are most honored,
that of the lecher and libertine, Henry
Ward Beecher. or the old Confederate
soldiers? The day will come when all
of the land will pay honor to the mem?
ory of the Confederate soldier."

not get Into the home. Mrs Monta?
gue struck a responsive chord In the
breasts of the veterans when she ap?
pealed, "Do not let the belles of the
sixties be beggars of to-day."
A resolution allowing camps that
have gotten In arrcure In their dues
to again become affiliated with the
Grand Camp by payment of dueB for

Camp, with dissension.

DENIES RUMORS
OF RESIGNATION
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Not Preparing to Leave
Cabinet.
Washington. October 19?Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, who reached
here late to-day from Chicago, de?
nied rumors afloat to the effect that
lie had handed his resignation to
President Taft, to take effect Novem?
ber 15, or as soon thereafter as suit?
able.
"There Is absolutely no justification
for the. rumor." he declared emphati?
cally. "I have no thought of hand?
ing In my resignation any time soon."
The secretary was visibly annoyed
by the minor and Immediately took
steps to discover who had started It.
The report was so circumstantial that
It was published In the evening papers,
although complete ignorance of the
matter was expressed by the Cabinet
officer's son and officials of the Do.
partment of Agriculture. The fact
that Secretary Wilson was on his way
Ihere from Chicago complicated the
situation, but promptly on his arrival
he entered a vigorous denial of the
report.
Taft Denies It.
Livingston, Mont.. October 19.?
When informed on his arrival here of

OUTCOME OF BATTLE
STILL IS IN DOUBT
Hankow, Scene of Fighting, C ut Off From Out?
side World?Refugees Confirm Massacre
of 800 Mancnus.
Hankow again is cut oft from direct
telegraphic communication with the
outside world. It is not known, there?
fore, whether the lighting, which be?
gan early Wednesday morning between
revolutionists and the Imperial troops,
continues. Last advices out of Hankow
indicated that the rebels had retired
Into Wu-Chang. having met a tem?
porary reverse. But the fact that
nothing has been received by the lega?
tions at Peking during the past
twenty-four houre would seem to in
dicate that the imperialists have not
succeeded in forcing a decisive en?
gagement.
Yuan Shi Kai, in assuming the office
of Viceroy of Hu-Peh end Hu-Kan.1
supersedes in authority the War Min?
ister, Yin Tchung. He probably will
leave to-morrow for Hankow, and
goes under orders to inflict rigorous
punishment upon the rebel ringlead?
ers.
The German legation at Peking de?
nies the report that German troops en?
gaged In street fighting at Hankow.
Refugees from Shanghai contlrm re?
ports of the massacre of S00 Manchus
at Wu-Chang, neither sex nor age
being considered.
Additional Japanese destroyers are
now on their way to Hankow.
Tho American legation at Peking has
aske<j the Chinese government to in?
sure the safe transportation of Amer?
icans from the territory betw.een
Peking and Hankow should the neces?
sity for leav'ng arise.
Situation In Doubt.
Peking, October 19.?The foreign
legations in Peking have receivod no
dlspatchea from Hankow since 6 o'clock
last evening. The last message from
the American consul-general, Roger S.
Greene, stated only that fighting had
begun. It Is believed, however, that
the concessions In Hankow are safe
and that the ten or twelve foreign
I cruisers and gunboata in the harbor
"Begets Health'

orders have their
toot in the stom?
ach. Try it for a

all It, imn.il.Va.
sire ample protection even from the
joint Chinese army and navy,
But It will bo Impsslble to prevent
stray shells from threatening foreign?
ers, or conflagrations and looting by
the rabble. It would be difficult to
cordon the concessions, becuuse only
narrow streets cut them off from che]
densely packed Chinese city.
Mob Excesses Feared.
It is hoped that all the women andj
children have already been safely re?
moved from Hankow, as It is feared the;
defeat of the revolutionaries might be
followed by excesses on the part of
the mob. ,
The German legation at Peking to
duy denied the report that German
troops had engaged in fighting In the
streets of Hankow. The board of com?
munications early last evenUng re?
ceived a dispatch which mentioned
Slaoshan. In Hu-Peh province, as hav?
ing been captured by the rebels.
A report has reached here that im?
perialist troops have refused to detrain
at Hankow. Other reports say t'he
Chinese gunboats took little part In
yesterday's fighting, as a direct fire
would have endangered their own
troops, while a flank lire would have
Involved a bombardment over the
foreign concessions.
Signs of discontent at Hankow are
subsiding after yesterday's tight. The
rebels who retreated because of short?
age of ammunition and the arrival of
government reinforcements, retired In
a southerly direction. Some of them re
entered the native city of Hankow,
while others moved toward Wu-Chang.
The loyal troops wore not sufficiently
strong to press home any advantage
gained.
The American att'aches, Lieutenant
Colonel William D. Beach and Captain
J. II. Beeves, returned to Peking last
night, because they were not permit?
ted to accompany the troops to Han?
kow. They say the orderliness and
precision with whloh the troop trains
arc being sent Southward is admirable.
The rapidity with which 20,000 men
i have been sent away has surprised the
, military attaches. The Chinese army,
[ they declare, seems to have learned
I the lessons of modern tactics well, but
fighting spirit Is evidently still lacking
I in the race.
Fear DInloynltj.
That-the rebels did not advance along
the railway prior to the arrival of the
imperial troops may not have been ow?
ing - to lack of Initiative, but to the
possibility that the revolutionists
would prove disloyal to the new re?
public which the leaders are bent upon
establishing. It Is thought that both
armies are In danger of wholesale dis?
affection. No concrete Idea, either Im?
perial or republican, holds the minds
of the troops, while general discontent
with bad government affects both.
Reports that the infant Emperor has
been taken to Ten Tsln and secretly
placod In the foreign concessions are
groundless.
The American legation has asked the
Chinese government to Insure tho safe
transportation of Americana from tho
i Peking-Hankow Railway zone should
I disorders develop. Much alarm has
1 bean displayed all along the railway
line, owing- to the wildest rilftors,
while no news has been made public
to reassure the people.
A strict censorship was eatablished
to-day on all transprovinclal messages
regarding military movements, and also
on all code messages except consular
and legation dispatches. Even the le?
gations are deprived of news by the
Interruption of the wires, and there is
anxious suspense, us the last messages
received described the continuance of
desultory tiring, with rebel reinforce?
ments crossing the river.
Dispatches from Shanghai, asking
Peking for news, say the telegraph
wires from Hankow to Shanghai are
also cut.
Oflicials of the foreign board reit?
erate that the recapture of Wu-Chang
Is only a matter of days.
The province of Siechuen continues
to be Isolated.
Rebeln Hold Yunglxe Valley.
Shanghai. China, October 19.?Six
packed steamers arrived here from
Hankow to-day. carrying refugees
The steamer Relgravla was occupied
exclusively by foreign passengers,
who were given free accommodations
at the direction of the consuls in
Hankow. The ship was so crowded
that many passengers slept on the
floors of the hold. Most of the for?
eigners were Russians employed in the
tea factories and Belgian Iron work?
ers employed In the steel works, the
Hanyang arsenal and on the Peking
Hankow Railway.
The refugees declaro that the whole
Yangtze valley, from Hankow to Shang?
hai. Is In the hands of the robels, with
tho possible exception of one or two
of the larger cities, to which provin?
cial officials have retired with their
available troops. It has been insistent?
ly stated here that Kluklang, 150 miles
below Hankow, Is under revolutionary
control. This Is denied, however, by
foreign officials and by the representa?
tives of the Chinese customs service.
Accounts of the revolutionary attack
on Wii-Chang. as given by the refugcos
i to-day, emphasize particularly the
rffassacro of the Manchus In that city.

Dandruff
Cure
Tragle Drug Co. Guarantee Parisian
Sage for Dandruff and
Falling Hair
Destroy the dandruff germs, that's the
only known way to eradicate dandruff
and PARISIAN SAGE contains just the
ingredients that will destoy germs
? Dandruff causes falling hair and bald?
ness because the little dandruff germs
rob the hair roots of the nourishment that
should go to supply life, lustre and vigor
to the hair.
PARISIAN SAGE costs but 50 cents
a bottle at Tragle Co.'s and druggists
everywhere. It is guaranteed to banish
dandruff, stop falling hair or scalp itch,
or money back. The girl with the Auburn
I hair is on every bottle. It is a most de?
lightful and daintily perfumed dressing
that quickly invigorates the scalp.
"My hair was falling out badly until
I began to use PARISIAN SAGE, but
it looks fine now. My hair was getting
very thin, but it is getting thick and wavy.

In the slaughter neither age nor sex
was regarded, and It Is doubtful, the
refugees say, whether a single repre?
sentative of the Manohu race was left
alive there. Similar slaughter of the j
Manch us followed In Hankow and Han- |
yang when these cities fell.

"The revolutionary leaders," the pa?
per says, "displayed secrecy, prompti?

dom shown by the governing classes
In China. But the massacre of the
Manchus In our three cities Is a ghnstly
blot on the reputation of the revolu?
tionaries."
The run on the Imperial Bank here
continues, but the ottlclals appear to
have umple resources. They now are
paying out for the first time the newly
minted dragon-.iesign dollars from the
mint at Nanking, the provincial capi?
tal. Their large reserve of Mexican
dollars was completely exhausted by
the demand earlier In the week.
A Red Cross organization has been
started here. At Hankow and Wu?

Red Cross volunteers for the first time
In history.

ranks; those with information should
secretly report the enemy's condi?
tion. We expect that our movement
will succeed. If It fails the ten day's
massacre of Hang Chow and Klatlng,
when the Manchus subdued China, will
be repeated.
"It is hoped that our patriotic breth?
ren will respond from all directions
and with unanimous minds will turn
this universe about."
A proclamation credited to the revo?
lutionary leader in Hankow Is as fol?
lows:
"I come to save the Chinese people.
I have no Idea of acquiring personal
profit or preference, but aim only to
pull you out of the lire and cure your
cankering maladies. Hitherto you
have been bitterly oppressed. You
have been drowned in a sea of 'mis?
ery by a government of aliens- Your
rulers have treated you like bastards,
not like children.
"Lot whoever Is animated by patri?
otic sentiment come quickly and Join
our ranks. With us he .will obtain un?
ending glory by delivering his country
from the Manohu barbarian, who hlth
' erto has eaten our Mesh. from now
j on we shall sleep in his skin.
"Yet let us he merciful even to our
enemies. Our soldiers must be careful
not to recklessly kill the Manchus. I^et
i us give them an opportunity to sur?
render their uniform? and weapons. If
they do not then yield and continue
enemies of the revolutionary move?
ment, they must he killed."
Killed 800 Manchjio.
Arrivals from Hankow report that
SOO Manchus were massacred. To make
sure of the Identity of their victims,
the rebels took advantage of the slight
difference In the Chinese and Mauchu
pronunciation. When a suspect was
taken he was ordered to count, and
tho crucial test was his pronunciation
of the numeral six, whloh. In Chinese,
is llushillu.

where the body of Bishop Van do

from head to foot In purple, the color
designated to the bishops by the Ro?
man Church. Over the cassock, which

was upon this, and this In turn waa

black catafalque.
The catafalque was Immediately un?
der the sanctuary lamp. In front of
the tabernacle, which Is only extin?
