In Oakland, Sun Jose, Marysville and a score of ether places in the northern part of the state and in many places in the south women were registered without question. DR SUN NOT IN PORTLAND.

EMINENT CHINESE WHO WILL asaaaaaaaaaMasaaa, ST Fi" I"'," i J ;.. 4 fa - ' J PEKIN IN TERROR; REBELS ADVANCE Birth of New Republic Declared in Wuchanj. Revolutionist Forces en Route to Meet Imperial Troopa -Fora-iegn Consuls Notified. Ixinclon A dispatch from Shanghai to the Central News says that a re public hits been declared at Wuchang and that the rebel leader at Hankow has notified foreign consuls that a new government has been established. The rebellion is spreading rapidly. Formidable outbreaks have been re ported at Tientsin and Paotingfu, and similar outbreaks are expected at any moment at Canton and Nanking. The authorities at Pekin are in a panic. A strong force of rebels has left Hankow to meet the imperial troops from the north. The rebels have commandeered trains and forced terrified engineers to take them where they demanded to go. Revolution Near Capital. Pekin With a revolution nesring the gates of Pekin, the government has partly abandoned its efforts to minimize the situation, and it now ad mits not only that the republican up rising has gone beyond the confines of the more central provinces, but that the entire imperial army is honey combed with disaffection. Not a di vision is absolutely to be trusted, it is said in Pekin. The revolutionists are well organ ized and have formally proclaimed the republic. It is reported here that the president chosen is Li Yuen Hung, lieutenant commander of the new im perial army, though it is believed that if this is so his election is temporary. Dr. Sun Yat Sen is still regsrdod as the man who eventually will have the place. Dr. Sen was reported to be in the United States recently, but is said by some to have returned to China, by way of Singapore, which for some time past has been headquarters for the revolutionists. Hankow has been ravaged by out laws, who are not connected with the revolution, and the revolutionary suthorities are making every effort to restore order. The announcement was promulgated officially that rioters caught in acts of lawlessness will be dealt with summarily. The revolu tionary army is strongly entrenched and it is the policy of the heads of the movement to give protection to foreign ers of all nationalities, hoping thereby to demonstrate that they have the situ ation in hand and to win sympathy from abroad. It is no secret here that the dynasty is regarded with more or less contempt by the repre sentatives of other governents, and the consuls are continuing their policy of insisting upon strict neutrality. The rebels are under command of General LI Tuan Hong, who is an ac complished military strategist, and are otherwise well officered, despite reports to the contrary circulated by the government Women "Gloriously Happy." New York The National headquar ters of the woman suffrage organiza tion are In gala dress over the news of the victory in California. "We are gloriously happy," declared Dr. Anna Shaw, national president of the suf frage party. This is the beginning of the end. The victory in California gives to the cause as many voters as in the five other states where we have previously won. Kansas, Ore Ron and other Western states are bound to follow the lead at the next election." SI, 000,000 In Gold Coming. XT.. TI1.1 itamihin Vietnria. 11UI1ID .

ELECTRIC TRUST BEATEN. B'g Monopoly Can No Longer Dictate Retail Prices. Washington, D. C. By the sweeping decree entered in the United States Circuit court at Toledo, the backbone of the so-called electrical trust was broken and in the judgment of Attor ney General Wickeraham the govern ment was equipped with precedents of genuine value in its prosecutions of commercial combinations forbidden by the Sherman law. Meeting the government's charge that the trust controlled the lamp business of the country, regulating by agreement prices at which all lamps were sold, the decree severs all con nection between the General Electric company and the National Electric Lamp company. The latter concern and all its subsidiaries are ordered dissovled. The important principle was laid down, according to the attorney gen eral, that once a lamp is sold by a manufacturer, the price at which it is resold by a dealer or jobber must be open to free competition. The decree was acquiesced in by the defendant companies and this gives the govern ment the moral certainty that there will be no appeal. After the Supreme court's decision in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases, Mr. Wickeraham said, the electrical companies ex pressed a willingness to withdraw their original answers and submit to a decree, Mr. Wickeraham added: "The National Lamp company and all its subsidiary companies are or dered to be dissolved, and the General Electric company is forbidden hereaf ter to conduct any business in the manufacture or sale of electric lamps except in its own name. The practice of fixing the retail price on any style of lamp is hereafter forbidden. "The method by which competition in unpatented articles has been sup pressed through the use of a patented article is declared to be unlawful and is forbidden. The practice consisted in a system of contracts with dealers, jobbers and consumers by which they were compelled to agree to purchase from defendants all their supply of carbon lamps on which the patent had expired, as a condition to the right to purchase certain lamps known to the trade as tungsten, tantalum and metal ized filament lamps, which are patent ed, it is still asserted. "By means of aggregating dis counts on lamps claimed to be patent ed with discounts on lamps not patent ed, another weapon was used to sup press competition in unpatented lamps. "Both these practices had the effect of continuing a monopoly on an aritcle long after the patent had expired, by tieing up its sale with a patented arti cle which the trade required. Fruit Fly Real Menace. Sacramento In an effort to prevent the Mediterranean fruit fly from en tering California, State Horticultural Commissioner Jeffery has cabled a quarantine order to Honolulu directing that no bananas or pineapples shipped to California until a method of pack ing which shall insure that no peat is carried in the wrapping is adopted. The reports brought back by E. K. Cranes, superintendent of the State insectary, who returned from the is lands recently, indicated that strin gent precaution's are necessary. Fisher Appoint Brook. Washington, D. C Secretary of the Interior Fisher has selected Alfred H. Brooks, for ten year geologist In charge of all work in Alaska, to suc ceed A. Willard Hayes as geologist in chief of the geological survey. The appointment will be made immediate ly upon the arrival here of Mr. Brooks, who ia returning from Alaska. Mr. Brook is native of Michigan and ha been in the geological aervice of the government 16 year. r vVT t WAR ON "SOFT DRINKS." Dr. Wiley Begins Inquiry Into Ingred ient Used. Washington, D. C. An order for the immediate consideration of the perplexing questions, "What is beer?" "What is vinegar?" and "What is a soft drink?" was passed by the board of food and drug inspection at a meet ing in the office of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis try and chairman of the board. The three problems have been under con sideration nearly two years, but mem bers of the board have been unable to agree. Vinegar will be the first sub ject considered by the board. Hear ings have been held on the subject of pure beer, vinegar and soft drinks. It is the contention of Dr. Wiley that pure vinegar should be made only from cider, and that vinegars made from malt, sugar, molasses, wine and other ingredients should not be brand ed as "pure vinegar." Dr. Doolittle is said to hold similar views. Action against "soft drinks" sold from soda fountains will be taken. The government police power will give Dr. Wiley the opportunity to enforce his rulings in Washington by confiscating impure drinks at local soda fountains. "The pure soft drink should contain only a pure fruit extract, sugar, spice and pure water," said Dr. Wiley. "If I had my way, no other soft drinks would be permitted on the mar ket." CORN CROP WILL BE SHORT. Flax Only Leading Staple to Show Increase Over 1910. Washington, D. C.

Twenty Injurad Army Corp Aid Rescue Engineer Say He Had No Order. Omaha Seven persons were killed and 20 injured, four of them serious ly, in a collision between Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 105, north bound, en route for this city, and a fast freight train. The wreck, which occurred at Fort Crook, ten miles south of here, is be lieved to have resulted from a misun derstanding of orders on the part of the freight crew. A passenger train due to leave this city for the South about the time of the accident waa converted into a relief train and sent to the scene of the accident, and later returned here with the uninjured and several of those who were slightly in jured. All of these were sent on their way. Those more seriously injured are being cared for at the Army hos pital at Fort Crook. Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, who was a passenger on the northbound train, was uninjured. Passenger train No. 105, out of Kansas Ctiy, in charge of F. R. Tra vel's, conductor, was running late. L. P. Gross, conductor of the freight passed South Omaha at 8 :30. He had "signed off" but evidently did not check the train register as to the whereabouts of No. 105. At the point of collision the track make a sharp curve, shutting off the view of the Fort Crook station. It was at this point that Engineer Craw ford of the freight sighted No. 105, which at as coming at high speed. En gineer Crawford, it is said, had no orders in regard to No. 105, but he whistled and slackened speed. When the passenger did not answer he con cluded it was a train on the adjoining Burlington tracks. When within a few car lengths of each other, both engineers realized the danger and reversed their engines. The momentum of the passenger train however, was so great that in a mo ment it was piled high upon the freight engine, which had almost stopped. The crews of both engine jumped. Dr. John Colliver, of Los Angeles, a passenger in the Pullman, rushed to the front and worked heroically to as sist the injured. The crew and uninjured passengers formed themselves into a band that worked under the direction of Dr. Col liver until the arrival of the Army medical corps, from Fort Crook, under Major Dale and Lieutenant Clark. A call was sent to Omaha for medi cal assistance The engineer of the passenger declared he heard no whistle from the freight train. He said he was not going over 25 or 30 miles. ATTACKING TURKS LOSE. Invading 'Force Leaves Behind On Dead and Field Gun, Tripoli Refore dawn Sunday morn ing 200 Turkish infantrymen attacked the intrenched advance posts of the Italians, west of Boumeliane. After an hour' fighting, the Italian infantry, backed by field guns landed from the fleet, forced the Turks to beat a retreat, leaving one dead, a quick firing gun with ammunition and various supplies. Four Italian soliders were wounded. Constantinople The Turkish parlia ment was opened Saturday afternoon, the Sultan' speech being read by the grand vizier in the presence of the sultan, the oldest Turkish princes, the foregin diplomats and the heads of the foreign banks. The speech declared that Italy opened hostilities before the expira tion of 24 hours after the ultimatum was given and with firing upon tor pedo boats in the Adriatic when they were saluting, ignorant that hostili ties had broken out. President ' Set 'Em Up." , San Francisco Every officer and enlisted man on the flagship Caifornia drank the president's health in Cali fornia champagne, the treat being pro vided by the president. Although other naval formalities were duly observed when the president came over the side of the flagship, it was noted that the regulation salute of 21 guns was not fired. It was learned that the salute had been omitted at the special request of the president, who desired that no avoidable noise be made on Sunday. Quake Kills In Sicily.
