British Admiral Takes Command of Chinese Guuboats--=Great Britain Will Land Marines at Pekin. Pekin, Oct. 1¥.--The government seems at last to be awakening from the stupor in which the first news of the outbreak plunged it. Twenty-four troop trains have left Pao Ting Fu, and the sixth army division will be entrained today. How far, however, the troops can be depended upon, re mains very doubtful, General Yin Chang, the war minister, who is in personal command of the army, has no confidence in the soldiers. One hundred American marines will sail from Manila on Wednesday to re inforce the legation guard here, and Great Pritain is prepared to land a body of marines from her eastern squadron for the same purpose. A report that may have most ser ious consequences is that the rebellion has been caused by Japanese intrigues. There is good reason to believe that this story originated from government sources, and is being circulated for the purpose of alienating popular sym- pathy from the rebels. British Admiral in Command. Hankow, Oct. 18.--The outposts of the imperial troops are only 4,000 vards distant from She >xtbels' posi tions, and are close to t foret,m contessions.

Hankow, China, Oct. 18.=<A force of ten thousand revolutionists are, to- day, engaged with four thousand gov- ernment troops from the warships in a fierce engagement on the outskirts of this city. Warships of all other great powers are here to protect for- eign life and property, and most of the women and children from the city have been shipped down the river. The casualties are very Heavy on) both sides, and surgeons and hospital corps from foreign warships are helping to succor the wounded, Chinese gunboats on the river used their guns very effectively against the rebel fortifications. From observa tions of oflicers aboard neutral ships, it is evident that at this hour the re volutionists appear to have the ad- vantage. Other Cities Reported Fallen, Pekin, China, Oct. 18. There are alarming despatches here to-day to the effect that Nanking, Kia Kiung and other big cities have fallen imo the hands of the revolutionists.

THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT MADE HIM REVERED AND BELOVED. A Complimentary Dinner in, Grant Hall--A Big Company to do Honor te an Eminent Education ist--The Addresses Were Choice. Professor Nathan F. Dupuis, over half a century in Yneen's university as a student and professor, was, on Tuesday eveming, on the occasion ol his retirement, tendered a complimen- tary disner by the board of trus tees of the university and the hoard of governors of the School of Min- ing and Agriculture, in Grand Hall, and it proved to be a fitting ocean sion for a public testimonial to the Yharacter and worth of the retiring ctlucationist. The addresses of a very oom plimentary character apd set forth the mecomparable service the distinguish- ed graduate had rendered to the eol- were DEAN N. F. DUPUIS, Sincerity and simplicity marked strenucos life his FITTING CLOSE itish Whi . dress fall of humor, full of mathemati- cal terms and his clever way of pro voking siniles as he discussed abstrue problems, was highly appreciated and tickled the fancies of all who had any knowledge of what he was driving at. It certainly was a splendid effort and commanded the admiration of those present. A novelty was the presentation of illustrated pictures entitled "Queen's and Dupuis," and fittingly presented Queen's colors, ber buildings, ber growth and development, and por traits of the professor from the age of fourteen until the present, the final one being that of him sitting in his automobile and entitled "1911 and Younger Than Ever," The scenes were in natural colors and the skilful work of Professor Kalmus, of the depart- ment of physics, and his assistant, Calvin Day, M.A. The autuma tints were on the trees and sand piles were presented in their natural color and in a way that testified that the physics department was in touch with the latest discoveries in photography. Gordon Cameron worked the instru- ment with excellent effect. Dr. P. C. Meliregor, Almonte, a fel low-student of Prof. Dupuis, told, in humerous ways, of the early struggle of the college, of its few students and the brilliance of Prof. Dupuis as a student, as a singer and as a vielin- ist. He sketcied the class of eighteen, of whom nine graduated Fight are living, five are dead, and the condi- tion of the other five is unknown. He concluded with a very eulogistic re ference to the worth of the professor and the ability which he displayed in the teaching of the many graduates who had passed t'wough his hands. Prof. John Matheson, the successor of Dean Dupuis, intimated that the professor's name would be carried down through all time by a scholar ship which the graduates of the uni- versity had subscribed to the amount of $3,100, of which $2,500 was in cash. «+ He read numerous letters. in which the writers » spoke complimen tary of Dean Dupuis, and who revere and love him for his qualities of head and heart. Prof. Matheson handed a cheque for the amount to Principal Gordon and asked that a small com mittee be appointed to determine the regulations €or the administration of the scholarship. Principal Gordon named Prof. Goodwin, Prof. Mathe- son, Dean Connell, D. M. Melntyre, G. Y. Chown, Frapcis King. The prin- cipal spoke feelingly of the dean's work at Queen's and of his love, not only of applied but of pure science He was an educationist of the first quality and his work would long stand as a memorial to Queen's Throughout the evening the eulogis- te references to the guest of honor were applauded and when the dean arose to reply, the demonstration was very marked. He was not only cheer- ed but given the Queen's yell, fol- lowed by singing of "For He's a Jolly b lege throughout the greater part her history. His simplicity and cerity were marked characteristics and the trials and difficulties of professional life had not lessened sweetness and purity of his character! the gemiality of his Osposition.
