The recent increase in the authoriz- ed capital stock of the Niagara Navi- gation Co. from one million to three million dollars and following the pur- chase of the Hamilton boats, it looks very much like an effort on the part of the N.

Imperialists Suffered Ileavily I Battle at Hankow. Reporte From ncene of Recent Con - flick Shows That Royalists Were Evacuating the City When Two of Their Trains Wore Destroyed and • Occupants Were Attacked • With Great Loss --Reassuring Report, Fekin, Jan. 6. -Seven hundred Im- perial troops are repctnted to have been trilled or wounded Thursday in a bat - tie /oar Hankow, Province of Ra- pines With the revolutiooiste. The Im- penal forces were evacuating the eity when, two of their trains were destroy- ed. From these trains 1,000 troops, independent, of their commanders, were making an effort to return to Hankow. The revolutionists, however, attacked them vigorously, inflicting heavy loss. This information reached Pekin yesterday in a eonsular report from Hanleow. The report added that there was a conference in Hankow yester- day between the Imperialists and re- volutionist, but that no agreement was reached. It in believed here that the fighting will be resumed to -day, Government reinforcements are being nshed to- ward Hankow over the Tientsin-Pu- kow Railway. The Imperial conn naand.er reports a battle near Hwang- pei, a short dstance north of Han- kow. The 3,000 Imperial Government troops, who were ordered from Peon ing and Shihnhaichwang to assist in the suppression of the mutiny of Chi- nese troops at Lanchow, arrived there . Thursday evening. There was con• siderable fighting in the city during the night The telegraphs were cut and the rail trains suspended until noon yesterday. The commandaut at Lanchow tele- graphed to the legations in Pekin yes- terday that only a portion of the 20th division of the Imperial army -created the recent trouble. The mutineers have since been subdued and punish- ed, and order has been completely restored. There is, he says, no cause ,for further alarm. The train service and the telegraphs are resuming im. mediately. The mutineers, the com- mandant declares, forged his name in sending telegrams to the foreign lega- tions and the consuls. The Imperial Government troops are now concentrating at Lanchow for the purpose of maintaining order and making preparations to meet a possi- .ble landing of revolutionists from Canton. There is a marked revival of uneasi- ness in Northern China. The Imper- ial Government is circulating full re- ports of the negotiations with the re- bels at Shanghai, showing that the ;evolutionists resent the Premier's de- termination not to accept Tang Shao Yi's arrangements in regard to the national convention to decide on the future form of governilLe_nt.."

It is generally believed that Yuan Shi Kai has been playing a double game from the first, and now finds his plans frustrated by the election of Sun Yat Sen as president of the pro. visional government. Japan contin- ues a policy of strict neutrality in China. A report from Pekin that Yuan had applied to Japan for' help is discredit- ed in Tokio. Even if it were true the belief prevails here that it would be premature for any power to forsake neutrality at this juncture, except it were preparing against emergencies which might arise through the Man- chus turning against, Yuan. Reducing Tax With Profits. Berlin, Jan 6. -The new city coun- cil will start its business for 1912 with about $10,000 in the treasure', $9,000 of which will be applied to- ward keeping down the tax rate for this year. Town Treasoter Huber has been notified by the light commission authorities that $7,100 will be paid out of the profits of the light and power plant for 1911 and handed over to the town treasury.

The -Chester White hog, long the favorite breed throughout a, large part of this country, still holds its own against other varieties. It has been known as a distinct breed for almost a ,century. The history of the. breed is somewhat clouded, al- though it is said to have had its origin when some white boars were imported from Bedfordshire, Eng- land, to cross with the better class of sows then raised in Chester county, Pa., whence its name. The Chester White sow here illustrated Is reproduced' from the Country Gentleman. tal feed a greatly increased gain rns suited from the use of tankage at the' rate of one-third of a pound. and oli two-thirds of a pound daily. The tar; ger amount of tankage produced the heaviest gains. In these tests thtt tenkage was fed with water in thit form of a thin 1610p. The pigs deveid oped a very great liking for this sio . and it was noted that the pigs whic received tankage cared less for a san and ashes mixtute that was kept be- fore all of the lots. While it was not possible to securg exact records of the amount of cor4 consumed by the various lots, yet alll lots had access to as much corn as they would consume, a small amount a corn being left in the droppings bli some of the lots. However, the rate of gain indicates that the use of tank.; age was very profitable. Feeds such as ski ealt linseed oil in soy beans or alien similar f en could be used in the plane eage-if market conditions would I Indicate that their use would be mor profitable.
