_
By Cnblo to The Dally Gateway.
Pekin, Nov. L’.V Serious riots occur
red in Nanking this morning. Both
Americans and English are seeking
refuge aboard gunboats that lie in the
harbor.
China has been threatened with a
revolution since the death of Emperor
Kuan Hgsu and the empress dowager
ten days ago, and the placing of Puyii
on the throne with Prince Chun as
regent. The opposition to Emperor
Puyii is wide spread. An uprising of |
the people in Pekin was prevented j
only by calling out the soldiers and
placing the city under martial law.
Disorder has spread to other cities and
is manifesting itself in lawlessness and
riots. The government is using all its
power to prevent a revolution and
suppress the riots
There are many foreigners in Nan
king who have become alarmed at the j
disorder in the city, and while not t
directly attacked they believe their
lives are endangered. #The rioters
threaten to take the lives of govern
ment officials, and to burn the city. |
So serious is the situation that the |
foreigners consider no place safe ex
cept the war vessels in the harbor.

CARNEGIE MUST"
GIVE R ISONS
He Is Summoned Before Tariff
Commission to Show Cause
for Reform Statements.
t
By Cftblo to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 25—Andrew
Carnegie’s statement issued yesterday
in which he urged tariff reform on the
ground that infant industries no longer i
need protection created something of
a sensation. The tariff committee has '
taken the matter up and today sum
moned Mr. Carnegie to appear before
that body and give bis reasons for ad
vocating a reduction in tariff, ihe
standpatters who wish to maintain the ;
present high tariff are very much ex-J
ercised because one so prominent in
the steel industry, which has grown
and waxed strong under a protective j<
tariff, should now publically advocate ji
a change of policy. They teelthat the |
strong hold of the protectionists is be
ing assaulted by one who should have
been its most valiant supporter. <
They realize that this attack is one !
they dare not ignore. On the other
hand the friends of tariff reform liall .
with delight a champion of their cause 1
in the person of the great steel mag
nate, Carnegie. They believe that
the influence of his arguments will!
go far toward bringing about a reform j
of the tariff to which the president
elect lias pledged Ids support.

Naval Officers at Banquet Ptillv j j
Answer Criticism Passed j
on Battleships.
i
3y Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Chicago, Nov. 25—A naval academy
banquet was given here last night at j
which six rear admirals were present j i
,md made addresses. They replied i
fuliy to the criticisms that have been
passed upon the war ships. (
During the year critics have freely ,
passed judgment in the public press j
upon the construction of the American j
battleships and have said that their
urmorplate was wrongly placed, and
that the ships in action would be poor- j
Iv prepared to resist the projectiles of j
the enemy’s lleet. They have also |
criticised the construction of the ves-1
sels in other respects, and have at- j
tempted to show that the American
lleet is not up to date, and could not
withstand a naval encounter with any
of the first class fleets of a foreign
nation. These rear admirals in their
addresses last night minutely reviewed
the construction of the war ships,
answering the critics fully, and showed
that the American battleships are
on the most approved modern plans,
and are fuliy abreast of the times.
NEW RIVERS DISCOVERED
Geologist From Chicago Adds I hree
to flap of Extreme Northern.
Alaska.
Ernest Leffingwell of the University
of Chicago arrived in San Francisco
the 7th inst. on the whaler Narwhal.
He had spent two years on the desolate
shore of Flaxman island with no com
panions except two Eskimo families.
Flaxman island lies between Point
Harrow and Ilirschel island. In this
region Mr. Leffingwell claims to have
discovered and mapped out three
rivers flowing into the Arctic. These
rivers are not many miles apart and
are about 150 miles long. The names
given these rivers are Koogruak,
Hula-Hula and Opeelak. During Mr.
Leffingwell’s stay in the extreme north
he says he met with a few prospectors
who said they had found very little
“color”, and that there are no
indications that the country is rich in
minerals, but from a geological point
of view it is full of interest.
A Thanksgiving Feast
A great treat is in store for all those
who go to The Palace Grill for their
Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. *

nquest Over Body of Hass Calls
for Investigation by Heads
of Department.
By Cable to The Dmiy Gateway.
San Francisco, Nov. 25—1The coro
ier’s jury in the Hass suicide case
:ook occasion today to roundly censure
he police for turning over a prisoner
to the jailers while he had a revolver
concealed about his person, and they
lemand an investigation by the heads
of the department.
Hass was iminediaiely arrested after
he shot Prosecuting Attorney Francis
J. Heney, and after being searched
was turned over to the jailers. He
later committed suicide by shooting
himself with a small revolver which,
it is alleged, was concealed in his shoe.
The police stoutly maintain that the
prisoner was thoroughly searched, and
that he had no weapon on his person
when committed to jail. They throw
all the responsiblity for the suicide
upon the jailers, who deny any com
plicity in the matter. The demand
made by the coroner's jury is likely to
lead to a thorough investigation of the
whole situation.
