Chapel Hill, Nov, 13 In view of the continued depletion of the commercial fishes of North Carolina and the inade quate laws now on our statute books to meet the 'per cent condition: and in view of the general indifference of one county toward the interests of another, or the state as a whole, it has been de cided by the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey K, the North Caro lina Fish Commission, and the North Carolina Oyster Commission to call a convention 6f the fishermen and others interested in ' the" fishing Industry of North Carolina. The main purpose of this convention is to discuss the report submitted by the fish committee appointed by the Legislature of 1909. This report, which was made to the Legislature of 1911 in the form of a bill,' was discussed by the joint fish committee of the House and the Senate for nearly thirty days; and finally a substitute bill waa reported by these committees and from the appro priation committee, which was appro ved by the Legislative Fish Committee of 1909, passed by . the House, but de feated in the Senate on account of sen atorial courtesy. This action of the Senate shows that the Senators bad not considered the question from the stand point of the state at large, and loo many of them believed it to be purely a local question. The convention is to be held at New Bern, North Carolina, December 13, and 14; and it is hoped to have men as dpIporAtpn ranrpQAntinir tho NimmAntial fisheries on the sea-coast und tide-wa iter North Carolina, and that the con vention win result in narmonizmg the various individual interests along the coast so that the good of the stnte as a whole will be aervad rather than some particular section' at the expense of other sections of the state.

Shanghai, Nov, 14 -The rebels took formal possession of Cheefuo yesterday without further resistance from the Imperialists. A reward of $200,000 was offered by the rebels, following a military con ference at Soochow, for the head of Gen. Chang Hsun, the Imperialist com mander at Nankin, who was responsi ble for the massacre of Chinese follow ing the failure of the revolutionist at tempt to capture the city. It is reported here that the rebel force before Nankin hai at last receiv ed the long-delayed supplies of ammu nition and renewed their attack and that the city is now burning. In an swer to the invitations for a gathering in Shanghai of delegates from the 14 provinces now in rebellion against the Manchus to establish a provincial re publican national assembly, measures are coming iu from all over the South to the effect that selections are being made and that the delegates may be ex pected here as rapidly as rapidly as the disturbed condition of the country will permit, Much uneasiness is felt in high re volutionary circles over the news that Rupsia is sending Cossacks to Peking in anticipation of a disintegration of China, The revolutionists have been afraid from the first of foreign attempt to take advantage of the confusion pre vailing throughout the empire for a series of territorial grabs, and despite the denials from Washington, a good deal of credence is given to reports that the United States is leading a movement for "internationalizing" the Yangtze Valley. The result of this alarm is the steady growth of an anti foreign sentiment which promises to become daily bitterer and will certainly culminate in a violent outbreak in the event of Occidental in tervention in Chinese affairs. The view among the more enlightened revolutionists is that China is on the eve of an awakening which will speedi ly place their country among the might iest of the world's powers and they do not propose to see it pass without a struggle at the moment of its regener ation, into the hands of aliens. They have treated foreigners with the great est consideration thus far as a means of preventing outside interference.

Government Changes Pino of Abolishing Smaller Plants. Washington, November 15 Although it has been the desire of the Navy De partment to abolish a number of the smaller Southern yards, it now seems possible that the adoption of a new pol icy of specialization will result ia the continuance of all the plants in active service. The idea would be to have each station cover some particular field of naval work or serve as a training station of supplies. Already, aa a result of recent expe rience there, the department has decid ed that hereafter all torpedo boats and destroyers shall be returned at the Charleston. S. (,C yard. This means that the Charleston plant practically will be the "mother yard" of torpedo boats, and consequently it should be a very busy place in the future. There area great many of these little vessels in the service now and the plans of na val strategists contemplates quadrup ling the number in the course of a few years. An illustration of what the Charles' ton yard can do waa furnished recently when one of the torpedo boats bound for New York to participate in the na val rendezvous smashed a cylinder and put in there. The Charleston mechanics agreed to replace the cylinder in one third the time and at one-sixth the coat demanded by the builders of the vessel. The Washington yard was turned in to an ordnance factory some time ago, and the satisfactory result of this ex periment, combined with the experi ence at Charleston, is expected to cause the idea of extending the special ization policy to other smaller plants to be favorably considered.

Fall of Hon- kow Dxpected. Peking, Nov. 16 It is known in of ficial circles here that the military preparations in the Philippines are go ing fnward with great vim.! It is understood that America will act for all the powers in case of inter vention and there will not be an allied force such as Admiral Seymour took into Peking during the Boxer up-rising, but merely an American armed force in the even it ia dee'dod by the powers to intervene 1 Foreign residents say if there is a laoding it will be foolhardy ti send so small expedition ae 10,000 men. They point out that the landing' of foreign troops probably will precipilite an an ti-foreign outbreak which 10,000 men cannot hope to- quell.

MANCHU E A LOST CAUSE : In China. Rebel Warships to Bom bard Nankin. Pirates and Thieves Everywhere. Shanghai, China, Nov. 15th. While Yuan Shi Kai, the last hope of the Manchu administration in Chins, is re vealing to a committee of the national assembly the conditions throughout the empire which evidently make the Man chu reign a lost cause, the revolutiona ries here propose to send the 13 vessels of the Imperial fleet, which joined them against the government forces at Nan kin. With the revolutionary flags flying from their tops the warships steamed up the river past the berths occupied by the foreign vessels, none of which ac knowledged the salutes of the rebels. It is said the officers of the vessels will be retained in command by the revolu tionary leaders. It seems impossible that Nankin, the largest city on the Rangtze river, still in possession of the government, will be able to withstand the assault of the warships, the strongest in the Chinese navy. The rebels plan a joint attack on Nankin by the land forces and the war ships. Meager advices from river points in dicate that outlawry is spreading and the crime is unchecked. Even in tho ' streets of the large cities the inhabit ants, supposedly under the. protection of the revolutionary leaders, are in ter ror. River pirates coming from no one knows where and infesting all the har bors. Thousands of them, openly band ed together, are attacking the police and soldiers. They are burning villages and murdering the inhabitants after carrying away everything of value. Reports from Changchowfu in South ern China, which went over to the reb els say that the city is overrun with thieves. It surrendered without fight ing, as most of the inhabitants were in sympathy with the revolution. All buildings have been looted by the in vading soldiers and thfir officers seem unable to enforce discipline. The ter ror oi the people who were too fright ened to protect their possessions alone prevented massacre. ' Ub LAND. FOR SALE. 25 acres of valuable land within 7 miles of New Bern, north. Write C. P.
