Minister WI Tlne FaEg has received
word that Prince Tuan. the ringl leader
OF the revolutionary Chinese forces, has
5heen I1onored even beyond what was at
first reported. Minister Wuh ad beenaa
first reported. Minister WI said that he
understood that Prince Tuan had been
appointed to the privy council, the adj
svisory board closest to the throne, in
stead of having received appointment to
the grand setariate, which is purely
honorary position without any particu-
lar responsibility attached to it.
This news is Of the highest import
ance. emphasizing the fact that the cen-
ira. government in China is bent on ir-
sulting the foreign powers in every way
possible. Minister WI was closeted with
the assistant secretary of state, David.
~. Hill, for nearly an hour, but would
not talk to newspaper men afterward.
1t is understood on the best authority,
however, that he informed the assistant
secretary OF the probable exaltation OF
Prince Tuan.

abroad going to show that Germany
seems bent on military rather than di-1
8plomatic easures. has aroused the va

bloody times ;may.yet be in store for the
allies in China.
This nation has declared that 1t will
hold the culprits who were guilty of the
recent outrages against legations to
strict accountability for their crime.
If China's mood remains sullen and in

these rogues herself.
4 This nation. in the words of high
lofficial, cannot retract what is has said
on any one Of theespropostions and If
actual warfare. the United States must
meet it as it did the first crisis in China.
The fact that Germany is reported on
good authority to- be making ready to
Launch a broad military program in Chi
ma indicates that the kaiser is intent or
A making good use of his eminent mili-
n tary representative in the fiowery king
